Do you have a childhood nickname?
Li.
If money wasn't an object, what would you dream of buying?
Well, if money wasn't an object, I would say a pair of "Louboutin". But my life's dream is to always see my daughter happy and healthy. It's a cliche, but after I became a mother, I realized this is one true cliche!
Something that you always dreamed of and now you obtained?
I went to Walt Disney World, "Where dreams come true".
What was the latest beauty item you purchased?
An eyelash curler. Mine was so old and worn out!
Favourite Nail Polish Colour?
Carmin (a red) and Paris (a white), both by Risque, a brazilian brand.

Rolling in the deep, by Adele.
Unforgettable trip?
To New York and Orlando, USA.
Glass half full or half empty?
Half full!

What would I find in your purse right now?
Wallet, make-up bag (I carry everything in it - from my concealer to mascara, including the brushes! lol), toiletries bag (tissues, eye drops, hand cream, lip balm), sewing kit, cell phone, Bach florals, keys, a rosary, phew! With this answer I realized that I carry my home in my purse! If you look closely, even a pacifier you might find in here!

Tissues, ID, cell phone.
What do you like to wear to play with your little daughter?
Jeans and tank tops; and sometimes long skirts are manageable.

A navy blue long skirt with a cream coloured top and a cropped sweater. 
To finish this interview, do you have any good advice for our readers on how to save while shopping?
I always search beforehand the products I want to buy and find out where the sales are. But my key advice is to research before you buy.
