Whatever was on the flight from L.A. to Europe. My favourite food is ... My mum’s and good Japanese. My beauty routine consists of ... Taking my makeup off before I go to bed and letting my skin breathe. I don’t wear makeup when I’m not working except a touch of VS moisturiser. Not many people know that I ... Have Polish heritage. My hometown is ... Erexim in Brazil.
