About Me:

I'm a professional dancer who loves to draw, illustrate and paint with pastels and acrylics. I also design accessories like belts, wrist cuffs and "things" out of leather, fabric and recycled materials.
I'm a fitness fanatic. Well, not so much,LOL, but I do honor my body and health so I'm very much into bikram yoga, power yoga, skating, gym workouts, power walking, jogging, flamenco dancing, hip hop, dancehall and brazilian samba and would love to : go back to kung fu, learn aerial tricks and learn to be a great swimmer one day. Oh, and play the guitar! hee. I have two and I still don't know how to play.shameful..
I love red wine as much as I do love wheatgrass...they both make me feel GOOD! =)

Love, love , Love watching movies specially indies,action, kung fu, comedies, mystery thrillers and foreign films (mainly french, italian & brazilian). Adore beaches, enjoy cooking very much and tending to my lovely ever growing plants at home~
