There were moments growing up where I felt beautiful, but I truly didn't feel beautiful all of the time until I became a mom. It really allowed me to realize no one is perfect. ”

The kitchen was the center of our household. I spent all of my time there growing up. ”

I started preparing meals for my family when I was 12 because both of my parents worked, but I didn't know that it was something I could make a career out of until I had my daughter and realized there were people out there who were interested in learning how to prepare a quick meal. ”

I prayed about it consistently - that God would direct me in the right path and that, when it would happen, I would know that I'm in the right place. ”

I wonder why people are so hateful sometimes. I just don't get it. ”

Throughout high school, I was made fun of a lot. I was a lot smaller than the other kids, and I have a big gap in my teeth. I had pretty bad acne. So I struggled with that. ”

My mom has passed down that you can be chic and look beautiful, and you don't have to break the bank. I grew up like that. She also taught me I don't have to stress all the time. She's always been a go-with-the-flow type of woman; that's how she raised us, and I find that's how I'm raising my little girls now. ”

My kids don't like chocolate. My husband doesn't like chocolate, so I get it all to myself. ”

One way I get my kids to try new things is by cooking with them. ”

In the CoverGirl Melting Pout Matte Lipstick ads, I am wearing this gorgeous purple color called Seismic. It's such a different shade, but it works well with my face. I've got hazel eyes, and so purple kind of compliments it. It's a nice shade to put on when I'm feeling a little sassy. ”
