Where are your mother and father from and if you would like to a line or two about them:
My mothers name is Brenda Phillips, she works as a finance officer in a high school. My fathers name is Steven Phillips and he works for an engineering firm. Both my parents also grew up in Hampshire which means family was always close by.
A couple of things of which you have done or are doing now and your inspiration and reasons for doing them:
I have always been a tomboy. When I was younger I loved being active and loved sports. I wanted to try as many things as possible. I did football, netball, athletics, kayaking, horse riding and more. I was also into the arts but that developed more with age. Trying music lessons and also joining a youth theatre when I was 11 years old. We did 3 shows a year with the company as well as doing shows with my school. I feel I was lucky at school as I was in most of the top classes; I had a very academic side and finished with all top results.
What is beauty to you:
Natural beauty and the beauty within.
What do you find beautiful in others:
Their kindness. The most beautiful thing is just being yourself; I also believe that your smile is your most beautiful asset.
What are your thoughts about ageing and beauty:
I feel that you are beautiful no matter what your age. You define yourself when you get older and I think that’s where the true beauty lies.
What gives you strength in life:
Knowing that I have loving family and friends that support me. Also the belief I have in my self that I will get to where I want to be.
What gives you a sense of identity:
I have always struggled with knowing who I am. Finding my own style and feeling comfortable in my own skin has really helped find my identity.
What do you do to keep in shape physically and how often:
I like to work out and keep active. Whether that is running, going to the gym or doing hobbies such as gymnastics. Its also a great release. I also drink a lot of water, it helps my skin, hair and body.
