I'm normally a jeans, wife beater, hair in a bun and flip flops kind of girl. That's my go-to sh*t. Small, delicate jewelry. I like to keep things simple.
2. What's your spirit animal or an animal you identify with?
I identify most with a turtle probably. They love to bake in the sun, as do I and move fairly slow but get to their destination without any noise. It's like they just pop up and you're like hey how did you get here? That's totally me. They also have this hard shell they can hide in to protect themselves from predators. I can say I also have a hard outer shell in the sense that I don't allow people to know me too quickly. I'm very specific with who and what I allow in my personal space because I don't believe all people or things deserve to be there. Just like you wouldn't let any old stranger into your home, I'm not going to allow any person into my personal space/life/thoughts unless I feel that connection to want to do that.
I deep condition once a week with Shea Moisture Deep Treatment Masque. I only shampoo when I feel my hair has a lot of build up and I'll use Kerastase Reconstructing Shampoo (green bottle) or Giovanni Hydrating-Clarifying Shampoo. I use Shea Moisture Raw Shea Restorative Conditioner 1-2 times a week depending on my hair style. I normally wear my hair in a high bun and massage my scalp with coconut oil and rosemary oil to keep it moisturized. I also use olive oil from time to time although I don't care for the smell too much. For castings they like to see my hair out and curly so I use a 1/4-inch Hot Tools curling iron to create consistent wavy curls. I used to wash and air-dry my hair but I recently had a fight with my flat iron (I believe the heat was on too high) and I damaged most of my hair. Sadly it does not curl like it used to so I have to re-create the curls with a curling iron. The only time I put heat on my hair now is for castings only because that it "my look." Otherwise it's in a bun or au-natural when I'm just hanging at home. I've decided to start trimming my hair every 3 months to help with the growth because I'm not in the position to cut off all the damaged hair yet.
I would be able to teleport. I love to travel, that's one of the things I want to do more of and if I could teleport I could go everywhere! To name a few off the top of my head I would teleport to Australia, Africa, Philippines, Bali, Monaco (been there, beautiful, need to go back), Japan, Fiji, Puerto Rico, Dominican Republic, Greece, Amsterdam, Brazil. That's all I can think of for now.
5. How do you survive in this industry?
I try and find other things to do outside of this industry that I like. I do yoga. I have 5 dogs (maltipoo family crew) that take up a lot of my energy. Just got a library card… I love to read. I used to be in a book club in elementary/middle school reading 100 books a month. I'm just trying to get back into things that I enjoyed before modeling started. You have to find that balance. It's more about finding got those other things outside of modeling. Although I love modeling that's not the only thing that I have a passion for and I also don't want it to define who I am as a person.
Dominique is an absolute gem and such an inspiration. Look out for her smiling face everywhere. I'm so glad I can share her beauty with you.
Next month, I'll introduce you to another model who's making moves and doing big things. Until next time.
