In a sea of beautiful universal women that will set foot in the China, what makes you stand out?
Having the X factor! The ability to live my life in complete balance where happiness of the soul and leading others from the heart is of the utmost importance. Ambitious in my goals and quest for success, I believe it is necessary to have high standards to work towards. Tackling life with a professional edge, I am driven by competition and always seeking challenges. My communication skills, professionalism, sparkling personality, business skill set and positive energy set me apart. Miss International is the unique opportunity to go beyond expectations, to embrace challenges and to use initiative for the betterment of others. Here lies the chance to be a positive role model, to set an example and to be a proud ambassador of the international spirit. Having such a platform to work from provides the opportunity for reaching out, being approachable and bridging the differences between cultures, religions and countries. Based on my strong work ethic, perseverance, optimistic outlook and kind heart, I am passionately committed to making a difference.
Any beauty secrets that you would like to share the readers of Missosology?
Skin care is the most important factor of any beauty regimen. Implementing 3 basic skin care steps (cleanse, hydrate and moisturize) into your daily routine can improve the look of your skin for a younger and more radiant glow. Fast, effective and more importantly you will see results!
My recipe for a homemade exfoliant: (great for face and body) Ingredients:
1 tablespoon raw sugar
5-10 drops olive oil
5-10 drops honey
5-10 drops hot water
Instructions:
Gradually add liquid ingredients to sugar in a bowl until desired consistency is achieved. Apply to desired areas and gently scrub.My recipe for a homemade nourishing facial mask:
Ingredients:
1/2 over-ripe banana
1/2 over-ripe avocado
2 Tbsp unflavored full-fat yogurt
1 tsp olive oil
Instructions:
Mash banana and avocado, combine with other ingredients, and mix well. Apply liberally to face and neck. Leave on for 20 to 30 minutes, then rinse with warm water.If you could trade places with any other famous person for a week, real or fictional, with whom would it be & why?
I would like to trade places with the world renowned journalist Christiane Amanpour a CNN international reporter for 26 years. Journalism is the medium that connects world news, issues and people. Her unbridled ambition to tell the truth no matter how difficult or unpopular in hopes to stir the global consciousness is truly inspiring.
What is your worst quality?
Something I am currently working on is taking the time for the process of self reflection through journal writing. A journal is a tool to reflect back on in the future for either a good laugh, a reminder of great moments and to learn from past experiences. It is an outlet to express oneself and is a great way to decompress feelings, emotions and a new source for thinking out solutions.
Describe your fashion sense & style.
My fashion mantra is "dress for success head to toe". My personal style is elegant, chic and figure flattering. My wardrobe staples are a classic dress coat, set of pearls, a great pair of dark denim jeans and high heels. To update your wardrobe each season try a new fashionable handbag, sunglasses, jewelry and edgy accessories. Of course the best way to rock any look is to have inner confidence!
If Hollywood made a movie about your life, whom would you like to see play the lead role as you?
I would cast Julia Roberts to play the lead role. Julia has an undeniable ability to capture the hearts of audiences worldwide. Her chameleon like ability to connect deep with any role and deliver a performance coming from a place of truth, exemplifies the talent of this great actress. With a mega watt smile she exudes such positive energy in front of the camera. Her charismatic ways generate inspiration beyond the silver screen.. she has become involved with UNICEF charities and has made many visits to different countries in order to promote goodwill. Julia Roberts is an iconic women who has bettered our world.
If you were a type of food, what type of food would you be?
The type of food I would like to be is the "Queen of the Fruits" Mangosteen! The tropical fruit has powerful effects and healing benefits. It's medicinal benefits include:
- anti fatigue
- anti depressant
- anti oxidant
- anti aging
- anti obesity
- cancer prevention
This superfood is good for the body, mind and soul!If you were written about in the newspaper, on the front page, what would the headline say?
Well known beauty queen and philanthropist, Chanel Beckenlehner becomes goodwill ambassador working for the United Nations for international relations regarding peace and conflict resolution.
