Hey guys, it's Romee and I'm hanging here with Young Hollywood and these are my firsts and lasts. So, my first celebrity crush was probably Adriana Lima. When Adriana Lima steps on the runway, she's, like, owning it and she's really confident and sexy and that's amazing. The last perfume I wore is the Bombshell Paradise because summer is coming and this fragrance is so fruity and floral and perfect for summer. I think my favorite fragrance is all the Bombshells because Bombshell is our iconic fragrance and I'm the face of the Bombshell Seduction, which is really nice too for a date night. My first job was a job in Amsterdam.
It was a photoshoot but my first international shoot was Fashion Week in London and it was the Burberry Fashion Show. I was so nervous. I remember I was backstage with all these well known models and I was just in shock. I felt like I was living in a dream. When I got on stage, I was still so nervous because I was really scared to fall. But then when it was done, I felt like I owned the world. So the last time I cried about a movie was never because I don't really cry in movies. I guess "Notebook" got me close to crying. It was so romantic, it made me cry. It was on a flight and I don't know what it is with flights but you're so much more emotional on flights.
The first time I modeled was in Amsterdam. It was a test shoot. I was scouted by an agency on the streets. We just did a first sesh shoot on the beach. Scheveningen, it's called, it's a beach in Holland. I was really, really nervous but it was kind of chill because it wasn't like an actual job. So, the last person I called is probably my cousin. She's one year old and so cute. I Facetime her everyday, it makes me so happy. She doesn't say anything yet because she can't talk but she's kissing the screen when she's sees me. Lots of love is coming through the screen. So, the first thing I do in the morning is look at my phone.
I know, it's a really bad thing but when you stop the alarm you just automatically look at your messages and emails but I know it's better to not do it. I think I stay in bed for like five minutes, looking at my phone, not that long. After that, I go to the shower, I splash some water in my face and I start my skincare routine. I'm definitely a morning person. I like to get stuff done in the morning, like my workout and my emails, because I feel like I can enjoy my day much better. The last song I listened to is Billy Ellish with "bad guy", in the car, on my way here. I just like the beat in it. It's different than our other songs.
Thank you guys for watching and don't forget to go to the Victoria's Secret store and pick your favorite fragrance.
