We’re excited to have you featured. Can you tell us a bit about your modeling career and where it all began? Actually, I’ve done several modeling jobs, but what really gave me recognition here in Brazil was being the runner-up for Miss Bumbum Brasil. Even though I came in second place, I ended up standing out more than the winner, and to this day, I am recognized as Miss Bumbum Brasil. So, I believe the most significant moment in my modeling career was definitely the pageant. The pageant is highly valued here in Brazil, and even though it was a few years ago, I am still remembered as Miss Bumbum.
How do you usually start your day? I start my day with a good breakfast, taking care of my face and body, and then I go to the gym to prepare for my work. I work as a model and actress, so I have recordings throughout the day. This job emphasizes beauty, so maintaining my physical and mental health is essential to perform excellently.
If you could spend a day doing anything you wanted, what would it be and why? I am a homebody. I love being at home with my family. My greatest pleasure is having a day off, enjoying my family, sipping chimarrão, and relaxing in my hot tub.
What are your favorite ways to relax and unwind when you’re not working or traveling? My favorite way to relax and unwind, if I’m not working or traveling, is soaking in my hot tub or watching a movie on Netflix or other movie channels. I love watching movies, so being in good company and watching a movie is very enjoyable and relaxing.
Do you have any hidden talents? If so, what are they? I took a masseuse course, so I believe I can give a great massage. I guess you could say it’s a hidden talent because it’s very nice to give and receive a massage.
What is the best place you have ever visited in the world? I have traveled to many countries, but I really love Paris. Now in October, I will be celebrating my birthday and going there again with my family because it’s a beautiful, romantic place, and it’s a very pleasant trip to take with the people we love.
What are some of your biggest dreams that you hope to achieve? My biggest dream is to become a successful entrepreneur. I already have some rental properties and chicken shops, so I want to grow in my field and become a successful entrepreneur, opening franchises in various states in Brazil and expanding my business.
Three things you can’t go a day without. I think sex is fundamental, so it’s necessary, either daily or every three days at most. I love watching a good movie and eating out at restaurants because savoring delicious food is delightful. So, I enjoy visiting restaurants.
Looking back, what advice would you give to your younger self? Invest in real estate as soon as possible, reduce spending on trivial things, don’t spend so much on bags, clothes, and shoes, and think more about your old age and financial stability. Having a good asset base is fundamental, and when we’re young, we spend a lot on foolish things. So, I would tell myself to build a solid asset base early on for more stability and a peaceful old age.
With that said, what advice would you give to all women when it comes to love and relationships? My advice for all women regarding relationships is to love yourself first so that others can love you. Do not accept any kind of abusive relationship or live on scraps. I, thank God, have a great relationship, but I see women suffering from psychological and physical abuse. They should not tolerate any form of verbal or physical aggression because they deserve to be happy, respected, and loved. If it means living in an abusive relationship, it’s better to be alone because it’s better to be alone than in bad company.
Are there any qualities or characteristics you find particularly attractive in a partner, and what do you value most? The characteristic I find most attractive in a man is his character. Sometimes physical appearance isn’t everything. For me, what matters is a faithful man, a man of his word, with character, who knows how to communicate and brings love, care, and attention into the relationship. These personal qualities mean much more to me than just appearance.
Thank you so much for your time. Where can our readers follow you on social media to keep up with what you’re doing? People can follow me on Instagram at @andressaurachoficial.
