The 28-year-old Puerto Rican who’s been
featured on the Forbes list of the world’s
highest-paid models is a regular on the
Victoria’s Secret runway and the face of Estée

TRAVEL GEAR
I always take my vitamin
pack that’s loaded with
biotin, vitamin C, moringa,
and Probiotics. I like to travel
with a book—right now I’m
reading The Power of Now
by Eckhart Tolle.VACAT I O N R ECA L L
The last vacation I took
was to Bora Bora where
I stayed at the St Regis
(stregisborabora.com).
The hotel’s Lagoon
Restaurant had the most
delicious truffl e mashed
potatoes that I still crave.
THE ESSENTIALS
I’m an island girl and like
holidaying at tropical placesclose to the water. Nature
calms me and refuels my
soul; being outdoors and
engaging in water sports
gives me the adrenaline
rush I need.WELLNESS FOLLOW UP
Never go to sleep with
make-up on, it’ll clog your
pores. After washing your
face, try using witch hazel
as an astringent. Always use
a moisturiser; I apply a light
one during the day and a
heavier formula at night.
THE QUIRKS
I have a thing for collecting
money from the places that
I’ve travelled and keep it in a
beautiful Indian wood box.1818 TRAVEL +LEISURE / MAY 2 017
