The daughter of Kim and Kanye West who is usually decked out in all-black-everything ensembles, stole our hearts once again as a ballerina in a pink unitard, tuto and ballet shoes and hair pulled back, tied into two tight knots on the top of her head. Seriously, could she get ANY cuter?

Joining Kim and Kanye was Kourtney and daughter, Penelope, at Miss Melodie Studios which offers ballet, tap and hip hop classes for children.

This isn’t the first time we’ve seen the little tot in a tutu, the first time we saw her was in a black (obvs!) tutu clutching a teddy bear.

One things for sure, the girl seriously knows how to rock a tutu!

Sometimes, it gets a bit crazy trying to keep up with not only the Kardashians, but all the rich and famous peeps who don’t have their own reality shows.

So, in case you missed out, here are the biggest moments from this week:

1. E! Fashion Police status: hiatus

And then there were two. After a very public departure from E!’s Fashion Police for Kelly Osbourne, Kathy Griffin soon followed suit in decamping from the show; leaving only Giuliana Rancic and co-host Brad Goreski to host the show.

“We look forward to taking this opportunity to refresh the show before the next awards season,” the network said in a statement Tuesday. “Our talented co-hosts Giuliana Rancic and Brad Goreski, along with executive producer Melissa Rivers, will continue their roles as we evolve the show into its next chapter for the legions of Fashion Police fans around the world.”

Part of the ‘evolving’ of the show will reportedly include plans to scrap E!’s mani cam on the red coverage as well as more thought on questions for the celebs on the red carpet.

2. Is Patrick Schwarzenegger cheating on Miley?

Earlier this week, pictures of Patrick Schwarzenegger emerged of him holding a fellow Cappa Cappa Gamma sorority sister in what appears to be an intimate embrace whilst on Spring Break in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. The22-year-old Southern California University student is flying solo on Spring Break, while Miley opted to stay home.

On Monday, Patrick took to twitter to deny the rumours,  “Omg. It’s one of my best friends girlfriend…. Would NEVER do anything against my GF.”

In another tweet, Schwarzenegger wrote, “Girls have guy friends and guys have friends that are girls…”

It was then revealed that Miley knows the brunette mystery girl, Natalie, and the two have allegedly known each other for over a year and reportedly ‘hung out a lot’, sources close to the stars say.

3. Robin Thick and Paula Patton are officially divorced

As high school sweethearts, 20 years together and 9 years of marriage, the pair announced their divorce in 2014 after it surfaced that he was cheating on wife Paula Patton.

The two, who have a four-year-old son, Julian Fuego, together are officially divorced, effective as of 17 March 2015.

4. Suki Waterhouse and Bradley Cooper call it quits

The genetically perfect couple have officially called it quits after two years together. The pair made their official debut as a couple after nine months of dating when the British model/actress , 23, accompanied Cooper, 40, to the New York Premier of  American Hustle back in December 2013.

5. Was Gigi Hadid caught snorting cocaine on camera?

Earlier in the week, a snapchat video of what looked like model Gigi Hadid snorting Cocaine whilst at a Spring Break Victoria’s Secret party in Miami went viral.

The model took to twitter to slam the rumours saying she was doing cocaine, saying:

6. Scott disick is an official paid spokesperson for his rehab center

On Monday, 16 March, Scott, 31, checked into rehab at Rythmia Life Advancement Centre in Costa Rice — for which he is now being paid to attend.

Sources close to the reality TV star reveal that, “Scott needs help [and that] being paid for it is probably what [will] motivate him the most.”

Up till now, Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively have kept their lips sealed on the name of their daughter. But finally in an interview with Willie Geist on NBC’s Today, Ryan Reynolds opened up and confessed the name of his daughter: James.

Earlier this month in an interview, Reynolds told Jimmy Fallon that fatherhood is “the best,” gushing to the late night host, “She’s got me wrapped around her finger. I am a slave to the rhythm … I can’t wait. It’s just going to be teatime every day with her.”

He also explained that there is a perfectly reasonable explanation for their reason on keeping mum on the name, “I didn’t want to be the first guy screaming it out to the media,” Reynolds explained. “Because as we know, little girls turn into teenage girls and little teenage girls sometimes scan through the archives and go, ‘Why did you do that?’”

Ariana Grande and Jimmy impersonate Celine Dion and Peabo Bryson as they sing “Beauty and the Beast.” And she might just have won us over with this here performance.

Whoa! Rob Kardashian just went off on his Instagram about his sister, Kim. Yesterday Rob posted a blood splattered pic of Rosamund Pike, as her chilling character  Amy Dunne, in Gone Girl. Rob captioned the pic, “This is my sister Kim, the b**** from Gone Girl”.  Honestly, if you have seen the movie or read the book,  then we’re certain you agree with us that there is no worse woman in the world to be compared to! Clearly Rob is mad at his big sis, things between the two have not been great since Kim and Kanye’s wedding last year, which Rob was said to have avoided due to insecurity issues regarding his weight. Rob has also been seen less and less on the family’s reality series and has been shying away from being seen in public completely. In the last season of Keeping Up with The Kardashians, Kim was quite impatient with Rob’s depression and weight gain, so maybe now he has had enough of her judging? Whatever the issue between them is we can always rely on the Kardashian klan to serve up a good dose of drama, on and off camera.  We’ll be watching this space closely to see what happens next. Stay tuned….

The Huffington Post reported that Tay-Yay has  just bought not 1 but 2 porn site domain names, but it’s not because she’s thinking of venturing into the adult entertainment industry. According to the site on June 1, there will be over 547 new domain suffixes available and anyone will be able to purchase these, some of which  end in .sucks, .adult and even .porn.

The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers, the nonprofit group behind this expansion of generic top-level domains, or gTLDs, has  given public figures and companies dibs on all the names to get ahead of the game and buy out any domains before the rest of us can.

According to The Huffington Post, CNN spoke with Stuart Lawley, CEO of ICM Registry, which manages the .porn and .adult domains. Lawley said Swift’s team has already purchased TaylorSwift.porn and TaylorSwift.adult. Smart move, Taylor!

 After a very public split from singer and, now ex-boyfriend, Chris Brown on Twitter after finding out he was a father of a nine-month-old secret daughter, we could forgive her for being down in the dumps.

In her very public break-up, Tran tweeted , ‘Best of luck to Chris and his family. No baby drama for me.’  And no baby drama was had for the model post break-up.

The model wasted no time in celebrating her newly single status the best way she knows how-a girls’ vacay with BFF Christina Milian at the beach resort of Cancun, Mexico, duh!

The 26-year-old Vietnamese beauty wasted no time in posting snaps on Instagram showing what a good time she was having as well as flaunting her beautiful bikini-bod while soaking up the sun.

You would think that the drama ended after the break-up, but, like us, you would be wrong.

Karrueche Instagrammed this snap of herself on the beach, captioning the pic, “I’m president of the Itty Bitty Comittee #ThirstyTuesday”.

The extremely sexy pic seemed to impress all her fans and followers, except, of course, for a one Mr. Chris Brown who took to writing a comment on the picture:

Whoa! We’re sure there will be more to come from Breezy, so stay tuned

With Instagram now topping over 300 million users worldwide, there has never been a better time for artists, artisans and designers to harness the power of the hashtag and create global brand awareness. We looked to some of our favourite Instagram gurus to get the low-down on how we can all get a piece of that Insta pie.

Melissa Dunn, a partner at Jennifer Bett Communications and the brains behind Brooklyn-based label Brother Vellies’ social media strategy.

‘Ultimately, if you are aiming to grow your business, it has to be the product you are selling and pushing. While I think the designer’s story and mission is a big draw for a lot of brands, your story will not be sitting on the shelf alongside your goods. So, while the story might have great appeal I believe that to really grow a brand the support has to be for the product!

Social media has been a great enabler for creatives. It’s refreshing to be able to put something out there so easily on a platform that can reach millions of people. The trick really becomes monetizing your social media following – ask is that possible? And are your followers really going to develop into your regular customer base? We have made some great relationships through social media, particularly internationally. Social media is also helpful to drive our customers to our local retailers as well. I can post about Merchants on Long and all of our SA followers will be able to shop locally. Prior to social media it was harder to get that information out.

My top five tips:

1. Post high quality photos, nobody likes a blurry image…

2. Inject your personality.

3. Everyone loves a real-time update.

4. Art direction! Remember that everything you put is a reflection of your brand.

5. Don’t drown yourself in hashtags.

Yes, hashtags are everything. But more than two is too many. I’m a quality over quantity person when it comes to social media. I’d rather have 200 likes on a photo of someone wearing our shoes because the people loved the shoes, than 400 likes on the photo because I hashtagged the name of the celebrity wearing them. But that’s just me. And I know there are a lot of people that think differently on that topic!

Tatiana Etienne, artist and design entrepreneur

“Social media is a proper art in itself, the art of seducing while selling a concept. But, be consistent. Don’t make it about you, there are enough selfies out there. Have a theme and a colour code for your Instagram profile and stick to it. Make it not only inspiring, but also aspiring and follow the right people. Since the very beginning my social media has been intriguing many. No one could really tell what I was promoting, but I was getting constant compliments on the aesthetic of my account. I get daily emails with the magic question “who are you?” This usually makes me smile, as I never answer. My work is not about me, but my art.”

Earlier this year, Ashton Kutcher posted a photo on his Facebook signed ‘The Kutchers’, leaving the internet to have a meltdown speculating about whether or not Ashton and Mila secretly tied the knot.

The world has an answer as Mila Kunis FINALLY seemed to admit that she and Ashton are indeed married.

The mother of one, recently made an appearance on James Corden’s new chat show, the Late Late Show. On the show James was persistent on getting the truth out of the 31-year-old actress but was repetitively met with a ‘maybe’ answer. ‘Either you’re married or you’re not,’ the host argued, only to be met with another, ‘Maybe.’

Not giving up, James demanded that Mila show her wedding ring finger which indeed had a ring on it, and had the host proudly declare, ‘They are married, look!’

Although she gave no verbal YES, she gave no verbal NO eithe. We’re thinking that we’ll take her ‘maybe’ as a tacit YES! That and the fact that she bared a wedding band, of course!

Last week Vin Diesel and long-time girlfriend, Paloma Jimenez, welcomed their third child together. The actor has revealed that his daughter’s name is a tribute to his late friend and “Fast and Furious’ co-star, Paul Walker.

“I named her Pauline”, Diesel revealed in an interview on the Today show.

“He was in the room,” Diesel told anchor, Natalie Morales. “There’s no other person that I was thinking about as I was cutting this umbilical cord. I just … knew he was there… It felt like, you know, a way to keep his memory a part of my family and a part of my world.”

“I feel feminine, and grounded in the choices I am making for myself and my family”

This morning news broke that Angelina Jolie took precautionary measures when she underwent preventative surgery to remove her ovaries and fallopian tubes, two years after she had a double mastectomy. “I lost my mother, grandmother and aunt to cancer. I wanted other women at risk to know about the options,” the mother of six explained.

The Hollywood actress and U.N. Goodwill ambassador who wrote about it in the NY Times explained that she made the tough decision because she carries a mutation in the BRAC1 gene that gave her a 50% higher risk of suffering from ovarian cancer.

“It is not easy to make these decisions,” she said. “But it is possible to take control and tackle head-on any health issue.”

The procedure is one that forces women into menopause and Jolie, 39, will now be taking hormone replacements.  She explains, “Regardless of the hormone replacements I’m taking, I am now in menopause. I will not be able to have any more children, and I expect some physical changes. But I feel at ease with whatever will come, not because I am strong but because this is a part of life. It is nothing to be feared”

The actress, who wrote about her decision to have a double mastectomy after finding out that she carried the gene mutation two years ago, explained that she wants to help provide information to women who have or are going through similar experiences.

“It is not easy to make these decisions. But it is possible to take control and tackle head-on any health issue. You can seek advice, learn about the options and make choices that are right for you. Knowledge is power,” she said.

According to Cape Town Lately, Madonna and Katy Perry will be gracing South Africa with their presence and are set to perform at the Cape Town Stadium in Green Point later on this year

According to sources, it is said that a few more arrangements and confirmations need to made before an official statement can be released.

It is known that Madonna is planning a global tour in celebration of her career and that Cape Town and JHB are set to be on the list of destinations for the tour.

Katy Perry has been on the rise since the start of her career in 2000 and is set to start her Asian tour in April and May this year but it is said that she is set (and very keen!) to visit SA right after.

If this is true, then we are already saying no to that pair of shoes we have been eyeing and saving up for our tickets!

Yesterday we announced that Angelina Jolie made the brave decision to have her ovaries and Fallopian tubes removed merely two years after her double mastectomy in a courageous attempt to prevent the onset of cancer.

On The Talk, the TV star revealed that she too has the ‘cancer gene’ and will be following in Jolie’s brave footsteps and plans on taking the preventative surgery route as well.

While neither Kelly nor her mother, Sharon have suffered ovarian or breast cancer before, in 2002 Sharon was in fact diagnosed with colon cancer; undergoing two surgeries, Sharon successfully fought the disease.

After her recovery it was revealed that, like Jolie, Sharon underwent genetic testing which revealed that she carried the BRCA1 gene-it was then that Sharon made the decision to undergo a double mastectomy.

Since the gene is carried through the maternal genes, it is for this reason that Kelly has opted to take the preventative surgery route eventually.

2016 will mark the 20^th anniversary since the release of their breakthrough hit ‘Wannabe’ back in 1996.

Last year Emma Bunton, or more favourably known as Baby Spice, made headlines last year when she suggested that no reunion was “in the pipeline” at the time however, she seemed to be far more optimistic this week when she was quoted as saying that she “was with Gerri and Mel B just recently, we love eachother and love performing together.

It’s just when the timing is right because we all have our own careers now and we have families, it’s just about getting five schedules together and that’s all it is.”

Exactly, Baby, that IS all it is! We’re pretty confident that organising five schedules is easy breezy for the biggest girl band in the history of girl bands who not only toured the world, made a movie, sang and danced in platform shoes as high as the Eiffel Tower but whose debut album SPICE sold more than 30 million copies world wide, becoming the best-selling album by a female group in music history.

Better than a Spice Girls reunion? The possibility of never-before-released Spice Girls tracks made officially available-oh, be still our beating hearts!

Yip, Baby Spice may be trying to stay mum on that rumour but if less is more, then Baby told us what our hearts most desire when she commented on the reports of the never-before-heard tracks, saying, “I have heard about that, yes, but I can’t really talk about those.”

Ok ladies, if this is real, not only should you ‘Wannabe’ there and ‘Say you’ll be there’ but you better get ready to ‘Spice up your life’ like never before!

Viva (Spice Girls) Forever!

In case you forgot how much these girl mean to our lives, here’s the best reminder, ever-Spice Girls, we WANNABE you!

Last night One Directions Zayn Malik broke the internet when he announced he was leaving boy band, One Direction, for good whilst the rest of the 1D band members were on their Asian leg of their tour.

The only engaged member of the band declared last week that he was leaving the Asian leg of the tour due to ‘stress’ as he jetted back to England after the onset of tabloid speculation that he was cheating on fiancée Perrie Edwards.

It’s been reported that Zayn and Perrie have not left eachother’s side since the 22-year-old returned home, last week.

It is reported that although Zayn’s statement reflected his true feelings and he is really taking some time off ‘to be a normal 22-year old who is able to relax and have some private time out of the spotlight”, the real reason he left the band was so that he could eventually go solo after his time off. It has also recently been revealed that Zayn’s exit has been discussed for a while now, but that it was planned to take place after their world tour. So this came as shock to the rest of the band as much as it was a shock to the fans.

Harry was seen crying on stage during their performance last night and Lois put his arm around an imaginary Zayn as Liam comforted an emotional Harry.

After the show, Harry and Liam were the first band members to take to twitter commenting on Zayn’s decision, tweeting:

Zayn loves his music and he hopes for a more low-key future; being in the band, it’s reported, just became too much for the ‘Steal your girl’ heart throb.

Rumour has it that Harry is the next member of the boy band to be planning to go solo, however, a spokesperson for the band has slammed this rumour and claimed it as untrue. Let’s hope it is false, we don’t know if our hearts can handle any more heartache.

UPDATE: Zayn CONFIRMS his plan was to go solo.

Opening up in an interview with The Sun a mere 6 hours after saying he wanted to be “out of the spotlight”, the 22-year-old Brit confirmed his plans to “be myself for a bit. Write and relax and chill.”

Zayn was seen hitting the recording studio in London the very next day after his announcement of leaving One Direction, with reports that the singer’s first solo hit is already in the works with chart topping producer, Naughty Boy.

Initially, Zayn had claimed that he wanted to spend some time ‘being normal’ but he later revealed that he in fact stayed with the band for the fans, ‘You know, I did try to do something that I wasn’t happy doing for a while, for the sake of maybe other people’s happiness. And that was mainly the fans.’

Stay tuned for more One Direction updates. In the meantime, we can’t wait to see the boys perform in SA this weekend!

We would sing Happy Birthday to Mariah Carey, but considering she quite literally has one of the best and strongest voices in the history of the world, we would be dismally put to shame. Son instead, we’ll just wish send her the best birthday wishes!

The fabulous pop diva turns 45 today, and the mother of two has never looked better!

Our favourite songstress has commanded the Billboard charts like no other soloist; she has had 18 number one songs on the billboard charts, second only to the Beatles’ 20.

To celebrate, we’ve compiled our 10 favourite Mariah Carey songs, Happy Birthday Mimi!

1. Someday (1990)

2. Vision of Love

3. Dream Lover

4.Hero

5.Always be my baby

6. Without You

7. When you believe. Ft Whitney Houston

8. Endless Love ft. Luther Vandross

9. Heartbreaker

10. Obsessed

11. Touch My body

12. We belong together

Sometimes, it gets a bit crazy trying to keep up with not only the Kardashians, but all the rich and famous peeps who don’t have their own reality shows.

So, in case you missed out, here are the biggest moments from this week:

TYRA BANKS GOT A SUPER SHORT AND SEXY PIXIE CUT

The woman who introduced us to the concept of smizing, and who was never afraid to express her love for her weaves, took to twitter and Instagram to share her brand new hair-minus the weave.

JOURDAN DUNN  LAUNCHES A CLOTHING LINE

The model is set to launch her own clothing line for “children and young adults”. Her agency, Storm Model Management, confirmed the licensing deal between Dunn and Fluid World, in which the model will be releasing a minimum of two collections-for now.

“I love kid’s clothes and have been obsessed with them ever since my son was born,” Dunn explained. “Through my career in fashion I have come to love and respect great design, and as a mum I also expect great quality and value for money, as well as the coolest clothes for my son, Riley. I am thrilled to be working with Fluid World, and I am  looking forward to developing my own

JUSTIN BIEBER HAS A NEW ADDITION TO HIS FAMILY

Justin Bieber was famously embroiled in controversy when he shared photos alongside his new pet Capuchin monkey, Mally in 2013. And now, two years later, the ‘Baby’ hitmaker has adopted another furry friend, Esther, a Yorkshire terrier. The troubled star took to Instagram during the week to debut his adorable new friend

TAYLOR SWIFT VS PRINCETON

Oops-this is one for all those grammar Nazi’s out there!

This week it emerged that in a Princeton Review test paper (which helps US students prepare for college admission tests), a section headers “Grammar in Real Life” told students: “Pop lyrics are a great source of bad grammar. See if you can find the error in each of the following.”

Tay-Tay’s song Fifteen was then cited as encompassing the line: “Somebody tells you they love you, you got to believe ‘em”.

It wasn’t long, of course, before a fan of the ‘Blank Space’ hit maker took to her social media saying, “I was just having an amazing tome studying for the SAT and now I feel attacked”. In true Taylor style, the 25-year-old singer responded on the Tumblr, “Not the right lyrics at all pssshhhh. You had one job, test people. One job!”

If you’re not a Taylor Swift fan (gasp!) the actual line in the song is “Somebody tells you they love you, you’re gonna believe them”

The Princeton Review then quickly tweeted, “We own up the lyric fail” BUT they went on to claim that the accurate lyric is still grammatically wrong, on the grounds that “somebody” can’t later be referred to as “them”. Publisher Rob Franek raged: “If we look at the whole sentence, it starts off with ‘somebody,’ and ‘somebody,’ as you know, is a singular pronoun and if it’s singular, the rest of the sentence has to be singular.”

Oh, Princeton Review. It seems that neither humility nor grammar are your strengths now…

J.K. ROWLING WINS AT LIFE, AGAIN

As we all know, J.K. Rowling is pretty great when it comes to replying to fans’ questions about Harry Potter. This week, a Harry Potter fan took to twitter saying she didn’t see Albus Sumbledore as gay, naturally J.K. Rowling gave the perfect response

#LikeABoss

TAYLOR SWIFT HAS A DOPPLEGANGER

have you seen her? Worse, did you think it was the real Miss Swift and taken a selfie with the fake Tay-Tay?

Our favourite red lipstick star was browsing Tumblr ( as per usual) when she stumbled across a series of BFF selfies posted by a fan, Kasey.

Taylor herself admitted that she did a double take when she saw the post, captioned “when your best friend looks like Taylor Swift and you have to take 100 selfies”

Charasmatically, the ‘Style’ singer re-blogged the pics and responded, saying, “LOL thought that was me.”

T. Swifts doppelganger’s name is Morgen Jensen and her response to Taylor is pretty amazing

“Taylor is everything and the fact that she saw my face and thought it looked like hers – I died!” she said. “I’m as tall and lanky as she is. Before her concert in Nashville in 2013 people lined up for photos with me for two hours!

KIM, KANYE AND NORTH WEST  KAN PHOTOBOMB

Earlier this week, while eating at Nobu, one of Hollywood’s favourite A-list Japanese restuarants, Hollywood’s most famous couple photobombed one of UK’s richest society heiresses-Alice Bamford.

LADY GAGA’S DOG IS ON INSTAGRAM

Asia Kinney, Lady Gag’s French Bulldog, has had an exciting year. First, her parents, Lady Gaga and Taylor Kinney got engaged, but now the pup will be the star of her own show, as she joins Instagram.

Like her mama, the pooch clearly likes the royal treatment, much like her mama, as she poses with tiara’s and turbans. The doggy’s account already has over 17 000 followers and counting.

ED SHEERAN CRASHED A WEDDING AND BECOMES THE PERFECT WEDDING SINGER

Ed Sheeran made like Maroon 5 in their ‘Sugar’ video as he crashes a couples’ wedding and sings his hit, Thinking Out Loud for their first dance.

After hearing on an Aussie radio station that they would be dancing their first dance to ‘Thinking Out Loud’ on their special day, he decided to surprise them and perform live for them

Last night, 29 March, celebrated the crowning of our new Miss South Africa, Liesl Laurie.

The prestigious event was held at the Sun City Super Bowl and the star-studded event was broadcast live on television, with the judging panel consisting of: actress Sophie Ndaba, editor and poet Kojo Baffoe, Annaline Kriel, and Bloemfonrtein designer Casper Bosman. Bonang was set to be part of the panel but had to step down at the last minute due to a clash in her itinerary.

The event itself saw the 12 finalists battle it out, with Liesl Laurie taking the crown title of this year’s Miss SA. The runners-up are Refilwe Mthimunye from Bronkhorstspruit (1st Princess) and Ntsiki Mkhize from Kliprivier, Midvaal (2nd Princess).

The glittering ceremony saw a radiant and overwhelmed Liesl Laurie accept her crown and make her acceptance speech, where she said: “I am ready for the responsibility that has been placed on my shoulders. Taking on the title of Miss South Africa, I look forward to exploring our beautiful country, to see its beautiful landscape but most importantly to connect with its people.  I am proud to stand here as an ambassador of South Africa and my fellow South Africans.

“My legacy would be to be a Miss South Africa for South Africans, for the people. I want every person to see a little bit of themselves in me. Being an inspiration and a beacon of hope is what I strive for. I want each person to look at me and remember that one can be as great as you want to be. If you believe in yourself and have the courage, the determination and the dedication you can achieve anything.”

She also thanked her mentor Tatum Keshwar for her input and advice.

This was the first year that Miss SA instilled a mentorship programme for the contestants, with the mentors being previous reigning Miss SAs.

As Miss South Africa 2015 LIesl has won cash, a car and products valued at nearly R2 million. Included in this package, sponsor Cell C is giving the winner access to R200 000 to spend on random acts of kindness which we know she will spend wisely.

1. She is 24
2. Resides from Eldorado Park in Johannesburg
3. She graduated with a B. Com General Degree from the University of Johannesburg (Soweto Campus)
4. After graduating she decided to take a year off to pursue a full time modelling career and also to take time and give back to her community. “I have been working with a number of non-profit organisations that include Babies Behind Bars and Pilgrim Oasis Community Children’s Outreach in Eldorado Park and adjacent informal settlement in Kliptown.”

10. Her message to young girls is: “It’s not where you come from but where you are going and never let any situation or encounters define who you are. You are more than your struggle and more than your tragedy. You can be and do anything if you believe in yourself. Don’t ever lose the little girl you are or once were as you grow up. Dreaming makes life beautiful and one day fulfilling your dreams will make life worth it. Finally, never forget to thank God for your blessings. Believe in yourself. Be yourself!”
