Kayla Mugweru - Top Ten

People's Choice Award

1. What kind of BARBIE do you think you’d be?
My favorite food is most definitely chicken Alfredo with extra Alfredo sauce and a side of seasoned green beans. It never gets old! Almost every time I’m at an Italian restaurant for the past 17 years of my life, I order this classic go-to meal.

2. What’s the weirdest item you keep by your bed?
My perfect date would be one filled with adventure and excitement! Something that’ll make sure the conversation keeps flowing and you’re able to learn about each other. Going to an amusement park, carnival, thrifting, or bowling are great ways to pick someone else’s brain and let loose in a relaxed and fun environment.

3. What cartoon character do you relate to the most and why?
One of my absolute favorite things to do is trying new restaurants. I love going to Sunday brunch with my mom and sister as well as having dinner with my girlfriends. This hobby of mine was passed down to me by my mom, now everyone I know always asks me for restaurant recommendations.

4. Would you time travel to the past or future?
Yesterday! What can I say? I'm a shopaholic. I went to Nordstrom to find the perfect necklace for my prom dress. Luckily, after a tiresome search I saw it, the necklace, the perfect shade of aquamarine in a pendant to match my dress.

5. How would your parents describe your personality?
Absolutely! Makeup is a form of art like any other, with makeup you are able to express yourself and enhance your natural features. Makeup is also a great resource to help boost someone's self esteem and confidence.
