Quotes by Christine and the Queens

Fashion is a way to transform yourself. By choosing your own silhouette and shape, you can constantly change who you are.

Quotes by Christina Aguilera

I think they say that when you're breast feeding, you know, your weight kind of slims down. It's a little easier. It's like a workout within itself. It's very tiring actually and you find yourself snacking more often.
