How do you get your hair so shiny?

I eat a lot of food with essential nutrients and fatty acids. For example coconut oil, avocados and I drink lemon with water every morning and every night. I also shampoo and condition it every day.

Where do you see yourself in five years?

Hopefully having a job pertaining to conservation and saving animals. Or I would love to have my own television show called Running with Rhona or Swimming with Sabatchi. I want to be the next Steve Irwin – but better. If it were Runing with Rhona I would basically be running with cheetahs, and if it were Swimming with Sabatchi I would essentially be swimming with turtles. I want to save all the endangered species and end the bush meat black market.

What is the bush meat black market?

Basically bush meat is when poachers get paid to kill any animal- including giraffes and rhinos- and sell it to people to eat. It’s also a livelihood for poachers so it’s very difficult to end. For a lot of poachers this is how they live and feed their families.

Did you see Fifty Shades of Grey?

No.

Why?

I refuse to watch it. It’s a porno.

What is your spirit animal?

Whatever the Beyoncé of animals is. That’s me. If I did have to pick one it would be a golden retriever puppy because I’m super loyal.

What is your favorite type of music?

Anything that’s not too crazy. I’d say depending on my mood, I just like music that feels good. I like music where people actually sing.

What is one of the craziest things you’ve ever done?

I would say swimming with sharks… or going to sleep at 6 pm. I would say it’s in the eye of the beholder. Oh wait no! My friend and I once bought water guns and drove around in her car and shot random people with it when they weren’t looking. They looked super confused and probably thought it was raining. 

What is your favorite clothing brand?

It’s not a clothing brand but we all know it’s the best brand ever. Midori Bikinis. If I could wear it all day forever I would. I would love to just work for them.

Just to get free swim suits?

Yeah. I just want the free suits.

Interesting. Last question. What is your normal bedtime?

I try to stay around the 9pm zone. On a good day 8 o’clock.  When I get crazy sometimes 10pm.
