Remember the proud moment when an Arab American won the title of ‘Miss USA’? This week, the Middle Eastern beauty speaks to Myfashdiary on Fashion, Beauty, Fitness and what advice she gives aspiring pageant contestants! Thank you Rima 🙂

Do you read fashion blogs?
I don’t read blogs online but I do read Vogue and Cosmopolitan Magazine fashion articles.

-Favorite fashion city? New York City, the SoHo district, especially during NY Fashion Week.

-What advice would you give aspiring pageant contestants?
have fun and always ALWAYS believe in yourself. You must arrive to your contest as the winner not the contestant.

 -You always look so great! what beauty secret do you swear by?
I believe being comfortable in your own skin and confident that you can always 

shine plays a big part. Also running and exercising, especially yoga, always 
keeps you feeling beautiful inside and out.

-How would you describe your style?
My style is very Jaclyn Kennedy with a touch of Marilyn Monroe and a topping of 
middle eastern beauty. 

-Fitness Regime: My diet consists of eating 3 meals a day to keep my metabolism up and workout 3 times a week. However I try to run 5 times a week for exercising reasons and running is also the time I have to myself where I can do my thinking and relaxation.
