My name is Genie, well technically. My real name is Caratpetr. What a long weird name right? Well that's because it's Thai, but everyone just calls me Genie. I'm Thai, Chinese, and Portuguese. I love being multicultural because it really allows me to see the world through many lenses not just one. Because of this I love to travel. I hope to be able to visit every single continent by the time I'm 25 years old. So far I have down North America, Europe, Australia, and Asia. I love picking up on new ideas from places I have traveled - such as hairstyles and recipes. I really try to incorporate worldly attributes into my style. I never limit myself and am always looking for a new way to wear a pair of vintage jeans or putting together bold colors that seem to be complete opposites. In addition to traveling, I also have a passion for dancing. I have been dancing since I was 3. At first I hated it. I would cry and refuse to go to classes, but around the time I was 10 something clicked and I have loved dance from then on. My favorite styles are ballet and lyrical. Dancing is the main reason why I know how to style my hair and do my makeup. I am always curling my hair or trying new ponytails. With my makeup I love to play around with eye shadows. I have so much eye shadow it's unbelievable. However, because I have to put on makeup for dance recitals, I know that heavy makeup can really take a toll on my skin. I am always making sure that my skin is hydrated and exfoliated. Lotion and sunscreen are super important for fresh looking skin. This is why I believe I should be the Rite Aid Glam Camp Model. I am constantly updating my style and taking care of not only my skin but my whole body in general. Beauty and health definitely go hand in hand.
