Is the first day of school a big fashion day? Yes, [it’s] important—your teachers and friends want to see you in your best outfit.

Nail style: When I go on vacation to Walt Disney World, I like to paint my nails with characters like Minnie and Mickey Mouse. And when I’m not on vacation, I like to use a different color on each finger. And I love getting a pedicure!
