"What are the beauty secrets you can't live without?
It's always important to curl your eyelashes. When you wake up and look tired, if you just curl your eyelashes and use mascara, it makes such a difference! That's one trick I always use!"

What's the one thing you want to do when the show's over?
"Eat! It's not that I don't eat, but I want to eat french fries. We always have to be bikini ready, and I'm always on a balanced diet, that's just the way I live. I grew up that way! I always try to eat organic, healthy, and fresh. But before the show I take it a little more extreme. I cut out all the sugar and carbs. So I admit, I'm really craving some french fries! But in this moment, my body's probably the healthiest it could get. I eat lots of veggies, I drink green juices, I eat avocados and celery... all those things."

Your son is now 21-months-old, what was it like recovering from pregnancy and getting back to work?
"It was tough! I mean, Adriana is back, and she had her son 7 months ago! It's amazing! We work really hard, we work out a lot. It's a litlte bit of genetics too, my mom came back after pregnancy really fast. But the job helps. It's our job to look this way, so we're given the time to go to the gym. We don't have regular jobs from 9 to 5, so we can never say we don't have time to go to the gym! We have to go."

What do you think about Kate Upton?
"I think she's great! She's very beautiful. She has a beautiful body, and I think it's great that she shows that it's possible... you don't have to be super skinny to be a high fashion model. I love that there is a model with curves like hers in high fashion. I'm really proud of her and of Vogue for using her in spreads!"
