OHMYGOSSIP — Miss Earth Sweden 2012 Camilla Hansson is a very a beautiful and enterprising young woman. A person who highly values ​​health and family. A model who never remains unnoticed by anyone. “The most important thing is to feel passionate about your work and really truly enjoy what you do,” tells Camilla to Ohmygossip.com.

Please, tell us about yourself?

I grew up in Stockholm, the beautiful capital city of Sweden but I have lived in various countries since I was 18. Currently I am in Manila, Philippines competing in the Miss Earth pageant! It’s the first time I’m in Asia so that’s really exciting; the people here are so incredibly friendly and welcoming. Ever since becoming Miss Earth Sweden 2012 I have been very busy preparing for the final and I also currently work for a real estate company.
What would you like to be doing five years from now?

I would like to have my own successful business and be happily married. 

What are your long-term goals?

I am very interested in food and nutrition and I really want to set up a healthy food restaurant one day which is what I have been working on for the past year. It’s been slightly delayed because of my duties as Miss Earth and also because it’s proving very difficult to secure a shop when you’re new in business but I will get there in the end! It’s also important for me to be a good role model for young women, and I would like to be more involved in charity work as I find it rewarding and I think it’s really important to give back.
How are you preparing yourself to achieve them?

I am trying to see the end goal very clearly in my mind and never lose sight of that no matter what happens. And take small daily steps to reach them, and try not to get too distracted by life in-between. I don’t even have a TV at home not to get distracted! One of my favorite expressions are “You can eat an elephant if you do it one bit at the time”.
What are the most important rewards you expect in your career?

The most important thing is to feel passionate about your work and really truly enjoy what you do. The worst thing for me would be to have a 9-6 job which I don’t enjoy and going to work having the same routine every day. I think work is where you need to grow and challenge yourself and also get your confidence. I like working hard but it’s important that I work hard for something meaningful.
What motivates you?

Well, you only live once and I don’t want to look back with any regrets. People will always judge you by your work and I want people to respect me.
Who is your role model and why?

I only have a few, but I like Jessica Alba because I think she seems to be a strong, smart businesswoman/actress and she is also incredibly beautiful. I also like Ivanka Trump´s style because she is a successful business woman but at the same time she is also very feminine.
What do you do in your spare time?

I usually go travelling, go to the gym; I spend time with my family and friends. When I can, I like being in nature and I also like to just relax and just stay at home.

 Let´s talk about fashion, too. Please describe your style? What do you wear most?

I’m definitely a very girlie girl and therefore like to wear clothes that are very feminine and I usually go for a quite classic style. 

Who/what inspires your fashion?

To be honest I’m not very good with following fashion trends I just buy what I like and think looks good.
How long do you spend on your outfit each day?

It depends on what I’m doing, if I’m going for work then maybe 5 minutes. But I like feeling good in my clothes and looking presentable. Clothes do a lot on a woman’s appearance and it gives me confidence if I feel I look nice. 

Is there one piece in particular that you would say is your signature piece?

I guess it would be my dresses. I love dressing up, and I always wear dresses if I go out in the evenings.
What is your favorite accessory?

I rarely leave my house without earrings of some type.
What do you always carry with you?

My perfume, I love the Escada summer perfume. I think I’ve had the same one since I was like 15, I never change. It has become my signature.
What is your favorite fashion store/shop?

I like Harrods department store in London. 

Who is your favorite designer?

Hard to say.. Depends for what? I usually spend more money on shoes like Christian Louboutin and bags from various brands as I think it’s important that they are of good quality and then I can always find cute dresses and casual everyday clothes a bit cheaper and it will still look good if you match them with a good quality shoes and handbag.

Binangonan Elementary School visit

Hi Everyone sorry for not updating the blogg we have been so incredibly busy here our schedule is from 8am to 10pm and sometimes we work more hours than that and we very rarely get a break until its time to sleep so unfortunately I haven’t been able to update you guys. But we are doing some great things here I really enjoy the charity work and my favourite activity is when we visit the children in the schools because they are just so happy to see us and they are being so loving. The first school we visited we were all given the task to teach our own class for 15 minutes about the environment which was just amazing and the school put on a big parade for us when we arrived.

Tree planting

Today we went for a walk in the local park where we were all given mango tree plants which we were to give to one of the locals there. The purpose is for them to plant the tree themselves at home. The “Miss Earth walk” is also for the purpose to show the public that we should try to walk more instead of driving our cars all the time to help against pollution. I choose to give my plant to a little boy who was sitting with his family he looked so cute and happy when I gave it to him. There is so much media following us everywhere and where ever we go people are taking photos the only place where its quiet is in the hotel room.

Tomorrow morning we have all given the task to prepare a 15 minute lecture each on the enviroment for a class of school children. I am going to start working on mine tonight as we just got back to the hotel. Tomorrow morning we have to get up at 5am again.

Arrived in Philippines

After a very long flight of 20h I have finally arrived safely in the Philippines!

I had somewhat of an overweight luggage it weight 36kg and you’re only allowed to have 20kg on Singapore airlines. Ooops… But I explained the situation to them and said I was going for Miss Earth for 3 weeks and they were very kind and let me pay for only 5 kg overweight instead of 16! The people who know me know that I can’t really travel with 20kg just for a weekend never mind for 3 weeks!

My first impression of the Philippines is that the people are very friendly and genuine and they make you feel very welcome. People wanted to take photographs and have autographs already at the airport, after a 20h flight though I just wanted to go to the hotel and have a shower first!

The hotel is nice I must say, I am sharing a room with Miss Australia.

Tomorrow we don’t have anything on until a sponsor dinner 7pm so I might just relax by the pool or something. Its 32 degrees here 🙂

I don’t know yet how busy we will be during these 3 weeks here but I will write as often as I can!

Now I’m going to sleep and try to get my jetlag sorted. This is how the rooms look like.
