I really enjoy taking public transportation. I actually feel sexiest most attractive after riding the metro rail transit or taking the jeep. I attribute to the sense of empowerment I get because I can move around by myself and I am independent when I commute. also, nothing beats having naturally wind-blown hair and a natural flush on the face because of walking or taking the stairs. my sense of beauty is tough, independent, take charge natural and low maintenance.
