Hello I’m Yasmine Bencherif. My birthday is the 17th of February and in 2012 I’ll be celebrating my sweet sixteen. As an Aquarius I check my horoscope every morning, not out of superstition but for luck. I live in the lovely state of North Carolina in your average suburban town. My parents made the big move from France to America before getting married. French is my first language and when I was three I started to speak English as well. Though I have not technically lived in Paris, I consider the city to be my second home because most of my life has been spent traveling back and forth.
Lives with: My mother, father, and younger brother (13)
Likes: Swims, cooking and baking, chocolate covered strawberries (always!), runs, reckless nights, stay home nights, reading, dinners with friends, sleeping, unconventional guys, time with my family, making friends and meeting new people
Looks: My hair’s always messy or wavy. And I’m usually wearing at least one of my favorite rings along with a bracelet that was gifted to me.
