Don’t be fooled though bythe tough exterior of both mom and daughter. "She's very girly, and I'm likethat too, and she has a lot of energy," she continued. "I never stop, and she'skind of the same, never gets tired."

Good thing as the mother ofAnja and son Noah, 2, never seems to sit still. Recently, the Victoria’s Secretmodel launched her own swim line. "Ále by Alessandra is likemy third child, as I have been working on it for quite [a while]," sheexplained. "Since I love spending my free time by the beach, it was natural forme to add swimwear to my brand, as I know how important it is to havecomfortable, chic, and functional swimwear when you are hanging out by thewater."

The Brazilian beauty whohas been with Jamie Mazur since 2008 also credits the other VS Angels like Adriana Lima for inspiration. "They're my coworkers, they're gorgeous andeveryone there has their own spotlight," she stated.

And for the swimsuitdesigner, her best lighting may be from a filter on Instagram. She said, "I wasone of the first models I think that had a website, and I had a camera with meall the time so my fans would see little parts of my life through my eyes, andI think social media is an extension of that."

Though she has fun postingfor her followers, she is most definitely over any naysayers and Internetbullies. "There are so many different opinions," she mentioned. "If I read and I don’t like it, I'm like,whatever…. You can't listen to what everybody says; you have to be yourself."
