The internationally renowned model has now gained over 4 million followers across her socials, she believes the secret to life is keeping things simple.

"When it comes to beauty and it's standards, I think the most important part of having such a following is to put it to good use. I hate seeing false beauty standards being promoted, which is unfortunately almost all we see when it comes to beauty nowadays."

Nadine is a personality with multiple ethnicities, and she believes that it's about taking the aspects of what makes you unique. "I have always embraced having exposure to both my Filipino and Emirati side and learning the traditions of both. I believe being mixed-race helps me to be sensitive to other people's cultures and understand that we don't all think the same way."

When asked what kind of standards she had been exposed to herself growing up, she replied stating:

"Growing up, I didn't aspire to a specific beauty standard, I loved seeing singers and celebrities who were also half Filipino. It was great to see that representation and success. It was also the same seeing Arabs succeeding, like Huda Kattan, both through her brand and herself, are such an inspiration to so many people."
