Renata Gabriela De Leon Marin
I know, I know: it’s a very long name. But what can I say? I’m Hispanic, and that’s how we do it back home: you use a first name, middle name, father’s last name and mother’s last name. My friends call me Nati or Rena.
23
I’m 23 years old, born in October 10 of 1994. Makes me nervous to think I’m close to reaching that quarter of century age!
5418 W Kedge Ave
Santa Ana, CA 92704
Well, I’m a full-breed Colombian living in the United States. I was born in Bogota back in 1994, and I lived there until I graduated high school at seventeen. When I got accepted at Stanford back in 2012, my father decided to relocate the whole family, so then we lived in San Jose. Eventually, as a college graduation gift, I got to to pick my own place as long as I stayed in the state. So now I live in Santa Ana, in a delightful little place I call home. Yay!
Hey! This is Marina, Renata’s cousin. She asked me to fill out this part of the application, so here goes!
Well, let me start out by saying my cousin is fucking gorgeous! Like, have you seen that woman? She’s a 10/10. Anyway, Renata has always been a social person. Like, ALL her life. Even in school, she was the one girl that everyone liked in the class. She’s always, like, really sweet and friendly, so she, like, has a way to make people feel comfortable around her. When she walks into a room, you can totally see the air of confidence she brings in with her. That confidence can be seen as admirable or -if you’re one of those jealous little bitches- arrogant depending on your point of view. Whatever the case, you can’t deny Renata will catch everyone’s eye. Nati’s also got a very eloquent and clear way of expressing herself, so you can thinks she’s, like, really serious and uptight. But, really, she has a quick sense of humor, enjoys to have fun, live life and meet new people.
Now, for all the guys out there: here’s the scoop on my Rena! Around men she’s interested in, Nati can be very flirtatious… But that’s as far as it goes, my friends! She’s not the type to sleep around, and she doesn’t plan to start anytime soon. As a matter of fact, Renata’s a virgin, and plans to keep it that way until finding ‘the one’. As a lover, i can tell you my cousin’s passionate, intense, but very sweet, caring and loving... But, so far, there hasn’t been a man that has been deemed worthy of uncovering this side of her. Hopefully one of you will step up to the challenge to change that! ;)
However, my homegirl isn’t without her faults. Nati can often be, like, very judgmental. To her, first impressions mean the world, so you better hope to God you don’t screw up that first chance. She's also very stubborn. Like, VERY stubborn. Once she makes up her mind on something you can be sure Nati will stop at nothing to get it, even if it is at other people’s cost. Like, once I remember what happened to that girl who tried to run against her for Queen of Hearts back in middle school… It wasn’t pleasant. But ANYWAY! Even though she’s patient, Nati gets pretty impulsive when driven to the edge. Like, she can resort to saying hurtful things in order to defend herself against being hurt, even if she doesn’t really mean them. Another thing is that Rena can be perceived as snobby and snotty because of the importance she gives to her appearance and the way she expresses herself, but I swear that she really is a sweetheart once you give her the chance. 
Fun fact: I’m actually a YouTuber! It’s more of a job now than a hobby, but whatever… My vlog channel’s Life of Rena, but my main channel is RenaBeauty. As you can imagine, RenaBeauty is all about makeup AKA my life’s addiction. I do the usual tutorials, get ready with me’s, product reviews, unboxings… But once a week, I put out some other types of videos, like Q&A’s, story times, and the like. I’m happy to say I hit the 750,000 subscriber mark on RenaBeauty last week, while I’m near 600,000 in Life of Rena.
Apart from that, I really enjoy taking jogs on the beachside, discovering new restaurants around town, reading some of those really good but really sappy romance novels, going shopping (duh!), grabbing some coffee at the little cafe near my house and going out with my friends!
Men
I’m all about the men. Have you seen those beautiful creatures?! They might be a headache, but they’re a delight in their own special way.
I’m lucky enough to say I’ve pretty much achieved most of my dreams! I’ve got a career, a university degree, a house to call my own... However, there are still some things I yearn for, like making an impact on more people’s lives through my videos. I want to use my platforms to make a difference, such as promoting healthy lifestyles, empowering women to feel beautiful in their own skin, creating conscience about the lives and struggles of immigrants in the United States and the like. In a more personal note, I would love to find a partner to share my life with, go on adventures around the world, eventually have children… The typical real-life fairy tale!
I’m mainly joining because I thought it would be a good way to boost up activity in my channels while doing something that’s out of the box. That and the prospect of meeting a potential partner aboard a luxurious cruise was also a very inviting one! I haven’t dated since like FOREVER ago; my last relationship was when I was in high school. So, who knows? Maybe this is the place I meet Prince Charming. If not, hey, that’s okay too! I’m coming into this with an open mind.
Well, I’m really into shopping, makeup, visiting the beauty salon and collecting perfumes. I freaking LOVE selfies, and I live for margaritas! The beach is my happy place, as is listening to pop music in both English and Spanish. I also have this obsession with the smell of coconuts, so you bet I have coconut everything!
When it comes to stuff I don’t like, I really hate olives. Like, who made such an abomination! Then there’s that disgusting stink of cigarette smoke- or any kind of smoke, really! I don’t understand how people find it cool to be poisoning their bodies with tobacco or other substances… Yuck! And people who stink and are unkempt? Double YUCK! And the last thing: country and hard rock? Pass!
