Shakira: 5 things I love about her...

The best moments of my life were celebrated with Shakira. Virtually, of course! After watching 'La Tortura' for the first time, I wanted to take up Latin dance and since then have had an amazing love of Zumba. I thought 'Waka Waka' was just going to be another World Cup song but only Shakira can make the World Cup such a celebration. That was the best day at work as all of us danced to the song throughout the morning. The sultry songstress recently gave birth to a beautiful baby boy Milan who helped score daddy Gerard Piqu's first goal after her birth. So cute! Shakira isn't 'just another singer'. She has never been afraid to experiment with a wide variety of musical styles and unlike many manufactured bands, she writes her own songs. 'Underneath Your Clothes' is still my favourite love song for its unforgettable, beautiful lyrics. In honour of her 36th birthday this month, here are 5 more reasons why I adore the Columbian musician: Her 'vir...
