"Life is too short not to go after opportuntiies," she added.
Turning her attention back to her design, the Fil-Am beauty queen admitted to the tweaks she'd put into her design and asked her followers for feedback. "I would love to put into production for [my brand]."
In the comment section, fellow beauty queens Sheynnis Palacios and Katrina Dimaranan cheered on R'Bonney and thanked her for making them proud.
