    Kate, allow me to help you with your Spanish. The first part of your statement translated reads this way to Spanish speaking people: "I have a brown hair, short and curly. My eyes are (literally) honey and I'm carrying glasses." The correct way to communicate what you were trying to say would be: "Tengo pelo marron, corto, y rizado. Mis ojos son del color de miel y tengo gafas."

    Hehehe honey I don't know if you want to sound funny with your word "regordete" in this case must be "regordeta" because you are a woman. If you are saying "un pelo", this means that you just have one red hair lol, you must use "cabello" to refer to your entire hair. You can use also "utilizo" or "uso" instead "me llevo", because this means something like ... "I carry". "Mis ojos son miel" sounds good but to sound a bit formal specify with "ojos color miel" Tengo el cabello marrón, corto y rizado. Mis ojos son color miel y utilizo gafas. Soy alta y de complexión gruesa. ¡No tengo bigote o barba, porque soy una mujer!

    Hi sweetie~~ ^^ Thank you for your letter and your useful present! =) I'll reply soon! =P En cuanto al texto, se entiende muy bien ^^ Sólo una pequeña corrección que parece que no te han hecho! : En vez de "barba o bigote" sería mejor "barba ni bigote" porque se trata de una negación ^^ Supongo que lo tuyo también está bien, pero así suena mejor ^-^ Besitos, ¡hasta pronto! ^^

    tienes el pelo marron, no un pelo, y tus ojos son color miel, no solo miel, llevas gafas, no se dice me llevo gafas, eres alta y regordeta, pues eres una mujer, regordete es para el genero masculino, pero en español de latinoamerica no se usa mucho esta palabra, podrias decir soy gordita es mas popular, fuera de eso esta todo muy bien, te felicito.
