repleta de charme despreocupado OR relaxado
http://www.wsu.edu/~brians/errors/chalkfull.html
Originally a person or thing stuffed to the point of choking was “choke-full.” In modern speech this expression has become “chock-full,” or in less formal American English, “chuck-full.” Chalk has nothing to do with it
Definição de Full full to the brim = lleno hasta el borde, repleto hasta el borde, rebosante ..... buxom, capacity, chock-full, choked, choked up, chubby, chuck-full, chunky, ...
