Robyn Rihanna Fenty was born in the parish of St. Michael, Barbados, on February 18, 1988. Growing up, Rihanna led a relatively simple, average life on her island home. She attended Combermere, a kind of technical high school, and, despite having a natural singing talent, she didn't give much thought to performing -- aside from singing with her friends for fun.

First of all, Rihanna is from Barbados. She attended the Combermere School where she won her school's pageant in 2004.
Here are some facts about her which were extracted from the "Better Health Magazine" published in her hometown Barbados along with my own knowlege of her which is interspersed throughout this summary .
She maintains a rigorous fitness regime, takes care of her beautiful skin, and is not overwhelmed by the wide variety of calorie-based North American fast foods but eats local fruit and delicacies like flying fish (Bajan dish) whenever she can. She dines on Flying fish with macaronie pie and plantains, especially when at home in Stamford, Connecticut where she's based with her producer "Uncle Evan" and his Bajan wife "Auntie Jackie" Rogers.
For breakfast, she enjoys waffles with turkey bacon, and loves scrambled or boiled eggs "with plantains whenever I can find them" she told Better Health. For a snack, she has slices of mango and for lunch enjoys a bowl of fruit which gives her energy, and a sandwich; dinner ranges from pasta, fish and chicken to mashed potatoes.
"Visiting various countries has made her more adventurous, including trying sushi in Japan and in the USA. She also loves Martinellis apple juice and drinks lots of water," added Jackie.
With flawless complexion complimenting the well-toned body that did justice to a green Nefertari gown which she wore to the Inaugural Barbados Music Awards where she captured 8/10 Awards, It is obvious that the calisthenic workout of her dance rehearsals is also working. "I stay active by performing, dancing and rehearsing," Rihanna added, noting her love for pilates which is primarily focussed on increasing lung capacity and circulation through deep breathing. Rihanna also recently purchased an Ab Lounger, and when in Connecticut, she either runs for 45 minutes on the threadmill, rides an exercise bike, or jogs - sometimes with weights - which builds her endurance.
"When it comes to beauty, she has a very strict regime," Jackie added. "She never goes to bed without thoroughly cleansing her face." She uses MAC facial wipes at night to remove make-up followed by Clinique liquid facial cleanser. She then applies Clinique toning lotion followed by a light moisturiser and during the day, she maintains an enviable glow with "a moisturizer with an SPF of at least 15" to prevent drying of the skin.
B4 applying her make-up, she always applies MAC Prep and Prime, a foundation whose coverage has been described as "absolutely amazing, and doesn't feel like a ton of makeup (and gives the makeup a flawless finish". And on her body, Rihanna uses Clinique body butter; it's silky- rich and replenishing moisture causes even dryness-prone skin to feel soothed and comforted all day. Female fans should note that her body care routine includes the higly respected Olive body butter by the Body Shop, which one Barbadian beauty expert described as "a nice subtle fragrance, which provides lots of moistureand conditions your skin".
Rihanna's sleeping hours vary depending on her schedule, more often than not, she tends to catch up on her much needed rest during flights.
She also says she likes to go on those terror rides at Five Stars and other amusement parks because she loves to feeling she gets when her stomach seems as though it's in her mouth.
I couldn't find a link on line to which you could refer so I typed out all the important stuff for you twice cause I lost it the first time due to a connection failure and had to type it all over again so I hope you benefit from it.
