Q&A
What’s your approach to a well-balanced diet?
I eat a vegetarian diet, so my approach is to eat a diet rich in fruit and vegetables some fish and as little processed foods as possible. But I don’t restrain myself if I feel like eating pasta or pizza I’ll have it. I love pasta I just don’t have to every day.
Life motto?
To find a balance in everything.
What does your average day look like?
Any day whether I have a photoshoot or have the day off, I prioritise my mornings. Mornings are important to me, I take the time to wake up, feed my cat, eat my breakfast and drink my cup of coffee in peace. It sets the tone of the day for me. After that I usually get on with the day by going to work and be on set for the rest of the day till its usually dark out. Once I get home I either cook something or if I am feeling lazy order myself some pasta . The days I am off, I usually go work out in the morning, meet my girlfriends, go to the beach, or spend time with my family.
How would you describe your lifestyle?
Due to my work, it can be very hectic sometimes as it includes a lot of travelling, so it can get a little crazy sometimes. But there are also a lot of days that are less hectic. But throughout everything, I always strive for a balanced lifestyle.
What inspires you at the moment?
Friends and family always.
What do you love the most about the LIVE! brand?
The quality of the garments is fantastic; after working out a couple of times and washing them, they still fit and look just as new. No colour fading or thinning out . The designs are great I love the colours, especially of the blue one I got it also has a slight shimmer to it which I love. In addition to that I love your sustainability initiative of planting a tree in the amazon forest per online purchase. More companies should take initiative to protect and keep our environment safe.
Why did you pick those LIVE! Outfits?
The colour spoke to me I love the blue and how the leggings fit. The same goes for the brown it’s a very pretty colour, and I love that they are seamless, almost feels like a second skin.
What’s your favourite LIVE! Product feature?
I love the little pocket on my brown shorts, its perfect for running outside it fits my keys and credit card. No need to bring an extra bag.
How do you like to unwind after a busy day of work?
I love to just sit on my terrace and watch the sunset. Miami has some of the most beautiful sunsets. The sky illuminates in the most beautiful colours. It’s so pretty. Its very calming and grounding to watch it . It’s like the saying “Stop and smell the roses, “ but here it’s “Stop and watch the sunset “. It just takes a moment to appreciate what nature offers, and I love its effect on me.
