FITNESSEver since I started working out, I’ve been asked by my sisters, friends and even strangers on the street what I do to keep in shape. After having 2 children and turning 40 (now 42), I get asked that same question even more. Fortunately for me, I discovered personal fitness trainer Radu Teordescu when I was 22. It was at that point that I realized I couldn’t just sit around and eat bagels if I wanted to be able to fit into the clothes for a shoot (and this was back in the 80s, when models were even allowed to be a – gasp! – size 6). I hooked up with Radu and I’ve made exercise a part of my life ever since! Radu and I did 2 exercise videos together in the 90s. They were great workouts that I still stand by today! My workouts look different now, but I still incorporate some of the basic ideas that I learned from Radu when I use my gym at home. Sometimes I'll also hike, do pilates, take a dance class, or jump on the trampoline with my kids. I find that mixing it up now works best for me and keeps me from getting bored. I usually try to do a more traditional workout twice a week – 30 minutes of walking on the treadmill on a steep incline (I hate running) and then going thru a weight routine to hit the major muscle groups: legs, bum, abs, back, chest, triceps, biceps and shoulders. Then I try to fit in 2 other “alternative” physical activities a week, like an hour long hike with a girlfriend. Lately I’ve also been experimenting with the PowerPlate, which is really different and definitely shakes things up a bit! |

BEAUTYMy dear friend and makeup artist Sonia Kashuk and I put together a book with everything every woman needs to know about doing their own makeup for real life. We took all that we both had learned from years in the fashion business and assembled our tips in a user friendly format – almost like a cookbook. Looking back on this book more than ten years after we first published it, I realize I wouldn't change a thing – I am still a firm believer in a Basic Face! |
