jobs . In fact , I just walked for Miami Swim Week 2021 and am preparing for New York Fashion Week !
On photoshoot days I will arrive to set around eight o ’ clock in the morning to get my hair and makeup done . We usually shoot through the afternoon . Usually , we will shoot a few different looks all in one day , so it can be a very long process . Sometimes , shoots or runway shows will require me to travel , but I spend most of my time in Miami and New York .
How do you prioritize your mental and physical well-being ?
I think mental and physical well-being are intertwined . If you are healthy , eating well , getting enough sleep , and staying hydrated , you will naturally feel better mentally because your body feels good . Taking time for yourself , putting energy into physical and mental wellness , and being proactive when it comes to your health are essential .
Juggling my job as a model and being a student was a challenge . Remote classes were beneficial for me in helping me stay on top of my classes while still being able to travel , attend shoots , and do runway shows . I could do my schoolwork and study around my work schedule , which was helpful . I recently graduated , which was such a big accomplishment for me !
How do you spend your night after work ?
I love to get dressed up and go out to a nice dinner or rooftop bar . My favorite restaurant is Intersect by Lexus in NYC . On nights when I stay home , I love to unwind and relax . I will take a hot bath , watch a movie , and have a glass of red wine . I will always include skincare in my nighttime ritual . Currently , I use Facegym . It is like cardio for my skin ! I also like to use a face mask before I go to sleep .
Where do you find sustainable clothing ?
I love thrift stores ! It ’ s a great way to find trendy , affordable clothes that support sustainability . I also tell everyone to check out Housing Works . They have a great Fashion for Action benefit event every year . This year ’ s event is taking place in November .
