Even I don’t wake up looking like Cindy Crawford.
I’ve always found that beauty and confidence are synonymous. If you feel confident, that’s what people see.
It’s not like your soul gets older. It gets wiser.
The face you have at age 25 is the face God gave you, but the face you have after 50 is the face you earned.
I think women see me on the cover of magazines and think I never have a pimple or bags under my eyes. You have to realize that’s after two hours of hair and makeup, plus retouching. Even I don’t wake up looking like Cindy Crawford.
Life is where you’re at. Whatever you’re doing is enough. You don’t need to do everything well all the time. When you live your life like that, it’s a huge relief.
Modeling is about illusion. It’s a fantasy world where models play various roles. By featuring extreme looks, magazines show women how to have fun with makeup and clothes, and to inspire them to experiment – just like we did when we were little girls.
I have cellulite. I admit it. But sometimes I just say, ‘Screw it, I am going to wear a bikini.’
I also turn to homeopathic remedies for the treatment of indigestion, travel sickness, insomnia and hay fever just to name a few. Homeopathy offers a safe, natural alternative that causes no side effects or drug interactions.
If people would treat themselves with the same kind of love they give to their friends, that would be such a great gift we could give ourselves.
Modern women – we’re very good at keeping ourselves busy. There are PTA meetings, exercising, bake sales at school. I like that my life is not the same every day.
But I try to steal other moments. Sometimes I get up very early in the morning and enjoy a quiet house and cup of tea before the craziness begins. Other times, I’ll take a quick walk on the beach. You can find peace in a few minutes.
Our family room, where we live, is about togetherness and ease. Nothing in my house is too formal. There are no coasters on tables; the kids can eat Popsicles on the couch if they want to. I let them ride these little cycles we got for them when they were 3 that have rubber wheels and no pedals.
I hated turning 40; the whole idea of it stank. But once I got through it, I was fine.
The body I had at 21, God gave me. The body I have at 31, is one I worked for.
I believe that at least 70 percent of parenting goes to the mother. In our house, I’m the one who knows about all the school stuff, helps with the homework, organizes the play dates, and remembers the birthday parties.
Watching your husband become a father is really sexy and wonderful.
When you are getting ready to become a mom, being in love with someone just isn’t enough. You need to think about whether he would be a good parent and raise your children with similar beliefs.
