Jessica Seinfeld made a toast. She turned to the assembled guests. ‘And you are all so lucky to be part of Gwyneth’s world. Because this is the real deal. And she’s invited all of you good people in here. I would never do that.’
The simpler things are, the happier they are.
I don’t eat four-legged animals, but I eat birds, I eat cheese, I eat dessert. I eat everything.
I eat whatever I want. I like bread and cheese and wine, and that makes my life fun and enjoyable.
My actual beauty routine is pretty simple, I try and have a facial once in a while. I’m not a huge products girl. I have so much going on with work and kids, I just use moisturiser basically.
I love film. After a yummy meal for the whole family and some truly great friends, we often go out to see something beautiful and unique.
During the strict macrobiotic chapter of my life, I ate miso soup every day for breakfast and sometimes with dinner as well.
I really like where Tony Robbins says that we’re all hypnotized to see beauty this one specific way, and it’s true.
I don’t have time to devote to putting outfits together before picking up the kids. I’m a creature of habit and in that way, I tend to just go towards what works for me and what’s comfortable. It’s really important to be comfortable when you’re running around after kids.
Could I use some butter and cheese and eggs in my cooking without going down some kind of hippie shame spiral? Yes. Of course I could.
After I had the kids, I took a break from work, and all my creativity went into my kitchen. I like experimenting.
The older I get, the more open-minded I get, the less judgmental I get.
I think my days of trying outrageous things are over. I’m not looking for trends, I just want to be the best version of myself.
I love being. There’s so much wisdom in it. You wake up in the morning and you think, Hey, isn’t it great just being?
Sometimes when things you love get really commercial, you end up feeling betrayed by it.
I have a very highly developed sense of denial.
When I had kids I sort of went into a hole for a few years and I think when I came out of that, I started to really become myself and know what works on me.
I’m hard on myself, so I’m working on shifting perspective toward self-acceptance, with all my flaws and weaknesses.
My life is good because I am not passive about it. I invest in what is real. Like real people, to do real things, for the real me.
It’s a waste of time for people to say things they think other people want to hear, or try and come off in a certain way. I try to be as honest as I can.
