Here’s a snippet of what we learned from the model-turned-actress.

Nature makes her feel at peace

She believes it’s important to take a moment for yourself
“There are things that are very supportive for me like mediation and yoga. They have been unbelievable tools. I find peace with them.”
She believes true happiness comes from within
“You have to know who you are and have to connect with that place within yourself that knows who you are, knows your essence.”
She believe scent is a power
“A smell is a powerful thing. Smell has the power to evoke memories. You can have a memory of 20 years ago from a smell.”
She believe’s in a mother’s special connection
“I remember my mum’s perfume. I hope that my kids remember my perfume. Maybe a mum’s scent is not something you can forget.”
