Ms. Namita Nayyar:
What exercises comprise your fitness regime or workout routine?
Ms. Daisy Lea:
My main form of exercise is ballet class, but I occasionally take mat Pilates & gymnastics. I go to a class 3 times a week.
Ms. Namita Nayyar:
Do you take some special diet or have a strict menu that you follow to remain healthy and physically fit?
Ms. Daisy Lea:
I try to eat whole, fresh foods, and I almost never eat at a restaurant. Even the most expensive, “healthy” restaurants use cooking oil & that’s unacceptable to me.
Ms. Namita Nayyar:
You have glowing skin and gorgeous hair. What are your Top 5 Skincare & Haircare Tips?
Ms. Daisy Lea:
1. Don’t over wash your hair or dye it too often. If you have extensions like I do, make sure you get a kind that you can wear long term that doesn’t do too much damage to your real hair.
2. Don’t wear makeup every day. I ONLY wear makeup for a photo shoot or date.
3. I religiously moisturize my skin. Twice a day. Moisturizing is the most important thing you can do for your skin if you want to look young for a long time. Also don’t drink alcohol, do drugs, or stay up late. All of that is bad for your skin & I don’t do any of those things. You will look “rode hard & put away wet” really quickly if that is your lifestyle.
4. Wear sunscreen, avoid lounging in the sun in general. Unless you want to look like leather in a few years lol. Drink a lot of water.
5. Filler looks great in faces, but Botox does not typically look good. Avoid Botox- but yes to fillers.
6. The best mask is honey mixed with lemon juice. You don’t need expensive products. I also sleep with Aquaphor under my eyes (in addition to moisturizer on my face, neck & hands).
Ms. Namita Nayyar:
You have also been trained as a stage performer with Cirque du Soleil in Montreal. Tell us more about your experience working with them.
Ms. Daisy Lea:
I trained with them for contortion age 16 to 17. I trained about 10 hours a day, it was a really rigorous program, but SO much fun! They spoke French, so I rarely understood what anyone was saying, but it’s interesting- you don’t really need to speak the same language to understand athletic instruction.
Prior to training in Montreal, I was a merit scholarship ballet student at the School of American Ballet in New York City. I danced & did gymnastics & contortion growing up about 40 hours a week. I was homeschooled to accommodate my training schedule.
All of that training is a big part of why I have a good body today. I’ve also always had a healthy diet, my entire life.
