Ms. Namita Nayyar: Introduce us to a day in the life of “Gabrielle Epstein”.
Ms. Gabrielle Epstein: Everyday is so different! I’m usually in a different country or state every other week, at the moment so establishing routine is impossible for me. When I’m travelling, it’s completely unpredictable, everyday is an adventure.
When I’m home though, which is only for about a week at a time, at the moment, I crave routine. I usually hit the gym by 5:30am/6am, and workout for an hour-1.5 hours, then I’ll go home and eat breakfast and make a list of everything I need to do that day. Then usually work from home, or from my laptop at a coffee shop, and catch up with my family or my friends.
Ms. Namita Nayyar: You are a blogger, model and co-owner of gabriellegrace.com. How do you manage such a remarkable multi-dimensional lifestyle?
Ms. Gabrielle Epstein: My time management skills have improved drastically haha! I have always been a morning person, but I find I’m much more productive when I get up early and get everything I need to do out of the way as soon as possible to avoid procrastination and I’m a huge list person.
I’ve also learnt that not everything will be in my control and sometimes life doesn’t go the way you plan, but when life throws you curveballs you just have to roll with it.
Ms. Namita Nayyar: What exercises comprise your fitness regime or workout routine?
Ms. Gabrielle Epstein: I grew up playing sport and love challenging myself with my workouts and always try and mix it up. At the moment I workout with a combination of jogging, boxing trainer, HIIIT circuits and try to get to yoga at least once 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. Gabrielle Epstein: I don’t look at it as a diet- I genuinely enjoy eating “healthy” foods and I notice I always have much more energy, sleep better and function better when my body is fed wholesome, nutritious food.
I drink a lot of water, avoid processed food and alcohol, and stick to lean protein, fresh fruits and vegetables, and raw seeds and nuts. I don’t think there’s any magical secret to feeling and looking good besides from what you put into your body is what you get out.
Ms. Namita Nayyar: You have glowing skin and gorgeous hair. Do you take some kind of skin treatment to keep it young and glowing and secondly what you do to your hair to make them look so stunning?
Ms. Gabrielle Epstein: Thankyou! My mum has actually got me started using a lot of natural remedies for keeping my skin and hair in good condition. I use coconut oil on my hair, skin, cooking…pretty much for everything! It’s amazing for cleansing and moisturising and my nails have never looked better.
I use Apple Cider Vinegar as a skin toner also use raw, unfiltered, organic honey as a mask for my face – raw honey has antiseptic qualities and it’s great for treating any breakouts or rashes. It’s full of nutrients, enzymes, vitamins and skin-boosting acids.
Ms. Namita Nayyar: We’ve learnt that you were a swimmer who competed at the state and national level before a shoulder injury forced you to stop. How was your experience like as a swimmer?
Ms. Gabrielle Epstein: Swimming is like no other sport- it’s a very solidarity and individual sport and requires so hundreds of hours of training to improve your time by hundredths of a second. Although I wouldn’t change anything now about ending my career, I’m very grateful that my parents led me into a sport that taught me discipline, dedication and hard work from a young age.
Ms. Namita Nayyar: You are the co-owner of gabriellegrace.com. Tell us more about this popular venture of yours? Also, what are your Top 3 favorite pieces from the shop?
Ms. Gabrielle Epstein: This venture started only about 6 months ago. Since I pretty much live in bikinis I wasn’t surprised that I would receive so many comments and emails from young girls asking me where I bought my swimwear, what was my favourite type of bikinis, and what type of suit should they were for their body type. I noticed there was a huge gap in the market for high quality, afforadable bikinis for young girls.
Gabrielle Grace swimwear isn’t about being bombshell sexy, it’s swimwear inspired by my travels and designed for the girls with a free spirit and wild heart. I want to make young girls feel like the best possible version of themselves when they put on my suit, and be proud and happy with their bikini body- without costing them 2 weeks wage.
I’m obsessed with crochet bikinis at the moment and my favourite suit is the MADI bikini bottoms and CANDICE top- I feel like I’m on a beach in Greece whenever I put it on!
Ms. Namita Nayyar: With an audience of over 1.5 Million followers on your Instagram account @gabbyepstein you’re a social media sensation and an internet leading star. How does it feel that you are able to influence the healthy lifestyle of so many individuals?
Ms. Gabrielle Epstein: I am very flattered and honoured to be able to share my life with so many people from around the world. I’m incredibly grateful that social media has given me a platform to help be a positive to so many young people. I am the oldest of three girls so I feel very strongly about the influence I can have over young girls.
I try and promote active and healthy and want all young girls to learn to embrace their own unique beauty and kick ass in whatever it is they choose to do in life.
Ms. Namita Nayyar: Give us your Top 3 Tips to be “Insta-Famous”.
Ms. Gabrielle Epstein: Be yourself!! Everyone else is already taken 🙂
Smile – everyone looks their best when they are genuinely happy.
Lighting and angles are everything- find your best side/pose in the mirror so you’re prepared for photos!
Ms. Namita Nayyar: Advice and motivational words to the inspiring and budding models, who all are your followers and shall like to know from you for their climb to the ladder of success in this field?
Ms. Gabrielle Epstein: My father always told me “Always go with the choice that scares you the most- that’s the one that helps you grow”, and I’m so glad I listened to him. I was studying Biomedical Science at University in Australia and deferred my degree at the beginning of this year because my heart wasn’t in it and I simply didn’t love the idea of doing it for the rest of my life. Now I genuinely feel like I am the happiest I have ever been and look at each day like a new adventure and experience – whether it’s a good day or a bad day. It was a huge risk to defer my degree to travel the world, but no risk no reward right? I think that same thought applies to anything that you do or want to achieve throughout life.
Ms. Namita Nayyar: What you wish to say about the website Womenfitness.net and message for its visitors?
Ms. Gabrielle Epstein: It’s such an amazing thing that in this day and age, women can come together to support and inspire each other in not only fitness and health goals but throughout life- and Womensfitness.net is such a positive platform to allow that. I’m very grateful that I have the opportunity to be a small part of it!
