Namita Nayyar:
Over the past decade, you have been expanding your professional abilities, including working as a computer interface analyst. Elaborate more on this endeavor of yours?
Lacey Asher:
A computer interface analyst is a professional who specializes in designing and analyzing computer interfaces, which are the ways that humans interact with computer systems. This can include things like user interfaces for software applications, website design, and the design of physical computer hardware like keyboards and touchscreens.
The role of a computer interface analyst involves conducting research to understand user needs and behaviors, designing and testing interface prototypes, and collaborating with software developers, designers, and other stakeholders to ensure that the interface is intuitive and easy to use.
To work as a computer interface analyst, one typically needs a strong background in computer science, human-computer interaction, or a related field. They also need strong analytical and problem-solving skills, as well as excellent communication and collaboration abilities to work effectively with cross-functional teams.
Namita Nayyar:
You are a world-leading car racer, model, businesswoman, taekwondo black belt, computer interface analyst and brand ambassador. How do you manage such a remarkable multi-dimensional lifestyle?
Lacey Asher:
Managing a multi-dimensional lifestyle requires effective time management, prioritization, delegation, and a strong support system. It also involves setting clear goals, maintaining a healthy work-life balance, and continuously learning and adapting to new challenges.
One approach could be to prioritize tasks and activities based on their importance and urgency, and delegate or outsource some tasks to free up time for other activities. It is also important to take breaks and practice self-care to prevent burnout and maintain mental and physical health. Additionally, having a strong support network of friends, family, colleagues, and mentors can provide emotional support and guidance to help manage a multi-dimensional lifestyle.
Namita Nayyar:
What exercises comprise your fitness regime or workout routine you may wish to share?
Lacey Asher:
I suggest exercises that can be a part of a well-rounded fitness routine such as cardio exercises like running, cycling, or swimming, strength training exercises like weightlifting, bodyweight exercises like push-ups, squats, and lunges, and flexibility exercises like yoga or stretching. It is important to also prioritize hydration by drinking electrolytes before, during, and after your workout.
My top favorite is yoga. I lived in the jungle in Costa Rica for 22 days to achieve my yoga teacher training certificate, 2023. The experience was absolutely breathtaking. I lived with four other women and together, we supported each other not just through our classes, but also through the challenges of our surroundings. The experience transformed me spiritually, mentally, physically, and emotionally as a woman.

Namita Nayyar:
Do you take some special diet or have a strict menu that you follow to remain healthy and physically fit?
Lacey Asher:
I have tried various diets in the past, but the one that has worked best for me involves avoiding fried foods, reducing my carbohydrate intake, and consuming smaller portions. When selecting a diet, I do not strive for perfection; instead, I aim to set myself up for success by being practical and realistic.
Namita Nayyar:
You have glowing skin and gorgeous hair. Share with us your hair care and skincare routine.
Lacey Asher:
Hydration is essential for maintaining healthy skin and hair. Drinking electrolytes helps to flush out toxins from the body, which can lead to clearer and brighter skin. When the body is dehydrated, the skin can become dry, flaky, and prone to wrinkles. Proper hydration can also help to improve the elasticity of the skin, making it look firmer and more youthful.
In addition to drinking water, consuming foods that are high in water content, such as fruits and vegetables, can also help to keep the skin and hair hydrated. This includes foods like watermelon, cucumber, strawberries, and lettuce.
When it comes to hair, hydration is important for maintaining its strength, shine, and flexibility. When hair is dry, it can become brittle and prone to breakage. Drinking electrolytes and consuming hydrating foods can help to keep the hair moisturized from the inside out. I so like using coconut oil for dry and split end.
Overall, staying hydrated is an important component of maintaining healthy, glowing skin and hair. So, make sure to drink plenty of water and incorporate hydrating foods into your diet for optimal health and beauty.
