Ms. Namita Nayyar:
Vegetarianism is on the rise with time. What according to you are the benefits of having a vegetarian lifestyle?
Ms. Nicole DuPort:
I prefer a plant based diet, but I try not to label myself as any one kind of eater. For me to stay sane, I have to keep my focus on being balanced. Strict eating habits don’t help me. But the truth is I hate meat. I think of meat the way most people think of vegetables, like, “Do I have to?” And I’m so glad the answer is no! There is a lot of research out there about the health benefits of vegetarianism and veganism. I see its benefits in my immunity strength, my energy level, clear skin, steady weight and general health. Plus, I’m not eating animals and that feels great! Not to mention that vegetarianism is much better for our planet and the sustainability of farming.
Ms. Namita Nayyar:
Exercise is essential along with healthy eating, how do you go about incorporating it into your routine to lead a fit & healthy lifestyle?
Ms. Nicole DuPort:
I try to keep my exercise routine varied. I love yoga, Pilates, weight training, running and hiking. Stretching is also a very important part of my day. I try to get in a proper workout at least 3-4 times a week. It can be hard to squeeze everything into a day, so I make sure I move everyday for at least 30 minutes. In a pinch, this might be a rigorous walk, a short yoga video on YouTube, or dancing to a few of my favorite dance songs.
Ms. Namita Nayyar:
Working on sets calls for use of a lot of make-up. What is your skincare and hair care maintenance routine & tips for our visitors?
Ms. Nicole DuPort:
After a day on set, I take the makeup off my face as quickly as possible and re-moisturize. Keeping your skin healthy means keeping it clean when you’re wearing layers of make up under intense lights for hours at a time. It’s important to stay hydrated on set, so your skin looks healthy.
My main recommendation to everyone is: Sunscreen, sunscreen, sunscreen! I also try to stay away from parabens, phthalates and other chemicals, so I stick with pretty natural products. I treat my skin very gently. Nothing harsh or drying. I love to exfoliate, so I use a gentle almond scrub every once in a while. It may sound silly, but affirmations are a big part of my beauty routine. Rather than bemoaning all my flaws when I wash or moisturize my face, I say loving things into the mirror.
