BLOGGER + MODEL NATASCHA ELISA ON HEALTH, DIET, & EXERCISE

This babe.

How hot, right?!

Not only is she gorg, she’s a real go-getter. Natascha Elisa is a full-time blogger, model, & world traveler. Her lifestyle is simple: eat healthy, work out, & most importantly be positive!

Because no one likes Negative Nancy’s.

Positive Penny’s are so much cooler.

Anyway, meet Natascha…I hope you enjoy this interview as much as I did:

+ Introduce yourself.

I’m a model & a blogger; I run two blogs- a fashion blog In Search of Sadie & a food blog called Clean Cooking.

I’m also a travel addict, health food fanatic, sun chasing, palm tree-loving, happy, easy going girl.

+ Quick skinny trick?

Natascha Elisa: I don’t believe in getting skinny quick- I think any weight loss should be a healthy process. I’ve honestly never dieted, however, I was definitely brought up in a healthy household. I’ve been vegetarian by choice since I was ten years old & that’s definitely played a part in my healthy lifestyle.

I’ve learned a lot about nutrition & I make sure to include all the nutrients that I need in my diet daily. I also eat a lot veggies & drink a lot of water!

+ If you had to do a bikini shoot in a week, how would you prepare?

NE: Uh-oh…a bikini shoot in one week?!! I actually have a bikini shoot next week so I’m making sure that I walk or run everyday. In saying that, all of my eating & exercising habits are things that I genuinely enjoy & I think that’s really important.

If you’re enjoying your work out you’ll do it more often. You’ll also do it happily- & let’s face it, there’s nothing that prepares you better for a big day than positive energy.

So be positive! Confidence will show in the pictures & you’ll look good, if you feel good.

+ Weekly workout schedule?

NE: As I am often traveling I can’t maintain a regular schedule but I’m home right now & I’ve just started kickboxing ( which I absolutely love! ). So I’ve been doing that three times a week at the moment!

I also really enjoy yoga. I walk most days, whether it be walking with a purpose- to get to castings, get coffee, &/or groceries. I enjoy walking to get somewhere & I always take the stairs. I’m not really a gym girl but I love hiking & a beach run. I’d choose fresh air & scenery over a gym any day of the week.

+ Favorite go-to healthy food?

NE: Easy question! I love healthy food, bananas, raw nuts, energy balls, green smoothies, &/or oatmeal! These foods give me tons of energy while keeping me full in between meals…not to mention they’re all delicious!

+ Motivation to stay in shape?

NE: To feel good & to have energy! Again, when you feel good, you look good!

+ Favorite beauty product?

NE: My favorite beauty product is sunscreen ( << love it!!! ).

My favorite cosmetic product is ‘Radiant Touch Touche Éclat’ by Yves Saint Laurent. It’s the ultimate highlighter/quick fix magic stick!

+ Go-to natural beauty remedy?

NE: Coconut oil– I literally use it for everything. It’s an amazing hair mask, makeup remover, & moisturizer. A total one stop shop!

+ What’s in your purse?

NE: I actually don’t have a purse right now; if I head out at night I’ll just take my key, credit card, & phone. When I do need a bag, I carry a bottle of water, wallet, lip balm, & my portfolio- usually in a backpack!

+ Secret model tip for diet and health?

NE: Breakfast!! It’s so important & my absolute favourite meal of the day! Also eat healthy fats in your diet ( coconut & avocado are my daily fixes! ), regular balanced meals, & healthy snacks.

Be positive!! Happiness leads to healthiness & vice versa.
