The supermodel told Woman’s Day about her typical day.
Rise
I am a morning person by nature, but because of my lifestyle with frequent evening activities, I have become an owl. Now, when I am expecting my fifth child, I work much less and sleep accordingly longer. The time of the rise is determined by the youngest son, two-year-old Maxim. Breakfast is required in the morning. As a rule, this is either porridge or a soft-boiled egg, but certainly fresh berries.
Charging
Gathering children for school – why not physical activity? I also love yoga and walking with children in the park. I cannot call myself a fan of sports. The goal of any physical activity for me is wellness. I do not experience problems with being overweight due to good heredity and a reasonable attitude to nutrition.
Useful work
I can do everything around the house, but now there is no such need. The main useful work in my life is helping special children within the framework of my charitable foundation.
Dinner
We try to dine with the whole family when the older children return from school. True, Antoine does not always manage to come home for lunch due to his busy schedule. We eat soups very rarely. Traditionally, the main lunch dish is vegetable salad.
Reading
I like to read very much. Now I am carried away by Russian classics: I am picking up what I missed in my childhood.
Leisure time
The further, the more acutely I understand that all over-busy mothers are in debt to their children. Therefore, whenever possible, I try to spend time with my sons and daughter. I meet them from school, walk together, communicate. By the way, if we are alone with the children, I try to speak Russian with them. They understand everything, but still answer in their native language – English.
Dinner
In the evening, the whole family is together, so dinner is the main meal. And quite late: usually around eight o’clock in the evening. On the table there are usually meat, fish or poultry dishes and a lot of vegetables. After dinner, Antoine loves to play music on the piano, and we all sit nearby and listen with bated breath.
Retreat
In different ways, depending on the schedule of events with my participation. But if I am at home, I try to go to bed not too late. After all, in the morning you need to send the children to school, and baby Maxim will not let him sleep for a long time.
