Nadia Rahmat (NR): “I carry six essentials in my model bag. Firstly, I have my Marc Jacobs wallet to hold my cash and cards. Instead of whiling the hours away, I like to have a book on hand to keep me busy while I’m waiting backstage. I also carry around my favourite sugar bloom lip balm by Fresh as my lips tend to get dry easily. A thermos flask is also one of my must-haves as it’s always important to keep myself hydrated all the time. I usually put water or homemade smoothies in it! Besides my phone, I also bring along my iPad as I keep my portfolio in there in case potential clients want to see my past work. I sometimes use it to attend to urgent work emails as well. Lastly, I always make sure to pack my Body Shop tea tree wipes as, after a show, I prefer removing my makeup immediately to let my skin breathe.”

NR: “My diet hasn’t really changed significantly because I always practice eating healthy. Besides my three main meals, I like snacking on dark chocolate with nuts in it. Greek yoghurt with berries is really good too. I also love making smoothies and I will combine different ingredients such as Greek yoghurt, frozen berries and peanut butter. I recently just got into oat milk (it’s so good) and I also love eating granolas and nuts.”

NR: “I do high-intensity interval training (also known as HITT), which is great for cardio and keeps my stamina up and my mind active. I will then balance it out with yoga as it helps build up my strength and overall well-being. However, I don’t workout every day and I try to stagger it out to let my body have sufficient rest. I try to exercise around three to four times in a week, minimum three times if I’m really strapped for time. But if I’m quite diligent, I’ll do it four times a week.”

NR: “An exfoliant, moisturiser and a face mask are my top three skincare products I use prior to Singapore Fashion Week. After exfoliating and removing dead skin cells, I like using a face mask as it is much more beneficial than a usual moisturiser.”

NR: “My hair is pretty dry so I will definitely use a conditioner and an oil-based moisturiser after shampooing. I prefer using oil-based moisturisers as I feel that serums are not as effective. I will apply the moisturiser when my hair is still damp and leave it on for a few hours with my hair wrapped up in my towel.”
