JESINTA Campbell’s is one of Australia’s most successful models, but she doesn’t diet and insists beauty comes in all shapes and sizes.
Her new book, Live a Beautiful Life, reveals she starts the day with a Healing Turmeric Juice, has an Alkalizing Green Smoothie if her skin is breaking out and goes to bed dreaming of Matcha Energy Balls.
She is also passionate about exercise and advocates readers follow a punishing workout routine that involves a 15km bike ride along with 80 bum lifts, 120 reverse lunges and 100 deep squats on the first day.
Other beauty secrets of this former Miss Universe Australia include taking turmeric and black pepper tablets, drinking up to three litres of water a day and rubbing a mixture of vodka, bicarb soda and coconut oil on her skin.
Although she cooks most meals from scratch, Ms Campbell does rely on supplements like spirulina, Udo’s oil, fish oil and magnesium.
In the book, which will be released next week, she writes that she loves to leave the gym “a hot sweaty mess”.
“I push myself as hard as I can and leave nothing in the tank at the end,” she says.
Ms Campbell writes that she is “not ashamed to say” that she sees a mental health professional regularly.
“I’ve found it really helpful and I feel so much better after a session, I got to download all my worries and stresses,” she says.
She also details the “plethora of pressures” she’s faced, which include living a life in the public eye after winning Miss Universe Australia, media scrutiny and her fiance Buddy Franklin’s battle with mental illness.
Ms Campbell also says she was an ugly duckling at high school and bullied by the popular girls.
“As a teenager I was the girl with the longest school skirt, I wore glasses and had braces, was teased for being studious and called a teacher’s put on numerous occasions,” she writes.
Ms Campbell recounts a time at high school when one of the “popular pretty girls” excluded her when handing out invitations for her party.
“I remember feeling so small that day. I cried when I got home from school. I knew I hadn’t been invited because I didn’t drink and wasn’t cool and would have been seen as a downer at the party. I was only fifteen,” she writes.
The book, published by Hachette, is dedicated to Mr Franklin, whom she calls her “best friend and soulmate”.
“Thank you for not complaining once when the computer was set up in the lounge room for months on end as I typed away while you watched TV. I owe you one hundred cuddles for every time you went to bed and I stayed up working on this. X,” she writes.
