Former Miss Universe and the face of MYER, Jen Hawkins talks to The Weekly in the MYER marquee at the Spring Racing Carnival.
Q: How long did it take you to get ready this morning for the races?
Without breakfast, one hour.
Q: What’s your favourite thing about going to the races in Melbourne?
There’s heaps of excitement about the races, so I love the preparation before hand and the actual days are fun when you’re dressing up and I love the parties, the people and Melbourne in general because I get the chance to stay for week and hang out on my days off in between. Melbourne has such a great vibe around Cup time so it’s lots of fun.
Q: What’s your secret for staying in such great shape?
There’s no secret. Exercise, healthy food, two litres of water a day. And, let yourself have a few sweets every now and then.
Q: Do you ever have ‘fat days’?
Yes.
Q: What’s the one thing that always cheers you up when you’re having a bad day?
Exercise — usually a run or yoga.
Q: What’s your motto in life?
Find the fun in everything. And, treat others how you’d like to be treated.
Q: Favourite thing to do on a lazy Sunday morning?
My perfect Sunday would be sleeping in, having a late breakfast while reading some magazines, followed by a walk along the coastline, dinner, then the movies.
Q: How do you switch off after a big day?
Go for a walk, do some pilates, read a book or wine with dinner.
Q: What is your favourite AWW memory or cover?
I love the Christmas covers.
