Lizzie: So you live such a fast pace career with Gary Pepper, How do you mange it all? How do you get a work/life balance?
Gary Pepper Girl: Ah its very tricky to be honest but luckily I do think that my life is my work. I have been able to combine both, there very intertwined, I honestly don’t ever switch off! I’m constantly looking for content for social media or my blog.
Lizzie: Your just always working!
Gary Pepper Girl: Yeah haha, I mean its so clique but if you love what you do its not really work. You know digital media and social media is such a large part of my generation so I’m constantly on my phone so I don’t really see it as work. I generally enjoy it and I do try and keep a balance but its hard when you travel so much its more the personal things that get a little bit neglected so I wish i could see my family and my friends a little bit more but they understand at the end of the day.
Lizzie: And how do you keep healthy?
Gary Pepper Girl: Its a conscious thing, so I try to eat really well. I drink lots of water and I think one of the biggest secrets is not to drink alcohol because with alcohol comes the whole lifestyle of staying out late, not getting enough sleep, perhaps smoking. I think water and sleep is the biggest key to staying healthy especially when your travelling all the time and I guess trying to do a little big of excise between.
Lizzie: And Coffee! your the 2014 Lavazza Style Consultant, does coffee play any part in your life?
Gary Pepper Girl: It does! Funny enough I only started drinking coffee when I started Gary Pepper. I didn’t really need the energy as much as I did when I started my own business so it was actually my boyfriend that said ‘you need to try coffee’ and I was like ‘oh I’m sure it will be fine’. The first cup of coffee I was addicted and now I just love the taste, so it really gave me the fuel to build my business. So I’m really happy working with Lavazza.
Lizzie: Amazing, style consultant has such a nice ring to it!
Gary Pepper Girl: It does, I think it celebrates everything I want to be doing being behind the scenes and consulting but then its also intertwined with the fashion side of this industry. So thats where the style element comes in, you know we are celebrating the biggest fashion celebrations in Australia so I think being Style Consultant was very fitting.
Lizzie: Its very nice, very nice! Thank you Nicole.
Gary Pepper Girl: Thank you!
