My Glamifesto For Life With Kaia Gerber

“I’ve learned to feel glam in my sweat pants at this point,” reveals the 19-year-old model and budding actress, Kaia Gerber on lockdown life. More accustomed to finding her 'glam' on the catwalk as bonafide modelling royalty and daughter of original super Cindy Crawford, Kaia admits one of the perks of the day job walking for the world's best designers, is having her chic bob and enviable eyebrows coiffed by the pros. Yet the past year has led her to discover an alt type of glam. Like many of us, it has involved working from home often in trackie bottoms, but she reveals she's also partial to a spritz of perfume as a daily 'glam' ritual. Chatting to GLAMOUR over Zoom, for her episode of 'My Glamifesto For Life', she reveals the wellness and self-care hacks she lives by. They include journaling for positive mental health, listening to her music-making pals and performing energising crystal ceremonies on the full moon. She admits, "It's probably not the most normal thing to witness."

Hi Glamor, I'm Kaia.

and this is my Glamourfesto For Life.

[upbeat music]

My daily mantra is, today is a new day.

That's a good one.

Today's a new day, yep.

[Kaia laughs]

My instant mood booster is good music.

Right now, I'm listening to Charlotte Lawrence,

who's a friend, but also just makes great music

and she has a new EP

and that's been like definitely getting my spirits up

the last week.

I think it's definitely difficult to manage

your mental health, especially with the state of the world,

but I've definitely developed some practices that help.

Like, I write every morning things that I'm grateful for,

things that I can do to make myself happy today,

and then I kind of check back in at the end of the night.

And I write, again,

like things that would have made today better,

only things that I can control though.

Things that made me happy today,

things that I'm grateful for, again,

and just kind of being conscious of those things

I think has really helped me manage my mental health.

I value loyalty most in my friendships,

just a safe space, feeling like you can tell them anything

and it will stay there.

That's something that I really value.

I am most looking forward to,

one, just seeing my friends,

also, I think seeing live music with my friends.

That is something that I love to do

and haven't been able to do in a long time.

And I just think that's something that

will be one of the first things I try to do when,

you know, we can.

Alanis Morissette was going on tour,

and I was very excited for that,

and then I couldn't go see her.

So if that happens again, that will be like top of my list.

I feel my most glam probably doing shows.

I would say I feel definitely very glammed

when I have professionals doing my hair and makeup,

[Kaia laughs]

but you know,

I've learned to feel glam in sweat pants at this point.

So I think it's all, it's a state of mind.

It's not everything else.

[Kaia laughs]

Fragrance is important to me,

I think, one, just because I've been in the Daisy family

[notification sounds]

for so long, and it feels like a home to me

and it's become a ritual for me since I was 14

to wear Daisy.

And, so to be able to evolve with the brand

and just have it be something that's been consistent

[notification sounds]

through my whole life,

I think has been really wonderful.

Eau So Intense was so intense as kind of an interpretation

of the original, classic Daisy

that everyone knows and loves.

And I love it,

because I feel like I'm kind of entering a new phase

of my life.

So to have this more like rich, intense version

of the Daisy that I was wearing all throughout my teen years

[bottle clunks]

is really awesome.

And it just, it's really rich

and kind of has a more intense smell and it lasts all day.

So yeah.

I'd say the quirkiest thing I do,

is probably my crystals that I leave outside to charge

on the full moon and then bring back inside

and I'll kind of like lay with them on me

or place them in different areas.

I'm very into Feng Shui and things like that, so.

I really love Rose Quartz.

I just think it's one that everyone should have,

and it just brings in a lot of really good energy,

and that's just one that I kind of like to have all over.

Yeah, I would say like whenever I do my sort of ceremonies

with my crystals,

[Kaia laughs]

it's probably not like the most normal thing to witness.

[Kaia laughs]

Thank you for watching.
