Jessica Hart, the Aussie entrepreneur with the bombshell body, chats to WH about keeping in runway shape – while eating burgers and pizza
It’s no wonder Jess Hart, 31, stars in Seafolly campaigns and has walked the Victoria’s Secret runway – she’s in ace shape and that’s because she gives her body plenty of TLC. “I just took a three-day transcendental meditation course at the weekend, it’s my new thing,” she says. “My sister [Ashley] has been meditating for years and every time I’m with her, she does 20 minutes in the morning, 20 in the afternoon. I used to think it was too hard to find the time, but I’m going to do it. The benefits outweigh the commitment by a long shot,” she says. We chatted to Jess while she was waiting for a flight back from LA to NYC. Between shooting fashion campaigns globally and running LUMA, her own natural cosmetics line, we’re frankly impressed she has time for anything except collapsing on the couch. High achieving is in her genes.
