Model Laura McGuire (USA)<br />
Can you tell us a little about you? I am married with 3 children and I have been living<br />
in the USA for 13 years. I am Lithuanian by heritage. Besides modeling I am very<br />
passionate about fitness and healthy lifestyle. Being a certified personal trainer and a<br />
group fitness instructor enables me to share my approach of staying fit and give<br />
inspiration to others. I am not only preaching I have been practicing it for many years.<br />
If you could change anything about yourself, what would it be? I am comfortable with<br />
who I am. I won’t lie that confidence comes with age and understanding of your<br />
strengths and weaknesses. It comes with knowing how to laugh at yourself but stand<br />
your ground when it is necessary. It is a complicated topic in a sense that you have to<br />
accept who you are and make the best out of it. Nobody is perfect and we all know it.<br />
How did you start modeling? I was modeling on and off since 14 years old. I was<br />
discovered by model scouts visiting Lithuania at the time. It is an exciting glamorous<br />
industry and once you fall into it you can’t leave it so easily.<br />
What do you think of the work as a model? Work as a model is very exciting in the<br />
sense that it is very diverse. It surely has the glamorous side that most of the people<br />
are attracted to. It gives me an exposure to all of the beautiful things that we women<br />
love: latest fashion, skincare, make up etc. It also gives me an opportunity of constant<br />
make overs depending on the role you are playing during a photo shoot.<br />
What is your beauty regimen? My beauty regimen is quite basic. There is nothing<br />
extravagant or too expensive. I am a believer of regular facials which I do every 2<br />
months. And you certainly have to find the skincare that works for your skin and age.<br />
Besides that your body is a reflection of how you live your life.<br />
What are your personal qualities which distinguish you from others? I think I am a<br />
very positive person. I am focused on things that I am trying to achieve but at the same<br />
time I believe in natural course of events, destiny.<br />
What are your plans for the future? The future is as bright as you want it to be. Family<br />
is the center of my universe and having them all healthy and happy is my biggest wish.<br />
I build everything around my 3 children and my husband, they are the priority.<br />
Career-wise I would like to grow as a fitness professional, educate and inspire people<br />
on healthy lifestyle and fitness. In fashion industry I would like to continue successfully<br />
work as a model and proudly embrace different opportunities that come with age.<br />
