Take a Break With Model Nicole Harrison ( INTERVIEW )

Where did you grow up?Perth, Western Australia

If you weren’t a model, what career would you pursue?I have always had a passion for psychology, I find how the mind works and what drives our subconscious so fascinating. So I would love to be doing something in that.

What is your mantra? (If you don't have one, make one up. We'll wait.)This too shall pass.

What makes you feel sexy?When I have a tan (I didn't realize how pale I could be until I spent a winter in New York).

Where have you never been but want to go?I have always wanted to explore Hawaii.

Do you read the comments?

Yes, sometimes. You can't help but have a little scroll.

What is the craziest thing you’ve done on a shoot?I was on a lingerie shoot in Chile and while we were shooting in the middle of the Atacama desert some llamas were passing by us, so naturally the photographer decided to try and get them in shot! It was quite entertaining.

How do you spend your time off?So many different things! Number one is relaxing, I usually do this by reading/listening to music or taking a bath. Number two is working out. I love staying active so anything from spin, to boot camps to pilates. Last, but certainly not least, I love cooking,eating, and drinking wine. So if there are any new restaurants, I love trying them (especially burgers or Japanese.) My other favorite thing to do is cook up a nice big meal anything from steaks with slow roasted veg, or pulled brisket with a huge salad and then enjoy this with a nice glass (or two) of red. Preferably Malbec!

What is your most prized possession?A ring I have from my mother. My sisters and I gave my mum a lot of jewelry for gifts growing up, unfortunately now her arthritis gets so bad she can't wear a lot of them. So while I was home over Christmas she gave me one, I like to wear it and think of her.
