Portia Freeman hit the modelling big time at the tender age of 16 shooting with the likes of Mario Testino and Steven Meisel. The Brit-born model quickly became known as a noughties 'it' girl. Today she's making the most of the family time that lockdown life has afforded to her (she's a mother of two and married to musician Pete Denton) and talks Grazia through all the little things in life that can boost her mood in an instant.
**The song I listen to when I need a boost:**Ok the list is endless but without a doubt, Groove Armada's Super Stylin’. It lifts my mood within seconds!!
The book I can’t put down: I'm currently reading The Da Vinci Code and__ when I get a spare second (without my children stalking me) I’m going to start Three Women by Lisa Taddeo. I think that’s going to be a massive hit for me going by what loads of my friends have said.
My go-to feelgood recipe: Being in the kitchen is like therapy for me, I adore cooking. But for me waking up and making a batch of pancakes for my boys is a fave. I love how versatile they are and you always have the ingredients in your cupboard.
The Instagram account that brings me joy: Stacy Solomon, she’s a legend - end of!
What never fails to make me smile: When I open the fridge and see an unopened bottle of Ultimate Province. Oh, and my children’s bedtime.
My go-to supplement: Anything Vit C and I cannot live without my morning shot of Symprove.
My favourite at-home workout: Definitely FRAME online.
My feel-good at-home beauty routine: Evening bath time once the children are in bed, a long soak, a book, I may even shave my legs. Once out a full body moisturising session. I smother my face in Weleda’s skin food.
My failsafe face mask: I absolutely adore Trish McEvoy’s face masks.
Another song that makes me smile: Jax Jones - Tequila.
The smell that lifts my mood:****Tom Ford Private Blend Santal Blush Eau de Parfum 50ml, £164, or Escentric Molecules Molecule 01 100ml, £72.
The movie I’ll happily watch again and again: Wolf of Wall Street or The Notebook.
The Netflix show I tell everyone to watch: The Crown.
My happy place: Ibiza or, more locally, Hampstead Heath sat under a tree with my family and a picnic basket in the afternoon sun.
A final feelgood note from me: The most important relationship you’ll ever have is with yourself, stay true to yourself and what you believe in and don’t live in other people’s shadow.
