Leighton Meester shares how she balances her creativity, self-care routine and work life.
The “Gossip Girl” alum and wife of Adam Brody, who launched her new fragrance in collaboration with Elizabeth Arden, expressed her gratitude for the moments of “calm and peace.”
“I mean, I wish I could say it was just calm and relaxed and just peaceful at all times, but I think I appreciate the moments of calm and peace because life just goes on,” she told People.
“But I feel like for me there’s a nice balance between creativity and my work, which fortunately is also my creative life. I’m very lucky in that way that I really like what I do,” she continued.
As Meester, who tied the knot with Brody in 2014 and welcomed two children, noted, “And then I have a family, and all my emotional bandwidth is devoted to that and that gives me the most satisfaction. Making time just for me and then just for my family is vital, and it’s the only way to truly give my all to every part of my life.”
And when she craves me-time during a busy schedule, a “4 o’clock” bath gets the job done.
“If I get a call at five in the morning or something, I say, ‘Okay, I’m going to take a bath at four in the morning and then I’m going to go in and do what I have to do,'” she added.
