Hot girl walk, reformer class, or living room stretch… what’s your current go-to to move?

Carena: At the moment it’s at home pilates for me as getting time to go to a gym around commuting, work and school pick ups is a bit of a nightmare! I have always loved a reformer class however, and I have a big Clydesdale cross horse called Chunky. I’m not riding at the moment because I’m pregnant but he’s not going anywhere!

 

Bex: Vinyasa, Ashtanga, Hot yoga are all top of my list, as well as hot girl walks up Mt Eden or along Westhaven Marina with my flatmate and her dog. I’m very keen to get back into weight training this winter too.

Your workout song is…

Carena: It changes all the time to be honest but right at this very moment it would probably be Sympathy is a knife featuring Ariana Grande by Charli xcx.

 

Bex: Fake ID by Riton, Kah-Lo.

Winter rituals for you look like…

Carena: Mostly Being cozy at home watching movies with cups of tea! If I’m lucky a fresh morning walk on the beach in Whangamata with the family.

 

Bex: I have a hot chocolate every night made with cacao, almond milk, maca root, cinnamon and honey. I love snuggling on the couch to watch all the new shows and cooking delicious food with my partner!

A moment recently that reminded you why you started?

Carena: Our pink ribbon lunch, where our community came together to raise funds for the New Zealand Breast Cancer Foundation. It’s sharing events like these with our community that helps me to remember why we work so hard! 

 

Bex: Being in our studio and meeting our customers in person is always a highlight for me! I love having a chat and getting to know why and how they came about the brand.

 

f you could do a workout with anyone (past or present), who would it be?

Carena: I’d love to do something like an original Suzanne Sommers Aerobics class- including the outfits!

 

Bex: Arnold Schwarzenegger in 1973.

 

 

Quick fire questions:

 

If you could design a piece of jewellery for anyone (celeb or not), who would it be?

Jessica McCormack - This is dangerous territory and it would be super scary, but as someone in the industry, I have so much respect for her and her remarkable creative mind. If we could design a piece for her that she actually liked and wore, that would be so cool haha.

 

Most iconic piece of jewellery (in your opinion)

Princess Diana’s engagement ring.

 

It’s date night, what are you wearing? (jewellery as well)

Capri pants, a cute top, heels, my Shivana gold necklace, my engagement ring set, east west emerald cut diamond ring, baguette diamond crown ring, and a gold bangle.

 

Your fave thing about Autumn dressing is…

Layers!

 

One thing you’d tell your younger self?

You have the power to make happiness happen.

 

When you’re not at Four Words, where would we find you?

Either cocktails with friends or on my couch eating a rice bowl.
