Summary: The life-changing fitness advice that will change the way you approach working out... Hello and welcome to Beauty Island, the award-nominated beauty podcast that celebrates life and lipstick. I'm your host, beauty journalist, Brittany Stewart. Each episode, I sit down with a guest and ask them about the 8 beauty products that have a special memory or meaning for them. The ones they'd take to a desert island, or Beauty Island, that I am sending them off too. Maybe it's the beauty product that defined their teens, the one they grew up watching their mum or grandma use, or the perfume that instantly sparks a memory of a special place or person. Along the way we find out more about their life, career and the people and events that have shaped them into who they are today. Today, my guest is Laura Henshaw, Co-founder of Keep It Cleaner. Keep It Cleaner, or KIC as it's affectionately referred to, is one of Australia's leading health and fitness programs aimed at women. The former model, law student and influencer founded it as an e-book with fellow model and best friend Steph Claire Smith, and in five years has grown it to a multifaceted business, including healthy treats you can find in the supermarket, that focusses on not just exercise or food, but health as a whole. You'll find no mention of diet or weight loss - a definitive decision made by the pair's own experience in the modelling industry where appearance and worth being dangerously linked. If you're one of Laura's quarter of a million followers on Instagram alone, no doubt you'll no doubt have an idea of a passionate, bubbly, beautiful and success person. From this interview, I can confirm it's entirely accurate. Positive, honest, kind and generous, Laura welcomed me into her Melbourne home with open arms to explore her relationship with beauty, health, relationships and a hobby that turned into a lucrative business. We talked about her struggle to separate her value from her looks in the early years of modelling, dealing with the trolling that comes with having a public profile, finding the motivation to put your health first, the go-to sheet mask she swears by for moments of self-care, and her secret Dj-ing past. She was candid, honest and full of valuable advice and insights that we could all be reminded of. As always if you enjoy this episode, please subscribe, rate five stars and write a review.
