Polo Player & Model Ashley Van Metre Busch Shares Her Fitness Secrets!
Ms. Namita Nayyar: You are best known as the face of the United States Polo Association (USPA), and have been featured in several global campaigns including the United States Polo Associations 125th year anniversary campaign. Share with your Top 5 Tips to look good in a photoshoot.
Ms. Ashley Van Metre: Yes, the USPA is like family to me. They recently just signed me as their first ever Brand Ambassador, and female face of the brand.
My top 5 tips to look good during a photoshoot include:
- Get a good nights sleep the night before
- Make sure you have a good breakfast
- Exfoliate and moisturize your skin the night before
- Smile A LOT, and over exaggerate your smile, it may feel weird but it always looks authentic and amazing in photos.
- Relax and have fun with it and make sure your poses are not forced
Ms. Namita Nayyar: Also tell us about your collaboration with La Isla’s Founder and CEO Enrique Sanchez-Rivera for an exciting surprise coming in 2017?
Ms. Ashley Van Metre: Enrique is a fellow polo player, and we have been friends for years. He has a very successful swimwear company, LA Isla, and owns several manufacturing plants in Colombia where he does private label. I have always had a passion for design and swimwear and used to collect swimsuits. This year, I am creating my own swimwear line, in which Enrique’s private label company is producing. It has been such an exciting process from drafting the designs, to choosing fabrics and colors. I plan on having part of my proceeds go to different charities as well. Enrique has been a great mentor along the way!
Ms. Namita Nayyar: With a massive following who look up to you and follow you, how does it feel that you are able to influence and inspire the healthy lifestyle of so many individuals?
Ms. Ashley Van Metre: It is an honor to be able to inspire those around me. I hope to continuing encouraging people to live authentically and follow their passions.
Ms. Namita Nayyar: What do you wish to say about the website Womenfitness.net and message for our visitors on our 18th Anniversary?
Ms. Ashley Van Metre: Happy 18th Anniversary to Women’s fitness, thank you for always being the foundation for women and healthy lifestyle.
