An interview with Erin Fee, model, entrepreneur and Purifyne Devotee
A model, entrepreneur and Purifyne Cleanse devotee, Erin Fee is
young, ambitious and knows exactly what she wants out of life. In her interview
with Purifyne, she is sharing with us how she is going to achieve her goals, why
she is so keen on promoting healthy living and Purifyne Cleanse in particular.
Purifyne:
What made you set up Fuuchi?
Erin: I first started Fuuchi as an
informative website for my friends travelling and working within the fashion
industry. It became apparent to me when so many friends I met whilst travelling
and working, that they would always as me to recommend places to them, suggest
travel routes and just general city tips. Once I began working on this, I got a
lot of enjoyment out of it and the ideas in my head just kept going on and on.
From the informative points of the website came the reviews, and then came the
"Fuuchi Features" where I provide a platform for other individuals in
the industry to display their talents, skills, achievements etc and promote
them. There is also the blogs that are linked onto the site, and most recently
the members section. From that has come the us of the logo do design the promo
hats.
P: How
has it impacted your life personally and
professionally?
E: I have to say that in
particular the 3 months before Christmas were non- stop for me. I was shooting
during the day and then I was writing all night, having Skype meetings with my
web designer in NYC, contacting PR companies and possible partners, designing
literally everything and anything you can think of. I started building the site
in the late summer, but this was when I really went full on with getting it
prepared and launched it in December.
I was
in a relationship at the time and I am sure it had its effects on that. I also
did find it hard to get the time to cook and eat properly so the things I
learnt from Purifyne really came in handy there with the small energizing snacks
and the importance of fitting the right things in even if you don't have time
to sit and have leisurely meals.
P: You
are very much health orientated. Does it come
naturally to you or are you like that for
a particular reason?
E: Working full time firstly
poses its needs for a detox in any industry. Living in a city again provides
the need to clean and detox- you just need that feeling sometimes in a city.
Add these two factors to working in the fashion industry where it is my job and
tool to look fresh, healthy, glowing and fit- it is a non brainer that detoxing
is a tool for me.
Eating
healthy in general though has always been a part of my life so perhaps it has
been slightly easier for me to adapt to juice cleanses I don't know. I was an
avid sports player at school and have always had an interest in fitness and
nutrition- its all very clever and interesting, and mostly very simple way in
which to feel good, prevent illness and stay fit so it’s really something I
feel everyone should have some knowledge of to be honest.
P: Tell
us about the first juice cleanse. How the experience
and what was the reason about it?
E: The first juice cleanse
actually came to me from my agency: select model management. They put me into
contact with Purifyne and I began my juice cleanse. I had no idea about juicing
or any knowledge of it actually- I just thought it would be a good detox and a
nice booster to my health and fitness regime.
It was
amazing. As I didn't know much about juice cleansing I remember being very
unsure of things. EG I would email Purifyne questions and queries- they would
get straight back to me with reassurance and encouragement. They were so
attentive in making the juice cleanse easy for me- I remember shooting for
Tatler in a location house just outside London: sure enough my cleanse packages
were delivered to me at the shoot location! It just mad it extremely easy and
convenient for me.
P: What
are they key benefits, emotional as well as physical?
E: You really do just feel energized!
You feel lighter, glowing, active and like you are getting your body reloaded.
Take out all the bad things and start with a clean slate.
P: What
is your philosophy for a happy and healthy life and
how intrinsic is body detoxification to
this?
E: My philosophy is find what you
love, live your life through yourself and do it with the best of friends around
you with a smile on your face! Now the only way you can do that is to be happy
and healthy with yourself first. It all has to come from you- so you have to
look after yourself and give yourself the best possible fuel to be the best
that you can be! Sometimes our bodies just need relief from all that we put
them through! They are a very tough machine- but if we want the machine to keep
running, we have to give it a servicing every now and then!
P: How
has juice cleansing changed your attitude to food?
Are
there foods that you now don't eat?
E:
Juice cleansing has made me see just how easy it is to start again. You have a
bad week just eating what you want, going on a big night out, or just run down
from sickness and juice cleansing refreshes and rejuvenates you in days! It
makes you see the qualities of all the foods that we are always told to eat-
and you see results in such a short amount of time that I promise you after you
cleanse you will incorporate these foods into your diet!
