Ms. Namita Nayyar: You were born in Mississauga, Ontario, Canada. From a young age, you have been in the spotlight with appearing in several movies, commercials and music videos. You were featured as one of the contestants on the Citytv/ABC reality show The Bachelor. This propelled your career in acting and in reality TV to the height where you have been at the top of the world in television and modeling. Tell us something about this fairy tale journey?
Ms. Jessie Sulidis: It’s been a wild and adventurous journey. I look back and am so proud and grateful of the experiences I have made in the past 31 years on this planet. I have had the opportunity to travel the world working in many different fields (reporting, racing, modelling, acting), and experience being both in front and behind the camera as well as have a successful career and have an amazing family and husband.
I really do feel like I have it all right now. My career really took off after appearing on The Bachelor. It was a major stepping stone to be able to work with popular outlets such as ET Canada and eTalk. Now I am the proud owner of an established Cosmetic Company (Cosmetco.com) my parents started just over 30 years ago that I took over.
Ms. Namita Nayyar: You are world leading media personality, model, actress, reality TV star, Style Icon, TV host & Reporter, Beauty Blogger, Makeup Artist, Manager, airbrush trainer, co-owner at The Cosmetic Company and a brand ambassador. How you manage such a remarkable multi-dimensional lifestyle?
Ms. Jessie Sulidis: I have a lot of energy and love going after my passion. I’ve slowed down my acting and television career recently to put all my focus on The Cosmetic Company (www.cosmetco.com) and my Bridal Artistry company (www.arunwaybride.com) to take it to new levels. The Cosmetic Company was owned by my parents but I recently took it over when my mom fell ill and sadly passed away from a rare disease called Amyloidosis.
I have a very supportive family and husband so that has helped tremendously with support and the transitions. My husband is a professional hockey player so he is always on the road or training so we have similar lifestyles and always support each other and take turns taking care of the house etc to make it work both in our professional and personal lives.
Ms. Namita Nayyar: What exercises comprise your fitness regime or workout routine you may wish to share?
Ms. Jessie Sulidis: I workout about 3-4 times a week and try to have at least 8 hrs of sleep a night (sometimes with work it’s impossible). I do boot camp style classes and Pilates. I was a competitive gymnast and dancer growing up so I have always been quite petite and have amazing muscle memory and a super fast metabolism. I like to do lighter weights with more reps to keep long and lean.
Ms. Namita Nayyar: Do you take some special diet or have a strict menu that you follow to remain healthy and physically fit?
Ms. Jessie Sulidis: I don’t believe in dieting but I do eat Gluten and Dairy free as I have food intolerances. I try to eat fairly healthy most of the time as it makes me feel my best….but I do enjoy spicy chicken wings and love to have gluten free pasta or pizza. I really like Mexican food too so we try to make it healthier by using extra lean meats (turkey), dairy free cheese, and corn tortillas. I also don’t over indulge. It’s all about moderation and portion size.
