I’ve always known that beauty is also from the inside – if you’re happy, that will shine through – I’ve always believed that, but since I’ve started having a family, I became even more happy, and I think it even shows more. I’ve also become more successful since I’ve become a mother. Doutzen Kroes Read Quote
Sometimes it’s a struggle to keep up with my own photos, where the lighting is perfect, the makeup is done, and the images have been retouched. That’s not what I see when I look in the mirror! Doutzen Kroes Read Quote
I feel I’m such a big part of that insecurity that some girls might have because of my job, that girls think they have to be that picture. And even boys, they think that that picture exists, and it’s so frustrating because I don’t look like that picture – I wake up not looking like that picture. Doutzen Kroes Read Quote
I’ve biked my whole life. We didn’t have bus service when I was going to school in Holland, so I biked around 25 kilometers to school every day. Doutzen Kroes Read Quote
You only hear the horror stories – that after a baby, you never get your body back – but it’s not true; it depends on your life beforehand. Doutzen Kroes Read Quote
I don’t always feel sexy even though I have to look it, and I’ve just learned to go into on-and-off mode. I’m a mom at home, and then I go into work, and it’s nice to have that contrast. I see a different person in the mirror when I’m at work with hair and makeup than when I’m home. Doutzen Kroes Read Quote
When I am with my mum, I am happiest and healthiest. She always taught me how to eat healthily. She always cooked from the garden, and it was always organic. Doutzen Kroes Read Quote
I am definitely a summer person. Don’t get me wrong: I love winter when it’s beautiful and sunny – I don’t really care about cold – I just hate the grey. Doutzen Kroes Read Quote
With kids, I have less time for things like masks – though I do try to treat myself, after they’ve gone to bed, to a mask or something. It’s kind of funny because, as you get older, you probably need to do more in terms of beauty, but actually, you have less time to do it. But becoming a mother has made me a stronger person.
