Whether it’s Vita in mom-mode or Vita in chic traveler-mode, the supermodel and entrepreneur keeps things simple. 

Vita’s Vacation Rituals:

Give us the play-by-play of how you spend your time on a flight. 

My flight really can go two ways:

Either it’s Vita the mom—leggings, hoodie, hair in a bun, ready to fight for her life on that plane and tame the kids.

Or it’s Vita the traveler—alone or with my husband, looking chic and put together, with an ebook in one hand and a water bottle in the other, fully in my peaceful traveler era 

What wellness essentials are in your purse or carry-on?

Usually I take electrolytes with me. I also bring my hand cream (obsessed with the one from L’Occitane because it doesn’t leave my hands greasy), a mini skincare kit with just a moisturizer (I use the Day Cream by Lendava), and a lip mask by Laneige.

You’ve touched down for a holiday or a work weekend in a new city. What’s the first thing you’re doing when you check into your hotel?

First thing I do is unpack all my stuff and iron my clothes—I don’t know what it is, but that’s literally my must-do the moment I arrive. I even bring my portable steamer with me because I’m not paying $20 to iron one dress. Then, of course, it’s shower time and off to explore the city!

What’s your ‘low effort, high vibe’ glam secret — something you do before a day out exploring or dinner that makes you feel like a 10/10 without doing the most?

My low-effort glam is pulling my hair back into a sleek bun—because even if your hair’s dirty, somehow in a bun it still looks chic and put together. Then just Caffeinated SPF and blush. Blush makes all the difference (I love the liquid blush by Armani). 

Walk us through your wind down routine. What are some of your favorite practices to get “hotter in your sleep” & evening rituals you can’t live without? How does your sleep routine change while traveling?

I never go to sleep with makeup on—no matter how tired I am, I always take it off. I love using micellar water by Bioderma and the cleansing gel by Clearstem. Then I ice roll. Another bedtime ritual is reading—it helps so much to calm my mind and switch off from daily tasks and problems. And whenever I travel and deal with time changes, I love taking a natural supplement by Arrae.

HOT TAKE

Your dream Autumn destination:

Dream autumn destination? A cozy NYC upstate retreat. I love watching the leaves change colors—it’s something we definitely don’t get to see in Florida.

 One prediction for what’s going to be HOT this Fall, but is still under the radar: 

I know it might sound strange coming from someone who shares fashion, but I really don’t follow trends… like, I’m not reading into them at all. I might adapt a trend a year later lol. I just wear whatever I like, and I think that’s something we all need to do more of. Trends are becoming so repetitive.

Life-changing beauty hack:

Taking care of yourself from within—because it will show on your face. Sleep…is the best skincare.

Color you’re painting the season with?

Same with trends… I have all kinds of colors in my wardrobe, but I usually go for the ones that suit my features—often pastels and softer tones.

Instant mood booster: 

A workout, good music and a cup of matcha—combine all that and that’s all I need to boost my mood.
