Promoting her new Interflix movie, The Crows Have Eyes V, The Cravening, Moira Rose tells us how she keeps up her self-care while maintaining a busy schedule.

My little bébé crows, after completing a grueling shoot in the Italian Lakes for the sequel of my film, I wanted to pass on my self-care tips. At the end of a long day, I’d go to my villa, which doubled as my trailer, and my people would ask: “Moira, how do you do it all and be so bedazzling?” It’s true, self-care is not easy for me, focused as I am on my charity work, my family and promoting The Cravening, but here are my top tips:

Mindfulness

Stop and think of yourself for one tiny, little moment. Just for once. When Goldie Hawn introduced me to the Dalai Lama, he told me the secret to life is finding something you are passionate about. You. I believe he calls this “Flow.”

Home

Create a home-free environment at a six-star hotel. When I lie on the 900-ply Egyptian cotton and sip on Dom Perignon, and nibble on oysters I give back to the world by meditating on the words of Jesus, the desert handyman: “Imagine all the people living life in peace”.

Juvenescence

Take as many tasteful nudes of yourself as possible before that unkind Mr. Gravity visits. And then post them on the internet. Your future you will thank you.

Movement

My daughter and Publicist, Alexis, tells me that people exercise by “shredding.” What jabberwocky. Instead try “bedding.” Some silky ninja nightkicks between the sheets will do the trick. Combine sleeping with cardio, like a passeggiata at aperitivo hour. Or cartwheels in a thong, if you must.

Nutrition

I am an energetic flexitarian. As Goldie Hawn told the Dalai Lama who told me: dieting is for weight watchers.

Giving back

Take every opportunity to shine. Like I did at my son David’s wedding when I grabbed the microphone from his new husband’s hand and sang Danny Boy — there was not a dry seat in the house. If you are not constantly shimmering, then you’ll be a tumbleweed tottering towards oblivion.

Relationships

Like many hot singles, my daughter Alexis, is constantly swiping. I however don’t need a player as I have a stayer — the dapper Mr Rose. After many years together, I find body language the key to an adoring relationship and non-verbal cues are best. A simple eye movement to the right means time to run me a bath. Swipe left is for a back rub.

Art

My son and entrepreneur, David might not know how much Romanian marble costs but I certainly do. I make sure to roadtest items from his branded immersive experience that some call a shop so he has an endorsement from a celebrity and his mummy.

Style

I like to repurpose couture I’ve worn once for my singing entourage, the Jazzagals. Last year’s Gucci brings a little sparkle to their pale tired eyes. All it needs is a nip, a tuck and an elasticized maxi waist.

Wellness Journey

I’m afraid I neglected my own wellness journey when I took time out for my family at my country estate. I was bedeviled with providing my brood with an emotional balm, artistic advice and folding in of cheese. Nowadays I have a midday bath, which I find to be deeply clarifying, followed by a gin-based spirulina smoothie.

Sealed Section

You don’t need goopy vaginas or Gwyneth’s exploding egg to enjoy nightlife with your beloved. My top tip for a concupiscent bedchamber is to wear silk pajamas and an eye mask if your paramour is not who you thought they were when you met them at the awards after-party.

Remember, an aphrodisiac is any meal served to you in bed.

Namaste, my little bébé crows. As I proclaimed in the immortal lyrics of Danny Boy, “The spa the spa is calling.”
