 Class & Elegance with a Twist of Sensation
Lauren LOTUS

We’re happy to have you feature on Playboy! Can you give us a bit of a background on your career as a model and where it all started? I started modeling roughly five years ago. I worked with a female photographer friend of mine on a boudoir project to help boost my self-confidence. I found my “modeling niche” along the way, and truly fell in love with bikini and lingerie modeling. It has always been a major goal to be on the cover of Playboy. I am so honored!

Having a full schedule must make it difficult for you to get much alone time, talk to us about the top 3 must-dos to ensure you fit in some well-deserved downtime? Three must-dos are meditation, beach/spa days and cuddling up on the couch watching cartoons. I am huge on mental health. Living a busy life gets very stressful very fast. It is important to practice self-care and time management to withhold a stable mindset.

What does it mean for you to be seen as a strong, intelligent, ambitious woman? Independency and positivity! You have to be independent and understand you only have yourself to depend on throughout life. You have to invest in yourself to succeed. Only you have the power to elevate your life to create the life you want to live. Positivity goes a long way as well. I understand that there are going to be ups and downs throughout life. I may succeed at one thing and fail at the other. I keep a positive mindset and get back up and try again. I stand up for what I believe in. Overall, I carry willpower and consistency throughout my life.
