I thought I’d share a typical day in ‘my office’ with you… Well, I don’t think I really have ‘typical’ days, they all have a different rhythm, call times and locations vary. This post will show how my day often evolves when I’m in and out of a city for a shoot.
This time it was Hamburg to shoot for ‘Tchibo’, so quite easy, no long haul flights, no jet lag, I was actually able to squeeze some exercise in as well, seriously hard as I had a steak dinner the previous night and I don’t recommend running with a cow in your stomach!
3:35am my alarm clock goes off- dreadful!
3:45am off for a run, more around the park than through it for safety reasons, it’s still pitch black
4:35am back home, my man has squeezed some fresh orange juice for me. We’re so into it now that we actually bought a very posh ‘Alessi’ citrus juicer, it’s an amazing machine, I definitely recommend it. The sourness of the oranges and grapefruit is amazing and really wakes me up
5:20am car collects me, off to the airport
6:20am arriving at Heathrow
6:45am in the lounge trying real hard not to eat those amazing bacon sandwiches, I also squeeze in a sneaky latte from ‘Pret’
7:50am watching the sun rise, people waiting at the gate for boarding, taking off right on time (very unexpected)
8:30am having my green superfood powder, the stewardesses always look at me funny when I give them back a very dirty greenish looking glass, I see them wondering what happened to the water they initially gave me…
10:30am land in Hamburg on time, this is all going too well?!
11:00am taxi to studio and my ‘sightseeing time’, all I see in Hamburg on this trip is the ‘Heinrich Hertz Tower’ from my car window
11:20am arriving at the studio in Behringstrasse, make-up time
12:20pm make-up done, we start shooting (sorry no backstage photos to be shown until the images are published)
06:00pm wrapping up, taxi back to the airport through busy Friday traffic
07:00pm waiting…with a cup of fruit watching sunset
09:00pm taking off
09:45pm (London time) landing in London
11:00pm back home and share the day’s gossip with my man
12:00am bed time… at last, asleep in seconds!
Good night and have a great April’s fools day!
This is the most amazing post I have ever seen…seriously…at the end of it I felt like I just returned from amazing work trip to Hamburg…I follow lots of blogs but I have never felt more inspired…you made my boring morning and Sunday…So big Thank you for that

That’s not a working day, it’s a working week!! Insane I need to go back to bed just reading it!!
Oh I know these days all too well! Saying that I would never get up and run before hand!! No wonder you’re at the top of your game Ms Capova!
These days kill me… would help if my man got up and made juice, I’ll be having a word with him!
Wow…. next time I moan about a long day at work I’ll re read this for some perspective!
Mad day! I’ll bet you sleep well? x
