Mother Knows Best<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Yasuo\u3000<\/strong>How old are your children?\u00a0<\/p>\n

Miho\u3000<\/strong>I have a twelve year old boy, an eleven year old girl, and a nine year old boy. I started having children at 27 and had given birth to all three by age 30.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Yasuo\u3000<\/strong>They\u2019re so close in age! You must be such a devoted mother.<\/p>\n

Miho\u3000<\/strong>I absolutely am. Having children helped illuminate so many new qualities within myself. My work didn\u2019t have much structure, so when I had kids, I wanted to devote all of my time to them. My life revolves around their schedules\u2014I really only get down time when they go to sleep! That\u2019s when I start my nightly skincare routine, which is my time to unwind and practice self-care. I use the incredibly nourishing Martina Gebhardt Eye Cream<\/a> every evening. I also love Herban Essentials Lavender Towelettes.<\/a> Whenever I open their packaging, I inhale and the fragrance instantly relaxes me.\u00a0<\/u><\/p>\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

Yasuo\u3000<\/strong>I have one daughter and that\u2019s overwhelming as is. I can\u2019t imagine having three.\u00a0<\/p>\n

It must be hard work keeping things together!<\/p>\n

Miho\u3000<\/strong>Now that my youngest is in 4th grade, I\u2019m thinking about my wants and needs a little bit more. Still, raising three kids keeps you very busy. Parenting takes up roughly 80% of my time, and with the other 20%, I try to focus on myself.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Yasuo\u3000<\/strong>I\u2019m sure you can eventually get back to focusing on yourself once a little more time passes.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Miho\u3000<\/strong>You\u2019re right. I need to feel good about myself so I can empower my children in a similar way.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Yasuo\u3000<\/strong>Self-love is important. Even for adults.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Miho\u3000<\/strong>Now that all of the kids are in school, I\u2019ve taken some time to rediscover myself and think more carefully about the future. It\u2019s exciting to envision where life may lead.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Must Be Dew-ing Something Right<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

Yasuo\u3000<\/strong>It was lovely shooting in that garden today. You blended into the environment so well\u2014you have a look that reminds me of models in old Japanese paintings.<\/p>\n

Miho\u3000<\/strong>More Westernized environments don\u2019t really suit my look.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Yasuo\u3000<\/strong>What foundation do you typically use?\u00a0<\/p>\n

Miho\u3000<\/strong>I use a liquid base and then powder over it.<\/p>\n

Yasuo\u3000<\/strong>Does it come off after a while? When you put powder over your face to cover oil, your skin actually produces more oil.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Miho\u3000<\/strong>I didn\u2019t know that! What am I doing wrong?\u00a0<\/p>\n

Yasuo<\/strong>\u3000My personal theory is that when your face produces a lot of oil, your pores become enlarged. By adding a little oil to your skin, it suppresses your natural oil production. Which is why the makeup looks dewy with just a little sheen.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

Miho\u3000<\/strong>Wow, I\u2019ll have to switch up some of my techniques. I feel like the dewiness makes me look healthier.<\/p>\n

Yasuo\u3000<\/strong>It\u2019s nice to try something different, right?<\/p>\n

Miho\u3000<\/strong>Yes. I haven\u2019t done a photo shoot in a long time, and I\u2019ll admit that when I arrived today, I was a little nervous. But you made me feel so comfortable! It made me think about stepping out of my comfort zone a little bit more.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

To Thine Own Self Be True<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Yasuo\u3000<\/strong>What was your personality like when you were working? Did you want to be perceived in a certain way?\u00a0<\/p>\n

Miho\u3000<\/strong>People definitely want you to maintain a certain image and stick with it. Looking at photographs of myself made me realize that I totally transform in front of a lens. In terms of makeup,\u00a0<\/p>\n

I became quite interested in what colors and shades worked for me. I use this American brand, Alima Pure<\/a>, that’s great for sensitive skin. Their Lip Tint<\/a> is one of my favorite products. I normally go for the shade Daisy\u2014it has a reddish-pink tone that blends well with my natural lip color, and never leaves them chapped or dry. In terms of skincare, I don\u2019t really do anything complicated.<\/p>\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

Yasuo\u3000<\/strong>It sounds like you\u2019ve learned a lot throughout your career. Do you enjoy working in the entertainment industry? You have this unique ability to define your own beauty that many ordinary people admire and aspire to achieve.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Miho\u3000<\/strong>That\u2019s true. But no one aspires to be you if you can\u2019t be true to yourself. As a woman, paying attention to yourself and your beliefs is important, whether you have children or not. I hope to retain my beauty in ten or even twenty years, but I know there will of course be ups and downs.\u00a0<\/p>\n

I need to stay focused on my desires while also embracing the potential changes that may come.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Actions Speak Louder Than Words<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Miho\u3000<\/strong>Although we met for the first time today, I get the sense that you\u2019re very neutral and grounded.<\/p>\n

Yasuo\u3000<\/strong>Thank you. I strive to keep an open mind by always putting myself in the other person\u2019s shoes.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Miho\u3000<\/strong>That\u2019s a good outlook to have. No one likes feeling invalidated. I hate being told no, or that my work isn\u2019t good, or that I shouldn\u2019t do this or that. When I have to say those things to my kids, I feel\u2014well, not great.<\/p>\n

Yasuo\u3000<\/strong>Your actions probably stem from worry, which is only natural. However, too much of that behavior can definitely create distance in a relationship.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Miho\u3000<\/strong>I don\u2019t want my children to ignore me. I definitely think I have to step back and let them go their own ways in order to fully discover themselves. I can\u2019t impose my own wishes on them, only offer support and encouragement towards their own goals.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

Yasuo\u3000<\/strong>Once, when I was taking a driving lesson in New York, the instructor told me not to look in the back mirrors or else I would lose a point off of the test. He explained that everyone needs to pay attention to their own actions, because you can\u2019t control the other drivers. Fixing your eyes on the road ahead keeps you focused and safe.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Miho\u3000<\/strong>We have to hold our own and try not to over-correct others. That\u2019s a good approach to parenting, too.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Yasuo\u3000<\/strong>When it comes to parenting, do you feel like you take more of a \u201cback seat\u201d approach?\u00a0<\/p>\n

Miho\u3000<\/strong>I suppose so.\u00a0 My biggest realization to date was that I have to let my children make their own mistakes. Protecting them from every little thing doesn\u2019t teach them any valuable lessons, it only prohibits them from growing as an individual.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Yasuo\u3000<\/strong>Making mistakes and learning from them can be wonderful. Women who raise children definitely grow in maturity, and I find that quite attractive.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Miho\u3000<\/strong>Everything lies in the eyes of the beholder. Self-love triumphs all other forms.<\/p>\n

Yasuo\u3000<\/strong>I couldn\u2019t agree more.<\/p>\n

Miho\u3000<\/strong>We often envy in others what we feel most insecure about. It\u2019s a sad way to exist. Life is long, and I want to enjoy it. Even when things are tough, I need to stay strong and focus on my own path. That way, I\u2019ll be prepared for any challenge that comes my way.\u00a0<\/p>\n
