British model Jourdan Dunn is thrilled to announce the launch of her lifestyle newsletter. Dunn, 34, shared highlights of her life recently, including a selfie where she’s posing at a Pilates studio in one-piece workout gear. “I am over the moon to announce my brand new monthly newsletter ‘The Dunn Diaries’❤️ I’ll be sharing exclusive updates and personal stories, alongside the long-awaited return of my cooking and favourite recipes. Plus, I will be featuring my latest fashion and beauty finds, spiritual and wellness tips, current obsessions and so much more! My first entry is out now including my favourite Chicken and Pumpkin soup recipe, how to prepare for the Sagittarius new moon, my skincare journey and more,” she captioned the post. Here’s how the busy trailblazer takes care of her health and wellness.
She's an early Bird
Dunn learned to appreciate being an early riser during the pandemic lockdowns. “I wake up at 5am, and I’ll either do some stretches or jump rope, then I do a guided meditation,” she told Vogue. “I will read and then do some journalling or listen to a podcast, and drink a cup of herbal tea. And then, yeah, it’s basically an hour of silence and stillness. I don’t have to worry about someone calling my name, I can just focus and bring that time and energy onto me. I’ve realized that when I don’t do that, I’m off balance and ungrounded. It’s a ritual I have to do every day.”
Barre Workouts
Dunn enjoys boxing workouts and Pilates. "I love boxing, especially because I get to do it with my brother [the Kobox fitness trainer, Antoine Dunn]. My brother introduced me to boxing at Kobox, which is such a fun environment. I step into the ring, get my sweat on and feel more energised. It's a fun way for your mind and body to let out stress,” she told Harper’s Bazaar. “I feel there is no point working out if you're not trying to enjoy it. When I'm exercising, I want to be enjoying what I am doing. I used to just go to the gym and use the machines which I liked, but I need other things, like boxing and Pilates, to keep me interested."
Wellness Routine
Dunn loves meditation as part of her wellness routine. “Wellness is a part of my everyday life and I think it’s very important. I like to do practices that keep me grounded, especially as I’m always traveling and around other people. I love to do a grounding meditation, and carry certain stones, like smoky quartz, to help me ground myself. Even just lying on the floor outside, dancing or cooking, and listening to affirmation music are all things that bring me balance.”
Balanced Diet

Dunn tries to follow a balanced diet without too many rules or restrictions. "I genuinely like eating healthily but I do enjoy fried food, especially fried chicken, so it's about finding alternatives that suit me,” she told Harper’s Bazaar. “For example, if you are a fiend for rice – and I used to adore rice – try cauliflower rice. Or, instead of doing fried chicken, you can do a baked chicken. It's all about compromise."
