Joel Christie, The Daily Telegraph, reports
As far as alarm clocks go, there's nothing
quite as effective as two puppies.
Each day, Adelaide-born, LA-based actress Teresa Palmer awakes to let
her two dogs out from their "dog dungeon", a soundproof rock room
attached to the side of the house she shares with actor/director boyfriend Mark
Webber in Beachwood Canyon, a community in the Hollywood Hills.
"We call it that because it's decked out with all this dog
furniture and toys and they absolutely love it," Palmer laughs.
Mixing together an almond milk protein shake, the recently turned
27-year-old sits outside by the pool and watches Kohda Bear, her labrador pit
bull, do about 20 laps while monitoring the online health scrapbook she
co-edits, Your Zen Life.
Then it's time to work out, which Palmer tries to do between four and
six days a week, be it Pilates, kettle bell classes at her gym Equinox, or
hiking.
"I love to run through Griffith Park and take the hike to The
Observatory, which has one of the best views in Los Angeles," she said.
"When I started doing it a few years ago I managed it in about 40
minutes but I've got it down to 30 minutes.
"Just because I'm so competitive with myself, I have to do it every
time in 30 minutes now otherwise I'm just ... not happy."
On this particular day Palmer and Webber head off to a pool party being
thrown by US dance music maestro, Moby, in his "beautiful, historic
castle".
"It's one of the most amazing houses I've ever seen," Palmer
says.
"(Moby) is a sober guy so he has these parties with lots of great,
diverse people, which are really just like a big picnic," she says.
"There's no drinking and it has this great family vibe. It's so
nice just to be outdoors having fun."
By early afternoon, the Warm Bodies star is ready for a recharge of
energy. "I started meditating maybe eight months ago and it's very
grounding," she said.
"I do it for 20 minutes every day and it helps me understand the
thoughts coming in and out of my head."
At the moment most of those thoughts are The Fun In Forever, a film
Palmer and her beau have written and plan to star in, with filming beginning
later this year on Palmer's dad's South Australia property.She describes it as
a hybrid between The Tree Of Life, starring Brad Pitt and Jessica Chastain, and
Blue Valentine, with Ryan Gosling and Michelle Williams.
"It's the most connected I've ever felt to a project and we're
literally throwing everything we have at it," she said.
"My mum is actually going to play my mum in the film, too.
"She's a very sweet, gentle, religious woman who has never acted
before and is very shy but she's excited."
Keeping with one of Confidential's favourite questions, we quizzed
Palmer on her beauty regimen.
"OK, I have one product that is my absolute favourite," she
says excitedly. "It's called Creme L/X by Artistry and it really has
changed my skin.
"I love it. I use it twice a day. I've tried not to be a person
that has to put on make-up before leaving house, so I really am mostly about
moisturiser."
The catch?
L/X costs about $400.
"It's definitely an investment, but if you are going to choose to
do with one beauty product I would say this is it, definitely."
Maybe next month.
