La La Anthony has it all, and in the latest issue of JET, the actress, entrepreneur, wife of NY Knickerbocker Carmelo and mother gives the inside scoop on balancing her full-court lifestyle.
She currently boasts a top-selling book– The Love Playbook: Rules for Love, Sex and Happiness, the clothing line 5th & Mercer, and her reality television show, La La’s Full Court Life.
“I have an independent hustler’s spirit,” says Anthony about her many ventures. “That drives me to this day. I never want to ask anyone for anything.” Anthony sat down with JET magazine to reveal on how she maintains it all. Some of her tips include:
1. Never Stop Doing You – “The difference with me is that when I first got to know my husband I was already hosting MTV’s Total Request Live, so I came with a full career,” she says.
2. Accept That Having It All Will Require Blood, Sweat and Stilettos – When asked about balancing a family, career and friendships, Anthony responded saying, “It’s tough. I always say that people who think it isn’t aren’t being honest.”
3. Sex May Sell, But Love Keeps You Off the Market – “If you don’t try to spice it up and keep it sexy, anyone can get bored but the key is really taking time with each other,” advises Anthony.
