We last saw you grace the pages of LW Mag back in 2013. How has life been treating you since then and how much have you changed as a person?
A lot has changed since my last feature. I have had a very successful modelling career and really achieved a lot that I’ve wanted to. I’ve grown in my job, in myself and I’ve become a driven woman.
Most importantly, I fell head over heels in love in 2014. I got marries to this wonderful man that loves me, encourages me and makes me very happy.

You also haven’t been in front of the camera for some time. Why, and what was it like posing again for this feature?
I did my last shoot in December 2014. Yes, it has been some time since I last did a shoot, just because of all the planning that took place last year for our wedding. I feel excited to be back and do what I love, and I’m honoured that my first shoot back is to be featured in LW Mag.

What did you think of our golf course inspired shoot and which scene did you feel the sexiest in?
It was a lot of fun. I’ve been wanting to do a sporty, sexy shoot for some time, so it was perfect. It was a great idea, something different and I think viewers will enjoy it. My favourite scene was in the bunker. Nothing beats shooting a lady in a bikini. Sand + bikini = sexy.

Which part of your body gets the most attention from the opposite sex?
My eyes. That’s what caught my man’s attention and he has told me that hey are captivating.

You recently got hitched. What has the experience of been married been like?
Wow, words cannot explain. The experience has been a dream and I would do it all over again, I’m truly blessed and have found a soulmate.

We’re sure you still get a lot of pick-up-lines thrown your way. How do you let the unlucky guys down easy and let them know you’re taken?
This one is quite simple, I try avoiding this by not accepting randoms on social media and keeping my distance from places that can cause this type of behaviour. But, when it does happen, I clearly state – sorry but I’m taken and show my beautiful wedding rind.

In you opinion, what’s the best way for a guy to approach a girl?
In my experience, a guy should be himself, no pick-up-lines. He mustn’t be arrogant in his approach because that, to me, is the biggest no no. Just be polite, friendly and be a complete gentleman and you will have that lady in the bag.

The first date. What should it entail?
Any lady likes a romantic dinner. But I actually wouldn’t mind ice-skating, something outdoors maybe or something fun and exciting.

They say blondes have more fun. What’s your take on this?
Well I’ve been a blonde and a brunette, and I think both have fun.

If you could be any celebrity for a week. Who would you choose to be and what would you get up to?
I can’t say any one celebrity, but I would love to be a Victoria Secret model for a week. I think and lady in this industry would choose this over any celeb any day. In that week I would just love to experience the life of a Victoria Secret model, the travelling, winning and dinning, the clothes and just overall being a super model.

What is a day in the life of Juleigh like?
My day starts with happy thoughts, then work and then some me time at the gym. I then get some food to cook, go home to my doggies (Scottish Terriers) and take them for a walk. I then wait excitedly for my husband to get home and then sit down, just the two of us, for dinner.

What 5 things do you wish you could tell your younger self?
1. Don’t date at a young age.
2. Don’t trust every person.
3. Believe in yourself.
4. Focus on your career.
5. Keep you family very close.
