Erin has had a long and successful career as a model
Erin O'Connor reveals the secrets behind how the models at London Fashion Week will be keeping up with the pace of it all.
You may not be taking part, or even attending but it doesn't mean that we couldn't do with a bit more energy as it comes towards the end of the week.
The Supermodel's favourite Fashion Week snacks are Nature's Plus Acai Energy Bars. She says: "Models love these as they're packed full of antioxidants and nutritious superfoods and are perfect for keeping energy levels up when they're rushing from show to show."
Perfect for you rushing from meeting to meeting then. Plus they're wrapped in dark chocolate, the ultimate indulgence. 
Erin is the CEO founder of Model Sanctuary, the place where models facing the fast paced schedule of international fashion weeks can relax and recharge - where can we find one for us non-models?
The Model Sanctuary's resident nutritionist Alli Godbold comments on the Acai energy bars, she says: "I love the Nature's Plus Energy Bars - these are great as snacks when models are on the run as the bars help to boost energ levels - they contain a good level of protein keeping blood sugar levels stable, so a much better alternatice to a regular chocolate bar."
Who doesn't love a good cup of tea? Instead of the regular tru Pukka Detox Tea, it's perfect thing to sip first-thing to help clear the system of the the after-effects of the night before.
Erin says: "We all love Pukka Teas at the Model Sanctuary - there's a blend for every occasion. Detox is great for models to drink in the morning and the Three Tulsi and Chamomile blends are especially good for calming pre-show anxieties."
Alli says: "Truly delicious and far more hydrating that regular tea and coffee. I would recommend this tea to any model who wants clear skin and bright eyes."
And once the hectic week is over, we all want to reboot the system. The best way to do this is to top up on skin-saving antioxidants by taking Pukka Vitalise powder.
Alli says: "Pukka's Vitalise powder is a wonderful antioxidant product - blended with juice or water it not only tastes good but its high level of anthcyanins also give the skin a real boost after a period of stress."
Now you know how they do it, take some of their tips and see if they can help you through the week that little bit extra. 
Alli has also provided us with some tips on how to stay Catwalk Fit. Now we know we'll never be the size of a model, but surely it can't hurt to hear how they do it?
1. Eat regularly to ensure a good level of energy. Eat a good breakfast with protein such as egg, smoked salmon, yoghurt, nuts and seeds, as this will keep you going until lunch time.
2. A healthy diet should include wholegrains, fruit and vegetables, pulses, nuts and seeds, and (for non vegetarians) meat, chicken, fish and eggs. These food will supply you with plenty of essential nutrients and help to maintain good energy levels.
3. Reduce your intake of sugar, refined carbs ( anything made from white flour), and stimulants: tea, coffee, chocolate and cola drinks as these all cause your energy levels to yoyo up and down.
4. Drink plenty of water for a healthy body. Water hydrates you and helps with detox – so good for the skin. Dehydration leads to loss of concentration and energy.
5. Make sure you eat a portion of good quality protein at every meal – ideally choose fish, chicken, egg.
6. Ensure you get the essential fats needed for good skin and hair by eating oily fish such as salmon and mackerel, as well as raw nuts and seeds every day.
7. Hair, skin and nails all need a good intake of zinc from the diet – best sources are fish, seeds, wholegrains and leafy green vegetables.
8. Decrease toxins by cutting right down on alcohol, caffeine and processed foods and eat plenty of broccoli and rocket for good liver health – a healthy liver is crucial for good skin.
9. Boost your digestive health by taking a probiotic supplement every day and avoid foods which you know cause you bloating (for many people wheat and dairy are problematic).
10. Take a good quality multi vitamin and mineral supplement to ensure basic levels of essential nutrients eg. Nature’s Plus Gold.
