Gisele Bündchenmay be a supermodel,yoga master,nature lover, andjiu jitsu purple belt, but she’s only human when it comes to a very common aggravation — home renovations.
When asked about her upcoming projects during an intimate, IWC Schaffhausen event for Art Basel Miami on Friday, Bündchen revealed one in particular is testing her a little.
“I’m doing construction! It’s incredible — doing construction in Miami takes a lot of patience,” she said.
The supermodel, who’d just detailed her 20-year meditation practice, then explained how she’s handling the current challenge.
“I’m exercising all those years of meditation — it’s very useful, I’m not going to lie,” she said.
Bündchen owns multiple Miami homes, including a new one ona horse farmand a Miami Beach property withher ex, Tom Brady.

Luckily, her meditative approach seems to be working. “I have to tell you, having a moment to free yourself, to breathe, to really just nourish yourself first, I think it goes a long way. For me, when I don’t do it, I feel a huge difference,” she revealed.
Relishing life’s moments is a top priority for the mother of two, a brand ambassador for the legendary Swiss watchmaker.
“Managing time is the most important thing because time is the most valuable thing we have — the most valuable currency we have,” she tells PEOPLE.

And when it comes to managing her homes, children, self-care and more, the supermodel reveals she uses one particular method to keep track of it all.
“I actually have a color-coordinated calendar,” she says.
“Each of my children has a color, work has a color, my personal activities have a color. Because this way I can see — if I have all the colors every day, it means I’m spending the time doing all the things that are important to me.

The supermodel also shared that shehas some competition for her IWC Schaffhausen watches, and it comes from her daughter, Vivian, 11, who Bündchen explains has her eye on the Ingenieur Automatic 40 model, which costs $11,700.
“It’s beautiful, it’s kind of sporty, and I’m very sporty. But, it’s versatile,” she explained of the timepiece, adding that while Vivian is “not yet” allowed to borrow the accessory, “believe me, she’s taking an eye on my watches, like, ‘Mom, I like that, are you going to give that to me, are you saving that for me?’ ”
