I'm kind of naturally thin, so if I were to completely crash diet, I'd almost be too skinny, and for the VS show, you want to look strong and muscular and fit. Leading up to the show, I eat everything that I normally do, but I moderate it.Collection: Diet
Every year around Christmas and Thanksgiving, I buy a bunch of toys for the sick children in the oncology center at the St. Louis Children's Hospital. I really love giving back and putting a smile on their faces, especially during the holidays.Collection: Thanksgiving
Honestly, I don't need to diet or cut things out to stay fit because I work out a lot.Collection: Diet
I don't think I picked up a 'Vogue' until I was, like, 16.
My parents raised me to put school first and modeling and extracurriculars second.
If I didn't finish high school, I would wonder about that part of my life.
I aspire to be an icon in a womanly, healthy way. I don't want to be some skinny, gaunt model nobody can relate to.
I was super sporty in high school. I played tennis, field hockey, and lacrosse.
I put in oils and creams in my hair 3 times a day, and it just soaks it up, and then I have a bunch of special shampoos.
I'm a really active person. I feel gross when I'm not.
My favorite airport snack is probably either a smoothie with berries and Greek yogurt from Jamba Juice or an Auntie Anne's pretzel because I cannot walk past Auntie Anne's smelling that without eating it.
Pre-workout meal, I eat eggs over toast with cheese because I need that protein before I work out.
I like to mix cardio with bodyweight exercises.
My dad wanted to have a son, and then he ended up with my sister and I, so from the time we could walk, we were constantly playing sports.
I'm constantly cooking on social media.
My signature dish - something I've been making since I was 10 - is angel hair pasta with shrimp and feta in a white-wine basil sauce with tomatoes, because it's absolutely amazing.
I love making pastas and pizzas - carbohydrates.
I personally think cryotherapy is pretty amazing.
I'm blonde and a model, so you can imagine the constant damage my hair receives.
I make a honey, egg white, and lemon face mask. It helps to reduce the appearance of sun spots and pimples; plus, it's so nutritious and natural, what could be better!
I love Sunday Riley Hydro Active Face Oil, Clinique Acne Solutions Moisturizer Cream, and Weleda Skin Food if I'm working a lot, since it's so thick and hydrating.
If I do get a blemish, I use Clinique Acne Solutions spot treatment.
I actually broke my nose when I was 7 years old, and I'm always super conscious that it turns slightly one way. I have a slight bump in it, too, but I've found that if I put a bit of concealer on one side of the bump, it seems to blend in more.
I really love Pilates. It lengthens and strengthens without bulking the muscles.
Fragrance, to me, is a scent that you can call your own, have other people identify you with, and also express the vibes that you're feeling that day.
Hydration is key! I know that is an obvious one, but drinking tons of water and keeping your skin hydrated is very important.
I've been lucky enough to be surrounded by people that were always supporting me, and I never felt pressure.
I love cooking and baking in my free time and getting outside and walking around, as well as shopping and eating.
I take hair growth, natural vitamins and sleep on silk pillow cases.
You know how hard it is to be blonde? I have to get a highlight every month! Do you know how expensive that is?
I just love social media. I love that you can create your own image of yourself.
I want to build a brand for myself and get booked for being me, while others will get booked for being them.
Social media just plays this massive factor in all of our lives now, and also, the bloggers and influencers are coming in and taking our jobs as models.
I'm friends with a lot of influencers, and I'm very supportive. They want to come in and do what I'm doing, and I want to branch out to what they're doing.
I use Tata Harper Illuminating Eye Cream to depuff my eyes.
I love hair oils, lipsticks, and conditioners. I have so many.
I put on moisturizer on my face and leave-in conditioner in my hair before I go to bed. I'm blonde, so if I don't put in leave-in, my hair will break.
Beauty secrets are meant to be shared with the world!
I feel like you can eat everything that you want in moderation.
I have to have breakfast, or I will literally pass out.
My sister, mom, and I always make holiday treats like Christmas cutout cookies and red and green chocolate chip cookies.
We're being critiqued every day, whether you hear them critiquing you, or it's behind your back, whether it's the client, casting, friends, agents - you're constantly being judged, and you're constantly being denied!
We get put down a lot in this industry, and I think when you're really young and you're not used to it, it really hurts you.
I want to show people what it's really like to be in this industry. Because they only really see one side - the glamorous side - but there's so much more to it.
I've had a ranch house my whole life, so we'd go down there, be in nature, and just listen to country music. For me, it's very relaxing. When I hear it while I'm traveling or wherever I am, even working, it just mellows me out and brings me back home... It's comforting.
There are so many factors involved in picking a model for a shoot or show. If they want a brunette, then they're not going to go with me.
Not everyone's going to love you or what you do. Someone's always going to complain about something.
I am very good at washing my face in the morning and at night; I use a lot of moisturizer, too, because I think that's super important.
I have always had the same skincare routine.
I sleep at least nine hours a night - honestly. And I drink a lot of water.
