Stella Maxwell
My parents are both from Belfast. I have an Irish passport and a British passport, and I go back every summer and every Christmas, and sometimes I pop over during the year to say hi, and, of course, celebrate St. Patrick's Day.Collection: Christmas

Wellness is associated with happiness. When you're happy, you're feeling good in your mind and body. That ties into being healthy, eating well, and exercising regularly. It also ties into being excited about things - like getting up in the morning and having a healthy breakfast.Collection: Morning
Having a lot of friends and family around you - that's all a part of wellness.Collection: Family
Positivity helps with everything in life.
Belgium is half French-speaking and half Flemish, and I was born on the French side. So we spoke it a lot - like, in kindergarten, it was almost all French. But then I moved to New Zealand when I was 10, where we obviously spoke English all the time, so I lost the French a little bit.
Being a Victoria's Secret Angel has really built up my confidence. It's such an exciting thing to be able to do as a model. It's the best thing you can possibly do. It's such a special feeling that it's something so hard to actually describe.
The message I want to send out is that women are sexy.
A perfect handbag is both functional and stylish. Of course you want to look cool, but you also want a bag that is going to work with you, not against you.
Day to day, I like to be comfortable. I definitely wear too many jeans; I have so many at home. But I like the whole dress-up thing, too. It's nice to do a little bit of both.
I love to show fans what I'm excited about and to get them excited.
For me, it feels empowering to walk down a runway in my underwear!
Confidence is something you have to embrace.
Every woman is confident in her own way, and it's all about finding what makes you confident.
Personally, I like to be at home, relax, and just be around my friends.
Reading is sexy!
Being confident without makeup is sexy.
It's a dream of mine to be a yoga teacher one day.
I love yoga. I'll film a class with my teacher, bring my mat with me, and just do it anywhere.
Change your routine regularly because your body gets used it, and it won't benefit you after a while. Mix it up - legs, arms and butt - so you work your total body and stay balanced.
If I wasn't a model, I don't know what I'd do, but I would be working just as hard at whatever it was.
I know I was not the hottest chick at school!
I like to do varied exercises, even just going for a hike with my friends or taking my dog for a walk, then going to see my trainer or going to yoga.
I've been doing a lot of yoga because it really centres me - mentally as well as physically. It's just an hour of my day that's always positive, and I always come out in a better mood.
I like doing weights and cardio and some jump rope.
I have a trainer, so i just go see him whenever I can.
I have a knack for always ending up in L.A. whenever I have some days off, because I really like going there... and I really like hanging out on the beach and all the hiking and opportunities and things you can do outside.
I love being outside; I love being in nature and exercising like that, other than in a gym in New York.
Throughout the years I've been working as a model, I've gathered lots of information on the process of creating fashion without even trying.
I think everybody goes through insecurities when they're younger, and everybody has to grow into their body.
Your personality counts for a lot and how you are to work with.
I don't feel awake in the morning unless I've showered.
Rosewater & Glycerin spray is amazing as a mist. I get it at health food stores. It smells good and is really hydrating.
Sometimes, when I'm just watching TV at home, I cut some aloe vera leaves and use the inside gel part as a mask. It's incredible how much comes out of every cut - you can just do a little slice. I buy the leaves at health food stores. You can get single whole leaves, and they kind of last you forever.
I've bleached my brows and things like that, but otherwise, I just let them be.
I believe that thinking positively and envisioning the best possible outcome can add to your achievements.
I keep my personal life personal. I don't talk about it.
It doesn't always work out, but if I visualize myself getting what I want, it can happen.
My parents are angels. They've always been encouraging of anything I do. Total support, 100 percent.
I was actually in New Zealand studying, and I just got discovered. I was with my friend shopping, and this woman came up to me and was like, 'Would you like to come in? I own an agency.'
I love the brands I'm signed to, and I'm lucky enough to have loyal, high-fashion clients that I work with every season. It's a blast.
I kind of feel like a global citizen - wherever I go, I have friends, so I don't get too lonely.
I had a friend that was really passionate about yoga, and she let me come with her to a couple of her classes - I just got really into it. The more you practise, the better you get. It's an hour when I'm not thinking about anything except breathing.
I love to just throw on a leather jacket with jean shorts and a T-shirt, or I'll pair a menswear-inspired blazer with jeans for a casual but chic look.
I prefer flats to heels. I donate shoes I'm not wearing anymore.
