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.

Having a lot of friends and family around you - that's all a part of wellness.
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.
All my family look Irish. They act Irish. My sister even has red hair... it's crazy. I'm the one that doesn't seem Irish. None of the kids in my family, my siblings, speak with an Irish accent... we've never lived there full-time; we weren't born there. We just go there once or twice a year. It's weird. Our parents sound Irish, but we don't.
Where would we be without our friends? Honestly, every friend is so unique and special. I have my friends back in New Zealand; I have my friends in New York and California. Then you have your friends who are your family. Barbara Palvin falls into that category. I have a lot of love for all my friends.
Your personality counts for a lot and how you are to work with.
I'm really into oat milk.
For me, the runway is fun. I try to just chill out and look at faces in the crowd if I can.
Eating right is a natural defense against the sun. Sweet potatoes, dark chocolate, pomegranates, leafy greens, almonds, and teas all help against the sun. Otherwise, 100 SPF will do.
I'm kind of obsessed with Instagram. I like the fact that you can really express yourself. Obviously, there are limits, but you can always show a lot of your personality and day to day things that no one would ever know.
I try to just, you know, make sure I wash my face in the morning and at night before I sleep.
I love yoga. I'll film a class with my teacher, bring my mat with me, and just do it anywhere.
Yoga is a great thing to do because you can just practice it by yourself in your hotel.
It's a dream of mine to be a yoga teacher one day.
I try to always eat a balanced diet. I never try to change it too much.
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.
Every woman is confident in her own way, and it's all about finding what makes you confident.
There's some really good vegan protein shakes you can get, and I'm a big fan of matcha lattes instead of having espresso.
I used to be terrible and go to bed with my make-up on, and that's just not good for your skin.
Having a healthy body and healthy mind is always something I think about.
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 believe that thinking positively and envisioning the best possible outcome can add to your achievements.
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.
VS is a family. Everyone loves each other.
My first beauty moment was when I was probably four years old. My sister and I snuck into my mom's room and got into her makeup. We put on blush and lipstick and eyeshadow. I will always remember that day.
When I first started working with Victoria's Secret, I wanted to get stronger. That was something I wanted to build on and really be as strong and powerful as I could be. Working with Victoria's Secret, I started really thinking about my body and my muscles.
I like to scrub everything down because I've usually got so much makeup and body makeup and products on. I have to shower every day.
People forget that Instagram is there for fun, and I try not to lose sight of that. It's not as serious as everyone thinks it is.
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.
Victoria's Secret have an instant bronzing gel; that's what they use on all our shoots.
Sometimes, when you roll out of bed, you don't want to be photographed by the paparazzi. Usually you like to know when you're being photographed. I've learnt that, as a public figure, you have to up your game and be prepared. Ideally, you try not to roll out of bed without brushing your hair - just chuck a brush through it, make a little effort.
The atmosphere of a shoot is so intimate, while a show is more of a celebration of that designer and their work and the models coming together to walk in the clothing and present the frocks in their unique way.
Beauty really has such a wide field of interpretation. I guess that's why it's forever fascinating.
I do hikes; I do swimming.
Positivity helps with everything in life.
Rosewater & Glycerin spray is amazing as a mist. I get it at health food stores. It smells good and is really hydrating.
I can't live without coconut oil.
I always wear my Lip Lights gloss from the Karl Lagerfeld and ModelCo line. I like this brownish pink called St. Tropez Sunset. It's like a take on your own lip colour but not too heightened. If I'm going out, I do the red.
Being confident without makeup is sexy.
Exercise is great for your mental health!
I've bleached my brows and things like that, but otherwise, I just let them be.
Your outlook is pretty happy and positive after yoga. It's a good way to open up and center.
I think everybody goes through insecurities when they're younger, and everybody has to grow into their body.
I really like walking for brands where I like the clothes, because it's a big part of the whole thing.
I always like to feel comfortable and to dress how I feel.
I keep my personal life personal. I don't talk about it.
I really like Bioderma. I really like to wipe my face with it, like, every night.
For me, off-duty hair means no products. I have people touching my hair almost every day, so when I'm not working, I try to let my hair relax.
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 love to show fans what I'm excited about and to get them excited.
