It's motivating when someone tells you it's possible to do something that seems impossible.
I am such a private person.
I never took modeling seriously because I was so busy with cheerleading.
Rob has been one of my biggest motivators. I constantly see the work he takes on, both on the field and off. He's definitely someone I admire.
I remember loving looking at J.Lo because she had a set of hips.
I was a dancer, so I always loved watching girls perform and dance and just always looked up to them and their bodies.
I didn't even aspire to be a model because I didn't see myself represented, even as simple as the freckles on my skin.
I'm used to homebody, work-mode Rob. Snuggles and movies. Once the offseason hits, we definitely have our fun times in Miami or Vegas, and he is the life of the party.
I like to think of my life as very spontaneous and new all the time.
We wake up and go to sleep with ourselves every single day. We see ourselves in the mirror from every angle. We know what we look like. We know what makes us happy about our bodies and what upsets us. And we don't need to value the opinions of others at all - especially from people who that we don't even know, or that we don't care about.
My birthstone is amethyst. I have one from my grandma that's kind of like my good-luck charm. If I'm anxious, I hold it.
I swear by Too Faced's Milk Chocolate Soleil matte bronzer. My boyfriend thinks I eat chocolate before I see him because it smells like it.
I love the Kopari Lip Glossy. I always have three of those. Every time I see them, I buy another one because I never want to run out.
If someone needs a bobby pin or a safety pin, I always have it.
I knew that if I was going to be a model, that it was going to be in the body type that I am. As an athlete, as a woman with hips and thighs and curves, that was me.
Even at the times that I've pushed myself to exhausting limits to get myself at my lightest weight, I did not feel comfortable in that skin.
Confidence is sexy. That's what 'Sports Illustrated Swim' stands for. They have this movement where you can just be beautiful no matter what shape, what size, your height, your body type, your ethnicity.
It's kind of tough to get noticed. Sure, I can kick my leg over my head, but how do I get noticed?
I feel like it's my duty to share my experience with self-acceptance. I don't want to bore people and talk about myself, but the biggest struggle for me was my body.
That always stuck with me. When I finished school in 2015, I started going to open calls in New York. But I was getting the same response every time: 'Get your measurements down. Take X inches off your thighs and hips.'
