Another way Charli stays in shape is by dancing. However, in a recent interview with People she confessed that she had lost her passion on the dance floor until she went on Dancing with the Stars. "You know, dance wasn't something that I found fun anymore. It was something that was more just, I did to do it and, you know, it was over when it was over and I didn't look forward to it anymore. And I think with Dancing With the Stars every week, it's like, you know, I'm hearing from other people that I finally look like I'm having fun," she said. "I look happy and I'm feeling, kind of, those same things that I used to feel when I was younger, dancing, that I kind of lost and thought that I wouldn't find again," Charli says. "Just because it had been so long without being that excited for performance. To be able to do that again is really a full circle moment for me and just makes me really happy."

Charli loves Dunkin Donuts so much that she ended up teaming up with them. “The Dunkin Donuts collaboration came about after a lot of free promotion. For a while, everyone thought I was getting paid. But I was not. I just shamelessly promoted and promoted because I really wanted to work with them. And then they finally gave me the opportunity and I immediately took it. And since then, we’ve come out with two of my own drinks on the menu and sold-out cold brew nationwide. It was a really big hit for me. And it was a really great feeling seeing all of that come together. It was definitely a lot of my determination to work with Dunkin Donuts,” she told Forbes.

4. She Battled an Eating Disorder

In her early days of fame, Charli battled an eating disorder. She recently opened up about it on her reality show. “Whenever I first started TikTok ... I was very unhealthy,” she says. “I would lose a bunch of weight, and then gain a bunch of weight, and then lose it, and my comments would switch up with that,” she said. She confessed that after binge sessions she would make herself sick and then starve herself. “It was really bad,” she said. “You could see it because I’m short, so when I put on weight people would be like, ‘Oh, you gained weight,’ and then they’re like, ‘Oh, she lost so much weight, she looks so good.’” At her thinnest, she was trolled for being “skin and bones.” “I let it get to me and I wish I didn’t,” she added.

5. She Has a “Healthy” Mindset with Food Now

“It’s extremely hard to go from having a very unhealthy mindset with food to a healthy one, especially when you’ve dealt with it alone for so long,” she added, revealing that she ended up meeting other influencers and having an open discussion about it all. “At least now I have friends that I can talk to and that made me work so much harder to get a healthy relationship with food again.”

TikTok star Charli D'Amelio is giving a very sweet shout out to pal Markell Washington via her Instagram account. D'Amelio shared a picture of herself and Washington over the years, including one of her posing in the water in a pink bikini, laughing with the YouTube star. “No one does it like you @markellwashington. Happy belated birthday. I love you more than life. Thank you for being you. Family forever 🤍.” Markell responded in the comments, saying “Thank you so much char char 🥹😭❤️❤️ I love you so much lil sis, we are riding together forever until the wheels fall off PUURRR you mean so much to me 💙💙.” D'Amelio has made it clear family always comes first—here’s how she balances work and play.

1. Learning From Reality Show

D'Amelio says doing a reality show with her family taught her a lot. “I think I obviously learned a lot, just because you're watching yourself go through situations,” she says. “And I think a lot of it is just maturity and growing up, learning new things, and being able to see what you look like from an outside perspective. I think is really interesting. I feel like I'm probably very similar in a lot of ways, and in the ways that I'm different I don't even realize until other people watch it and they're like, ‘Whoa, okay. That's cool.’”

2. Embracing Individualism

D'Amelio loves that social media gives young people a way to express their creativity. “I think for a long time you were supposed to fit into this little box of how you’re supposed to be, and I feel like with this whole generation that grew up on social media, we’ve seen how fast trends change and how people can express themselves in different ways,” she says. “That’s something that’s so amazing and I feel like individuality is super important because it’s so easy to fall in line and be just like everyone else. Even before TikTok, I went to a school where we wear uniforms, and still, every single person would wear their uniforms in their own way.”

3. She’s a Dancer

Anyone who has watched D'Amelio’s TikTok videos knows she is an gifted dancer. "I've been a competition dancer my entire life,” she says. “I know a lot of people don't know that I study dance outside of TikTok, but it is something that I definitely want to do more of.”

4. Creating Perfume

D'Amelio is thrilled to create her own perfume. “If I looked at myself kind of five years ago, I would've never thought that I would be coming out with my own fragrance,” she says. “When the idea was [presented] to me, it really ticked a box that I didn't have. It was something that I didn't see a lot of other people my age pursuing, and I really didn't have a signature fragrance that I felt like made me, me. [I was] missing that one thing I have to do before I leave to make myself feel ready. And Born Dreamer really filled that for me. It's the perfect blend of fruity, floral, feminine, strong, and confident. It plays well off of everyone's natural skin smell."

5. Taking Time To Slow Down

D'Amelio likes to relax with spa treatments. “My life has been super busy lately, with Dancing with the Stars and upcoming projects,” she said in 2022. “When I get stressed, I like to take time for myself—alone time allows me to recenter myself and relax. With such a busy schedule, doing at-home spa treatments provides some calmness back into my life, too. I also like to stay organized with little reminders so I can check off things as they happen.”
