“I keep coconut oil and tea tree oil on me always. They're nature's miracle workers,” said Nicole once. “Tea tree oil, also known as melaleuca oil, is an essential oil that comes from steaming the leaves of the Australian tea tree. When used topically, tea tree oil is believed to be antibacterial. Tea tree oil is commonly used to treat acne, athlete's foot, lice, nail fungus and insect bites,” says the Mayo Clinic.

"I don’t dance…I WERK," she captioned one notorious video on Instagram this year, in which she worked out in a bikini. She could be seen doing elevated single-leg lunges with overhead presses, holding dumbbells and also some cardio. “Regular aerobic exercise can help you live longer and healthier. After all, aerobic exercise can reduce health risks, keep excess pounds at bay, strengthen your heart and boost your mood. It can also reduce your risk of death from all causes,” says the Mayo Clinic.
