Leyna has a busy schedule, but that doesn’t mean she skips a workout. One of her secrets is working out in the mornings. Leyna talked about this in a “A Day In My Life” interview with Us Weekly. “Finding time to workout is really important for my mental health. It keeps me focused.”
She Goes After What She Wants
Leyna is all about manifesting. She tells Byrdie that she wakes up everyday and thinks about what she wants to happen and positive thoughts. “People always ask me, ‘How do I get into modeling?’ If you want it, you will go and get it. They ask for advice, and I tell them, Baby, you have all of the answers, you just have to want it. What you put it out in the world, you get back. Every single day I wake up and tell myself, Yes, you’re doing to do it. Yes, I love you. Yes, your hair looks good. Yes, your body looks good. I love every single inch of you. It’s fine—don’t try to be picture perfect; there’s no such thing. Just love what you are.”
She’s All About Self-Love
Leyna is all about self-love. She talked about accepting her body in her Byrdie interview. “Growing up, I was as skinny as a toothpick. I wanted to look like the women that I loved on television and in movies. I’ve seen my body grow, change, and mold. I’ve seen it get smaller, bigger, wider, and skinnier again. I love all of that. I love those transformations of what my body can do. I love my stretch marks and don’t mind if I gain a little weight. I appreciate all aspects of myself.”
She Stretches
One thing that Leyna incorporates into her daily wellness routine is stretching. “I used to be a professional dancer, so I stretch at least once a day,” she explained to Byrdie. “I move around and stretch out my ligaments to make sure that everything is working properly. It’s a full-body euphoria for me.”
She Takes Care Of Her Skin
Layna has amazing skin, and she makes sure to take care of it. “I’m minimal when it comes to products,” she tells Byrdie. “I love a good moisturizer because when my skin is clear, I feel beautiful. I love coconut oil for healthy hair and skin. I go to Sephora all the time, and I’m always looking for the newest skincare products. I love things that just feel good and smell good. I want to know that what I’m putting on my body is healthy.”
