1. She Prioritizes Her Privacy

Being a model, Ewers is in the public eye, which can make privacy difficult. However, she says that she doesn’t feel the need to share every aspect of her life on social media. She said in an interview with ELLE, “I see my job as a job, and my non-public life as my non-public life, and I don’t know why I must share my life on a regular basis with all people or else. I don’t need to see {that a} mannequin drinks espresso within the morning. It’s not very mysterious.” Ewers also said that she misses the ‘90’s, because the models back then were more private.

2. She Does A Variety Of Exercises

Ewers opened up about her fitness routine in an interview with ELLE. She says that she likes to do a variety of different exercises, and that she makes sure to work out regularly. “I work out with a personal trainer two or three times a week and I do yoga. I also do a combination of kickboxing and strengthening. It's very hard. I only started like a month ago.”

3. She Likes To Try New Things

Ewers lives in New York City, which is one of the culinary capitals of the United States. She tells ELLE that she takes advantage of the city’s cuisine and restaurants, and that she doesn’t like to eat the same thing all the time. “There are so many amazing restaurants and I like to try new ones. I love Italian and Japanese. There are great Japanese places in New York.”

4. She Doesn’t Wear Too Much Makeup

Even though Ewers is a model, she says that she doesn’t wear a whole lot of makeup. She tells ELLE that she only wears a lot of makeup when she has a job. She says that she keeps it simple on her off-days, to keep her skin healthy. “I keep it very simple in my free time because I use a lot of make-up on my job, but I like a little mascara at night and that's it, just a little moisturizer. My friend Hanne [Gaby Odiele], she's a model, she told me to use coconut oil. It's a great make-up remover and moisturizer and it just smells really nice too.”

5. She Spends Time Outside
