1. She Focuses On Working Out, Instead Of Dieting

Chanel tells HollywoodLife that when it comes to wellness, she focuses on working out more, rather than dieting. She says that this allows her to still enjoy her favorite junk food, while staying in shape. “You need to work out! I mean a lot of people like to start themselves on cute diets but the truth is you can really eat whatever you want as long as you workout on a daily basis. I try to eat healthy but since I work out I still enjoy a large pizza by myself! But In & Out burgers and all those things, you can have those as long as you workout.”

Chanel is known for her sense of style. She loves to wear unique outfits and likes to take risks with fashion. She tells HollywoodLife that she knows her body really well, and this allows her to feel confident in what she wears. “Finding the right clothes that flatter your body is everything because in the past, I wasn’t as aware. Back when low-rise jeans were in, that was the worst thing ever for me.”

Chanel tells Flaunt magazine that, like many other people, the pandemic took a toll on her mental health. "At some point during the pandemic, I might've been going crazy. It was all the time I spent at home, people sending me conspiracy stuff. People made me feel like I was going insane." She says that she turned to meditation to help herself with these issues, and that it has been working really well for her. "Meditation has changed my life honestly," she said. "Meditation is key. Everyone needs to meditate, set aside time to mentally decompress."

During the pandemic, Chanel says that she started doing a lot more at-home workouts. She says that she even built a home gym to exercise in. “During the pandemic, I got really into working out on my own,” she told Flaunt. “Figuring out all of my own workouts. I have a mini Barbie looking gym in my garage, it’s really cute. The cuter the gym is, the cuter your workout clothes are, you get more ‘oh, I’m trying to look cute and do this.’”
