1. She’s Living A Slower Pace

After Goff was traded from the Los Angeles Rams to the Detroit Lions, Harper and Goff had to leave Los Angeles behind. Harper had spent a lot of time living there, however, she tells the NYPost that the move has been good for her. “I have the opportunity to slow down and focus on things I haven’t been able to in a long time because of the fast paced lifestyle in LA. Of course missing my friends and family and I’m sure I’ll start missing the sunshine, but honestly and truly loving it here.”

2. She Horseback Rides

Harper is a big fan of going horseback riding, and has shared several photos of herself hanging with horses on her Instagram page. She posted this photo of herself and some friends going for a trail ride up to the famous Hollywood sign.

3. She Drinks Green Juice

One of the things Harper does to stay healthy is drink green juices. She posted this photo on Instagram of a bottle of green juice she bought. She humorously captioned the photo, “Hoping this will cancel out all the damage I will do at brunch this weekend.”

4. She Hikes, Sometimes With Her Dog

Harper spends a lot of time outside, and you can tell by looking at her Instagram. One outdoor activity she likes to do is go for a hike. And sometimes, she doesn’t always go for a hike alone. She posted this adorable photo of herself and her dog hiking in Towlsey Canyon Trailhead. She captioned the photo, “Roxie and I have mixed feelings about hikes.”

5. She Cares For Her Skin

““Many don’t realize how little control models have when it comes to what they are wearing and what is being done to their makeup and hair. Sometimes products don’t agree with our skin, but have to be applied for a specific look. Photo-ready makeup is generally very heavy and when it is applied day-after-day, it can take a toll on your skin. My skin is prone to breakouts, so after I wrap a shoot, the first thing I do is take off my makeup with a makeup remover wipe—so my skin can breathe. As soon as I get home (no matter how tired I am), I make sure to thoroughly wash my skin, tone, and apply a facial oil,” she has said, according to Skincare.com.

6. She Uses Coconut Oil

“I love coconut oil and use it for almost everything. It’s great for makeup removal, as a face mask, or to give my skin hydration after being out in the sun. Keep some in a small jar to throw in your purse—or, beach bag—as you never know when you might need some extra moisture,” she has said, according to Skincare.com.
