1. This is How She Treats Herself

“Right now, I feel like I don't have much time to treat myself because, in between working full-time, taking care of Tuulikki, and being in the middle of a renovation, there's just no time left for myself. Still, I know that self-care is so important to be my best self. I love having Emma, my acupuncturist, come over, set up in the garden, and do a long 90-min session. Acupuncture is something that deeply relaxes me, and I feel the results for a while after, too. I feel so different after a session; my body feels no pains or aches, and it's just fluid and balanced,” she tells the Zoe Report.

2. This is the First Thing She Does When She Wakes Up

“Feed my baby. I do that half asleep because she wakes up at 6 a.m. I always feared having to get up early, but it's been surprisingly easy. I never used to be a morning person, but it's crazy how you automatically adapt once you have a baby who depends on you,” she told the Zoe Report.

3. This is Her Favorite Drink

“I’m just a sucker for a good lemonade!” she told W. “Try simply tossing an orange or a few small clementines into your bag for an on-the-go snack that doesn't require refrigeration. Grapefruit also makes a great addition to a leafy green salad, or try broiling a halved grapefruit with a sprinkle of brown sugar or drizzle of honey. Lemons and limes aren't often eaten whole, but they provide great flavor in fish, salad dressings, desserts and beverages,” says the Mayo Clinic.

4. She Likes Baths

“I prefer audiobooks in the tub so I can have my eyes closed in the dark with some candles lit,” she told W. “Taking a warm water bath can increase blood flow and it can also reduce pain and inflammation,” says the Cleveland Clinic. Also: “A recent study shows that cold water immersion like an ice water bath and contrast water therapy (a series of brief immersions in warm and cold temperatures) can improve the short-term feeling of relaxation in athletes, which can after their performance and well-being.”

5. She Protects Her Skin

“Lying the sun is not good for you,” she says. Apply that SPF before going out. “Any exposed part of your body — including your earlobes, scalp and lips — can burn. Even covered areas can burn if, for example, your clothing has a loose weave that allows ultraviolet (UV) light through. Your eyes, which are extremely sensitive to the sun's UV light, also can burn,” says the Mayo Clinic.

Elsa Hosk, the Swedish Victoria's Secret icon and supermodel, is “Missing this place,” she said of a tropical locale by a sparkling blue pool, by which she posed in a swimsuit. The talent is often in sunny places looking glamorous. How does she stay so fit?

1. Here’s Her Take on Keeping Healthy

“I think you don't have to eat healthy all the time. You can have days where you're just, I just go with the flow. Like if I really want something and I tell myself I can't have that, then that's all I want. And I'm gonna be like eight, five portions of it. So I have to just be like, I can eat anything I want, but just be balanced. The key to motivating yourself is to remember that feeling of how it feels afterwards and like really the hardest part is actually getting to the gym. It's not actually doing the workout. I think because when you're in it, it's sort of fun. If you find a workout that you like, that is. But just getting to the gym, just go and then it's half of the job is done,” she told Bik Bok.

2. This is What She’s Learned From Stylists

“I feel like I've learned from stylists just by trying a bunch of stuff, being a model, what looks good on my body, little styling hacks, like how the clothes fit. So like tailoring and stuff like that.” She added: “I like dressing up a lot just randomly. Just because I I'm feeling myself.” She gets inspired by “art, movies, on the street, on Instagram, just like seeing one person and just, you know, someone like putting something together in an unexpected way and just being really inspired by that and like going home and thinking like, you know, yeah, just inspiration. But yeah, also by confidence in people that have their own unique style, I mean, not necessarily that I would just look good in that, but it's inspiring to see when people just go for it and like just totally are their own,” she told Gina Tricot.

3. This is What She Eats Before the Runway

Elsa eats “something healthy like carrots and hummus” before the runway, she tells Elle. “Hummus, in essence, is just mashed up chickpeas. Traditionally, a little bit of olive oil, garlic, lemon juice, salt, tahini, and some spices are added to this creamy base as well. None of the ingredients in hummus raise the "unhealthy" red flag. On the contrary, thanks to it's head honcho ingredient (chickpeas), hummus is a macro- and micro-nutrient goldmine. The important key? Eating it in moderation,” says our sister site Eat This, Not That!

4. This is What She Eats After a Runway Show

“The first thing I eat after a fashion show is pizza. Pizza, pizza, pizza, pizza,” she told Elle. “Most of the evils of pizza lie in the crust. Aside from being stacked with calories, they're basically void of any nutrients. And that's because most pies are made from refined white flour which will spike your insulin levels causing you to crave more and more. The bottom line: The less crust you indulge in, the better, so opt for thin-crust over regular, deep dish, or stuffed crust,” says our sister site Eat This, Not That!

5. This is What She Loves About Being a Model

Her favorite thing about being a model is “meeting people and finding friends that do similar things that you do and being creative. I love being in front of the camera. I love performing. Like I'm not necessarily that person in my personal life, but I like putting on a character and getting to be someone for the day. If I'm shooting an editorial and it's like, it's gowns, I will become a different character or if it's like a Gothic story, I'll be like more dark and like it's fun,” she told Bik Bok.

Model Elsa Hosk has never been afraid to post several stunning photos on Instagram; she's a Swedish model and former Victoria's Secret Angel, after all. As if to prove it, she just posted a stunning beach selfie on her Instagram story. In it, Hosk posed in a rose bathing suit and sunglasses, with her hair flowing, and the ocean in the background. She wrote on the photo, “Feel so cool.” How does she stay so fit?

Hosk tells ELLE that while she makes sure to eat healthy, she doesn’t restrict herself so much. Hosk says that she avoids dieting, as it doesn’t work for her. "I am really bad at being on a diet. As soon as I tell myself, 'You have to eat this or that,' I am going to do the exact opposite, so I didn't tell myself anything. I just tried to stay away from processed food.”

5. She’s On A Mostly Plant-Based Diet

In an interview with Coveteur, Hosk revealed that she was inspired to adapt a plant-based lifestyle. “I try to eat healthy and a plant-based diet. I watched the documentary What the Health, and it affected me a lot. I was like, ‘OK, I have to change how I eat.’ In Sweden we eat a lot of dairy, cheese, and eggs, so I’ve cut that out for the past 5 weeks and I’m seeing a big improvement in my skin and in my belly. And I feel much better. It makes you realize there’s definitely something to it.”

Elsa Hosk is a model, but in a certain way, she's just like the rest of us because she's "ready for summer," as she captioned a new set of photos featuring Bikini Lovers swimwear.

1. She Does Squats

Hosk broke down her diet and health secrets to Pedestrian. She says that she isn’t afraid of having a cheat day once in a while. “When you work out as much as we do, you’d be crazy not to have a cheat day. I have to for my sanity. I’m not one to obsess over anything because once I start doing that, all I want is like pizza. The more I chill, the easier it is. I’m balanced. If I wanna eat pizza, I’ll eat pizza. If I wanna have a burger, I’ll do that.”

2. She Runs

Hosk revealed some of her favorite workouts to Pedestrian. She revealed her go to lower-body exercise. “I like to do some squats. You can do them everywhere, especially if you only have a few minutes.” Those squats are clearly paying off, since she’s got amazing legs.

Hosk tells Pedestrian what her favorite cardio exercise is. Hosk says that she is an avid runner. “I’ve been running a lot, which is one of my favorite things to do because it really clears my head and is very meditative.” "Physical activity may help bump up the production of your brain's feel-good neurotransmitters, called endorphins. Although this function is often referred to as a runner's high, any aerobic activity, such as a rousing game of tennis or a nature hike, can contribute to this same feeling," says the Mayo Clinic.

4. She Eats Healthy
