1. She Isn’t Fake

Reality TV is often associated with being inauthentic. However, Flowers doesn't want to add to that. "I don't want to do this fake nice thing," she explains to ET. "If you don't like me, for whatever reason, then we can just do our own thing. And that was, I think, the point that they captured with me doing that awful, awkward, flip the bird -- I don't think I've ever given anyone the middle finger, as you could probably tell in that scene -- I was just frustrated because it was yet again another fake conversation that I didn't want to have."

2. She Has A Structured Plan

When it comes to fitness, Flowers is all about structure. She explains that she needs this approach to Greenville Online News. “I appreciate a structured plan when it comes to working out. My schedule can be a little all over the place, so I find comfort in having consistency in fitness.”

3. She Thinks Before She Acts

Flowers is all about looking before she leaps. She says on the We Should Talk podcast that this helps her when shooting Southern Charm. “I would say just giving yourself time to take a beat before,” she says. “If you're in a heated conversation before reacting and really, really thinking about how something makes you feel rather than being impulsive and your reactions and to just stay consistent. That was something I really wanted to make sure I did. Going into it as, you know, as uncomfortable as it can be to say some things to someone, if I said that to another person, I wanted to be sure that I stayed consistent in what I was saying, no matter who I was talking to.

4. She Gets Her Vitamin D

Get some sun. “The best-known benefit of sunlight is its ability to boost the body’s vitamin D supply; most cases of vitamin D deficiency are due to lack of outdoor sun exposure. At least 1,000 different genes governing virtually every tissue in the body are now thought to be regulated by 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 (1,25[OH]D), the active form of the vitamin, including several involved in calcium metabolism and neuromuscular and immune system functioning,” reports the NIH.

5. She Likes Nature

Flowers shared an image of her right next to a giant turtle.”From a stroll through a city park to a day spent hiking in the wilderness, exposure to nature has been linked to a host of benefits, including improved attention, lower stress, better mood, reduced risk of psychiatric disorders and even upticks in empathy and cooperation,” says the APA.

“It's telling myself ‘you're beautiful!’ I think it's so important to tell yourself that every day and believe it, and know that you're amazing, and know that you're incredible and that there is only one of you. That's what's special,” she told Glamour UK.

2. She Said She’s Gone Vegan

Pinnock has said she’s gone vegan, avoiding animal products. “According to Harvard Medical School, there's an ever-growing amount of evidence that shows eating a vegan diet can help you live a long, healthy life. It can help lower your risk of type 2 diabetes and heart disease, aid in weight loss, and even help prevent colon and breast cancer, to name a handful of the benefits,” says our sister site Eat This, Not That!

3. She Doesn’t Skip Leg Day

“Leg day… 80kg.. this is the girl who couldn’t do a push-up a month ago,” she wrote once on an Instagram post. “There are many reasons for keeping the legs strong including reducing fall risk, improving metabolism, and getting out of a chair with more ease. Additionally, according to a British study done on twins, published in 2015, there is also a link between brain health and leg strength,” says the Mayo Clinic.

4. She Calls Little Mix Her “Family”

“Honesty. I love it when my friends can tell me, ‘Leigh-Anne, you're being a little bit of a diva, just slow your row.’ I love that. A friend that is there for me, I feel like that's so important. I'm very lucky to have the same group of friends that I had in school, and I'm still super close with them. I feel like I wouldn't be able to navigate the world without them. They're everything. Also my sisters in Little Mix, they're not even friends, they are sisters. They are my family.”

5. She Loves Her Kids

Pinnock shared some photos of her babies, too. “[Motherhood] has been the most incredible journey I've ever been on. I am just so in awe of them. And I feel like the luckiest person every day to wake up and see their smile and... I'm going to get emotional...” she told Glamour UK, welling up.

Brunella Horna, the Peruvian model, TV presenter and clothing entrepreneur, is in “Cancun.” She travels frequently, so it’s no surprise. “RUAAAA,” said one impressed follower. (In other photos, she poses with partner Richard Acuña.) How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Brunella Horna stays in shape and the photos that prove they work—and to get beach-ready yourself, don't miss these essential 30 Best-Ever Celebrity Bathing Suit Photos!

1. She Lifts Weights

Brunella works out with dumbbells and barbells. “You might learn weight training techniques by watching friends or others in the gym, but sometimes what you see isn't safe. Incorrect weight training technique can lead to sprains, strains, fractures and other painful injuries that may hamper your weight training efforts,” says the Mayo Clinic. “If you're just getting started, work with a knowledgeable weight training specialist — a physical therapist, athletic trainer or other fitness specialist who's familiar with proper weight training technique.”

2. She Does Cardio

“The American Heart Association recommends that everyone reach a minimum of 30 minutes of some form of cardiovascular exercise 5 to 7 days per week. This can be broken up into 10-minute time periods. This means that taking 3 walks of 10 minutes each would let you reach the recommended minimum guideline for reducing the risk of heart disease, diabetes, hypertension, and high cholesterol. You would also burn the same number of calories as you would if you walked for the full 30 minutes at 1 time,” says the Cleveland Clinic.

3. She Loves Dogs

Brunella has a dog. “Chemita y mamá 💖,” she captioned one photo of them. “One of the main benefits is that dogs force us to get up and move for routine and regular walks. A research study found that dog owners more likely report regular physical activity patterns, a healthy diet and ideal blood sugar levels compared to those who do not own dogs. This is beneficial to your heart health because increased physical activity helps strengthen your heart muscles, making it more efficient in pumping blood throughout your body and improving overall heart health,” says the Mayo Clinic.

4. She Loves the Beach

A walk in the beach can be great for your health. “Recent findings from the University of Exeter show that walking can curtail the hankering for sugar, both during the walk and for about 10 minutes afterward. Researchers’ findings suggest walking ultimately helps people lose weight not only by getting your heart and metabolism up but also by curbing those cravings for sugary snacks, like chocolate. By taking a short walk, the study found people are able to regulate their daily sugary treats intake — often by as much as half,” says the Cleveland Clinic.

5. She Wants to Keep Growing as a Person

She wants to grow, she said at the end of last year. “Adios 2021 ✨Gracias por tanto, he logrado muchas metas este año. Como también me dio la lección más grande de la vida, que solo me ha dado más fuerza 💪🏻 Te espero 2022, con muchas ganas de seguir creciendo.” Roughly translated: “Goodbye 2021 ,” she said at the end of last year. “Thank you so much, I have achieved many goals this year. As it also gave me the greatest lesson in life, which has only given me more strength 💪🏻 I look forward to seeing you in 2022, looking forward to continuing to grow 💞”

After Love Island, Higgins had a lot of opportunities. However, she tells The Independent that she learned that she had to take a break. “It was Michael Barrymore who gave me the advice. I was training for Dancing On Ice and he is a really, really lovely man. He knew by me that I was going through a bit of a time of it. I remember him saying to me, ‘You need to take a break because if these brands and everyone really do want you then they will wait for you.’ So I took his advice and it’s the best thing I ever did. And I would give the same advice to all the new Love Islanders.”

2. She’s Comfortable With Herself

Higgins tells The Independent that she has become a lot more comfortable with herself. “I am finally content. I am finally back to myself. Actually Mammy said it to me. It was about a year after Love Island, and I remember we had a FaceTime call, which we do every single day, and she started crying. And I said, ‘What’s happening? What’s wrong?’ And she said, ‘This is the first time I’ve seen you back to yourself.’”

3. She Swims

Higgins loves to spend time by the water. She shares a lot of photos of herself at the beach on Instagram. Higgins and her friend took a trip to the gorgeous Maldives, and she shared these photos. She captioned it, “We’ve arrived.” Higgins also posted these photos of herself on the beach at night from the same trip. She captioned it, “Sunset swims.”

4. She Has Support

Higgins opened up about her struggles with her body. She says that she became obsessed with working out and dieting. She tells the DailyMail that her loved ones helped get her out of this. “When you have good people around you, mammy as well, she noticed, she said ‘you've got too thin"’or whatever and I was like ‘yeah, yeah, yeah I know, I'm trying to sort it out."'

5. She’s Honest

Higgins wants to be an inspiration for young girls. She tells the DailyMail that she doesn’t want to hide parts of herself and be authentic. “I put on Instagram a picture of my grey hairs and honestly the amount of messages I got from younger girls, girls in their early 20s saying ‘oh my God, thank you so much for this, I've never shown anyone my grey hair, I keep it a secret but now I feel like I'm going to embrace it and not be afraid.’”
