1. She Rides a Skateboard

Flowers posted an Instagram movie of her riding — and sometimes falling off — a skateboard. Beyond being fun, skateboarding relieves stress and improves mental health, according to a recent study by the University of Southern California.

2. She Drinks Red Wine

Flowers posted pics of her visits to California’s wine country in Napa, with the caption, “You had me at merlot… and Napa. Definitely had me at Napa. Beautiful time, wine, food & company.” Antioxidants in red wine called polyphenols may help protect the lining of blood vessels in the heart, according to the Mayo Clinic.

3. She’s Close to Her Family

Flowers appears to have a close relationship with her parents, Garry and Robin Flowers. Having a close relationship with family helps a person cope with stress, can increase longevity, improves psychological well-being and is good for cardiovascular health, according to the Piedmont health system.

4. She Avoids the Drama

When she joined the Southern Charm cast, Flowers relied on previous cast members to help her navigate the tensions among older members. “Leva [Bonaparte] helped me out a lot,” Flowers told Decider. “She was really like big sister, and told me to just stay true to myself and not like I said, let any other people’s opinions sway me — and that I should just take advantage of the fact that I’m not on anyone’s side. So, if I come in and something happens, I shouldn’t be afraid to speak up to what I think. But that was really it. Not to be afraid to speak up if need be.”

5. She Gets Lots of Sun

Flowers’ Instagram feed is full of images of her sunbathing or otherwise enjoying the outdoors. Sunlight is necessary to boost the body’s vitamin D supply, the National Library of Medicine reported. Most cases of vitamin D deficiency are due to lack of outdoor sun exposure, it said. But medical experts advise the use of adequate sunscreen or other UV protection and to limit the amount of sun exposure to avoid damaging skin.

1. She Loves a Latte

Hawkins’ go-to coffee drink is a hazelnut latte. “Since coffee is naturally caffeinated, it can be used to give you an extra boost of energy before you work out,” according to Penn Medicine. “Coffee can also boost your mood and reduce the amount of pain you feel during or after a workout, therefore allowing you to exercise more frequently and for longer periods of time.”

2. Lots of Swimming

Hawkins frequently travels to hot beach locations, which means lots of pool and ocean swimming. “Although swimming can be great for the heart, lungs, blood vessels, and muscles, it doesn't do much for the bones,” says Harvard Health. “That's why swimmers need to supplement their aquatic training with some weight-bearing exercise, like strength training, walking, dancing, stair climbing, or gardening.”

3. Work That Makes Her Happy

Hawkins wants to go back to work she is passionate about, which is a great way to support mental health and happiness. “Before I went in I was on my acting journey,” she says. “I trained in musical theater. One day I'd like to go back into musical theater and just continue with my acting. I was always going to come out and go straight back to what I was before. I did Love Island but in terms of reality. For now I just want to focus on my passion and what I've been doing since I was a child.”

4. Rosé All Day

Hawkins enjoys drinking rosé wine, which should be consumed strictly in moderation. “Health care providers don't recommend that you start drinking alcohol for heart benefits, especially if you have a family history of alcohol use disorder,” says the Mayo Clinic. “Too much alcohol can have many harmful effects on the body. But if you already enjoy a glass of red wine with your evening meal, drinking it in moderation may improve your heart health.”

5. Real Emotions

Hawkins was accused of “toxic femininity” during her time on Love Island, but says it’s not a true representation of her character. “I had many times when I was in tears that wasn’t shown on TV,” she says. “There were real emotions. Maybe it was a case of big personalities clashing, it was so intense and arguments are inevitable when we were in a confined space together 24 hours a day. But it was definitely not a case of toxic femininity. When people meet me they will see the real me, I’m definitely not a villain. Now I’m out of the villa I’m looking forward to people seeing my fun side and my big heart. I’m a genuinely lovely person.”

Her Instagram feed is filled with photos of her parents and siblings as well as her friends, who keep her grounded despite her sudden rise to fame. "Make a list of activities you'd like to try together and hang it somewhere the whole family can see," suggests the Mayo Clinic. "Instill the importance of forming strong relationships by being kind to your loved ones. Kids will learn that giving — not receiving — can create real happiness. Schedule regular virtual time with loved ones who are not in your household."

Olivia’s diet is all about balance. While she loves drinking green juice, she also indulges in junk food on occasion. “Don’t let the green drink fool you...I like long romantic walks down every chip aisle,” she captioned this image of her nutrient-dense drink. "Fresh veggies are a perfect smoothie addition — they’re an awesome source of vitamins and minerals with very few calories," says the Cleveland Clinic. "Spinach and kale are great in smoothies. They’re low in sugars and calories and provide more iron and protein than fruit does. They’re also bursting with fiber, folate and phytonutrients such as carotenoids, saponins and flavonoids."

The latter was on display on social media yesterday; O’Brien just posted a new set of bathing suit shots today from her vacation to Mexico.

Read on to see 5 ways Olivia O’Brien 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 Channels Her Negativity Into Music

O’Brien, like many other songwriters, likes to draw from her personal experiences to write songs. She tells Cosmopolitan that she would channel her negative experiences into lyrics. “I used to write pretty much only about when I was sad and when I was going through something that was really hard for me,” she said.

2. She Has A Lot Of Support

In an interview with OnesToWatch.com, O’Brien talked about how she achieved fame. She says that she’s lucky to be on a good label and have a lot of supportive people around her. “I think if I didn't have my label and those people helping me, I would literally still be living in Napa and wouldn't be doing music. Because ‘i hate u, i love u’ was the only song that I released.”

3. She Pushed Herself

O’Brien tells OnesToWatch.com that she really pushed herself when it comes to her career. She says that this helped with her success. “If I hadn't got on it, and told myself, ‘I want to do this now,’ I wouldn't be anywhere, and that song would've just came and passed. I would've just been left behind. So I'm happy that I had the initiative and went for it.”

4. She Moved Past The Bullying

O’Brien is open about the amount of bullying she faced when she was young. However, she tells OnesToWatch.com that she has moved past it, as she knows more important things are ahead. “Even though it's really impossible, you have to realize that high school and elementary school, middle school, whatever… in the end, you're going to be past that and have a completely separate life from that. Yeah, growing up is important and the memories you make are important, but the people that are mean probably aren't really going to go anywhere in life - because they're mean and there's obviously something going on with themselves. So you just have to remember that. Remember that one day you'll be 35 and think, 'Wow, I can't believe I ever let those dumb people affect my life.'"

5. She Swims

O’Brien loves to spend time in the water. She has posted several photos and videos on Instagram of herself enjoying time at the beach and going for a swim. She posted this video on Instagram of herself enjoying a pool day while on her Mexico vacation. O’Brien captioned the video, “What happens in slayulita, slays in slayulita.”
