Selling Sunset Star Davina Potratz in Two-Piece Workout Gear Hikes With Dani Hagan

Selling Sunset star Maya Vander is celebrating her birthday (the reality star turned 42 on March 12!) with a friend, getting a birthday workout done at the gym. Vander shared a video of herself wearing orange workout gear, telling fans she just got Botox for the first time. “Let the birthday celebrations begin!! 😉 Who else is a Pisces? ♓ #piscesseason ,” she captioned the post. Here’s how Vander is thriving in her post-Selling Sunset life.

1. Vegetarian Diet

Vander enjoys a vegetarian diet with lots of fruit and herbs. "Before my kids are up, the first thing I do is come to the kitchen and make myself a nice cup of coffee,” she told Cosmopolitan. “As you can see we have a lot of cabinet space, a big counter top... and I'm obsessed with my basil plants. If you come to my refrigerator you will never see a shortage of vegetables and fruit since I'm vegetarian and it's my daily nutrition."

2. At Home Workouts

Vander has standing bikes and a Pilates reformer machine in her guest bedroom. "We just purchased those awesome bikes and I have my Pilates reformer machine, so this is where we work out,” she told Cosmopolitan. “I love it because this is my time to zone out for 30/40 minutes and just clear my mind and get a good workout."

3. Time Blocking

Vander and her husband Dave Miller work hard to balance family and work. “We don’t have a nanny, it’s just me and my husband,” she told SheKnows. “So I think time blocking is very important. I really try to prioritize what’s important, what I need to absolutely get done by like, 4:35 pm when my kids are back from school, and then obviously in real estate I have to do showings on the weekend, but I try to literally do it in like two hours so I could spend the rest of the day with the kids and do fun activities with them. Time blocking is key.”

4. Real Estate Advice

Vander encourages anyone wanting to succeed in real estate to put the work in and do their homework. “You have to put in the hours; you have to dedicate yourself to the business and be consistent because it takes time,” she told H3R Magazine. “This business is like a roller coaster: some deals are difficult, and some are not easy to close. I wish it was as easy as it seems on the show. Yes, we have easy clients here and there, but most take more than just a phone call to close the deal. On top of working as a realtor, you will also become a therapist: a friend who listens to the clients’ needs, and who knows how to solve problems.”

5. Selling Sunset Drama

Vander wasn’t happy about her scenes being cut on Selling Sunset. “I get it—I don’t provide the drama or crazy outfits and fashion,” she told Women’s Health. “I’m really just there for real estate and the show focused on things besides real estate. I would love to be a part of the show, but it’s less than ideal for me to put in all this effort and then you see the finished product and I’m barely in it. I sacrifice a lot, but I get it. The audience wants to see more drama vs. ‘here’s Maya selling a house…’”

Selling Sunset star Davina Potratz is passionate about fitness, and loves sharing her workouts with fans and followers. Potratz posted a video of herself working out in a black sports bra and matching leggings, using weights in both hands. “Quick but efficient upper body workout! 4 x 10 plate clean and press, weight as desired! 3 x 12 bicep curls into reverse grip shoulder press, try 8 lbs! Let what you think, enjoy!” she captioned the post. Here’s what Potratz’s exercise and wellness routine looks like.

1. Typical Day

Potratz makes time every day for meditation and hiking. “During the quarantine I learned to fully work from home, which I’ve really started to enjoy,” she told Naluda Magazine. “I alternate between working with real estate clients, managing my beauty line, giving interviews, various phone calls and regularly updating social media. I am also currently taking an online course in entrepreneurship so I try to get a little reading done for that. I take a quick break for lunch and meditation then head out for a hike.”

2. Hitting the Weight Room

Potratz works out at the gym, focusing on strength training exercises. “Happy Monday! After being out of town for almost three weeks and surviving some crazy weather here in LA over the weekend, I wanted to start the week off strong with some fun and easy glute exercises!” she captioned an Instagram post.

“•5 x 12 dumbbells squats at 35lbs or whatever weight you’re comfortable with. I like these squats because they’re easy in my neck. Be sure to watch your form and keep your back straight.

• 5 x 12 wall ball squats, keep your back straight and dip low for maximum impact.”

3. Beauty Boss

Potratz created her own bronzer and spray duo with beauty brand withSimplicity. “I came up with a bronzer that’s super hydrating but gives natural color so you don’t get these really dry crow’s feet or just dry skin in general,” she told Page Six. “So it’s hyaluronic acid bronzer with the setting spray that I really love… I was always obsessed with beauty. Ever since I was a little kid, my mom would spend hours doing her makeup, so I’d watch her do it and I did modeling for 10, 12 years and I worked with some awesome makeup artists and was like so fascinated by their tricks of the trade and just cool, fun things, like blue eyeshadow and whatnot.”

4. Set Clear Goals

Potratz believes in the power of setting intentions. “The greatest lessons I’ve learned are to get clear on my goals, focus on my vision and then let actions reflect those intentions,” she tells Naluda Magazine. “The universe will conspire to manifest your ideas. I also believe in standing by on your values, no matter how enticing a situation may seem.”

5. Charity Work

Charity work is important to Potratz, who donates both time and money to worthy causes. “I regularly donate to Childhelp, an organization that helps abused and neglected children and I’ve also been donating and volunteering at Food on Foot since 2014, a non profit that helps homeless people get back on their feet and was featured on the show,” she told Naluda Magazine. “I am also very interested in working with an anti-human trafficking organization.”
