Being in the public eye means Thomalla has to deal with tabloids and unflattering pictures. In an interview with MyStyleRy, Thomalla was asked about a tabloid that was a bit unflattering, and if it bothered her. “No, not at all. It rather amuses me. Photos are basically a matter of taste. And this kind of reporting is part of the career. You can’t be everybody’s darling.”

2. She Stays Hydrated

Thomalla stays hydrated, and she talked about what she drinks each day to MyStyleRy. “I always need my coffee in the morning with lots of sugar and milk but try to relinquish it during the day. Otherwise you drink ten of such things and end up with 2,000 calories on the clock. It usually has to go fast. If necessary, a paper cup with tea bag is also okay. I also love fresh mint and detox tea. Even the name alone makes me feel better. Suddenly the face gets toned and you lose a lot of water (laughs).”

3. She Deletes Really Negative Comments

Thomalla tells MysStyleRy that she ignores negative comments. However, she does delete the particularly harsh ones to protect herself. “At the moment when I comment on explosive political issues, the protest on social media platforms is already pre-programmed. And yet many people don’t know the difference between criticism and insult: ‘You have horny tits but cannot think.’ I immediately delete such and even worse comments that are ‘below the belt line’. Otherwise, I can thoroughly handle criticism.”

4. She Does Cardio and Strength Training

Thomalla makes sure to workout on a regular basis. She says that she likes to combine two different workouts in sessions. Thomalla revealed in an interview that she does "45 minutes of strength training, an hour of running.” Thomalla also says that she has seen results from this. “I’ve lost two dress sizes.”

5. She Hikes

She also shared these photos and videos of herself hiking in the Pinnacle Lookout. Thomalla captioned that post, “I made it to my final destination. Traveling alone is not for the faint of heart.”
