As for her diet, Shantel fuels up in the morning. “For me, having greek yogurt and some granola is the perfect start-up breakfast because it has many benefits. Its filling, healthy and gives me energy to start my day. I also try not to drink coffee so I found this mango ginger green tea and its my favorite--I don't travel anywhere without it!" she told SELF.

5. Walking Her Dog
