The Bachelorette's Charity Lawson Shares Swimsuit Photo With "Sunny Side Up"

Charity Lawson is steaming up the screen of The Bachelorette this season – and the internet as well. In one of her latest social media posts, the star of the hit reality show reminds the men who have been cast off the show what they are missing, showing off her amazing body in a bathing suit. “Sunny side up,” she captioned the set of Instagram snaps, wearing a skimpy swimsuit. How does the 27-year-old stay healthy and happy? Here are a few of her top health hacks.

1. Hack 1: Start the Day with Coffee

Charity gets her mornings started with a jolt of caffeine. During a “weekend in the Windy City,” she held tightly onto a cup of coffee. According to the Cleveland Clinic, there are several benefits of drinking coffee in moderation. “It acts on your brain to improve memory, mood, reaction times, and mental function,” they say, citing a study finding that caffeine can improve endurance and performance during exercise. It is also antioxidant-rich, can ward off diabetes, prevent neurologic disease, lower cancer risk, and ward off depression, they point out.

2. Hack 2: Prioritize Your Mental Health

Charity, who dubs herself a “growing therapist” in her LinkedIn profile, prioritizes mental health. “I carry a strong passion for helping others and am a strong advocate for promoting self-care and wellness,” her profile reads. “My goal is, wherever I may go, I want to leave an impact on someone's life by ensuring and fulfilling positive change for humanity, while also connecting and promoting a diverse environment that creates long-lasting interpersonal relationships.” She has an entire tab on her Instagram Stories devoted to mental health.

3. Hack 3: Challenge Yourself

Charity is always up to conquer personal challenges. "I was challenged and pushed to a level of vulnerability that I didn’t know was possible for myself. Through the highs and lows, I grew as a person through it all and was able to discover depths of myself, and that is the true victory," she said about her time on The Bachelor.

4. Hack 4: Put Family First

Charity stays grounded in life with the help of her family. "My queen, teacher, and nurturer!" she wrote about her mom on Mother's Day. "You lead up with such wisdom, class, and grace. We celebrate you today. I love you. Happy Mother's Day." She also calls her dad her "hero."

5. Hack 5: Educate Yourself

Charity prioritizes education over fame. “The past 6 years at Auburn, has been an experience of a lifetime, one that I don’t take for granted,” she wrote in a post. “I’ve been challenged, pushed and molded into the woman I am today. Looking back on my journey, I’ve met the most incredible people, professors, created the BEST memories, but most importantly, unconsciously, I walked right into my calling.”

In this post, Harris opened up about making this year one where she gets healthier. “I decided to set an intention with myself and that intention was that 2023 would be different! It would be the year of the new, healthy Jillian! I’ve had enough of just eating pasta and drinking wine and coffee. (Of course, no hate to pasta, coffee and wine… maybe just not that diet exclusively.) All of the irritability and tiredness felt like signals from my body telling me it was time for something different. So, I knew it was time for a more balanced diet and an overall healthier lifestyle.”

We may see each other again one day.. but also maybe not. You may linger for awhile longer.. and that’s ok too. But for now and in advance.. farewell sweet pockets of cushion and loose waves of skin.”

Andi Dorfman talked about her diet in an interview with Page Six. “As far as the diet goes, I’ve always eaten healthy. Now I eat the same amount of food if not more, but in a more purposeful way. So for example, before a run, I’ll stock my body up with a lot of carbs and after a run I’ll be sure to intake a lot of protein. So I’ve really learned what foods provided what fuel for my body.”

7. Kaitlyn Bristowe

Kaitlyn Bristowe talked about her diet and wellness tips with ELLE Canada. In it, she revealed how she stays healthy while traveling. “I do try to workout wherever I go. If I am just there for a couple days, I pack one cute outfit and then all of my Reebok clothes so that I am ready to workout when I can. At the airport I make sure I am not taking the tram to each gate and I will walk. I try and be very cautious of making small decisions and small goals for myself to keep me active. Airport food isn’t the healthiest so I will find those little variety stores for hard boiled eggs or almonds and I make sure to drink lots of water.”

Rachel Lindsay talked about her skincare secrets in an interview with HollywoodLife. “I think consistency is key, especially during the holiday season because I am traveling so much as a guest host. Every morning, I start by washing my face with a creamy face wash to retain my skin’s moisture and then I follow up with a serum that has a ton of vitamin A, C & E. But the key to my glowy skin is the HydraFacial at Ideal Image MedSpa. The HydraFacial gives my skin instant radiance and it’s definitely become a staple in my skincare routine.”

Jojo Fletcher shared some of her favorite workout products with E! News. She says that she loves to use resistance bands. “I've gotta say, although they look small, they are mighty and they give you a killer workout. I love these for so many reasons. They come in three different strengths. There's a light, medium, and heavy. These are also great if you travel a lot and you want to keep working out while you travel, these are tiny to fit in your bag. There are so many different things you can do with these. They come with a pamphlet that has suggested workouts on how you can use the bands.”

Tayshia Adams is a big fan of running. She tells Elite Daily that she likes to set small goals when it comes to running and fitness. “It could just be running for 10 minutes, running for half a mile, or running until I get tired,” she says. “If you do that every single day, the endgame is always going to increase. Start setting goals and you’ll keep surprising yourself.”

Hannah Brown shared her favorite healthy breakfasts in an interview with Bustle. “I try to eat around 11 after my workout, which could still be considered breakfast. Sometimes I'll have a banana, but my favorite is the breakfast tacos my boyfriend makes at home. It has to be with the Siete almond tortillas. They're so good with a little ghee butter on top, and then some scrambled eggs with either bacon or sausage. This is of course with some Cholula hot sauce on top.”

"It wasn't some agenda that I had coming on to the show. It's just who I am and who I've been this whole time. It wasn't until after the fact that I realized how big of a deal it was — which excites me because I do believe it's 2021 and women should be comfortable talking about their sexuality."

In an interview on The Doctors, Britt Nilsson talked about her struggles with an eating disorder when she was on The Bachelor. “I made a vow to myself about two years ago after the show,” she says. “I did a lot of soul-searching and I was like: ‘You know what? No matter what, I’m never throwing up again.’ I gained weight and it was yo-yo-ing, and it was scary,” she admits. “There are times where I’ve had to call Jeremy and be like, ‘I want to throw up so bad — I’m so scared.’ There is so much pressure to be thin. He’s talked me through it and I don’t throw up anymore, however, the binge eating disorder is something that I think about a lot … every day.”

Gabby Windey notably came out as a member of the LGBTQ community on The View. She talked about what made her decide to come out in the interview. “I think it was always a whisper in me that just got louder and louder, and I didn’t really know to pay attention to it,” Windey said. “I think, you know, when this happens, there’s some shame, obviously, surrounding it. So I think I had to, a little bit, navigate through the shame, like, what is it? Where is it coming from? But ultimately, like I said, I always just want to kind of like, do me, do what I want, figure it out later.”

I truly believe in love and when it comes it'll come. I'm definitely open to it, but healing at the same time."
