Avani Gregg is heating up the islands in her swimsuit. In a recent social media post the TikTokker flaunts her fit figure in a bathing suit while vacationing at Atlantis in the Bahamas. “Bahama mama lowkey,” she captioned the series of Instagram snaps. “PRETTY BEBE,” commented one of her followers. “Wow,” added another. How does the influencer maintain her physical and mental health? Celebwell rounded up her top lifestyle habits.
1. Gymanstic Inspired Workouts
At 16, Avani thought she would go on to train for the Olympics. However, she experienced a career-ending injury and ended up a TikTok star. While she no longer competes, she does enjoy gymnastic inspired workouts.
2. Thick Skin
Avani tries not to let online bullies bother her. “I was like, ‘Okay, you got a lot of bad comments, but look at your following. There are many people that follow you, love you and support you and everything. So it’s okay. I’ll get back on and I’ll go on with my day,’” she told Seventeen.

Avani's mantra? “I’m just doing me and I’m trying to be as happy as I can be,” she told Seventeen. "People say 'I can't believe you're so confident,' and I'm like, 'What's that supposed to mean? I'm not supposed to be confident?'" She continued: “I don’t like saying be yourself because everyone says that, but I can’t find another saying for it,” she says, adding, “I want people to dig deeper into their emotions and be able to post more about how they feel through different ways.”
4. Self-Confidence
“Show your confidence, I know you have it,” is her main message for fans. “My confidence has gone up, gone down, gone back up, and gone back down all throughout my time on social media.”
5. Social Media Breaks
“Taking care of my mental health while being on social media and my wellbeing in general, is very hard. That’s why I usually take breaks. I will take 3-5 days of staying fully off my phone just doing beauty stuff, doing random makeup stuff, laying in bed, eating my favourite food, to get me back in the right mindset so that I can give the best content out to everyone else,” Avani revealed to Glamour UK.
6. Skincare
“Skincare has always been important to me because I was a gymnast from a very young age to a couple of years ago. It's not that clean in the gym. You're always touching your face. I got started with skincare, which was just using a cleanser. And then I kind of [thought] like, ‘Oh, this is important for me to do. I should probably take care of my skin.’ That's where it all started,” she told Who What Wear.
