I would look at my profile and be like, 'Look at this girl! She has, like, the most perfect life!' and I would feel so guilty for not feeling blessed all the time.

I've, like, lived in a bikini my entire life, so modeling bikinis was, I don't know. It was just so natural to me.

I have to get at least 20 minutes of sun every day. An hour is the best because it's good for you. You need it. I need it to have that little spark.

I look up to Gigi Hadid. I love where she's taken herself, I love what brands she's working on. I respect her because I understand... I mean, girls like her open the doors for girls like me. So all I can do is thank her.

I started posting on my social media super-young. I didn't really understand what it was. When I was about 15, I started posting behind-the-scenes of shoots, little things of me holding up the color corrector, cute things, me in a bikini. It was just all innocent and fun, and I saw people really starting to respond to it.

I always associate blonde with sunshine and puppies and happiness, but I don't think sexiness.

People tend to judge a book by its cover. I love being unexpected and gaining respect for who I am and not how I look.
