Wellness is associated with happiness. When you're happy, you're feeling good in your mind and body. That ties into being healthy, eating well, and exercising regularly. It also ties into being excited about things - like getting up in the morning and having a healthy breakfast.
Belgium is half French-speaking and half Flemish, and I was born on the French side. So we spoke it a lot - like, in kindergarten, it was almost all French. But then I moved to New Zealand when I was 10, where we obviously spoke English all the time, so I lost the French a little bit.
Having a lot of friends and family around you - that's all a part of wellness.
Being confident without makeup is sexy.
Where would we be without our friends? Honestly, every friend is so unique and special. I have my friends back in New Zealand; I have my friends in New York and California. Then you have your friends who are your family. Barbara Palvin falls into that category. I have a lot of love for all my friends.
If I wasn't a model, I don't know what I'd do, but I would be working just as hard at whatever it was.
All my family look Irish. They act Irish. My sister even has red hair... it's crazy. I'm the one that doesn't seem Irish. None of the kids in my family, my siblings, speak with an Irish accent... we've never lived there full-time; we weren't born there. We just go there once or twice a year. It's weird. Our parents sound Irish, but we don't.
Positivity helps with everything in life.
Eating right is a natural defense against the sun. Sweet potatoes, dark chocolate, pomegranates, leafy greens, almonds, and teas all help against the sun. Otherwise, 100 SPF will do.
Your personality counts for a lot and how you are to work with.
I really like Bioderma. I really like to wipe my face with it, like, every night.
I really like walking for brands where I like the clothes, because it's a big part of the whole thing.
I always like to feel comfortable and to dress how I feel.
Sometimes, when you roll out of bed, you don't want to be photographed by the paparazzi. Usually you like to know when you're being photographed. I've learnt that, as a public figure, you have to up your game and be prepared. Ideally, you try not to roll out of bed without brushing your hair - just chuck a brush through it, make a little effort.
I think everybody goes through insecurities when they're younger, and everybody has to grow into their body.
Beauty really has such a wide field of interpretation. I guess that's why it's forever fascinating.
I try to just, you know, make sure I wash my face in the morning and at night before I sleep.
I've been doing a lot of yoga because it really centres me - mentally as well as physically. It's just an hour of my day that's always positive, and I always come out in a better mood.
Your outlook is pretty happy and positive after yoga. It's a good way to open up and center.
I'm really into oat milk.
