I feel like it's my duty to share my experience with self-acceptance. I don't want to bore people and talk about myself, but the biggest struggle for me was my body.

It's kind of tough to get noticed. Sure, I can kick my leg over my head, but how do I get noticed?

Confidence is sexy. That's what 'Sports Illustrated Swim' stands for. They have this movement where you can just be beautiful no matter what shape, what size, your height, your body type, your ethnicity.

Even at the times that I've pushed myself to exhausting limits to get myself at my lightest weight, I did not feel comfortable in that skin.

I knew that if I was going to be a model, that it was going to be in the body type that I am. As an athlete, as a woman with hips and thighs and curves, that was me.

If someone needs a bobby pin or a safety pin, I always have it.

I love the Kopari Lip Glossy. I always have three of those. Every time I see them, I buy another one because I never want to run out.

I swear by Too Faced's Milk Chocolate Soleil matte bronzer. My boyfriend thinks I eat chocolate before I see him because it smells like it.

My birthstone is amethyst. I have one from my grandma that's kind of like my good-luck charm. If I'm anxious, I hold it.

We wake up and go to sleep with ourselves every single day. We see ourselves in the mirror from every angle. We know what we look like. We know what makes us happy about our bodies and what upsets us. And we don't need to value the opinions of others at all - especially from people who that we don't even know, or that we don't care about.

I like to think of my life as very spontaneous and new all the time.

I'm used to homebody, work-mode Rob. Snuggles and movies. Once the offseason hits, we definitely have our fun times in Miami or Vegas, and he is the life of the party.

When I was young, the way I was brought up, my mom made me feel comfortable in my own skin.

I didn't even aspire to be a model because I didn't see myself represented, even as simple as the freckles on my skin.

I was a dancer, so I always loved watching girls perform and dance and just always looked up to them and their bodies.

I remember loving looking at J.Lo because she had a set of hips.

Rob has been one of my biggest motivators. I constantly see the work he takes on, both on the field and off. He's definitely someone I admire.

I never took modeling seriously because I was so busy with cheerleading.

I am such a private person.

It's motivating when someone tells you it's possible to do something that seems impossible.

I just want to send the best message possible to women. And I'm just so thankful because I honestly never thought I could model. I've always been told I wasn't tall enough, I wasn't thin enough.

For the Patriots, you can be a cheerleader for four years. They can be four consecutive years. You can do two years and take a break, and then come back for two more years. I've actually only completed two years, two seasons with the Patriots cheerleading team.

I cannot live without a matte sun-kissed bronzer.

Making sure my skin is hydrated is my number one priority.
