My mom FedExes a red velvet cake she makes from scratch to me every birthday.

Sometimes when I'm healthier on a big day, I feel better about myself. If I eat terribly and I don't sleep well and I drink too much - three or four or five days in a row - it really catches up to me. It's good to have one fun day, as I call it, whether it be a Saturday, a Sunday, a Monday. It doesn't matter.

I think I've done every crazy diet there was in the beginning, but it's weird: I'm thinner now than I was when I was modeling. I don't obsess about it.

Less mess, less stress. That's my rule! If you don't stay on top of decluttering, it can get out of control. I maintain as much as possible. I'll do seasonal edits and decide what we can toss or donate. If we don't love it, need it or haven't used it in the past year, it's gone.

I've also learned that sometimes, no matter how much you want things to work, you have to accept that sometimes they just don't.

I tried to be really healthy and eat whole and organic as much as possible. I think that's the key to avoiding crazy weight gain.

I grew up watching Lee Trevino, Jack Nicklaus, Arnold Palmer.
