Behati Prinsloo Talks Victoria's Secret Fashion Show 2014
How Behati Prinsloo Deals With Pre-Victoria's Secret Fashion Show Nerves
![POPSUGAR: What is your favorite Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show memory?
Behati Prinsloo: Definitely my first show in 2007. The Spice Girls performed, and I am a very big fan. So, that was a big highlight.
PS: Perhaps they’ll make a cameo this year. We are going to London.
BP: Exactly! Maybe they’ll surprise us. Also, when I wore those huge, white, iconic wings last year. It was a big moment.
PS: What are you most excited about for this year’s show?
BP: This year was a really exciting year for me. I am opening the show for the first time. So I'm very nervous — but very excited! I am superstoked about it.
PS: What goes through your head right before you go on the runway?
BP: You're having fun with your girls, and everyone's there. But the minute I walk out, it's blank and in slow motion. There's nothing specific that goes through my mind. I just take in the moment. Your adrenaline rush is so much because your excitement and nerves just get the better of you.
PS: Over Thanksgiving, you posted a selfie on Instagram stating you're thankful for so much in your life. What are some of the things you're most thankful for?
BP: There's so much — my health, my family, my friends, my job. I just feel so lucky and blessed. There are a million things I'm thankful for.
PS: Like pink blankets?!
BP: Pink blankets, earplugs . . .[laughs].](https://media1.popsugar-assets.com/files/thumbor/-Tv9e90YcTwFPUJSbLmEZDeu2BE/160x160/filters:format_auto-!!-:strip_icc-!!-:sharpen-!1,0,true!-/2014/11/30/116/n/1922153/daeaf919420085a3_459745184/i/POPSUGAR-What-your-favorite-Victorias-Secret-Fashion-Show.jpg "POPSUGAR: What is your favorite Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show memory?

![PS: Since we're on a plane right now — what beauty products do you always bring with you when you travel?
BP: I always have rosewater spray with me when I travel. And La Mer [face cream], because it's thicker and I get so dry on a plane. I usually use Burt's Bees for my lips. Very simple, basic stuff, but important things.
PS: What are your best tips for dealing with jet lag?
BP: Since we are going to London, and I know we are going to land at night, I try to stay up during the plane ride so when I get there, I will be tired enough to fall asleep. Drink tons of water and vitamin C for your immune system. But other than that, I don't think there's any way around it.
PS: Can you share some of your preshow rituals in terms of diet and exercise?
BP: I do different things and train different ways every year. This year, I've been doing a lot of yoga, running a little, and a bit of weights. I always try to find something exciting and fun. Eating-wise, I just try to keep it clean and healthy. Nothing crazy.
PS: Do you do yoga with Adam [Levine]?
BP: I do. He kind of got me into it. He's a big yoga fanatic.
PS: He's definitely put that out there.
BP: Yes, everybody knows that.
PS: Are there any beauty products that you guys share?
BP: I mean, yeah, if it's there. There is no one specific thing. He'll use my cream or something.](https://media1.popsugar-assets.com/files/thumbor/nTuM40bnOz8qn9_tLuiyCjtt67I/160x160/filters:format_auto-!!-:strip_icc-!!-:sharpen-!1,0,true!-/2014/11/30/116/n/1922153/01d47e5d43a92d7d_459745834/i/PS-Since-were-plane-right-now-what-beauty-products-do-you.jpg "PS: Since we're on a plane right now — what beauty products do you always bring with you when you travel?

![PS: You have the best beach waves. Does you hair dry like that?
BP: Yeah, it does. I really don't have to do [much]. It has a natural curl, so it's pretty easy to always have the beach-wave look.
PS: So what's your daily hair routine?
BP: When I do it myself, I usually spray in Oribe thickening or dry-texture spray. My hair doesn't like a lot of product, so I just put in that one thing. Or if I'm in the sun, I'll put in an oil. My hair is easy.
PS: You're so lucky.
BP: I know I am [laughs].
PS: What is the most important step in your skin-care routine?
BP: Cleansing. Cleaning my face is the most important. Then, always moisturizing. And always, always sunblock.
PS: Is there an SPF number you stick to?
BP: For my face, I never go lower than 50. For my body, I'll use 30 . . . 15 . . . 5 . . . 3! [laughs].
PS: Who is your beauty icon?
BP: There are many, but I growing up and seeing how my mom looked after herself makes her my beauty icon.
PS: What is your spirit animal?
BP: Lion [laughs], because I love them. I feel like a cat.
PS: If you weren't a model. What would you want to do with your career?
BP: I wanted to be a marine biologist when I was little. Definitely doing something in nature, like a National Geographic photographer.
PS: Congrats on your wedding this year. What would be your advice for engaged ladies?
BP: Really live in that moment. It goes too quickly, and so many times you don't remember. The best advice I got from someone else was to take in every moment. To realize you're there and be with you husband [grabs my arm] — "we did it." Take five minutes. Be by yourself and take it in.
