Miss USA's Instagram Account Proves Why She's Our Favorite Winner Yet

Olivia and competing pal Miss Minnesota Jessica Scheu explored Baton Rouge, LA.

"The only way to reach your goals is one step at a time. Take that step!"

"Every time I look up here I see something that makes me feel small. What a gift to be reminded how small we are on this earth but to also remember that as one spark can start a wildfire, one act of kindness can ignite a chain reaction that can better the world. So if anyone is feeling small today, remember that it's the little things that make all the difference."

"Don't fear the future, don't regret the past, just be present in this moment for all that it is..."

Good vibes and outdoor adventures in Austin, TX.

Olivia made it a priority to fit in another workout before the Miss USA check-in.

"I interrupt your Instagram feed for a brief moment of honesty — I haven't always loved my body. At times, I hated it. As a model you are judged on your looks everyday [sic]. People don't hesitate to point out every one of your flaws. On the same photo-shoot I heard that 'she's anorexic looking' and from someone else that 'she's too fat to model'. For real. It's harsh. When I started modeling at 15 I wanted to be perfect. When my agent told me to lose 3 inches off my hips (I was 5'11" and 120 pounds). I listened. I fell into the trap and nearly destroyed my body trying to fit into someone else's idea of what I should look like. As I physically & mentally recovered from losing too much weight and the self hatred that goes along with developing eating disordered patterns, I started to learn practices of self love. Today, I make my living as a model. I still hear feedback on 'she's too big' or even 'she's not strong or not curvy enough'. But I no longer try to fit into the mold of what a 'fashion model' should look like. I embrace my curves. When I want a cookie, I eat a cookie. But I also workout hard- always challenging myself to be stronger, faster, more flexible. Today, I love my body for everything it is. I'm so grateful that my strong legs can carry me through a half marathon, that I can leg press with the best of them, that my boobs and booty get me booked on swim and lingerie campaigns year after year, that I don't miss out on the joy of eating and celebrating with friends by starving myself. I share this because it's important to know that we all struggle and we all have insecurities, let's support each other and create a community of love and lifting each other up!"

A weekend of family and fitness.

" 'Man often becomes what he believes himself to be. If I keep on saying to myself that I cannot do a certain thing, it is possible that I may end by really becoming incapable of doing it. On the contrary, if I have the belief that I can do it, I shall surely acquire the capacity to do it even if I may not have it at the beginning.' ✨ -Mahatma Ghandi"

We love her spirit before taking off in a half marathon.
