Women Fitness President Ms. Namita Nayyar catches up with Daisey O’Donnell, a British fashion model, Instagram celebrity, Youtuber, and business entrepreneur, here she talks about her fitness routine, her diet, skincare, haircare, and her success story.
Namita Nayyar:
You grew up in West Yorkshire England and basically live there your present life do you plan to stay there?
Daisey O’Donnell:
This is home to me and always has been. My dad’s side of the family live here and it’s just base for me. I definitely plan to move abroad in the future and have places in each of my favorite countries. But of course I’ll always come back and visit home I am very close to my family.
Namita Nayyar:
You have 1.1 million followers, a successful clothing brand, a fitness app and you’re a singer. Tell us more about this journey of hard work, tenacity and endurance.
Daisey O’Donnell:
I started working in a shop in my town for £30 a day at 14… I was always hungry for success. I went on xfactor age 14 and got as far as boot camp to the last 15 girls in my category. It was an amazing experience I sang at Wembley infront of 5000 people. I also got into the final of teen star.
I was doing Instagram when I was 15 at school. I pushed it and grew my followers gradually and that’s where opportunities for modeling and collaborations came from. I was never with an agency. I managed myself since 15years of age. From consistency and hard work my Instagram blew up out of nowhere and became my full time job. It was from not giving up and just being myself I think my followers loved that. From my platform i launched My brand Odolls Collection which is now stocked in Selfridges, Flannels, Tessuti, Frasers, ASOS and Namshi. In October last year I launched My app Fitness with Daisey which has been a great success. I just really feel that from building my platform I’ve been able to do so many business ventures it’s incredible and there’s so many more plans I have! The sky is the limit for me.
Namita Nayyar:
You have launched Fitness with Daisey offering @daiseyodonnell official fitness app. Elaborate more about this endeavour in the fitness industry?
Daisey O’Donnell:
I have always been passionate about fitness and going to the gym, ever since I was in school. But the biggest issue I would have is not knowing how to go about it with what to train, how to work out in a smart and healthy way, or how to come up with a good workout routine.
As I grew up and got more into fitness, I figured out a healthy and good routine with fitness and over the first lockdown, I would post a lot about it. This raised a lot of my followers and friends to ask me for advice and what I would do, which gave me the idea to start a community focusing on health and fitness.
I partnered up with Hype Burst, a world-leading fitness app company and came up with the idea for Fitness With Daisey, a fitness app and community. I wanted Fitness With Daisey to serve as a guide for other people to use as well as myself to help with their fitness and health journey. I work very closely with Hype Burst’s development team, designers and fitness professionals to offer the best possible fitness app, it’s literally a Pocket Personal Trainer!
Since Fitness With Daisey has been launched, it has been amazing to hear from the FWD Family of how much it has helped them improve their fitness journey! The app is available to download on the Apple App Store and Google Play Store.
Namita Nayyar:
You are a world-leading media personality, Instagram star, model, singer, YouTuber, and brand ambassador. How do you manage such a remarkable multi-dimensional lifestyle?
Daisey O’Donnell:
Since I was 15 I have done this so it comes natural to me. I love a busy lifestyle it keeps me active & motivated. I get bored so easy so it’s important for me to have a busy life I love every part of it. I literally live in hotels and out of a suitcase but I wouldn’t have it any other way every day is different and exciting.

Namita Nayyar:
What exercises comprise your fitness regime or workout routine you may wish to share?
Daisey O’Donnell:
A lot of the exercises I do are from the workout plans I have on Fitness With Daisey. I worked with a team of Personal Trainers when creating workout plans for the app and I use them religiously. Right now I’m close to finishing the ‘New Year New Me’ January challenge but with the busy schedule, I have been having recently I pick and choose workouts from different collections. I see a lot of workout apps that have specific challenges which are amazing and I have those too on Fitness With Daisey, but with people who have a busy schedule sometimes it can be hard to commit to a challenge. I mix it up with workouts from the gym workout library plan I have and HIIT. My go-to favourite exercises are ones that target the lower body and I always either add in weights or a resistance band. My app includes plans for any goal and experience level and even has On-Demand classes which are really good!
Namita Nayyar:
You have glowing skin and gorgeous hair. Share with us your haircare and skincare routine
Daisey O’Donnell:
Thank you! Drinking plenty of Water is the key to this. I take biotin vitamins every day and when I’m working out it gives my skin a glow I can’t achieve without it! I suppose when you’re feeling good on the inside it shows on the outside. Being blonde Olaplex is my go to for keeping my hair healthy. Always use a heat protector too.
Namita Nayyar:
Advice and motivational words to the inspiring and budding fashion model girls, who all are your fans and shall like to know from you for their climb to the ladder of success in the field of modeling?
Daisey O’Donnell:
Being 23 I would say Be selfish with your 20s This is the time to build your empire and find yourself. Dream big and manifest. Vision your highest self and start showing up as her. Trust your intuition and believe in your potential. I have manifested everything I have. The universe is my best friend.
Namita Nayyar:
You have done bold photo shoots with Instagram and many others. How you are so body confident and advice to your compatriots?
Daisey O’Donnell:
Love yourself is my answer. Nobody is you and that is your power. Own who you are and the camera is your bestfriend !
Namita Nayyar:
How do you train your abs? One secret to your toned body.
Daisey O’Donnell:
There is not really a secret with how I keep my body toned. The biggest thing that I really do to train my abs is by mixing it up. I think a lot of people do workouts to just workout their abs and get frustrated when they don’t see results. I really try to mix up my workout routine but making sure that they all engage my core. I do this through cardio, weight training, and home-style HIIT workouts targeting the core.
Namita Nayyar:
Five foods you absolutely love and five you keep to a minimum.
Daisey O’Donnell:
I love mash potatoes, pasta, soup (any soup I’m obsessed with) with bread and butter, of course, fruit and Mac and cheese. I keep foods such as cake, sweets, chocolate, pizza and fried food to a minimum. My app includes recommended protein, carbs and good fats if anyone is unsure of what to eat.
Namita Nayyar:
Five skincare myths
Daisey O’Donnell:
The more products you use the worse in my opinion. It’s only going to clog your pores! Using sudocream on spots never works, black head strips don’t work, the three step cleanse tone moisturise is not necessary it depends what skin type you have everyone is different and exfoliating so often in my opinion isn’t necessary.
Namita Nayyar:
Five athletic leisure brands you love to wear.
Daisey O’Donnell:
My brand odolls sport is my favourite of course it’s fun, bright and fits perfect. I like under armour for their long sleeve zip up tops, Nike has the best leggings, Ryder wear has the cutest shorts and Saski collection in general is amazing.
Namita Nayyar:
Five travel destinations on your wish list.
Daisey O’Donnell:
Hawaii is my first it looks so beautiful it’s somewhere I’ve always wanted to go. The mountain views and beaches look amazing. Tokyo looks incredible the technology is so advanced I find it fascinating and the fashion is also so advanced I would find it so interesting.
St tropez would definitely be up my street I love the lifestyle there with the yachts, shopping and night life. Maldives is a must and I’m definitely saving that one for the honey moon. I’d also love to go to Nashville I love country music it makes me feel really happy and I think the atmosphere with the live music and night life would be unreal.
Namita Nayyar:
You are CEO of ODolls Collection, a clothing brand. Your online store at www.theodollscollection.com offers an exceptionally stunning collection of fashion wear at reasonable prices. Tell us more about this endeavor of yours?
Daisey O’Donnell:
ODolls collection is known for its luxury lounge wear. My sister and I wanted to design a brand all women felt empowered in. A brand that is a luxury at an affordable price. We have sleepwear, swimwear, sportswear, loungewear, party wear and jewellery. The idea came from when we used to take airport pictures in twinning outfits. We wanted to design dressed up yet casual loungewear perfect for travelling as we are always on the go. Odolls collection is stocked in Selfridges, Flannels, Tessuti, Frasers, Asos & Namshi. We want to take ODolls Collection worldwide and have stores all over.
