Dancing With the Stars regular Daniella Karagach Pashkova is giving fans a glimpse at what her recent life at home looks like. Pashkova, 31, shared a picture of herself wearing gray jogging pants and a white tank crop top, taking a mirror selfie outside her bathroom. “Life is lifeingš„¹š¤ #family #love #home,” she captioned the post. “Lifeing looks gooooood ššš,” commented Peta Murgatroyd. Here’s how the dancer and busy mom stays fit, happy, and healthy.
Pashkova never travels without her resistance bands. “I want to keep moving and performing,” she told E! News. “That’s where my passion is. Somebody asked me ‘If you’re a billionaire right now, you wouldn’t have to work a day in your life. Would you still do the show?’ Yes, I would. That’s my passionā¦ You might think this is weird, but I always have a Theraband with me. I never feel complete without it. It just gives me resistance and makes me feel more connected before I start my warm up or whatever.”
Pashkova relies on coffee to give her a boost throughout the day. “I love coffee,” she told E! News. “I wish I had a Nespresso sponsorship. If I could have any sponsorship, it would be with Nespresso. I go through so much espresso in a month. It’s crazy. I put my in-laws on it. I got my mom a machine too. We all love it so much.”
Pashkova has an early start for Dancing With the Stars. “Every pro dancer has their own hair and makeup squad assigned to them at the beginning of the season,” she told New Beauty. “They stay with the dancer until they get eliminated. Hair is in one trailer and the makeup team is in another at 6 or 7 a.m. Whenever your call time is, you go into whichever is first on the schedule. Every schedule is different based on the order you dance in. Each pro dancer and celeb is assigned their own trailer. Right before we go on stage, we get touched-up by the stage area where our hair and makeup team has their own station.”
Le Labo LYS 41 is Pashkova’s favorite perfume. “I’m obsessed with spraying this perfume right before I go on stage,” she told New Beauty. “It’s a weird habit of mine that I can’t go without! I just fell in love with how spicy it was. I love to try out different fragrances and play around with them, but this is one scent that became a staple in my routine. That spicy, flowery scent just works for me. I don’t feel complete without it!”
Pashkova says she dealt with severe acne when she first went on Dancing With the Stars. “It took about a month for my skin to calm down,” she told Morning Honey. “Once I got off the tour, my skin was just crystal clear. It was just crazy to me because I was really struggling for two years. I didn’t think there was anything out there that could help. I cannot tell you how grateful I am.”
