While some might get overwhelmed after dating on reality TV, Daisy Kent can't say the same.
The star decided to leave Joey Graziadei's season of The Bachelor during the final rose ceremony, as she didn't feel like they were meant to be. However, she doesn't regret going on the show at all.
"I think it is scary, but if you're honest and genuine, you're going to have a better experience and more opportunities will come is what I learned," the blonde beauty, 25, who was diagnosed with Lyme disease at age 21 and wears a cochlear implant, exclusively tells Morning Honey while talking about how her partnership with Daisy Cottage Cheese became a "reality." "My parents taught me to be who you are and follow that, so that's what I've leaned into. It went well, and the show changed my life! It's special to look back on, especially to where I'm at now and be like, 'Wow, my life has changed so much.' But it's been so positive."
Throughout the show, viewers fell in love with Kent's honesty, especially as she explained her prior health issues. (She has Ménière's disease, an inner ear disorder, in addition to Lyme disease.)
"I didn't know what to expect, and then things got crazy for me. It was a little overwhelming, but now it's so positive, and it gave me the opportunity to meet a bunch of people and talk to people and get to choose the brands I work with. I get to lean more into my passions," she exclaims. "I would say it's the best kind of overwhelming!"
"It's been cool to see," she says of how people have taken an interest in her story. "I didn't expect people to have the reaction they did. It's really cool and really special when I get to meet people and just hear their stories, too. I talked about my story on the show and included the hard stuff, but I always tried to bring it back to positivity. It's been a really special year for me."
Now, the children's book author hopes to inspire others going forward. "In the moment it can be hard, but I think if you look at it like you're going to learn something from it, then it's always going to be beneficial and help you in the long run," she shares. "It was a really, really great experience, but I'm excited for the future. You have to keep going and moving forward."
One things Kent is now excited about is her partnership with Daisy Cottage Cheese — something she manifested all along.
"I'm super excited about it. I love cottage cheese. I've loved it since I was really little, and it's funny because it is my name. I remember being at the grocery store with my parents, and I would always gravitate toward it. I'd be like, 'Can we get Daisy Cottage Cheese?'" she quips.
The TV personality loves to nosh on her signature “Daisy Caprese."
"When I was little, I was really picky about breakfast and cottage cheese was the only thing my parents could get me to eat," she recalls. "It's funny how all of this has come together! I feel like it's a full circle moment. I typically do a Ritz cracker with avocado and then cottage cheese with pepper on it. I also will take some bread and toast it and put cottage cheese and chili oil over it. Cottage cheese is now trending so much on TikTok, so I love seeing what other people make with it, especially with Daisy Cottage Cheese because it's the best!"
"When I was on The Bachelor, there were commercials going on at the same time, and it's funny to see how everyone reacted it it, so it feels like everybody has been talking about this for a while! I can't wait for everybody to find out about this," she adds.
