She would create recipes and cook for people in their own homes, and this gave her more freedom to be creative than if she had worked in a restaurant.
2. She Has Her Own Website Called Shayna’s Kitchen
She started the website as a way to share her recipes, but it soon grew into a lot more than this.

This means that everything she recommends on the site is widely available for purchase and does not tend to be expensive.

She told Good Housekeeping that she has never done well with people telling her what to do. Her parents were both entrepreneurs and from a young age she knew that she wanted to follow in their footsteps. Apart from her time as a model, she has always worked for herself and this is something that is likely to continue in the future.
4. Her Interest In Wellness Comes From Her Own Health Issues
She has experienced a number of health issues that have made her think about the types of food that she should be eating. She has auto-immune problems and some issues with digestion.

It has also inspired her to look for alternatives to taking medication that is prescribed by doctors.
5. She First Met Ryan In A Restaurant In LA
She first met Ryan when they were eating in the same restaurant in LA. Someone that Ryan was with knew someone from Shayna’s group and Ryan was attracted to her straight away. He got his friend to text the person that they knew who was sitting with Shayna to try and find out if she was single. It took her a while to realize what was going on and in the end one of her friends had to text her to tell her that Ryan was interested. She has said that even though she was aware of who he was, she was not overly starstruck the first time that she met him.
6. She Moved To New York With Ryan
Despite the fact that their relationship had always been on again – off again, she made the decision to move from Los Angeles to New York with Ryan. After she was more settled in New York she took the opportunity to further her career. She became certified in holistic nutrition and she now uses this approach to guide her in her recipe development. She has also made several appearances on Live With Ryan and Kelly where she has shared some of her recipes and this has helped to raise the profile of the Shayna’s Kitchen website.
