[discussing what they do before their shows] Normani: We love eating cheerios before the show. Dinah Jane: We also have a fruit platter, to stay healthy. Ally: It's so important to wear something that makes you feel confident. If you don't feel good in what you're wearing, you won't look good. Normani: You don't have to wear something just because somebody else is wearing it. Ally: Right before we go on, we have a group prayer to calm us down and get us pumped! Show less «

Dinah Jane: My beauty bag contains all of my jewelry, so if I need more bracelets, I always have them right here with me! I always keep my Polaroid camera by my side, so I can capture the incredible moments I have with my favorite girls! My No. 1 rule is to carry chewing gum with me at all times. You should never be walking around with bad breath, LOL! Ally: Visiting other countries is a dream of mine, so my passport is very much needed! I want to look my best on the road, so I pack some of my makeup to freshen up when I need to. I love my lip balm, so my lips are always moisturized. One of my favorite things to do on my downtime is listen to music. Music is my life, so I can't go anywhere without my earphones! Lauren: I don't wear a lot of makeup on my days off, but I do put on light eyeliner mascara and a shiny lip gloss. Even though I always take pics with my phone, I feel like disposable cameras capture the character of the moment more than a camera phone does. I always have a book with me, because I love being able to learn things from other people's writing. It's a total escape! Normani: I have to carry perfume everywhere so a sista can smell good, LOL. This Justin Beiber perfume was a gift. I love the packaging! I love my lashes, and I actually customized them with our amazing makeup artist, Alexis Ellen! I love bling, so we added a touch of me to my lashes! I have an obsession with hot wings! I'm not always able to have them, but I found a buffalo-flavored Pringles instead! Camilla: My Harmonizers know the way to my heart! They gave me two of my favorite things-pizza and bows-in one cute accessory! This is the bow that I wear onstage. With all the hair flopping and dancing, it's hard to keep in place, so I have to basically stitch it to my brain with bobby pins! I always keep my emergency bar in my purse, just in case I'm craving something super sweet-which is 100% if the time! Show less «

[The girls discuss their boy trouble] Ally: I can't be in a relationship[ with someone who's too serious, it's boring. I have to have someone who has a great sense of humor!

If I feel like I'm constantly trying to prove myself, I have to tell him bye! Show less «

Lauren: The biggest misconception about us is that we're rich. Camilla: We're literally more broke than we were before we became famous. Dinah Jane: We bought something from Goodwill and I tweeted something like "Oh, I love Goodwill." Someone was like "Dinah, why are you wearing cheap clothes?" And I was like, "Because I can afford it and it's valuable to me." Lauren: The other day, I posted a picture of myself at the bus stop because I actually went on a bus and people were like, "Why are you at a bus stop? You don't need to ride the bus. You're rich!" And I was like, "Excuse me, I can only afford the bus." Taxis are expensive. I was so mad. Normani: Even if the time comes when do have money, I like inexpensive things! Ally: We've shared clothes before. Camilla: When my mom and I came to the US from Cuba, we had $100 and the clothes on our backs. It was the same when my dad joined us. I feel like my parents have influenced me the most as a person and in my career. They're the most hardworking people. Show less «

Lauren: You have to keep in mind that everybody has a different body type. Ally: Learn to accept and love yourself! Dinah Jane: I thought you were just supposed to wear T-shirts and shorts. That was a bathing suit for me growing up! Camilla: You just need to say, "I look so good right now!" It'll start to reflect how you feel. I think how you feel on the inside reflects the outside. Normani: Don't worry-nobody's as focused on it as you think they are! Dinah Jane: You're unique and beautiful just the way you are! Show less «
