Kat Graham shares photos from Cape Town

Heatwave star Kat Graham had an incredible time at Comic Con Africa, in Cape Town. Graham, 34, shared a series of pictures from the trip, including stunning shots of her posing in the sand in a dark green bikini. "Thank you Cape Town!!!! Here are some pics from my trip to South Africa last week. I miss the people and the ocean view already, and I can't wait to come back in September for the next one! Thanks @comicconafrica for the invite ❤️‍?," she captioned the post.

Graham starts every day playing with her dogs. "My day starts off with drinking a bottle of water—I'm always hydrating," she says. "I like to shower in the morning too using the Caress Forever collection—the fragrance in the body wash is touch-activated. So, I just touch my skin (like a rub on the wrist) throughout the day to reactivate the scent. The fragrance lasts for up to 12 hours, which is amazing for me since I'm running to a million appointments on any given day. I'm also really big on moisturizing. I like to put on my moisturizer and let it sit for a while before applying my makeup. [For breakfast I had]: A yogurt parfait. Usually I'm traveling between different time zones, so meal time always varies; but I [normally] like to start my day with a fruit smoothie and protein, usually eggs or a veggie omelet."

Graham uses argan oil on her hair. "For hair, I'm partial to argan oil–based products," she says. "For skin, I like Wet n Wild Photo Focus Setting Spray. It's made with aloe, so a spritz midday cools my skin down and helps avoid melting makeup. For fragrance, I find I'll spray perfume and the scent will be gone shortly after, so I like Caress Enchant Forever Body Wash because the fragrance in the body wash is touch-activated and lasts for up to 12 hours. For lips, my go-to staple is Carmex. Always."

Graham works out for mental and physical benefits. "As an actress, musician and dancer, my daily routine can be physically demanding, so it's essential that I eat right and work out to keep my energy up," she says. "I'm always looking for opportunities to get outside and I love to run, but I'm careful to switch up my routine so I stay motivated… Mark my words, it is a total understatement when I say I'm obsessed with taking bubble baths. It's the perfect way to unwind after a long day. It's the ultimate therapy for mind and body!"

Graham has a treadmill in two houses and one on set. "I run nothing less than about two miles a day," she says. "I have to do it in the morning. If I don't start my day with running, I let the day beat me up a little bit; if I get it done, I have a really clear head. I'm a working runner. Sometimes, after days of filming for 15 hours, I'm exhausted, and it's a struggle [to get up for a run]. But even if my schedule is erratic, I know if I stop working out, it will affect me mentally. I will become slow and sluggish, and I won't have the energy to take on the day like I need to."

Graham loves running outside. "We have the gorgeous, massive Piedmont Park in Atlanta. It's nice to get that fresh air," she says. "If you're on a treadmill, you're aware of how much time is going by. When you're outside, you just run and think about it later. The music I listen to when I'm running—Kanye, The Prodigy, Eminem, 50 Cent, and Britney—has the message to win and persevere. It's really empowering. I think you should always push yourself. The hardest you can push might be a half mile. The hardest you can push might be around the block. Regardless of the time, regardless of the miles, keep going!"
