One of her best-known gigs, "The Kitchen," doubles as a talk show. Her interactions with her co-hosts allowed her personality to truly shine, as do the fun looks Anderson rocks from time to time. She's also always very real with her fans, speaking honestly about her struggles with ulcerative colitis and how they impacted her diet. And who can forget Anderson's elation over wearing a pair of jeans?

On April 8, Sunny Anderson posted a video to Instagram that shows her having a self-care moment with a face mask.

"It's been a crazy year, I'm so excited for 47," she says, getting up close to her mirror. "This is what 47 looks like!"

In her caption, Anderson expresses her gratitude for life, even if it's sometimes a little tough. "I'm so truly thankful for this gift," she writes. "Wow. Life is something else. I can't wait for 47 tomorrow!" Her fellow Food Network stars wished her a happy birthday in the comments, as did many of her fans. Others thanked her for being herself and wished her the best year yet. The post got more than 6,000 likes and a whopping 800+ comments, all of which this queen of course deserves.
