It seems as though the All-Star Flip host is getting in loads of rest, relaxation and fun before she gears up for the press tour for her upcoming thriller Breaking In. The film is set to hit theaters nationwide on May 9.

While Union usually goes for sleek tresses during press, we hope she breaks the braids out more often, especially for her summer looks.
