Natalie Portman did a lot of training to prep for her role in Thor: Love & Thunder. Her trainer, Naomi Pendergast, talked about her diet to Variety. “Natalie‘s typical diet during filming would be a vegan-based breakfast of oats and berries plus a protein shake,” Pendergast said. “For lunch she would have a vegan falafel dish again with a protein shake, and for dinner, a vegan curry and protein shake. This amount of food was obviously way more than Natalie normally eats, but it was essential for her to maintain this throughout filming to keep the muscle she had developed.”
2. Chris Hemsworth

Chris Hemsworth and Portman have played love interests in the Thor films. Hemsworth shared how he stays in shape to play the title character with Men’s Health. “I add in a lot of other sorts of movement, flexibility and functional training. Bulk is nice, but being more agile is definitely important. I’ll do a ton of boxing or Muay Thai workouts. I surf a ton and I do a lot of yoga.”
3. Scarlett Johansson

Scarlett Johansson is one of Portman’s close friends. The two met on The Other Boleyn Girl set. In an interview, Johansson revealed that she wanted to meet Portman for a while. “A major part of why I joined the project, is because Natalie was involved. I’ve been a huge fan of Natalie’s for a long time, and I’ve always loved her choices and her performances. I’d never had the opportunity to work on such an even playing field with my peer. It was a great opportunity for both of us I think.”
4. Mila Kunis

Mila Kunis and Portman starred in Black Swan together. Since then, the two have developed a friendship. In an interview with Glamour, Kunis went bare-faced, and talked about the importance of not using photoshop and editing. “There was a company that I did a photo shoot for once that manipulated the photo so much, I was like, ‘That’s not even me.’ Like, what’s the point? You wanted my name, and then you wanted the version of me that I’m not. I absolutely hate it. Now, do I sometimes want them to depuff my eyes, help me out with a little bit of lighting? [Sure.] But do I want them to stretch my legs, thin out my waist, curve my hips, elongate my neck, blah, blah, blah? No.”
5. Eddie Redmayne

Eddie Redmayne is another friend of Portman’s. He talked about how he handles anxiety to Men’s Health. “There is an anxiety that kicks in about you wanting to serve the story well. When you’re filming you only have a few hours to get a specific scene. You are always trying to come up with all the ideas you can in a specific amount of time. There’s nothing more frustrating than coming home from work after a long day and then coming up with an interesting idea. There’s always anxiety and trepidation. I suppose it keeps me on my toes. It can be really galvanizing, but something you have to learn to control.”
6. Tessa Thompson

Tessa Thompson worked with Portman in Thor: Love & Thunder. To prep for the role, Thompson enlisted trainer Amanda Walker. “We were training up to six times a week and she really worked hard,” Walker told Healthista of the actress’ workout. “The sessions varied because when you are on set you can’t fit in much. We just did what we could. Sometimes it would be an hour, but most of the time it would just be 20-30 minutes of work followed by some stretching and rehab work.”
7. Jaimie Alexander

Jaimie Alexander also worked with Portman in the Thor films. She talked about how she got in shape for the films to Shape Magazine. “I wasn't very healthy in my twenties,” Alexander admitted. “I sat around and ate a lot of crap, and my weight peaked at 150 pounds. Then I got the part in Thor. I felt as if I had a whole new purpose in life. I was like, I can do this, but I was so out of shape. Chris and I started boxing to train for our roles, and I became the athlete I was in high school. I lost 20 pounds and packed on a ton of muscle."

In the world of Hollywood glamour, Salma Hayek and her circle of friends stand out not only for their talent but also for their incredible bodies and wellness routines. In this journey through eleven amazing individuals, including Penelope Cruz, Angelina Jolie, Channing Tatum, Reese Witherspoon, Linda Evangelista, Antonio Banderas, Gemma Chan, Ryan Reynolds, Lady Gaga, and Adam Driver, we'll unveil their secrets to maintaining peak physical and mental health. From unique skincare rituals to fitness regimens and self-care practices, these celebrities offer a glimpse into their lifestyles, inspiring us to prioritize our well-being just as they do. Get ready to be amazed by their beauty, both inside and out.
1. Salma Hayek

Salma Hayek has amazing skin, and she shared her secret with ELLE. “I use an ingredient called tepezcohuite that’s used in Mexico for burn victims because it completely regenerates the skin,” she explained. “There’s no one in the States who is using this ingredient except for us. Some of the ingredients, when I took them to the American labs, they were like ‘Oh my god! How come nobody is using this?’ This is why I have no Botox, no peels, no fillings. I’m 48. I will be 49 this year and I only use my creams.”
2. Penelope Cruz

Hayek and Penelope Cruz are best friends. Cruz shared some of her wellness secrets in an interview with ELLE Canada. “I get enough sleep and exercise. I also practise Transcendental Meditation; I did it for years in my 20s, and it really helped me. An occasional long massage is also great.”
3. Angelina Jolie
Shutterstock
Hayek and Angelina Jolie are good friends. The two starred in the 2021 Marvel movie, Eternals. Jolie is an outspoken advocate for several causes, and she talked about this with The Guardian. “I don’t think I came into this business because I wanted to be an actor,” she revealed. “I came into it because that’s where you could have a voice. When you have somebody who controls the finances and controls the family narrative because they are public, you’re all under that person.”
4. Channing Tatum
Shutterstock
Hayek worked with Channing Tatum on the third film of the Magic Mike series, and the two developed a close friendship. Tatum revealed in this Instagram post that he does a lot of ocean swimming to keep himself in shape. “I have done all kinds of bullshit to get in or stay in shape,” he wrote in the caption. “Almost everything you can think of. And I have to say nothing yet has been more suffocating and exhausting and effective than freestyle wrestling or open ocean water swimming.”
5. Reese Witherspoon
Shutterstock
Hayek and Reese Witherspoon are close friends. Witherspoon talked about her wellness secrets with Harper’s Bazaar. In the interview, she shared how she unwinds after a busy day. “I listen to, like, relaxing music that really sets the mood for bed. It's either, like, scrolling through TikTok or reading a book, and I find reading a book much more beneficial for my mental health. Reading really is like a relaxation technique for me. It takes me to another place. I'm thinking about these characters. I get very immersed in their world. And everything else kind of fades away.”
6. Linda Evangelista
Shutterstock
One of Hayek’s best friends is supermodel Linda Evangelista. The model talked about her Sunday routine to Harper’s Bazaar, and included her skincare secrets. "My beauty routine is almost the same every single day, but of course on the weekend you have more time to enjoy some whims. Sunday is such a great day to end the week and prepare for the next, so I make it as relaxing as possible.”
7. Antonio Banderas
Shutterstock
Hayek has known Antonio Banderas for over 20 years. They have worked on several films together, notably the Puss In Boots franchise. In an interview on The Today Show, Banderas showed his appreciation for Hayek. “She’s a real friend. Every time that we’ve been working together, immediately there is a chemistry that is very difficult to explain. I don’t want to intellectualize it. It just happens, and it’s great.”
8. Gemma Chan
Shutterstock
Hayek worked with Gemma Chan on the film Eternals. Chan opened up about her go-to workout to British Vogue. "It’s a blend of yoga, sun salutations, and a little bit of Pilates core work. It only takes about 10 minutes but I find that if I do that in the morning, it sets me up for the day ahead and my posture is better."
9. Ryan Reynolds
Shutterstock
Hayek worked with Ryan Reynolds on the 2017 film, The Hitman’s Bodyguard, and the 2021 sequel, The Hitman’s Wife’s Bodyguard. Reynolds’ trainer, Don Saladino, talked about the actor’s diet to Men’s Health. “We introduced carbohydrates and I think that’s when his physique changed. Sweet potato is one of his favourite carbohydrates. He’d do oatmeal and protein in the morning. Brown rice and a little bit of fruit. His body became the best it has ever been when he started consuming carbs; it gave his body the energy it needed to start looking the way he wanted to start looking.”
10. Lady Gaga
Shutterstock
Hayek worked with Lady Gaga on the 2021 film, House of Gucci. The singer tells E! News that she’s all about self-care. "It gives me an extra boost of confidence. I feel I'm able to brave whatever is coming my way because I've really taken time for myself."
11. Adam Driver
Shutterstock
Hayek also worked with Adam Driver on House of Gucci. Driver also plays Kylo Ren in the Star Wars series, and works with trainer Simon Waterson to keep himself in shape. Waterson talked about working with the actor to Men’s Journal. “There is no doubt Adam’s military career came through in our workouts,” he said. “I didn’t have to push Adam to go hard. He had all of that motivation. It was more about slowing him down.”

Jump into the personal wellness journeys of actress Jessica Biel and her remarkable circle of friends, encompassing stars from various facets of the entertainment industry. Each segment of the article highlights the unique approach these individuals take towards maintaining their health, fitness, and overall well-being. From Jessica Biel's skincare routine, simplified to essentials by her makeup artist Daniel Martin, to the dietary transformations of Beverley Mitchell, Biel’s co-star from "7th Heaven," this article offers a diverse array of personal stories and strategies. It includes insights into Jennifer Garner's minimalist skincare routine, Joey Fatone's weight loss journey, and Lance Bass's fitness adaptations as a new parent. Read on.
1. Jessica Biel

Biel’s makeup artist, Daniel Martin, shared her skincare secrets and favorite products with Refinery29. “There’s not a ton of moving parts when it comes to Jessica’s skin-care prep,” Martin said. “It’s basically two parts: toning and moisturizing. To start, I love this Mario Badescu lavender toner because it’s calming and gives the skin a balanced refresh.”
2. Beverley Mitchell

Beverley Mitchell was Biel’s co-star on 7th Heaven, and the two have remained best friends. Mitchell shared her diet secrets and changes in this blog post. “My stomach has always been an issue for me, growing up I always had horrible stomach aches. Nothing I ate ever settled with me and I was always sick. Years ago I finally went to a doctor and found out that my body struggled with many different foods. I instantly cut all problem foods out of my diet and noticed instantly a huge change.”
3. Jennifer Garner
See on Instagram
One of Biel’s closest friends is Jennifer Garner. In an interview with InStyle, Garner talked about her skincare routine. “My skincare routine takes about 90 seconds at the most. I think I spend longer brushing my teeth than I spend doing my skincare routine. I would rather have it be something that I can do consistently every single night without fail than feeling like I’ve got to get set up to put moisturizer on.”
4. Joey Fatone

Joey Fatone is a close friend of Biel’s and her husband’s, Justin Timberlake. He talked about his weight loss secrets to OK! Magazine. "I hate working out so there's a nice good jump start to really start my journey into getting back into like being healthy and working out and stuff like that again. And I think it definitely does, because you've seen the results now. And I don't wanna screw that up."
5. Lance Bass
Lance Bass/Instagram
Lance Bass is another of Biel and Timberlake’s friends. He shared how his workouts have changed since becoming a parent to Bustle, and shared his favorite new machine. “I just got a Tonal machine, and it completely changed my life. Even if I only have 10 minutes, I can go to my bedroom and lift a little and I feel better. Plus, it comes with virtual trainers, so I can get workouts tailored to my shoulder and knee injuries.”
6. Alyssa Milano
See on Instagram
Alyssa Milano is friends with Biel. She shared some of her wellness secrets with The Cut, and revealed that she loves the Atkins diet. “I’m not really good at dieting and I just think that for me, that word is setting myself up to not succeed. So really, the Atkins lifestyle has allowed me to not feel deprived, and to keep my energy level up throughout my crazy, crazy day. I feel healthier while I’m trying to balance it all.”
7. Chelsea Handler
See on Instagram
Biel’s friend, Chelsea Handler, shared her wellness and life secrets with Byrdie. “I'm focusing on the macro, instead of the micro—focusing on spreading joy and light… and focusing on skiing, that's very important to my well-being, because I love to ski more than anything else. And focusing on travel and doing the work that you know, work that's meaningful to me. Spreading good messages, not taking my platform for granted in any way. Everything I do is with that in mind to actually make a contribution rather than doing something that's just going to get me more money.”
8. Scarlett Johansson

Scarlett Johansson is another of Biel’s friends. She talked about developing a skincare routine to TODAY. "What actually got me out of that decade cycle, was [saying] ‘OK, I'm just gonna stop everything, I'm going to stop all the actives and I'm just going to gently exfoliate my skin and moisturize every day.’ And I realized actually putting moisture back into my skin was what it needed, because my skin barrier was so imbalanced."
9. Melanie Lynskey

Melanie Lynskey worked with Biel on Candy. Lynskey is open about her struggles with body image and insecurities, and talked about how she deals with it to InStyle. "Sometimes, I get tired of hearing about my body, even when it is positive. I just, you know, feel like I need a break from thinking about it and hearing about it and I think all women feel that way.”
10. Pablo Schrieber
See on Instagram
Pablo Schrieber worked with Biel on Candy as well. He shared how he got in shape for his role in Halo to Men’s Health. “I have a great trainer, Eddie Raburn, who I've been working with since [2018 heist movie] Den of Thieves. We attacked this one in some familiar ways and some new ways. I'm 44 years old now, and every day that passes, things get a little bit harder, so there's a lot more focus on recovery and mobility in addition to the usual routine of just eating a lot and lifting a lot of weights.”
11. Raul Esparza
John Lamparski/Getty Images
Raul Esparza is another of Biel’s Candy co-stars. In an interview with Token Theatre Friends, Esparza argued for more complex representation of Latin characters. “I think Latinx culture feels too varied and too multiple to be contained. And people in Hollywood especially—I feel a little bit less so with the theater because the theater is a physical place where talent can really blossom, talented people can come in the room and kind of blow you away and they’ll get hired, hopefully. With Hollywood, I think that there are constant efforts to put people in boxes because it is easier, because you are casting personalities, types. And I think that also, in American culture, there is such a constant interest in things being Black and white, yay or nay, A or B, and there’s no room for complexity. And that means there’s no room for complexity in human experience either. There’s no room for the difficult explanations.”

1. Drew Barrymore

Drew Barrymore shared some of her wellness secrets in an interview with Shape. She says that she likes to meditate. "A 20-minute [meditation session] can be such a game changer, but for anyone who's like, I can't find that 20 minutes or that discipline [to meditate], I so relate."
2. Cameron Diaz

Cameron Diaz is Barrymore’s best friend. The two starred in the Charlie’s Angels film series. Diaz opened up about her diet in an interview with Bon Appetit. “Since my mid-30s, I've been conscientious about my eating and good nutrition. It's not really something I grew up with. What I really learned about aging was the five pillars of well-being. They're integrated and we need 'em all.”
3. Lucy Liu

Lucy Liu and Barrymore starred in the Charlie’s Angels films together. In an interview with Women’s Health, Liu says that she doesn’t believe in following societal norms. “I do what I want according to how I feel,” she says. “I don’t have to fall into a social norm of ‘now you’re going to get married.’ No! Not because I’m rebelling against it. When it’s right, it’s going to be right. But I’m not going to do it for the sake of doing it. Marriage is not on my bucket list. I don’t have a bucket list.”
4. Kristen Wiig
Shutterstock
Barrymore’s friend, Kristen Wiig, shared her diet secrets in an interview with Women’s Health. “I'm a vegetarian; I eat a lot of tofu and soy. I drink a lot of water, and I'm addicted to cranberry juice. I do have a splurge day once a week when I can eat whatever I want. It's good, because it helps you stay on track the rest of the week. In the beginning, I ate anything I could see. But it's funny: The more you do it, the less you end up splurging."
5. Nancy Juvoven

Nancy Juvoven and Barrymore have been friends since the 90’s. She shared her secrets for a healthy marriage with her husband, Jimmy Fallon, on Instagram. “You really want to pick someone who you don’t have to like every single thing the same, but you kind of have to have the same values in a way,” she said. “What makes you both laugh is fun because then you laugh together at the same stuff.”
6. Adam Sandler

Adam Sandler and Barrymore have starred in several films together. He revealed his weight loss secrets on The Ellen Show. “I did the intermittent fasting…” Sandler said. “I allowed myself 6 hours a day to eat and just get so excited during those 6 hours that I ate a lot of pizzas. I kept looking at the clock going, ‘Alright, you got 40 minutes left to eat,’ and I would go bananas.”
7. Ross Mathews

Ross Mathews co-hosts The Drew Barrymore Show. He shared his weight loss secrets in an interview with Page Six. "I've lost like 60 pounds, but I've kept it [off] for like three years. Cooking myself. Eating my 'rossipes,' choice by choice, deciding to stick around for as long as humanly possible. You never win this battle, you win by being in the fight."
8. Reese Witherspoon

Reese Witherspoon takes cooking classes with Barrymore. She shared some of her skincare secrets with Harper’s Bazaar. "I believe just the importance of taking off your makeup every night, moisturizing your skin, and sunscreen! It really accumulates — what you do to your skin when you're 18 shows up on your face when you're 40." 
9. Elliot Page
Shutterstock
Barrymore’s friend, Elliot Page shared some of his favorite recipes with Men’s Health. "Probably my favorite thing to cook is a big spread of roasted vegetables of all kinds," he says. "Fennel, broccoli, cauliflower. Ummm. Japanese sweet potatoes, I love. And then brown rice, I love. And then I just kinda make some tofu in the pan, then steam or boil it—do you know kombu? Seaweed? You boil it, and then—this is funny—and then you mix it all in with some tahini or something, and then you roll it in the kombu. I’m telling you, it’s good."
10. Toni Collette

Barrymore’s friend, Toni Collette, shared her favorite summer workouts with E! News. “When I think of summer I think of being free. It's a time for letting loose, no schedules, lots of swimming and being with friends and family. I feel really fit at the moment. I make sure I do cardio most days and I am a big fan of Pilates and yoga, so I do a combination of both."

Nina Dobrev shared her workout secrets in an interview with Shape. “I actually did not do a lot of [strength training] in the past – I only did yoga and ran in terms of training,” she said. “Strength training with weights and such a regimented schedule has been new to my life, and now that I understand the way it all works, the science behind it, it’s changed everything for me. I eat so much more than I used to, and I feel so much leaner and stronger than I ever imagined I’d be.”
2. Julianne Hough

Julianne Hough is Dobrev’s best friend. She shared her skincare and wellness secrets in an interview with Bustle. “On the physical side, skin is my go-to for everything. Whether that’s hydrating with water, what I’m putting in my body, what I’m putting on my body — it’s all the same for me. I am a big believer in [the idea] that you need to sweat to release those toxins. Whether that’s pilates or dance or yoga or cycling — I love variety, so it not only helps with my physical self, but it also helps clear my mind.”
3. Jessica Szohr

Jessica Szohr is one of Dobrev’s close friends, as both were CW stars at the same time. Szohr shared her skincare secrets with Yahoo. “Right now I’m using Obagi face wash, toner and lotion. It’s a gel face wash, a really light toner and a really light lotion. Sunscreen is a really big thing. My mom was always like, ‘Sunscreen!’ but as I got older, I realized you need to put in on –  especially living in L.A., the sun’s always out.”
4. Emma Watson

Emma Watson worked with Dobrev in The Perks of Being A Wallflower. Watson talked about wanting to use sustainable products with Into The Gloss. “Recently, I’ve become super interested in sustainability and transparency and understanding what I’m putting on my face and on my body. It’s been a fun little mission to see how far I can go with it… Can I create a completely sustainable wardrobe? Can I dress sustainably on the red carpet? Can I put together a hair and makeup look with completely organic products? I needed to figure out if it was achievable or not. You can't talk the talk if you don't walk the walk. So that’s what I’ve been discovering over the past couple of years.”
5. Selena Gomez

Selena Gomez is close friends with Dobrev, and has invited her to her birthday parties. She opened up about her skincare secrets with ELLE. "I just can't understand when—and no offense—people have to wear makeup all the time, and they'll say, 'Oh, you can sleep with a tinted moisturizer or a self tanner on your face and you can wake up.' For me, I just think that's not my vibe, plus I do breakout. For me, I can't really sleep with things on my body or tinted things just because I get worried. It's not my vibe."
6. Lily Collins

Dobrev is close friends with actress Lily Collins. In an interview with Shape, the Emily In Paris star opened up about her diet. “I’m a clean eater. I love chicken, fish, and vegetables and grains like quinoa, but I don’t eat red meat. I steer clear of processed foods. I’m very farm-to-table; growing up in the English countryside, it was a way of life, not a trend.”
7. Ruby Rose

Ruby Rose is another of Dobrev’s best friends. She shared her diet secrets with Life & Style. “When I’m exhausted and have a full day and just want a hamburger, I’ll just make an Impossible burger or Beyond Meat. I don’t love meat, but it’s the idea of a hamburger. It’s a form of junk food I want and need, but it’s still good for me. Fries and a burger.”

Kriti Sanon knows that staying fit doesn’t have to feel like a chore. The Bollywood star recently shared a video on Instagram rocking two-piece workout gear, proving that her fitness philosophy is all about keeping things fun and challenging. From TRX routines to hip thrusts, Sanon mixes up her workouts to stay motivated and strong. “It’s gotta be fun,” she says—and judging by her energy in the gym, she’s clearly found the perfect balance. Here’s how Sanon keeps herself in top shape with a variety of exercises that work both body and mind.

            
                She Does TRX

Sanon does a lot of things to keep herself in shape. She is seen using TRX cables in her Instagram video. NIFS states that these exercises have a lot of benefits. “If you have ever taken a class or done some of even the most basic exercises, you quickly see that core activation is one of the most important aspects. The workouts are simple yet very challenging, and you can easily complete a total-body workout only using one piece of equipment in 20 minutes.”

            
                Strength Training

Sanon is seen doing a lot of strength training exercises in her Instagram video. Strength training has a lot of health benefits. The Mayo Clinic states, “By stressing your bones, strength training can increase bone density and reduce the risk of osteoporosis. Strength training can help you manage or lose weight, and it can increase your metabolism to help you burn more calories.”

            
                She Does Hip Thrusts

Sanon is seen doing hip thrusts with a shoulder press in her Instagram video. Hip thrusts have a lot of benefits. Gymless says, “Hip thrusts are a controlled and powerful movement, mainly focusing on the glutes, hamstrings, lower back, and core. This exercise is vital for developing a stronger posterior chain, contributing to improved athletic performance, alleviating lower back pain, and enhancing overall physique. Considering that about 65 million Americans experience some form of back pain, hip thrusts are a great exercise to include in your routine.”

            
                She Does Russian Twists

Another exercise that Sanon is seen doing in her Instagram video is Russian twists with a weight. Gymless says that this exercise is very beneficial. “Russian Twists are a great exercise that develops all parts of your core, especially the obliques, it also targets the shoulders and hips. This exercise involves rotating your torso from side-to-side while maintaining a sit up position with your feet off the ground. This rotational movement often occurs in sports, which makes it a popular exercise amongst athletes. It is speculated that this was developed during the Cold War by the former Soviet Union as a training exercise for the Russian Soldiers.”

            
                She Uses A Stationary Bike

Sanon also shared this workout video on Instagram. In it, she is seen using a stationary bike. Penn State PRO Wellness reports that stationary bike workouts have a lot of health benefits. “Riding a stationary bike can help build strength in your legs and lower body, especially if you use a higher resistance. The pedaling action can help strengthen your calves, hamstrings, and quadriceps. Additionally, it can work the muscles in your core, back, and glutes.”

Alice De Bortoli doesn’t just light up Instagram with her stunning fashion and effortless style—she also shares the secrets behind her enviable beach-ready physique. The Italian influencer keeps her followers in the loop when it comes to fitness, beauty, and wellness, proving that looking and feeling great is all about consistency. From skincare rituals to core-sculpting workouts, De Bortoli’s daily habits make it clear that staying in shape is about more than just hitting the gym. Whether she’s cooking up homemade meals, breaking a sweat, or showing off a fresh new look, she’s all about feeling her best from the inside out. Here are five of her go-to habits for maintaining a strong, confident, and glowing presence all year long.

            
                She Takes Care Of Her Skin

De Bortoli has impressive skin. Naturally, she takes care of it on a regular basis. De Bortoli shared this video on Instagram sharing her skincare routine. She captioned it, “The secret to perfect skin? Here is my step by step routine! ✨💦🎀 What product can you absolutely not live without?”

            
                She Changed Her Hair Color
            
            
        Alice De Bortoli/Instagram
De Bortoli recently changed her hair color. She explained why in the caption of this Instagram post. “The good thing about this color is that it does not require frequent touch-ups and it easily adapts to natural hair growth, it is versatile and can enhance any body and face shape 🧡for those who are tired of blonde or brown, bronde is the solution to change harmony without distortion 🤍for those who have a fair complexion, the most golden tone is recommended 🤎 for the dark complexion, on the other hand, more ash brown ❤️ 🔥what can I say... For me the bronde conquered, and what do you think?”

            
                She Cooks
            
            
        Alice De Bortoli/Instagram
De Bortoli likes to cook, and she was taught to do so by her grandmother. She shared this video on Instagram of herself and her grandmother cooking together. De Bortoli captioned it, “Grandparents are wealth in society, my grandmother loves to cook and do it with her since I was a child. She has always inspired my creativity, patience, discipline and order but above all traditions, history, and the concreteness of nature's gifts. The greatest teaching my grandparents passed on to me is respect for people, the environment, animals and the kitchen... Today together we made Carnival Frittelle, an easy, quick dessert that adults and kids love. The ingredients are few and simple (but of high quality) and, trust me, the result is guaranteed: nice round but above all soft and tasty.”

            
                She Works Her Abs
            
            
        Alice De Bortoli/Instagram
De Bortoli shared this video of herself working out on Instagram. In it, she is seen doing core exercises like sit-ups. Core exercises are extremely important. The Mayo Clinic says, “Strong core muscles make it easier to do many activities. When your core muscles are strong, it's easier to swing a golf club, get a glass from the top shelf and bend down to tie your shoes. Strong core muscles help athletes, such as runners. That's because weak core muscles can lead to more fatigue, less endurance and injuries.”

            
                She Works Out With Others

In the previous Instagram video, De Bortoli is seen working out with a friend. Better Health says that this has a lot of benefits. “You’re less likely to get bored when you have a workout buddy, especially a friend. While you’re catching up, having a laugh, encouraging each other, you’re also getting healthier. It’s a win-win. Chatting to a friend during exercise and breaks can help time pass quickly too. You’ll have more options as well, such as a game of tennis or squash.”

Kristin Cavallari is a reality TV and fashion icon. Since she debuted on Laguna Beach, people have clamoured for her fashion and beauty secrets. Cavallari recently shared her eye makeup secrets on Instagram, after several people asked for them. She captioned the post, “This is for the girlies in my DMs asking about this eye every time I do it. Sorry the lighting is awful. I also don’t know why the audio isn’t in sync for half of it 🫣 but here ya go 💗”

            
                She's Less Strict With Her Diet

Cavallari has written several cookbooks, and they have changed as her diet has changed. While promoting her book, Truly Simple with EatingWell, she revealed that her diet is less strict. “I've gotten to a point in my life where not everything has to be so perfect anymore,” Cavallari said. “I used to be so strict about what I was putting in my body. I'm still very healthy and very conscious of it, but I've gotten a little bit more lax. True Roots and True Comfort had nothing ‘white’ in them: no white flour, no white sugar, no white salt. But in Truly Simple, I bend a little bit in a few of the recipes, which really reflects where I am in my life and my new way of eating. Everything is a little bit more relaxed around here now.’

            
                She Loves Cauliflower

Cavallari tells EatingWell that she loves making foods with cauliflower. “I love cauliflower because I think it's very versatile, and there's actually a Sweet Harissa Cauliflower recipe in Truly Simple that's my absolute favorite cauliflower recipe on the planet. If you've ever been to True Food Kitchen, their cauliflower was the inspiration behind it. There's this sweet harissa dressing that's on it, and there's little chopped-up dates in it, so it has that nice balance between sweet and savory. It's the absolute best.”

            
                She Loves Salad

Cavallari likes to make salads. She shared one of her favorite recipes with EatingWell. “This salad has a few of my favorite things: salmon (which has omega-3s and is so, so good for you), bacon (no explanation needed), avocado (healthy fats), and spicy tomatillo ranch dressing (just yum). Together, they create culinary heaven. If you aren't familiar with tomatillos, they're similar to tomatoes but are slightly less sweet and are perfect when drenched in ranch.”

            
                She Works With A Trainer

Cavallari tells Us Weekly that a lot of her gym sessions are with her personal trainer. “He kicks my ass,” she says. “He pushes me really hard. He has me actually lifting really heavy weight, the heaviest weight I’ve ever lifted in my entire life. I feel the best I ever have. I feel like I’m the strongest I’ve ever been.”

Cavallari shared some of her wellness secrets in an interview with Us Weekly. She says that consistency is one of her biggest priorities. “My goal is sort of, right now, just to maintain the muscle that I have,” she says. “I’m really petite. I have no hips. I’m just small. And so if I don’t work out for like a week or two, I feel like all my muscle goes away. So it is about consistency for me.”
