In an interview on her company, Wondermind’s website, Selena Gomez talked about mental health days, and when she needs them. “Usually, the first 10 minutes of the day I can kind of gauge how my day will go. Sometimes I just must accept it’s going to be a bad day and that’s OK. We all have bad days.”

Gomez and Taylor Swift have been best friends for years. Swift opened up about her body image struggles with British Vogue. “I now can really recognise and diagnose toxic messages being sent to me by society, by culture about my body,” she said. “I’m a woman, I’m not a coat hanger. I need to feel healthy in my life, and I need to take pleasure in food, and I need to not use my body as an exercise of control when I feel out of control in my life.”

Gomez and Vanessa Hudgens appeared in the film Spring Breakers. Hudgens shared her workout secrets with Parade. “My body builds muscle very quickly and I don't love the way it looks on my body. So I find the way that I achieve the body that I want for myself is to lengthen, to lean and to tone. And I get that all with yoga, Pilates, and Soul. I love Modo Yoga. I love a heated yoga class. I love to sweat. I love having to change my clothes after a workout. I think that there's no better feeling than when you really sweat during a workout.”

Cara Delevigne and Gomez have been friends for years. They even played love interests in the second season of Only Murders In The Building. Delevigne shared her fitness secrets with Women’s Health. "My workout routine isn’t something that’s fixed," she says. "I try to listen to my body and do at least 10 minutes of movement a day. It's hard to motivate yourself to work out when it’s the same activity every day, so I can’t stand going to the gym.”

Gomez and Nicola Peltz have been spotted hanging out over the past year. Peltz shared some of her skincare secrets with Cosmopolitan. “Drink as much water as you can. I know it's hard and not fun to do, but just drink it. Never sleep with make up, wash it off! Always wear sunblock. Get a really good serum, my favourite is the SkinCeuticals it's called Blemish +Age [Defence Corrective Serum], I'm obsessed with it. Moisturise your face, the more the better, go to bed all moisturised.”

I know it doesn’t appeal to everyone, but I’m grateful to the ones that it does.”

I encourage people to try it and see it for themselves. Whatever your fitness level, it’s a workout where you can truly start where you are."
