Anna Shumate is taking bathroom selfies – in a black tank top. In a new social media post the influencer shows off her inked up arms while posing for pics in the mirror. “Always in this damn bathroom,” she captioned the series of Instagram snaps. “Beautiful,” commented one of her followers. “Baddie,” added another. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.


1. Reading

Anna loves to read. “Heavy on the dnd,” she captioned a poolside snap of herself deeply engulfed in a book. One Harvard study published in Social Science & Medicine found that people who read books regularly had a 20% lower risk of dying over the next 12 years compared with people who weren't readers or who read periodicals.

2. Coffee

Anna is a coffee drinker. Her order: “cappuccino with oat milk please,” she captioned a post. According to the Cleveland Clinic, there are several benefits of drinking coffee in moderation. “It acts on your brain to improve memory, mood, reaction times, and mental function,” they say, citing a study finding that caffeine can improve endurance and performance during exercise. It is also antioxidant-rich, can ward off diabetes, prevent neurologic disease, lower cancer risk, and ward off depression, they point out.

3. Hiking

In her free time, you can find Anna outside hiking. “I fall more and more in love with this giant floating rock everyday,” she captioned a photo from one of her excursions on Earth Day. Why should you take a hike? The National Parks Service explains that the physical benefits of hiking include building stronger muscles and bones, improving sense of balance and heart health, and decreasing the risk of certain respiratory problems.

4. Volleyball

Anna is always game for volleyball. “Volleyball anyone ?” she captioned a post. According to one study, recreational volleyball played with fewer players on a smaller court can be an effective training modality to stimulate decrease in LDL cholesterol and resting HR.

5. Walking

Anna makes sure to get her steps in. “Morning walk,” she captioned an Instagram post. Going for a daily walk can be a game changer in terms of exercise, especially at a brisk speed. One study published in JAMA Internal Medicine found that walking at a brisk pace for about 30 minutes a day led to a reduced risk of heart disease, cancer, dementia and death, compared with walking a similar number of steps but at a slower pace.

Hart shares a lot of her wellness secrets on Instagram. One thing she likes to do is go on retreats. She opened up about her experience at a retreat on her account. “I went on holiday to a health retreat and have had thousands of messages with questions and encouragement, asking to follow my journey…My skin is glowing, I'm less bloated, I toned up through lots of fun exercise classes with friends. I had the best time on what is a slightly out there holiday so wanted to share!”

2. She Calls Out Body Shamers

Hart unfortunately has had to deal with haters on social media. In particular, she’s dealt with body shaming. Hart isn’t afraid of calling them out, and did so on Instagram. “In what parallel universe would you go up to a stranger in the street and tell them they look pathetic and ill, before or too thin,” she writes. “Luckily for me it's not (I don't get it very often) - I enjoy wine and takeaways too much!) but it's actually very offensive to some people.”

3. She Does Outdoor Activities

Hart did a lot of outdoor activities on her wellness retreat. She opened up about what she did to stay in shape on Instagram. “Hauled myself out of bed everyday for a hike between 5-11km sometimes in a 5kg vest... Jumped in a river...

4. She Wants To Change Standards

Hart opened up about the intense working out and dieting she felt like she had to do prior to Love Island on an episode of Embarrassing Bodies. Hart says that she wants to change body and beauty standards in society, and is a part of an Instagram campaign to help with this. “I thought I needed to do that to be attractive to the boys that would be in the villa. We've been conditioned that thinner is prettier and that's wrong. There shouldn't be one body type that is beautiful. I think people need to realise that your dream body should just be your own body."

5. She Cooks

Hart is an avid chef, and she likes to use healthy ingredients in her meals. She shared this video on Instagram revealing her beef recipe. She captioned the post, “SLOW COOKER BEEF. 🥩 😋 One of my fave dinners because it’s hearty, yummy and full of real ingredients 😍 ingredients are: (Serves 4) 1kg Casserole Steak (last time I used really expensive ribeye, but honestly, the cheaper casserole stuff, about £3 a pack, works so much better!) Bag of casserole veg. Soy Sauce, Red Wine, Water, Worcestershire Sauce, Salt, Pepper, Garlic and Herb Seasoning to taste. 2 beef stock cubes. I also added dumplings.”

1. Subhead Goes Right Here

In an essay for Women’s Health Alicia revealed that being bullied by Donald Trump for her weight led to her developing anorexia and bulimia. “Luckily, I was able to recover with help from my mother and the rest of my family. Just as they did when I was growing up, my family gave me so much positive feedback about who I am as a person. That reassurance, along with therapy, helped me overcome my disorders. My friends and colleagues in the soap opera I was starring in at the time also helped take care of me by creating a kind and supportive environment for me to work in. It took time, but I learned to feel positive about myself and regain my self-esteem. I began focusing on working out to be strong, healthy, and feel good—not to lose weight,” she said.

2. She Takes Baths

Alicia takes baths as a self-care method. “Already relaxing for tonight's great performance,” she captioned a photo of herself soaking in a hot tub. How can baths do your body and mind good? They have been linked to better sleep and even found helpful to minimize anxiety and depression. One recent study even found that they may even boast cardiovascular benefits.

3. She Exercises

Alicia revealed to Telemundo that she lost 25 pounds after going on a reality show, attributing it to exercise. “I have to share the La Casa de los Famosos diet, because everyone asks me. They’ve made me crazy about social media: Alicia, please, what did you do? How did you get like this? Give me all the advice,” she said. “It was a lot of effort, a lot of discipline. I have always believed that exercise cures everything, and when I feel really bad or energy is very heavy, it is a good remedy.”

4. She Runs

Alicia loves running to stay in shape. “Running 🏃‍♀️ time! It's a beautiful day,” she captioned a photo of herself on a jog with a pal. According to the Mayo Clinic, running is great for cardiovascular health, muscle building, and weight loss. “For every mile run, the average person will burn approximately 100 calories,” they say.

5. She Drinks Protein Shakes

Alicia loves starting the day with a protein shake, fueling her body for a workout. “Good morning ☀️ my loves! There's nothing a good #proteinshake can't alleviate! With energy and positivity to go out ♀️ 🏃 to the street to live and that's it!” she captioned a photo.

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?”

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

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

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.”

She Shared Her Eye Makeup Trick

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.”

Rebeca Andrade is an Olympic gymnast. She is the most decorated Olympic athlete from Brazil, having won two gold medals, three silvers, and a bronze. Andrade recently shared some highlights of her native Brazil on Instagram. In some of them, she posed in a swimsuit while wading. Andrade captioned the post, “SC-&-RS🏕️🌅❤️ Being free is a paradox. It's committing to the life you want, without running away from the work that it entails. It's building freedom every day, with conscious choices and, mainly, with the acceptance that freedom is not the absence of limits, but the autonomy to know which ones are worth it and which ones are not. Being free is being willing to carry the weight of your own life and still find it funny.”

She Swims

In her Instagram post, Andrade is seen swimming. The Cleveland Clinic says that swimming has a lot of benefits. “Swimming takes much less of a toll on your body than, say, running or riding a bike. That’s because exercising in water lessens the impact of your body weight on your joints.”

She Does Gymnastics

Gymnastics is the main way Andrade stays in shape. British Gymnastics states that the sport has a lot of benefits. “When you take part in gymnastics, or any sport for that matter, your body releases chemicals called endorphins. These also help to trigger a positive feeling in the body which can have a positive impact on your happiness and mental wellbeing. This can help to combat feelings of anxiety and depression.”

She Prioritizes Safety

Andrade talked about her training approach in an interview with the Olympics website. She says that she and her coach prioritize her safety, and that she will skip floor sessions if she isn’t able to do it. "I talk a lot with my coach and we trust in each other. We always try to be really safe, and do floor in the correct moments. He believes in me. I'm never going to lie to not do it. So, when I really tell him that I can't do it, it's because I cannot and he always respects that.”

She Sets Goals

In her Olympics website interview, Andrade talked about her commitment and goal setting. Specifically, she talked about her goal to make the Olympic team. “The other [goal], which is the main one, is for us to qualify as a team,” Andrade said. “I think it will be very important for me, for my team, and the focus is on that, whatever happens there, the result is a consequence of our work, of our commitment. But I really want to be there with my team and be happy and healthy.”

She Cooks

Andrade makes sure to eat healthy. She also likes to cook a lot of her own meals. She shared some of her favorite things to make in an interview with NPR. “There was one that was with potatoes and cheese, chicken. There’s cake. There’s cookies. A lot of things.”
