Bold and the Beautiful Star Courtney Hope Shares Swimsuit Photo of “Happy Birthday”

1. Mostly Vegan Diet

Hope enjoys a mostly plant-based diet. “Because I have food allergies, I avoid dairy, wheat, gluten and eggs,” she says. “I would describe my diet as mostly vegan and plant based with fish like salmon, bass, tuna and cod, mixed in. On rare occasions, I will also have turkey. I supplement my protein intake with Burton Nutrition Plant Based Vegan Protein for shakes and to mix with oats. Garbanzo beans, hemp, flax and sunflower seeds, as well as pine nuts, are also regular staples on my food shopping list, along with Brussel sprouts, asparagus, carrots, peppers, onions, sweet potatoes, avocados and rice cakes.”

2. Her Workout Routine

Hope loves Pilates and weight training. “I think one of the best things to have is a set of lighter hand weights,” she says. “You can always do high reps with low weights and get that toned look. Also, getting some exercise bands help and they don’t cost a lot of money. You can get a set of them for $25-$35. You can put them on doors, then on your arms and legs, and do outer thighs or glute exercises… You can use a gallon jug of water for lifting weights or put books in a backpack to wear on your back and front for weighted squats. If you don’t have the space for a treadmill or StairMaster, get outside and move around for cardio. Just keep moving.”

3. Smoothies and Snacks

Hope has a go-to recipe for healthy smoothies. “I always start with a vegetable vanilla milk, then add a protein powder,” she says. “If it’s a fruit smoothie, I’ll add banana or mangoes or blueberries, or I’ll do an avocado or kale smoothie with flaxseed powder. The protein powder I have is chocolate, so it stays sweet. If I do need a little extra-sweet, I’ll put in a little bit of organic honey… I’ll have half of a rice cake with some sunflower butter or I’ll have fruit or I’ll make chia seed pudding or I’ll cut up a banana and put coconut yogurt on the slices, drizzle them in chocolate, then freeze them.”

4. Cardio Barre Instructor

Hope teaches Cardio Barre and does two sessions a week. “Normally, I like to go twice a week, and I mix that with walking and Pilates, which I am also trained in,” she says. “I try to mix it up, because I’ve learned that my body kind of likes a little bit of everything. I’ve been told my classes skew on the harder side, and that’s just because I have a lot of energy. I tend to dance around a lot and make a lot of jokes. I even once had a Janet Jackson moment where my sports bra broke halfway through a pushup!”

5. Ready For Adventures

Hope is happiest when she’s trying new things. “Life is constantly expanding for me,” she says. “I have a peaked interest in a variety of areas surrounding heath, wellness, artistry, creativity and spirituality. I have some cool fitness projects coming up soon that I am excited for and more acting opportunities are always just around the corner! I just enjoy living life every day to the fullest and being open and ready for any and all new adventures!”

1. Horseback Riding

Heinle has been horseback riding since her parents got her a Shetland pony. “I was interested in sports, but I loved horses,” she says. “I don’t know how my parents swung it. Sandy wasn’t the nicest pony; she stepped on my feet all the time and threw me off a lot. But it was a good learning experience... We used to ride like crazy when we were kids—bareback, no helmets, just crazy stuff.”

2. Dressage Dreams

Heinle got back into horseback riding and dressage after her daughter expressed an interest in it. She now rides a horse called Prince Caspian. “I knew about dressage, but I was an adrenaline junkie—I loved jumping,” she says. “But dressage is exciting in a different way. It’s a rush when he goes from this beautiful walk to a canter. He’s a big mover, but it’s like liquid. I’m just getting to know him. He’s a little shy, still trying to figure it all out because he’s new to the barn. I sing country-western songs to calm him down.”

3. Victoria Newman Legacy

Heinle knows she will always be connected to the role of Victoria Newman. “It scares me to think, like, I never thought I would be in a place so long,” she says. “Not that it’s gonna end anytime soon, but if it were, like this has become such a part of my life and the people I see on day-to-day basis is like…. This is like a legacy for me almost. I’ll be known for his, for being on Y&R because I’ve been there so long.”

5. Making Time For Herself

Heinle starts work before 7 and often isn’t home until late in the day. “I might get lucky and be able to go to work, ride and get home when my kids get home from school,” she says, adding that her love of horseback riding helps with her job. “I know when I’m doing a scene exactly how I want it to go. It took this long to finally get here. That’s not to say I don’t have crappy days where it looks awful and my acting is worse than I’ve ever seen it or days when I think, ‘Why the heck am I even on camera?’ If that is what dressage is like, I’m ready—I’m prepared to fail miserably in the beginning and just enjoy it. Whether it’s riding a horse or acting on a soap opera, if you’re enjoying what you’re doing, none of the other stuff really matters.”

1. Growing Up On TV

Kenney grew up on TV thanks to her role on Shameless. “Growing up on TV the way I did is something I never expected,” she says. “Nobody knew we would go on and on and on for over a decade! I definitely didn’t think that when I was so young and booked the job. It’s a special feeling to have a lot of people be able to connect and relate to you, even though I don’t know them personally.”

2. Dog Mom

Kenney kept busy during the pandemic lockdowns by taking care of her dogs, and doing other things that make her happy. “I have 4 rescue dogs, so I’m constantly on dog mom duty, which I thrive from,” she says. “So a lot of dog adventures, road trips, I started cooking, baking bread like so many of us, and tons of random crafts and FaceTime with my friends.”

3. Proud of The Conners

Kenney is thrilled to be a part of The Connors after all these years. “I think that all of us are very professional,” she says. “And there’s just so many more stories that need to be told through the Conner family and so many other different aspects of life that we’re going to get to tell, and I’m really excited and grateful for that.”

4. Reality TV Fan

Kenney likes to relax in the evenings, focusing on her skincare routine and watching reality TV with her family. “I never go to sleep with my makeup on (I also rarely wear makeup), moisturize and always use sunscreen,” she says. “I love La Mer and use it almost exclusively. Reality shows are my guilty pleasure. I just binge-watched Making of a Model with my mom.”

5. Self-Love and Her Future Plans

Kenney is all about being down to earth when it comes to self-care. “Self-love, to me, kind of goes hand in hand with the best acting advice I have received, which is to not judge yourself or take yourself too seriously!” she says. Kenney has big plans for the future. “I definitely want to further pursue directing. I haven’t in a long time since pre-Shameless! I was young. But my biggest passion is photography, and that’s something I am really enjoying lately. I strictly shoot on film.”

1. Low-Key Beauty

Bailey says her role on Outer Banks inspired a different approach to beauty. "I wear a lot less makeup than I did before the show," she says. "That definitely changed the way I view makeup. I'm more into a natural, glowy look versus a full face. It made me more comfortable in my own skin. I feel a lot more naturally beautiful than I ever have."

2. Dreaming of Cher

Bailey is passionate about any female-driven storylines. “Honestly, my dream role would be if they remade Burlesque. Me and Cher, oh my God,” she says. “At the end of my career, I want the list of things I haven’t done to be very small. I like so many different movies myself. I am a watcher of many genres, whether it’s Burlesque or if they did a modern black-and-white spy movie…I hope people can watch one movie that I’m in and cry and watch one movie that I’m in and laugh and then be terrified — I want to tell all of the stories.”

3. Skincare Style

Bailey is a proud face of Fenty Beauty. “My skin is usually pretty in the middle—not too oily or too dry,” she says. “For the most part, my skin stays clear, but if I’m breaking out, it’s typically either from traveling or it’s that time of the month. I usually gotta up my skincare routine when I’m traveling and always make sure to bring a variety of products with me. In general, my skin priorities are having an even tone and keeping my skin hydrated. I feel like that’s the key.”

4. Social Media Star

Bailey has a huge following on social media, which she says is a double-edged sword. “The best part is I feel like I can interact with people at any moment,” she says. “The other day I got on Live just to talk to people and let them get to know me more. I plan on being solely an actress and I feel like that’s my platform for people to get to know who I am in my private life. I don’t mind getting personal. I’m an open book 90 percent of the time. I’d say the worst part about the following is the other 10 percent of that time, when I want privacy. It brings me a lot of anxiety at random times.”

5. SPF Every Day

Bailey’s skincare regimen is simple yet effective. “My skincare routine has definitely evolved since I started getting into it—lots of trial and error,” she says. “I’d say one of my biggest mistakes was using harsh exfoliants and using them too often. Now, I use way gentler products overall. Another thing is that I, like a lot of other people, underestimated the importance of applying sunscreen daily. I do [apply it daily] now.”
