Bailey and her sister Halle have a very close relationship. "I'm so grateful that I was placed on this earth with a sister, because I don't have to go through life alone," Bailey said to TODAY. "Because no matter how far apart we are, we're always probably feeling the same thing at the same time — even though it could be completely different situations, which I think is crazy."

2. She Uses Music As Therapy

Bailey talked about why she loves making music in her TODAY interview. "I have had the best time being able to create music and really show my confidence that's on the inside and put it into the music," she said. "And it's just been really fun. Music is therapy for me. And it is a little nerve-wracking knowing that the world hears your darkest and most inner thoughts. But it's so freeing."

3. She’s Grown Comfortable With Herself

Bailey opened up about her wellness in an interview with Peace of Mind with Taraji. She says that she has learned to love her body. “Ever since I was a little girl, I've always been curvy," Bailey said. "I remember the first time I got stretch marks — I was 12 at this field trip and we were hiking. I'm like, 'What is this?' I still have them all on my thighs. But as I've gotten older, I have learned to really appreciate my curves. I love my stretch marks."

4. She’s Not Letting Things Get To Her

Bailey has had to deal with a lot of criticism. However, she revealed in her Peace of Mind interview that she’s not letting things get to her. "I can't sit here and lie and say, 'Oh, I'm bulletproof, nothing hurt me,' because it honestly did," Bailey said. "And I think what hurt me the most was when I would see some post saying how I'm doing this for male attention, or I'm just trying to sell sex to get attention for myself. At first I was really getting sad about it, but then I told myself, 'Why would I let that control my thoughts and feelings when I know it's a lie?' I kind of had to not give it so much power. I'm not doing anything crazy, I'm just appreciating and loving my body, and I don't think there's anything wrong with that."

5. She Removes Her Makeup

Bailey and her sister are ambassadors for Neutrogena. She tells Refinery29 that she loves their makeup wipes. “The wipes are so gentle on your skin, and they don’t burn,” she explained. “They get everything off, including the stubborn, waterproof eyeliner, and that makes my routine so much shorter, especially for those nights when I feel really lazy.”

Amber Riley first made waves when she played the role of Mercedes Jones on the hit series, Glee. Since then, she’s starred in several different productions, including the NBC live special of The Wiz. She also played the lead role in Dreamgirls on the West End, which netted her an Olivier Award. Riley just shared a new reel on Instagram. In it, she danced on a boat wearing a floral bikini. She captioned the post, “Avoiding stress and drama as much as humanly possible. DO NOT DISTURB.” Read on to see 5 ways Amber Riley stays in shape and the photos that prove they work—and to get beach-ready yourself, don't miss these essential 30 Best-Ever Celebrity Bathing Suit Photos!

1. She Dances

Riley has a lot of experience with dance. She had to learn choreography for her role on Glee, and her roles on stage. Riley even won the 17th season of Dancing with the Stars, and opened up about her time on the show to PageSix. “‘Dancing With the Stars,’ honestly, doing that show, really helped me with my confidence. I will always be grateful for that time because I got to show myself in all my glory.”

2. She’s Comfortable With Herself

Riley is all about body positivity. She opened up about her process to PageSix. “I started loving on my body [because] you can’t dance in that way and not love yourself. You have to love your body because you’re moving it in such a way where if you aren’t loving every single curve, it’s not going to connect with other people.”

3. She Has A Routine

Riley opened up about her wellness routine to Bustle. She says that she likes to have a daily routine. “Having a routine really helps my mental health, so I try to wake up every day at the same time. I walk my dog, then I usually meditate or pray. It helps me to clear my mind before I come back and look at my schedule for the day.”

4. She Spends Less Time On Her Phone

Riley tells Bustle that she is working on spending less time on her phone. “Not as often as I should, but I usually put my phone in a different room when I go to bed, and I use a traditional alarm clock to wake up so that my phone isn’t the first thing I look at in the morning. Or you can just give your phone to someone you trust, and ask them not to give it to you for the entire day.”

5. She Loves Fast Paced Exercises

Riley talked about her favorite exercises to Bustle. She says that she likes fast-paced workouts. “I tried yoga and it just wasn’t for me. I liked the zen-ness of it, but the poses were so hard. When I workout, I like to sweat — so I’m on the stairs or I’m on the bike. That’s how I like to get my body moving.”
