Dua Lipa is sharing book recommendations with her 88 million social media followers. Lipa, 28, posted a picture of herself wearing a red sports shirt, posing with Noughts & Crosses by Malorie Blackman. "Noughts & Crosses is my absolute favorite of her books. I remember devouring each book in the series as they came out in the early 2000s, desperate for the next installment. Part of the reason it is so enduring is because while it is written for young adults, it is still a brazenly political read. It was my first step to understanding racism and classism, opening the door for questions that are just starting to form in young minds," she captioned the post. Here's what Lipa does to stay healthy, positive, and happy.Â
Typical Day
Lipa's typical day is very busy, so she works out early. "I woke up at 7.30, I did Pilates, I had a shower, I had a coffee, I recorded a podcast," she told The Guardian. "I got dressed, I came here, I had an interview. You're my second interview. I have one more after you, and then I go to rehearsals. After rehearsals, I go home, I cook dinner, I go to bed, and that's my day."
Best Friends Forever

Lipa's female friendships are an important part of her life, and says she is particularly close to Tove Lo and Charli XCX. "Those are just two solid, core girls who are really girls' girls," she told Rolling Stone. "Every time I hang out with her I feel so energized, and I feel a real sense of comfort. It's a real friendship, not one of those celebrity things of hanging out. We're really quite like-minded and love talking to each other. Both of them are just so real."
Yoga and Meditation

Lipa does yoga and meditation for self-care. "I'm not very good at therapy, to be honest," she told Rolling Stone. "As much as I'm disciplined in so many areas of my life — or I try to be — I have a little bit of a harder time locking myself down to talk about how I feel. I think that in part is down to the fact that I think I have a really easy communication with my friends. I talk to my friends about everything that's happening."
Practicing Gratitude
Lipa practices gratitude and has a very positive attitude. "I just like to see things in a positive way," she told The Guardian. "Every time when you look back and in hindsight go, 'Oh, that thing that upset me is so irrelevant now.' It's the idea of being radically accepting of who you are, of your flaws. It comes over time, learning about yourself, going through different experiences, maturing. Understanding that being forgiving towards someone is just as important for them as it is for you. It's about being able to move on. That is radical acceptance in its clearest form."
Hopeless Romantic
Lipa calls herself a hopeless romantic. "I think I have an idea of the kind of person I am in love and relationships, and I feel like it's everything or nothing," she told Rolling Stone. "When I'm with someone, I'm there to just give it my 100 percent, my all. I used to always ignore the red flag, and I think I also realized that the red flag shows up pretty early on. More often than not, I've chosen to ignore it. And then later down the line, it's exactly the reason why things don't work out."
