Influencer Charli D'Amelio Shares Swimsuit Photo of "Family Forever"

TikTok star Charli D'Amelio is giving a very sweet shout out to pal Markell Washington via her Instagram account. D'Amelio shared a picture of herself and Washington over the years, including one of her posing in the water in a pink bikini, laughing with the YouTube star. “No one does it like you @markellwashington. Happy belated birthday. I love you more than life. Thank you for being you. Family forever 🤍.” Markell responded in the comments, saying “Thank you so much char char 🥹😭❤️❤️ I love you so much lil sis, we are riding together forever until the wheels fall off PUURRR you mean so much to me 💙💙.” D'Amelio has made it clear family always comes first—here’s how she balances work and play.

1. Learning From Reality Show

D'Amelio says doing a reality show with her family taught her a lot. “I think I obviously learned a lot, just because you're watching yourself go through situations,” she says. “And I think a lot of it is just maturity and growing up, learning new things, and being able to see what you look like from an outside perspective. I think is really interesting. I feel like I'm probably very similar in a lot of ways, and in the ways that I'm different I don't even realize until other people watch it and they're like, ‘Whoa, okay. That's cool.’”

2. Embracing Individualism

D'Amelio loves that social media gives young people a way to express their creativity. “I think for a long time you were supposed to fit into this little box of how you’re supposed to be, and I feel like with this whole generation that grew up on social media, we’ve seen how fast trends change and how people can express themselves in different ways,” she says. “That’s something that’s so amazing and I feel like individuality is super important because it’s so easy to fall in line and be just like everyone else. Even before TikTok, I went to a school where we wear uniforms, and still, every single person would wear their uniforms in their own way.”

3. She’s a Dancer

Anyone who has watched D'Amelio’s TikTok videos knows she is an gifted dancer. "I've been a competition dancer my entire life,” she says. “I know a lot of people don't know that I study dance outside of TikTok, but it is something that I definitely want to do more of.”

4. Creating Perfume

D'Amelio is thrilled to create her own perfume. “If I looked at myself kind of five years ago, I would've never thought that I would be coming out with my own fragrance,” she says. “When the idea was [presented] to me, it really ticked a box that I didn't have. It was something that I didn't see a lot of other people my age pursuing, and I really didn't have a signature fragrance that I felt like made me, me. [I was] missing that one thing I have to do before I leave to make myself feel ready. And Born Dreamer really filled that for me. It's the perfect blend of fruity, floral, feminine, strong, and confident. It plays well off of everyone's natural skin smell."

5. Taking Time To Slow Down

D'Amelio likes to relax with spa treatments. “My life has been super busy lately, with Dancing with the Stars and upcoming projects,” she said in 2022. “When I get stressed, I like to take time for myself—alone time allows me to recenter myself and relax. With such a busy schedule, doing at-home spa treatments provides some calmness back into my life, too. I also like to stay organized with little reminders so I can check off things as they happen.”

Charli D'Amelio is still basking in her Dancing with the Stars win, in her swimsuit! The TikTok and reality star shows off her washboard abs in a swimsuit top and slacks in one of her latest social media posts. “Hi,” she captioned the Instagram post, eliciting a lot of fire emoji comments from her 48 million-plus followers.

1. She Works Out

Charli exercises to keep herself in great shapes. She regularly trains with her sister, Dixie, and mother Heidi, with trainer-to-the-stars Ben Bruno. In a recent TikTok video, the family can be seen working out together, doing a variety of strength and weight training exercises. You can also train with her via the FitOn app.

2. She Dances

Another way Charli stays in shape is by dancing. However, in a recent interview with People she confessed that she had lost her passion on the dance floor until she went on Dancing with the Stars. "You know, dance wasn't something that I found fun anymore. It was something that was more just, I did to do it and, you know, it was over when it was over and I didn't look forward to it anymore. And I think with Dancing With the Stars every week, it's like, you know, I'm hearing from other people that I finally look like I'm having fun," she said. "I look happy and I'm feeling, kind of, those same things that I used to feel when I was younger, dancing, that I kind of lost and thought that I wouldn't find again," Charli says. "Just because it had been so long without being that excited for performance. To be able to do that again is really a full circle moment for me and just makes me really happy."

3. She Loves Dunkin Donuts

Charli loves Dunkin Donuts so much that she ended up teaming up with them. “The Dunkin Donuts collaboration came about after a lot of free promotion. For a while, everyone thought I was getting paid. But I was not. I just shamelessly promoted and promoted because I really wanted to work with them. And then they finally gave me the opportunity and I immediately took it. And since then, we’ve come out with two of my own drinks on the menu and sold-out cold brew nationwide. It was a really big hit for me. And it was a really great feeling seeing all of that come together. It was definitely a lot of my determination to work with Dunkin Donuts,” she told Forbes.

4. She Battled an Eating Disorder

In her early days of fame, Charli battled an eating disorder. She recently opened up about it on her reality show. “Whenever I first started TikTok ... I was very unhealthy,” she says. “I would lose a bunch of weight, and then gain a bunch of weight, and then lose it, and my comments would switch up with that,” she said. She confessed that after binge sessions she would make herself sick and then starve herself. “It was really bad,” she said. “You could see it because I’m short, so when I put on weight people would be like, ‘Oh, you gained weight,’ and then they’re like, ‘Oh, she lost so much weight, she looks so good.’” At her thinnest, she was trolled for being “skin and bones.” “I let it get to me and I wish I didn’t,” she added.

5. She Has a “Healthy” Mindset with Food Now

“It’s extremely hard to go from having a very unhealthy mindset with food to a healthy one, especially when you’ve dealt with it alone for so long,” she added, revealing that she ended up meeting other influencers and having an open discussion about it all. “At least now I have friends that I can talk to and that made me work so much harder to get a healthy relationship with food again.”

Demi Moore, at 58, is as body confident as ever, posing in a swimsuit with her daughters in a new campaign for Andie swimwear. “LDW ready, with @andieswim,” she captioned the photo on Instagram, referring to the long weekend. How does the mom stay so fit while being so busy?

1. She’s Happy to Be Where She Is

Demi's approach to life? "It's about embracing and no longer looking for what's wrong and really being in acceptance of everything. Gravity is going in directions that I'm not so fond of. I can look in the mirror occasionally and say 'you're lying, I don't look like that.' but the reality is the comfort I feel in my skin is the greatest gift. I wouldn't trade it. I'm just happy to be where I am," she told InStyle.

2. She Knows Things Change

“Things do change,” Demi told W Magazine not too long ago. “The biggest difference, I think, is that I’m not in nearly as good shape physically as I have been before, and I have skin going in a direction that I would prefer it not go. There are things that just come with getting older. But I think my big mantra for this year is about acceptance. I was reading this book that was written around 1919, if I am remembering correctly, and it was very of its day. It was discussing all the ‘female’ concerns. There were some horrific suggestions on how to take care of yourself, including putting some kind of acid on your skin. But there was one thing I took away, because I think it’s true—the author said not to frown because at a certain point it will stick. And what speaks to me here is that I do believe that when we hold upset, anger, hurt, pain or bitterness, it ages us and we wear it. That isn’t to say we are always going to feel happy. But it’s important not to hold on to things.”

3. She Was Once a Workout Obsessive

When getting ready for certain revealing scenes in movies, “I cut out carbs, I ran, and I biked, and I worked out on every machine imaginable. I didn’t feel like I could stop exercising,” she wrote in her book. “It was my job to fit into that unforgiving military uniform I’d be wearing in two months in A Few Good Men. Getting in shape for that movie launched the obsession with working out that would consume me over the next five years. I never dared let up.”

4. She’s Used the Mirror

Now Demi is more likely to use the Mirror, the workout device that is an actual mirror on your wall, with built-in videos that play on it. "15 min at level 1 that’s doable … right? I am stalling!" Demi wrote once in a post. "This is going to be my next jam. Okay, here I go, wish me luck."

5. She Loves Andie Swimwear

"Demi was an early investor," Andie's founder and CEO, Melanie Travis, told InStyle. "We've always talked about what would make sense to do together, and then back in December of 2020 — in anticipation of a successful vaccine rollout and then what would hopefully be a great summer of friends and family, being able to travel, and get together again, across the United States — we felt like this could be the perfect summer to do a campaign together."

Charli D'Amelio is once again causing a stir on the Internet, this time by posting a rare bathing suit selfie. “I’ve been stuck in my ways for a while,” the influencer, who first went viral on TikTok, told her many millions of fans. “Yessss😍,” commented fellow Web star Tatayanna Mitchell. “Yep ate the girls up 🔥🔥🔥,” said Markell Washington. How does she stay so fit?

1. She Has Danced Her Whole Life

“I actually had like the one video to go viral that kind of started it all,” she told Jimmy Fallon. “It was a duet of this woman, Move With Joy, who makes ‘easy dances’ and it's her voice speaking. And you just copy whatever she says. So I edit the video that she did, and it was just like, step, step, hip, hip, stuff like that. Very simple. It was like eight moves and I posted it. I was on my way to some summer dance camp thing. It was about an hour and a half away from my house. So I had posted it before I left. And then I got in the car with my mom for an hour and a half. And my phone kept going off and I was like, mom, like, what's going on? Like, why are people liking this? This is so…I got 90 likes,” she said with a laugh. “And then I was like, wait, what do I do now?” She continued: “Then my next video, I went back to of course, posting me dancing in my room or my bathroom by myself. I've been training and dancing since I was three, I actually started competing when I was five. Dance has been a part of my life since, ever. There's videos of me dancing…before I could walk.”

2. She Has Anxiety

Charli can get anxiety and panic attacks that cause her to "cry for three days straight" until she feels like she’s "not even Charli anymore." "I'm just this emotional person that doesn't function properly," she said to Avani Gregg on the Facebook Watch show "Here For It.” "And I get into these, like, really, really bad places, and it's scary for me. I'm not myself, and I don't know what takes over, but it's just so much built up that I'm trying to get out all at once, and it's really tough. Especially when you feel like everyone has an invitation to say anything about you."

3. She Drinks Coffee

“Caffeine is the first thing that comes to mind when you think about coffee. But coffee also contains antioxidants and other active substances that may reduce internal inflammation and protect against disease, say nutrition experts from Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine,” says Hopkins Medicine. “Recent studies found that coffee drinkers are less likely to die from some of the leading causes of death in women: coronary heart disease, stroke, diabetes and kidney disease.”

4. She is Not Perfect 24/7

“Same as everyone else, I grew up watching people online and seeing how perfect they are and no one really gets into the, ‘Hey, I'm not perfect. I have lots of things that I wanna work on to make myself feel better. And there's things that I still have to do.’ I still have to, at the end of the day, go to school, I still have to eat three meals a day. I have to clean my room. I have to do chores around the house. Like it's the same thing. And I feel like having people know that I do those exact same things that they do is something that's a little bit comforting and it brings us together. And it's like, I don't wanna put myself on this pedestal that I am perfect 24/7, because I'm very much not. I have my bad days. I have my down days. I live a normal life at the end of the day, but I post on social media and I feel like so many people try to play themselves as perfect. And I just cannot be that person. I can't do that to myself. That's too difficult,” she told ET.

5. She is Anti Cyber-Bullying

Charli and her sister Dixie “paired up with UNICEF for Internet Safety Day and talking about how cyber bullying really can affect people. And I feel like it's very important to raise awareness about that. Cause a lot of people don't like talking about the hate they get and I know, especially me, I get a lot,” she told Fallon. “I'd rather use the platform that I have now to talk and raise awareness because yeah, ot hurts when I'm getting it [now], but it hurts the same when I was in school and someone would comment like, oh, you're ugly under my Instagram post. And I had like what? 40 followers? Yeah. It hurts the same. So I just feel like it's very, very important raising awareness about that and just showing everyone like it's okay to not be okay.”
