Jossa is all about body positivity. And so is her husband, Dan Osborne. She tells Metro that Osborne encourages her to not be too obsessive when it comes to her health and wellness. “He hates it when I’ve gone on strict diets. He’s like: ‘Babe, come on, don’t kill yourself over it.’ He makes me feel so confident all the time.”

2. She Paddleboards

Jossa spends a lot of time outside. Her Instagram is full of photos of herself doing outdoor activities with her loved ones. One thing she likes to do is go paddleboarding.

3. She’s Comfortable With Herself

Jossa briefly went through a period of being body-shamed. However, she tells The Sun that the ordeal made her want to feel more confident in herself. "You feel ‘I don’t need to be a size 8’," said the star. "I can be happy with how I look. Ultimately when I’m naked and in sexy underwear, I feel like a 10/10.”

4. She Makes Time To Relax

Jossa opened up about her wellness routine to Heatworld. She says that she always makes time for herself to relax. "I would definitely put the phone away, watch a film maybe, definitely have a bath, exfoliate, smother myself in all the oils, moisturisers, body creams, hair mask, face mask, tan, you name it, absolutely everything."

5. She Uses A Facial Mist

Jossa has amazing skin. She tells Heatworld that one of her secrets is using a facial mist. "I use this every other day,” Jossa says. “This is like the face mist from my BPerfect range (£12.95), but honestly it's the best thing I've ever been a part of, I absolutely love it. You know like when you come up with something new and you hope it's good? This is actually a game-changer for me, because you wake up looking like you've just been on holiday. I literally just spray it before I go to bed.”

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. She’s a Musician

“I grew up in a really musical household,” she told Bringin' it Backwards. “And then my dad's family are all singers and piano players as well, and musicians, but I guess I would've, I don't know, I guess I started singing when I was a kid and then got into acting professionally when I was 14. And at the time I was a kid, I'm going to focus strictly on acting, and then I'll put music kind of over here, even though I love it so much. And this summer before I moved down to LA, I'd had this little breakup and I—with my friend—went into the garage and wrote this 'I Hate Men' EP … and then did nothing with it. I literally had it on a CD burner and left it in my laptop case. And what was so crazy is after I moved to LA, one of my first trips back to Vancouver, I was sitting next to this guy on a plane and we were just talking about music. I had no idea what he did, and I gave him my demo CD that had Sharpie on it, and I was like, here's my music. Dunno if you're interested, but here you go. And he ended up being a producer on this CBS show called Moonlight, and they ended up buying one of my songs from that ep.”

2. This is What Sparked Her Music Career

“I think I had been going through a breakup at the time and had lots of stuff to get out,” she told Bringin’ it Backwards, “Music has always been very cathartic for me in such a huge form of therapy. And so that was part of it. But I also was just really passionate about this story, about reconnecting with your inner child and really healing. And it was such a healing time as well. And so I just thought it was really cool to just have the music reflect that. And what I like is it's a blending of genres where it starts in one place and ends up somewhere completely different. And that's the story arc as well.”

3. She Loves Creating

“I love creating, I love telling stories, writing stories, and I feel like music and now screenwriting are just such a great way to get those stories out there and impact people and help people. And yeah, it's my favorite thing ever. It doesn't feel like work for me at all. It's one of my favorite things to do. So even on my days off when I'm not filming, I literally, I'm usually doing Discord sessions with them in LA or in the studio, or just creating something or screenwriting. It's always something. I'm just doing something creative,” she said on the show.

4. She’s Part of Great American Family Now

Lowndes, although known for her Hallmark films, also appears in movies on the Great American Family Network now, and is writing the movies, too, she told Hallmark Happenings. “I just feel so blessed and fortunate to be a part of GAC family and Bill Abbott [President and CEO of GAC Media] has always been such an incredible supporter of me, of my writing. And so a couple of years ago I wrote “Over the Moon in Love” for Hallmark and he was a huge reason why that happened. And then when he moved to GAC family, he brought me on board as a writer and gave me such an incredible opportunity to hone in on that skill and I'm eternally grateful to him….It means the world to me. And I think it's also, it's a beautiful story about love and romance, but more importantly, it's a story about hope and resilience and I hope the viewers take away from, I hope the viewers can take that away from this.”

5. This is How She Writes

On writing, she says, “It's the best feeling in the world from start to finish. It's incredible,” she told Hallmark Happenings. “I feel like my baby is seeing the light of day this week and yeah, it's been four years in the making. I had had a weird year a couple years ago with work where I was auditioning and pilot season after pilot season, and I was getting down to the final two and I wasn't booking. And so I decided that I was going to go home every night and write for just one hour, and that was the script, and I wasn't doing it for anybody else other than me. And to remind myself why I became an actress and why I got into this industry in the first place. And I fell in love with it and it was challenging. It was hard, but I wanted to do it. And then it turned into this whole thing."

1. Her Workout Routine

Gareis lifts weights and does Pilates. “I like to shock my body ev­ery once in a while with some­thing new be­cause if I do the same thing ev­ery day, I get bored," she says. "I swim. We have a pool at home. I use my home gym. I go to the gym and do it on my own and some­times I’ll use a trainer. I’m train­ing with weights. To­day, I did Pi­lates. Pi­lates works the smaller mus­cles, whereas lift­ing works the big­ger mus­cles. I al­ways try to in­cor­po­rate three things: car­dio, stretch­ing and lift­ing. Some­times, I’ll walk with my cousin, just put on my sun­block and my hat and we’ll go power walk­ing, or maybe go to the beach and take a re­ally nice beach run — just as long as I’m do­ing some­thing. But don’t for­get to rest.”

2. Healthy Balanced Diet

Gareis enjoys a healthy, well-rounded diet for herself and her family. “I eat healthy about 90 per­cent of the time: pro­tein, veg­eta­bles, fruit, yogurt and milk,” she says. “I al­ways try to pre­pare a well-rounded meal. For break­fast, I will make a veg­gie omelet or I will make pancakes, but I make oat­meal pancakes now, as op­posed to mak­ing them with flour. We’ll squeeze fresh or­ange juice. For lunch, we all have those con­tain­ers that have five dif­fer­ent spa­ces and I make sure I have ev­ery lit­tle food group. At din­ner, I will have four kinds of veg­eta­bles, and one, some­times two pro­teins. I’ll have a com­plex carb, like brown rice. Some­times, I’ll get a pasta that has quinoa in it in­stead. My kids don’t know the dif­fer­ence and they love it.”

3. Wake Surfing On the Lake

Gareis also did some wake surfing on her Lake Tahoe vacation, and posted the video on Instagram. “I figured out how to let go of the rope and navigate the wave! I am now completely addicted!!!!” she captioned the post. “Wakesurfing is a great way to release stress and tension,” says Krish Tangella, MD, MBA, FCAP. “The combination of physical activity and being out on the water can have a calming effect on the mind and body.”

4. Family Bond

Gareis loves spending time with her family, which experts say offers benefits both mental and physical. "There have been more than 20 years of dozens of studies that document that family dinners are great for the body, the physical health, the brains and academic performance, and the spirit or the mental health," says family therapist Anne Fishel. "In terms of nutrition, cardiovascular health is better in teens, there's lower fat and sugar and salt in home cooked meals even if you don't try that hard, there's more fruit, and fiber, and vegetables, and protein in home cooked meals, and lower calories. Kids who grow up having family dinners, when they're on their own tend to eat more healthily and to have lower rates of obesity."

5. Role Model

Gareis wants to set a good example for her children when it comes to health and nutrition. “I don’t like the word ‘diet’, for my­self or for par­ent­ing," she says. "When I talk to my kids, I talk about grow­ing foods. We talk about avo­cado be­ing brain food, or pro­tein will help build your mus­cles, and milk will help your bones. We talk about all the pos­i­tives of food. I never say, ‘Oh, this is fat­ten­ing,’ or ‘No, this is bad for you.’ I just say, ‘First, we eat our grow­ing food, and then we can have dessert.’"
