Singer Adele just tearfully announced she’s cancelling her concert dates due to COVID issues—both because of supply delays and outbreaks among her team. “All dates will be rescheduled. More info coming soon” she captioned her Instagram announcement, with a broken heart emoji. Here’s her complete statement, which she delivered while crying regretfully:

“Listen, I'm so sorry, but my show ain't ready. We've tried absolutely everything that we can to put it together in time and for it to be good enough for you, but we've been absolutely destroyed by delivery delays and COVID—half my crew, half my team are down with COVID. They still are, and it's been impossible to finish the show and I can't give you what I have right now. And I'm gutted—I'm gutted and I'm sorry, it's so last minute we've been awake for over 30 hours now trying to figure out and we run out time and I'm so upset and I'm really embarrassed. And I'm so sorry to everyone that's traveled—again, I'm really, really, sorry. I'm really sorry. We're on it. We're gonna reschedule all of the dates. We're on it right now. And I'm gonna finish my show and I'm gonna get it to where it's supposed to be. I'm so—I'm so sorry. It's been impossible. We've been up against so much and it’s just not ready. I'm really sorry. Sorry.”


Adele had been scheduled to perform “WEEKENDS WITH ADELE, an exclusive residency in the Colosseum of Las Vegas’ famed Caesars Palace Hotel beginning Friday January 21, 2022.” It was sparked by her new album, 30, which Adele described as one of her most personal yet. “I was certainly nowhere near where I’d hoped to be when I first started it nearly 3 years ago,” she wrote of the album. “Quite the opposite actually. I rely on routine and consistency to feel safe, I always have. And yet there I was knowingly — willingly even, throwing myself into a maze of absolute mess and inner turmoil!”

“I’ve learned a lot of blistering home truths about myself along the way,” she continued. “I’ve shed many layers but also wrapped myself in new ones. Discovered genuinely useful and wholesome mentalities to lead with, and I feel like I’ve finally found my feeling again. I’d go as far as to say that I’ve never felt more peaceful in my life. And so, I’m ready to finally put this album out.”

The Omicron variant of the coronavirus has pushed COVID cases to more than 800,000 a day. Here’s Adele announcing the news of the cancellation:

These 20 musicians show us that staying fit and healthy knows no boundaries, regardless of age.


1. Cher

Cher,Attends,Cfda,Fashion,Awards,2022,At,Cipriani,South,StreetShutterstock

Cher is known for seemingly being ageless. She shared some of her skincare tips in an interview with The Sunday Times. “I do have pretty good skin. It’s not as good as my mom’s but it’s pretty good. I take care of it and get a facial once in a while but I am not religious about any of it. I use Aveeno Ultra Calming Foaming Cleanser on my face because it’s for sensitive skin and I love it.”

2. Madonna

New,York,City,,Usa,-,May,2,,2016:,Madonna,AttendsShutterstock

Madonna is a big fan of yoga, and explained why in an interview. “You have to take it really slowly,” she explained. “You can’t rush. You can’t skip to the next position. You find yourself in very humiliating situations, but you can’t judge yourself. You just have to breathe, and let go. It is a workout for your mind, your body and your soul.”

3. Bruce Springsteen

Bruce Spingsteen opened up about how he stays in shape in an interview. “I don’t do that much (exercise) right now. I lift a little weight to stay toned, I may get on the treadmill and I’ll walk, I don’t run anymore. The biggest thing is diet, diet, diet. I don’t eat too much and I don’t eat bad food, except once in a while when I have some fun for myself.”

4. Sting

Sting is a big fan of practicing yoga. He explained how he stays fit in an interview with Energy Times. ​​"I perform on stage in much the same way I did when I was in my 20s or teens, and I’m doing it just as efficiently. Two decades of yoga has given me two extra decades of this career. I wouldn’t be able to do it if I was out of shape.”

5. Paul McCartney

Paul McCartney opened up about some of his wellness secrets on an episode of the podcast, Table Manners. He says that he’s a fan of eye yoga. “I learned [it] off some yogi in India,” he said. “He explained that your eyes are muscles whereas your ears aren’t, so you can’t exercise your ears. But your eyes, you can.”

6. Stevie Nicks

Los,Angeles,-,Jan,26:,Stevie,Nicks,Arrives,At,TheShutterstock

In an interview with Vulture, Stevie Nicks opened up about how she eats healthy. Nicks says that she used the Weight Watchers plan. “That’s how I stay on my perfect diet—I can come out here in the middle of the night crazed, and there just isn’t anything, so there’s no reason to even bother to come out here, because I’ll just be eating one of my meals that is supposed to be for tomorrow, and I don’t really want that, because it’s exactly what I just had today.”

7. Dolly Parton

Los,Angeles,,Ca.,February,08,,2019:,Dolly,Parton,At,TheShutterstock

Dolly Parton is all about doing what she loves. She tells The Wall Street Journal that she does rejoicing exercises for this reason. "I thought I could create something joyful, where you were doing something for a reason rather than yourself. But that's the extent of my exercise. I'm not big on going to the gym… and I’m particular about who I sweat with."

8. Annie Lennox

Annie Lennox is all about being natural. She tells Yahoo that she doesn’t get Botox or plastic surgery. “If I were going to do some work, which I mean, again, I haven’t done it yet, I might. But if I did, I wouldn’t want to end up with this frozen mask, which is Botox, which is surgery. I think, the day they get it right will be the day that you can’t really tell.”

9. Jennifer Lopez

Jennifer Lopez is in great shape. And she makes sure to workout on a regular basis."Very rarely will I skip my workout," Lopez told UsWeekly. "Sometimes, I work too late the night before and I'm like, 'Ugh, I can't do this.' But I tell myself, 'Just do it. It's only an hour.' It's just talking yourself off the ledge of being a lazy bum."

10. Sheryl Crow

Sheryl Crow shared some of her wellness secrets in an essay with InStyle. “I totally embrace days when I can just sit and do nothing,” she says. “But exercise is really important to me. Whether it’s going for a jog or getting on my rowing machine, it’s a great way of burning through some of that unnecessary anxiety. I have one of the machines with water in it — it’s low-impact and core- and back-strengthening. And meditating has encouraged me to let go and not be so critical of myself. I started when my career was exploding and I felt like I couldn’t find myself anymore.”

11. Cyndi Lauper

Cyndi,Lauper,At,The,2019,Billboard,Women,In,Music,HeldShutterstock

Cyndi Lauper shared her approach to diet and exercise with Closer Weekly. “I try and watch what I eat. I exercise frequently — a combination of ballet, light weights, and yoga. And aerobics — because you have to exercise your heart. I think of myself as a professional athlete because I sing, and if my body is an instrument then it better be tuned and doing well so I can perform the way I want to, not just the way I can.”

12. Debbie Harry

London,,United,Kingdom-september,3,,2019:,Debbie,Harry,Attends,The,GqShutterstock

Debbie Harry shared some of her favorite foods with Bon Appetit. She says that she likes to make her own salad dressings. “I’m so weight-conscious, I’ve grown accustomed to salads and raw foods. It’s nothing that falls into the category of fine dining—or even cooking—but making a good salad dressing is an art. I like something lemony, or maybe some sesame oil, a little bit of cayenne pepper to give it a little jolt. It varies. Some of the Japanese dressings are quite nice. They’re light and feel really good on the palate.”

13. Bono

Bono has a very supportive wife, Ali Hewson. He talked about their marriage in an interview with People. "It is a grand madness about us. And there's something about knowing that you're going against the odds. But I would say if you ask me seriously, friendship can outpace romantic love, sometimes. And friendship is what myself and Ali have. When you have romantic love and friendship, that's really something special."

14. Billy Idol

Billy Idol makes sure to stay in shape, so he can have enough stamina to get through her performances. He shared his workout routine to DailyMailTV. “A lot of it is cardio. I have to do a lot of exercise because my stage performance, I don't just stand there. I'm full on engaged and you need all your breath.”

15. Sade

In an interview with BlackDoctor.org, Sade talked about her approach to exercise. “I do move a lot. I’m always doing stuff. I don’t lounge around much. I’m always moving and I’m always active. I’ve tried things and I’ve tried exercise because I know it’s good and I’ve tried to do yoga, but my life just doesn’t seem to allow it.”

16. Melissa Etheridge

New,York,,Ny,-,May,5,,2018:,Melissa,Etheridge,AttendsShutterstock

In a 2014 interview with Huffington Post Live, Melissa Etheridge revealed that she changed how she approached her diet after beating cancer. "After cancer, food took on a different meaning for me. It used to be, 'I don't feel very well, I'm depressed, [I'll eat a] Pop-Tart.' That's kind of what food was for me.”

17. Alanis Morrissette

In 2020, Alanis Morrissette opened up about what she is doing during lockdowns to Vogue. “Meditating, sitting in the deep stillness has almost always been a regulating force for me. It is not always the best option for those of us who are challenged by being left alone with the cruel critic or mean voices we can sometimes hear.”

18. Shania Twain

Shania Twain has her own workout series on Apple Fitness. She opened up about her approach to working out in a press release. "You've got to make working out fun, do what you love, so it feels like burning energy instead of a job! I hear lots of people like listening to my music in the gym and it makes me so happy — it means it's energetic and inspirational."

19. Jon Bon Jovi

Jon Bon Jovi makes sure to stay in shape. And he does a lot of different things to do so. In 2020, Bon Jovi shared this video on his Instagram advertising a concert with Hampton Water Kitchen. In it, he is seen going for a run, lifting weights, and doing sit-ups.

20. Gloria Estefan

Los,Angeles,,Ca.,September,24,,2018:,Rafi,Gavron,At,TheShutterstock

In an interview with Parade, Gloria Estefan revealed how she stays in shape. “Exercise is crucial for me. I have hardware in my back (my band called me Robo-pop), so it’s very important for me to keep active. I do an hour on the elliptical or some other kind of cardio. And I do strength training with rubber bands. My muscles will bulk up a lot, so I like to keep them long and limber. Like most women, I am really trying to stay in top shape. And especially at this decade, it gets a little more difficult.”

“How unrealistic is it to expect a normal woman’s body not to change?” she says.

Selena Gomez is one of the most transparent celebrities on the subject of mental health. Growing up in the public eye, she faced a lot of pressure from work, high profile relationships, physical health problems, and even from her fans. In a new interview with Fast Company, Selena, now 31, openly discusses some of her lowest points, including the backlash she experienced when bathing suit photos taken by paparazzi made her the subject of online bullying.


1. Selena Had a Lot of “Responsibility” at a Young Age

Selena,Gomez,At,The,2007,Abc,All,Star,Party.,BeverlyShutterstock

“When I was younger, I thought I could save the world,” Gomez tells Fast Company. “It breaks my heart to hear a girl come up to me and say, ‘I was so close to taking my life, but when I watched your documentary, I couldn’t imagine doing that anymore.’ That’s the coolest gift, but yeah, look at me . . . ,” she said crying. “It’s crazy to have that responsibility.”

2. In 2016 She Checked Into a 90-Day Treatment Program

She struggled with her mental health and ended up canceling the final leg of her Revival tour in 2016. She got help, checking herself into a 90-day stint at a treatment facility in Tennessee. Then, the following year she underwent a kidney transplant after a lupus diagnosis.

3. In 2020 She Revealed She Was Bipolar

She didn’t discuss her mental health until 2020, revealing in a one-on-one conversation with Miley Cyrus on Instagram Live that she’d been diagnosed with bipolar disorder. “I went through a really hard season. It was my highs and my lows, and I didn’t know what to do, so I couldn’t control it. I would want to cancel things. It was just a tormented feeling. That’s why, when I found out my diagnosis, it was just, ‘Oh, okay, I feel a bit relieved, I understand a bit more.’ I got second opinions. I went to doctors. I’m fortunate enough to be able to have people who can help me survive every day.”

4. She Was “Freaked” Out

“I grew up being a people pleaser,” she continued. “I had a responsibility at a very young age—young people were looking up to me. I didn’t know who I was. Having that responsibility would make me walk on eggshells a lot. I thought maybe it would be damaging to tell people who I am. It started to become a threat that freaked me out. Well, if you’re not right, then you can’t work.”

5. Her Diagnosis Left Her Feeling “A Bit Relieved”

“I went through a really hard season. It was my highs and my lows, and I didn’t know what to do, so I couldn’t control it. I would want to cancel things. It was just a tormented feeling. That’s why, when I found out my diagnosis, it was just, ‘Oh, okay, I feel a bit relieved, I understand a bit more.’ I got second opinions. I went to doctors. I’m fortunate enough to be able to have people who can help me survive every day.”

6. Social Media Became Too Toxic for Her During Her Justin Bieber Breakup

Around the same time she was trying to heal from her final breakup with on-again, off-again boyfriend Justin Bieber, and found that social media had become too toxic a space for her. She handed over her password to her assistant and stayed off. “I had just gotten my heart broken. I didn’t need to see what everyone was doing,” she says. “Then there were those moments of not feeling positive about how I looked because of what I’d see on Instagram. Wow, I wish my body looked like that.”

7. Then, the Paparazzi Photos in Her Bathing Suit Surfaced

Los,Angeles,,Ca.,October,15,,2022:,Selena,Gomez,At,TheShutterstock

In 2018 paparazzi surfaced of Gomez in a bikini while boating in Australia, and trolls came out to get her. Before, she’d “had a teenager’s body,” she says.

8. She Was “Embarrassed,” But “How Unrealistic Is It to Expect a Normal Woman’s Body Not to Change?”

Los,Angeles,,Usa.,January,11,,2020:,Selena,Gomez,At,TheShutterstock

Now, “none of the sample sizes were fitting, and that would make me feel embarrassed. Although how unrealistic is it to expect a normal woman’s body not to change?”

9. She Hit Back at the Trolls

Los,Angeles,-,Jun,11:,Selena,Gomez,Arrives,For,‘onlyShutterstock

She decided to take a break from her social media detox and hit back. She took steady aim at “the beauty myth—an obsession with physical perfection that traps modern woman in an endless cycle of hopelessness, self-consciousness, and self-hatred as she tries to fulfill society’s impossible definition of flawless beauty.”

Anna Kendrick is feeling grateful, despite the state of the world right now. She shared a photo of herself in a bathing suit with other pals, someplace tropical. “Well. 2021. You were a little” jerk “in many ways,” she captioned it. “But pre-omicron you managed to bring a lot of cool” stuff. “So, thanks for giving me a taste of excitement and adventure before ripping it away again???

Read on to see 5 ways Anna Kendrick 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 Stays Present in Her Body

“The times in my life when I tried to restrict the foods I love always backfired, and I ended up feeling miserable. For me, it’s all about really being present in my body, not depriving it,” she told Shape.

2. She’s Tried to Add More Silliness in Her Life

"I'm trying to have a sense of play. A lot of my life over the last decade has been work, recover, work, recover. That doesn't leave much room for anything else. That's the mindset and the reality for a lot of people. You work and then recover so you can work some more. Putting some fun and silliness into my life is one of my goals,” she told Shape.

3. She Hikes

“The faster, farther and more frequently you walk, the greater the benefits. For example, you may start out as an average walker, and then work your way up to walking faster and walking a mile in a shorter amount of time than an average walker, similar to power walkers. This can be a great way to get aerobic activity, improve your heart health and increase your endurance while burning calories,” says the Mayo Clinic. “You can also alternate periods of brisk walking with leisurely walking. This type of interval training has many benefits, such as improving cardiovascular fitness and burning more calories than regular walking. And interval training can be done in less time than regular walking.”

4. She’s Tried Certain Wellness Techniques

"I've tried a couple of meditation classes, and so far I feel like I'm doing it wrong," she says. "My mind races more when I meditate. And I was vegan for a year, or maybe even two, and it was the best I've ever felt. Then I just fell off the wagon super hard. I was like, Well, maybe I can just do vegan most days. But no. It was the classic slippery-slope situation for Anna,” she told Shape.

5. She’s Part of a Changing Industry, and Worked Hard to Get Her Seat at the Table

Kendrick has worked hard to get a seat at the table. “There was a film I did many years ago and it was a mostly male cast... which doesn’t narrow it down very much at all,” she adds, with a wry laugh. “There were times when I was like, ‘Oh my God. I’m a joke to you.’ I think if those guys could see videos of themselves now, they would be totally horrified. They wouldn’t even recognise themselves, because the world is changing and people are becoming more self-aware,” she told the Independent.

Avril Lavigne is back on MTV—at the Video Music Awards anyway, appearing last night in a pink, plaid suit by Area that had a crystal bra top, alongside singer Mod Sun. She was there to present Billie Eilish with the Video For Good award. Lavigne boasts an almost 20-year long career, with incredible alternative and pop-punk songs like “Complicated,” “I’m With You,” “My Happy Ending,” and “Girlfriend,” in her repertoire. However, she has also made news for her health, after revealing that she was diagnosed with Lyme disease, which caused a hiatus. Read on to see seven ways Avril Lavigne 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 Bikini Photos!


1. She’s A Vegetarian

2021 MTV Video Music Awards - ShowTheo Wargo/Getty Images

Lavigne has been open about being a vegetarian since 2007. According to the Daily Mail, a pizzeria in Lavigne’s hometown of Ontario had to take down a sign saying “Home of Avril Lavigne’s Favorite Pizza.” “I don’t eat mushroom or pepperoni anymore,” she says. “Meat’s not so good for you.” Lavigne says she does cheat occasionally. "I cheat sometimes, I eat fast food. But 90% of the time, I’m on a vegan diet."

2. She Has Followed A Macrobiotic Diet

Lavigne also followed a macrobiotic diet that balances her energy. “I take care of myself, I eat right. I can’t be eating stuff that makes me tired." Lavigne’s diet includes tofu, whole grains, and vegetables as staple foods, she has said. "Many experts recommend filling your plate with foods that grow from the ground. Decades of research suggests that the best diet for cancer prevention is all about plants. That means lots of fruits, vegetables and legumes, and little to no meat or other animal products," says the Mayo Clinic.

3. She Eats All Organic Food on The Road

Back when Lavigne was traveling to perform, she said: “When I’m on tour, I stuff my fridge full with organic food and stick to that." "There is a growing body of evidence that shows some potential health benefits of organic foods when compared with conventionally grown foods," says the Mayo Clinic.

4. She Took A Break From Her Career

After her Lyme Disease left her bedridden for two years, Lavigne decided to slow down her career, and put her recordings on hold. “I've really had the time to be able to just be present, instead of being, like, a machine: studio, tour, studio, tour. This is the first break I’ve ever taken since I was 15," she admitted to Hello!.

5. She’s Very Spiritual

2021 MTV Video Music Awards - ArrivalsJason Kempin/Getty Images

Lavigne revealed to People that her spirituality helped her with her health crisis. “I’m a very spiritual person, and I definitely did turn to God during that experience,” she says. Lavigne says that her faith helps her feel grateful for her progress. “When you go through something like that, you realize how fulfilling simple things are — things I could do anymore, like being able to get up in the morning and go to the kitchen and grab a cup of coffee,” she says. “It taught me patience; it taught me being more present. That was a beautiful lesson.”

6. She Turned To Music To Heal Her

Lavigne’s spirituality came through in her songwriting as well. “Music really lifted me up and made me feel better,” she told People. “I was able to take a hard time in my life and make the best out of a circumstance that was I was going through. … At first I didn’t know I was making an album — I just naturally turned to songwriting in a time of healing.”

Kristin Cavallari is a reality TV and fashion icon. Since she debuted on Laguna Beach, people have clamoured for her fashion and beauty secrets. Cavallari recently shared her eye makeup secrets on Instagram, after several people asked for them. She captioned the post, “This is for the girlies in my DMs asking about this eye every time I do it. Sorry the lighting is awful. I also don’t know why the audio isn’t in sync for half of it 🫣 but here ya go 💗”

She's Less Strict With Her Diet

Cavallari has written several cookbooks, and they have changed as her diet has changed. While promoting her book, Truly Simple with EatingWell, she revealed that her diet is less strict. “I've gotten to a point in my life where not everything has to be so perfect anymore,” Cavallari said. “I used to be so strict about what I was putting in my body. I'm still very healthy and very conscious of it, but I've gotten a little bit more lax. True Roots and True Comfort had nothing ‘white’ in them: no white flour, no white sugar, no white salt. But in Truly Simple, I bend a little bit in a few of the recipes, which really reflects where I am in my life and my new way of eating. Everything is a little bit more relaxed around here now.’

She Loves Cauliflower

Cavallari tells EatingWell that she loves making foods with cauliflower. “I love cauliflower because I think it's very versatile, and there's actually a Sweet Harissa Cauliflower recipe in Truly Simple that's my absolute favorite cauliflower recipe on the planet. If you've ever been to True Food Kitchen, their cauliflower was the inspiration behind it. There's this sweet harissa dressing that's on it, and there's little chopped-up dates in it, so it has that nice balance between sweet and savory. It's the absolute best.”

She Loves Salad

Cavallari likes to make salads. She shared one of her favorite recipes with EatingWell. “This salad has a few of my favorite things: salmon (which has omega-3s and is so, so good for you), bacon (no explanation needed), avocado (healthy fats), and spicy tomatillo ranch dressing (just yum). Together, they create culinary heaven. If you aren't familiar with tomatillos, they're similar to tomatoes but are slightly less sweet and are perfect when drenched in ranch.”

She Works With A Trainer

Cavallari tells Us Weekly that a lot of her gym sessions are with her personal trainer. “He kicks my ass,” she says. “He pushes me really hard. He has me actually lifting really heavy weight, the heaviest weight I’ve ever lifted in my entire life. I feel the best I ever have. I feel like I’m the strongest I’ve ever been.”

She Shared Her Eye Makeup Trick

Cavallari shared some of her wellness secrets in an interview with Us Weekly. She says that consistency is one of her biggest priorities. “My goal is sort of, right now, just to maintain the muscle that I have,” she says. “I’m really petite. I have no hips. I’m just small. And so if I don’t work out for like a week or two, I feel like all my muscle goes away. So it is about consistency for me.”

Rebeca Andrade is an Olympic gymnast. She is the most decorated Olympic athlete from Brazil, having won two gold medals, three silvers, and a bronze. Andrade recently shared some highlights of her native Brazil on Instagram. In some of them, she posed in a swimsuit while wading. Andrade captioned the post, “SC-&-RS🏕️🌅❤️ Being free is a paradox. It's committing to the life you want, without running away from the work that it entails. It's building freedom every day, with conscious choices and, mainly, with the acceptance that freedom is not the absence of limits, but the autonomy to know which ones are worth it and which ones are not. Being free is being willing to carry the weight of your own life and still find it funny.”

She Swims

In her Instagram post, Andrade is seen swimming. The Cleveland Clinic says that swimming has a lot of benefits. “Swimming takes much less of a toll on your body than, say, running or riding a bike. That’s because exercising in water lessens the impact of your body weight on your joints.”

She Does Gymnastics

Gymnastics is the main way Andrade stays in shape. British Gymnastics states that the sport has a lot of benefits. “When you take part in gymnastics, or any sport for that matter, your body releases chemicals called endorphins. These also help to trigger a positive feeling in the body which can have a positive impact on your happiness and mental wellbeing. This can help to combat feelings of anxiety and depression.”

She Prioritizes Safety

Andrade talked about her training approach in an interview with the Olympics website. She says that she and her coach prioritize her safety, and that she will skip floor sessions if she isn’t able to do it. "I talk a lot with my coach and we trust in each other. We always try to be really safe, and do floor in the correct moments. He believes in me. I'm never going to lie to not do it. So, when I really tell him that I can't do it, it's because I cannot and he always respects that.”

She Sets Goals

In her Olympics website interview, Andrade talked about her commitment and goal setting. Specifically, she talked about her goal to make the Olympic team. “The other [goal], which is the main one, is for us to qualify as a team,” Andrade said. “I think it will be very important for me, for my team, and the focus is on that, whatever happens there, the result is a consequence of our work, of our commitment. But I really want to be there with my team and be happy and healthy.”

She Cooks

Andrade makes sure to eat healthy. She also likes to cook a lot of her own meals. She shared some of her favorite things to make in an interview with NPR. “There was one that was with potatoes and cheese, chicken. There’s cake. There’s cookies. A lot of things.”

Brandi Glanville has never been one to hold back, whether on reality TV or her unfiltered podcast. Best known for her time on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, the US and UK versions of Celebrity Big Brother, and The Traitors, Glanville always speaks her mind. Her podcast, Brandi Glanville Unfiltered, recently stirred up some drama when she called out Real Housewives stars for struggling on The Traitors and suggested the show stop casting them. Many fans saw this as subtle shade toward Phaedra Parks, who excelled in the previous season.

Beyond the headlines, Glanville has shared glimpses into her personal wellness routine, from skincare secrets to unconventional self-care methods. Here’s a look at how she stays feeling and looking her best.

She Uses Eye Patches

One thing that Glanville does to take care of her skin is use under-eye patches. In this Instagram post, she revealed the brand she used on Celebrity Big Brother. Glanville captioned it, “One of the #1 questions we get from fans since leaving #bigbrother is what brand of under eye patches were we wearing constantly on the show...The answer is @peterthomasrothofficial!! They are amaze! #ThanksMarissa 💋 (Blogging about all the products, will be posting on @bbeautyunfltrd soon).”

She Walks

Glanville likes to walk her dogs to keep herself in shape. She shared this video on Instagram of herself and her pup walking in Los Angeles. Glanville captioned the post, “On our way to do some podcasting.” Harvard Health says that walking is very beneficial. “Walking can help protect you during cold and flu season. A study of over 1,000 men and women found that those who walked at least 20 minutes a day, at least 5 days a week, had 43% fewer sick days than those who exercised once a week or less. And if they did get sick, it was for a shorter duration, and their symptoms were milder.”

She Has A Dog

As you can see from the previous Instagram post, Glanville has pet dogs. And according to Harvard Health, this can be beneficial. “A growing body of solid research shows that owning a dog can: provide companionship, help you be more active, make kids calmer, more secure, and more responsible, improve the lives of older individuals, help you be calmer, more mindful, and more present in your life, make you more social and less isolated, ease stress.”

She Worked With A Breath Coach

Glanville revealed to Us Weekly that she works with a breath coach to help with her mental health. “I’m still doing cosmetic stuff, but at the same time trying to fix myself. I eat better and breathe and actually exercise. I’m getting there. I just started with this journey, but I can actually do things. My body can do things now that I couldn’t do five years ago.”

She Uses CellSound

Glanville revealed to People that she used the CellSound treatment on her stomach. "I mean, to be honest, I haven't worn a crop top in years, and I literally feel comfortable going out in a crop top, which is so bizarre," she says. "Not that I feel like everyone should do that, but I can go work out with a crop top on and not feel like I have my mommy stomach and I shouldn't sit down. So it's definitely empowered me in that aspect."
