Alysha Newman Shares Swimsuit Photo "Manifesting a Good Day, Week and Life"

Singer-songwriter Chloe Bailey is on top of the world after a trip to beautiful St. Lucia in the Caribbean. Bailey, 25, shared highlights of her vacation with a video posted on her Instagram, showing the star posing in the ocean water in a black and green bikini. “I had the most incredible time in St Lucia thanks to @windjammerlanding for making it such a special time for me. haven’t felt this happy and relaxed in a minute 😍🥰🥹,” she captioned the post. “I’m convinced that you’re a St Lucian now after seeing how well you blended in with our people and our culture. Happy you enjoyed your stay here. You should definitely come back to explore some more !🇱🇨❤️,” commented a fan. How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Bailey stays in shape and the photos that prove they work.

1. She’s a Dancer

Bailey is a talented dancer, as anyone who has seen her perform will attest to. Dance-based workouts are a great option for people who want to work out while having fun. “The best exercise program is one that is safe, balanced, promotes fitness and, importantly, one that people will do regularly because they enjoy it,” says Polly de Mille, exercise physiologist at the Women’s Sports Medicine Center at Hospital for Special Surgery. “The social aspects of dance help to make it very attractive for an increasing number of people versus, say, an elliptical training machine. Scientific studies are now also telling us that many things make dancing an excellent fitness regimen with attractive benefits.”

2. SPF Every Day

Bailey never skips sunscreen to protect her skin’s health and appearance. "I'm so grateful for all the melanin that I have," she says. "I'm grateful for the protection that it gives me. But I still need my sunscreen because, you know, I'm trying to have youthful skin all the time — I don't want wrinkles too soon. We don't want the Black to crack."

3. Vegan Lifestyle and Coconut Oil

Bailey swears by a vegan diet and cruelty-free products such as coconut oil for health and beauty. "I always love packing coconut oil with me!” she says. “It's the best skin moisturizer." According to dermatologist Jane Wu, MD, coconut oil is better for the body than the face. “If you are prone to acne, you should also avoid putting it on your shoulders, chest or back,” she says.

4. Positive Thoughts

Bailey believes in the power of positive thought. “With everything—music or acting or even the corporate world—you’re always gonna have obstacles,” she says. “And that gets put in the shadows. All we see is the glitz and the glamor. We live in a world where everyone posts their best selves online. Sometimes you look at yourself and think, why can’t I always be 100%, 1000%? But everybody gets told no. But when one door closes, another opens.”

5. Self-Care Every Day

Bailey makes time to relax and take care of herself, especially as her schedule can get extremely hectic. "It's so relaxing and soothing when you get to take care of yourself and when you look in the mirror, applying the products,” she says. “And it's like, oh, I'm loving myself, loving the skin I'm in.”

1. She Loves Coffee

Sinclair loves coffee packed with healthy fats and enjoys an active lifestyle. “I make some really good coffee in the morning,” she says. “I know that sounds crazy but like bulletproof coffee with cacao powder, honey and coconut oil. It’s really thick, creamy and delicious.I like to do yoga, run, and go to the gym. I have always been pretty active. I eat healthy because I like to but I try and stay away from the word diet in all its forms. I feel like rules are meant to be broken and the more rules you set for yourself, the more likely you are to break them. I think of the things that I can eat versus the things I can’t eat.”

2. Child Gymnast

Sinclair has an athletic background, and has always loved to act. “I was a gymnast for nine years as a kid,” she says. “I was a cheerleader, so I could retain my tumbling skills. I did choir and my choir teacher made me do a musical. I had more fun being high school student number two in the second row doing a musical than I ever had in my life. I said to myself, ‘I have to do more of this.’ I went full-blown theater nerd and did all the plays, went to every rehearsal even when I wasn’t acting because I was so into it. It was such a wonderful place for me to express myself and to experience what it’s like being other people.”

3. The Simple Life

Sinclair struggles with Hollywood expectations when it comes to her personal life and style. “I’m not Hollywood glam,” she says. “I’m hair up, no makeup, yoga, reading books, hanging out with all my friends. It’s strange for me to see my body on billboards. It’s really, really, really exciting because I feel like it’s a wonderful opportunity for me to be able to show my range and show what I can do, and then a little piece of me is really scared because I feel like my life if changing and that’s always scary.”

4. Body Positivity

Sinclair is passionate about inclusivity and body positivity. "This body is perfect. And not based on some mysterious formula of body parts that our society has concocted in order to simplify and objectify women. This body is perfect because it's mine," she says.

5. Creative Life

Sinclair loves to pursue other creative endeavors in her free time. “I sing. I am learning to play the keyboard. I am writing music,” she says. “I have been journaling since I was 14 so I write poetry. I love to be outside, travel, run and cook. I am a yogi. I love to dance. I’m excited in general by traveling, seeing the world, meeting people, experiencing new people and their energies, places and food. I just love people.”

“Today feels like sunshine and rainbows and all the most beautiful colors. I feel so happy and hopeful. Crazy to think just 2 days ago I was scared and hurting because i was feeling the darkest i’ve felt mentally in a long time. In that moment I didn’t think i’d feel this good again. This is your sign to keep going because tomorrow could be the most beautiful, bright day. The world NEEDS you around 💕🌻🌱✨☀️♥️ I LOVE YOU!” she wrote once.

2. She Says We Should Celebrate Ourselves

Sailor appeared on Good Morning America in a segment that focused on an eating disorder. “I’m a little upset about the GMA piece that aired this morning,” she wrote in an Instagram Story in responce. “I have nothing but respect for GMA and Deborah [Roberts], and have nothing negative to say about either one.” However: “I understand that ‘comparisons to model mom’ and ‘eating disorder struggles’ are great taglines for click bait on news outlets. But when I agreed to do this interview I was under the impression that it would be in a positive light and would be inspirational,” she wrote. “I ONLY agreed to do it during this awful time in America because I thought it would be a small beacon of positivity for people who have dealt with the same things as me.” She added: “I did NOT want to throw a pity party for myself. I did NOT want the interview to be highlighting the dark times. 95% of what I said during the interview got cut. Including thank you to health care workers & essential workers, as well as acknowledging how awful and heartbreaking this time is for so many.” She concluded: “We have to collectively learn to praise and CELEBRATE ourselves more often, because life passes by so quickly and it’s a shame to spend so much of it worrying that you aren’t good enough,” she wrote. “Because as long as you’re here on Earth and you have a body to love and voice to be heard YOU ARE GOOD ENOUGH and you deserve happiness.”

3. She Says You are an Important Part of the Universe

“This is me, feeling down. But the sun shone right into my window and some birds flew right next to my car, at the same moment. They were my reminders today that it’s all alright. And to anyone who’s going through it right now. Heres your reminder. You are an important part of this universe and i love you,” she captioned the post.

4. She Says This About Body Image

“I've had issues with my body image since before I can even remember. I grew up not loving how I looked and felt held back because of it. I don't know why I always felt that way, sure I had baby fat and definitely went through a plethora of awkward phases, but I had a family that loved me i had friends who made me laugh etc. But for some reason I still looked in the mirror and always somehow found something to pick on. I went from being ‘too fat’ to ‘too thin’ to ‘too muscular’ and I never felt satisfied. My body and I have been through it all. But recently I have been liberated. I am healthy, i treat myself well, and for that i'm happy. I've looked in the mirror and been able to LOVE the things about my body that beauty norms deem 'undesirable'. I now have grown to know that my body is worthy of so many great things. I don't need to be a size 0 to believe in myself. My body carries me each and every day, it loves the people i love, it holds what makes me healthy and strong, it bends it shakes it runs and it CHANGES. That is okay and that is beautiful,” she once wrote.

5. She Has This Message for Her 15-Year-Old Self

“I am so proud of you. I am so proud of you for that day you finally stopped counting the calories in your meals. And for eating that first bowl of your fear food. I am so proud of you for throwing away that measuring tape. I am so proud of you for being brave enough to go out to eat with your friends that one night in 11th grade. And for ordering something off your meal plan. Your bravery that night changed everything. I am so proud of you for starting to go to the gym to feel good, and not to set a calorie burn goal. I am so proud of you for deciding you’ll never take a body checking video again. And for sticking to that. I am so proud of you for looking in the mirror and relearning how you deserve to feel about your self. I am so proud of you for pushing yourself through the thoughts in your mind every single day and for choosing to be free. I am so proud of you. Because even in the harder moments. Even when your mind tricked you back into it, you kept pushing on in the fight. You were consistent and it wasn’t easy. You had everything going against you but you did it. And I have your bravery to thank for the absolute joy my life has been filled with since. For anyone fighting an eating disorder or for anyone who’s put their life on pause because you don’t think you deserve happiness because of the way you look. You can do it. I know you can do it because I did it. You deserve the life you dream about. And you deserve it today,” she once wrote.

1. She Believes Beauty and Wellness are Correlated

“As I’ve matured, I’ve realized the true correlation is between beauty and wellness,” she told W Magazine. “You don’t see that when you’re 20 years old, but as you mature, you start to realize that you can’t rely on genetics anymore, and that you must make a conscious effort in your life. It’s easy to make, it’s not like oh, I have a huge list of things I do. But I am conscious about the decisions I make for myself. And I have noticed that when I feed my body rich, plant-based nutrients, I feel better and I look better. It’s that simple.”

2. She’s Happy to Be Where She Is

"It's about embracing and no longer looking for what's wrong and really being in acceptance of everything," she said at the In goop Health summit, "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."

3. She Loves to Dance

Demi has moves. On Instagram, Demi has danced to Goldfrapp (during a photoshoot), danced with fashion designer Pierpaolo Piccioli ("Dancing the night away with @pppiccioli") and done a conga line to ring in “Happy 2020!”—plus she’s done low-impact dance aerobics with a 15-minute Mirror workout.

4. She Once Added a New Mantra

“I added into my daily prayer a new mantra: to have the courage to be seen without padding or protection,” she detailed in her new memoir, Inside Out. “I couldn’t go on fighting my body and my weight; I had to make peace,” she said. “I started by giving up hard exercise. I never went back into the gym in the house. Never. … The room it occupied is now my office.”

5. She Makes it a Family Affair

Demi has starred in Andie swimwear ads alongside her daughters. "It was important to me to include my daughters in this campaign, and I hope others seize opportunities in their lives to create meaningful connections and celebrate every moment with the people they love," she wrote, saying the campaign represented "togetherness and showing up for the people you love," so "it was only fitting that I got to share this moment with the people I love most."

Madison LeCroy is living her best life this summer in her swimsuit. In one of her latest social media posts the Southern Charm beauty goes boating in her bathing suit in her hometown of Charleston, South Carolina. “Keepin' it reel,” she captioned the Instagram post shared with her followers. How does the reality star stay healthy and fit? She has a few unconventional methods. Read about them below.

1. She Uses an “Infrared Sauna” Blanket

At home, Madison uses an infrared sauna. She is also a fan of using a sauna blanket when she is on the road. “You guys know that I have the one out in the garage, but this one you can travel with,” she said in an Instagram Story. According to the star, the blanket is “mood-lifting” and activates “glowing skin.” There is also a towel that goes with the sauna that “goes on underneath” for a “dry brushing” and provides a “full-body detox.”

2. She Gets Plastic Surgery

Madison is open about going under the knife. "After giving birth to an 10-pound baby eight years ago, I no longer felt confident in my own skin," she revealed in an Instagram photo. "I’ve always been fitness obsessed and aware of what I was eating but sometimes, no matter how much you diet and exercise, there are areas that don’t quite bounce back to where they were originally." She went to doctor, Patrick O'Neill, who "gave me my confidence back and transformed the parts of my body that I was most self-conscious about. Women should never be shamed for doing anything that makes themselves more confident or love themselves more. If it makes you feel better about yourself, do it!" she said.

3. She Does Cold Plunges

Madison is one of the many stars who is obsessed with cold plunging. “Have you guys ever done cold plunge!? If not go see my friends at @sweathouzmtpleasant @sweathouzwestashley but if you aren’t local find one near you @sweathouz,” she captioned a recent post.

4. She Does Healthy Cleanses

Madison does healthy cleanses. One 30-day eating and drinking plan she was on eliminated alcohol as well as "artificial" carbs and sugar. "I just started to feel really bad," she said about why she was inspired. "I just said, 'This has got to stop, so I'm gonna make these foods and I'm gonna eat this kale salad and eat grilled chicken and broccoli four days a week, or whatever it was, and no alcohol for 14 days.' That kind of thing was very tough," she added to Bravo.

5. She Is “Good for a Week and Bad for a Week” with Diet and Exericse

Madison has a yo-to approach to diet and exercise. “It’s definitely been a struggle. I go back and forth. I’m good for a week and bad for a week,” she said about her eating habits. “I try to work out at least four days a week, sometimes it’s three days. It’s all generally mental health for me, I crave it. I definitely feel that it makes me a little bit less on edge… I love working out with other people, all ages, all sizes, because when the girl beside me is giving me a run for my money, you know I’m running fast. I’m like, ‘OK, girl. Let’s go.’”
