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.

Madelyn Cline is known for her roles in the hit series Outer Banks and the film Knives Out: The Glass Onion. She just shared a set of photos on Instagram from her New Year’s Eve activities.

1. She Uses Cleanser

Cline has amazing skin, and she makes sure to take care of it. She revealed some of her favorite beauty products and secrets to Vogue. She says that she uses cleanser to help with acne.“It just makes me feel like it's actually good for my pores,” she explains. “I have noticed a difference in the amount of blackheads I’m getting.”

2. She Found Acceptance In Herself

Cline is open about her previous struggles with an eating disorder. She tells Women’s Health that she found acceptance in herself by repeating things over and over. "My mom was a wonderful help in that. She would stand there in the mirror with me and we would list out things that I liked about my body," she explained. "After that repetition those things became solidified in my mind. I like my curves, I like my hips, and after a while I started to love my body. I became so much happier."

3. She Takes Breaks From Social Media

Cline tells Glamour that she needs to take breaks from her social media pages from time to time. “It's important for me to remember that with my socials I’m incredibly blessed. But at the same time, sometimes it can get very loud, so I have to turn it off and listen to myself for a second and be present in the moment. It's so nice to not be thinking ‘oh, I'm gonna take this picture to post’. It's so nice to just leave my phone somewhere for a few hours. But it’s also such a wonderful tool and I'm so thankful for it.”

4. She Doesn’t Put Pressure On Herself

Cline tells Glamour that she doesn’t put pressure on herself to do things. “I feel like everybody puts pressure on themselves to look or act a certain way sometimes. And at the end of the day – it doesn't matter. Like, you know, we're on a floating rock hurtling through space, and to worry yourself about things like that – it's trivial. All bodies are beautiful, [realising that] is a part of self-love and self-acceptance.”

5. She Learned Chess

Cline tells Glamour that she learned how to play chess, which has helped with her anxiety. “On the Glass Onion set, Leslie [Odom Jr] taught Jess and I how to play,” she says. “He’d ask ‘‘what are my options?’ I think it just means to step outside of my thoughts for a second. We can often act on an anxiety or emotion that's really, really strong. But we could just take a minute, and ask ‘what can I do in the moment? What options do I have to centre myself?’ It can feel like everything is kind of closing in, but it's not true. I think [learning chess] is a wonderful life lesson in general.”

Minnie Driver recently took a break from filming to go on a “Winter boat/surftrip with women who are excellent.” She captioned one bathing suit photo: “I swear we surfed.

2. Here's Her Take on Makeup

“If it was just me and my everyday life and I wasn’t being stalked by the paparazzi every now and again, I would wear no makeup and my hair would be up,” she told Everyday Health. “But because they’re around, I always have a base and mascara on, so my skin will always look even and my eyes won’t look like coal in the snow.”

3. She Has Woken Up Like This

“I stick my head under a freezing cold faucet!” she told Everyday Health. “Then I apply moisturizer, let it sink in while I get dressed, and then go do my makeup.”

“Sick of this ‘50 is the new...’” she Tweeted shortly after J. Lo’s Super Bowl appearance in 2020. “50 has always been 50. Women were previously just expected to shrivel and accept their husk. I suppose it must be terrifying to a lot men if we actually burned brighter, hotter, more ambitious and emancipated from shame, the older we got. #50” She added: “I didn’t realise that in just being myself and being unafraid to say that to the world: ‘I’m a woman, I’m 50 years old, and I’m here and I’m not going anywhere,’ was going to mean so much to so many people.”
