In an interview on The Breakfast Club, Lennox revealed that she is going to therapy. She says that this has helped with her relationship with her father, and how she navigates life. “I feel like there needs to be a lot of group therapy (with her father) and of course, I want to continue my therapy alone. But I think that would probably be best because I know these are things that I’m even carrying into my dating life and I don’t want to have that weight on me. I do want to be more compassionate because he went through a lot with foster care and abandonment issues, all kinds of dark things so I do recognize why he is the way that he is.”

2. She Uses Natural Products

When it comes to hair care, Lennox believes in using natural products. She tells Allure, “Any type of natural soap, I'll use for my scalp. I use natural shampoo, something that's paraben-free, free of toxins and chemicals. Afterward, I [use] just shea butter, really. Shea butter and a favorite oil of mine, whether it's grapeseed oil, olive oil, or jojoba oil. It's relatively simple — I wash it whenever I feel like it needs to be washed, about every two weeks or sooner.”

3. She Knows What’s Best For Her Skin

When it comes to skincare, Lennox knows what’s best for her. “I'm open to someone glowing me up and enlightening me on key products to have in my house,” she tells Allure. “But I don't go out of my way to do that. And then I don't really... I mean, I do kind of care what people think, but it's more about what makes me comfortable, what makes my skin happy. I've noticed my skin doesn't need much to be happy, so I just stick with simple.”

4. She’s Authentic

Lennox doesn’t feel pressure to look a certain way. She tells Allure that she’s all about authenticity. “Part of me wants to look as polished as some of the greatest legends that are around today. But another thing I'm just like, ‘Man, that's also not me every day.’ I don't mind showing people what I look like every day, because what the hell? To me, that's real life. At least that's my real life.”

5. She Works Out Her Legs

“Performing is one of my favorite parts of my job. I love the energy of the crowds, moving around the stage and interacting with my band. I don’t really get nervous anymore—I just get really excited. I have an insane amount of energy before I hit the stage. I do a lot of stretching and vocal exercises to get myself centered and both physically and mentally prepared, and then I’m ready to go!” she told W.

2. She Wears This Mask

“I have combination skin, and unfortunately am prone to breaking out if I do a lot of appearances in a row or if I’m on tour. It’s super important for me to use products that are soothing. La Mer has an incredible skincare line that really helps keep my skin looking fresh. I’m also a big fan of using a light therapy face mask, which helps to kill bacteria and calms inflammation,” she told W.

3. She Takes Vitamin C

“Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) is a water-soluble vitamin that supports growth and development. It also helps your body absorb iron. Because your body doesn't make or store vitamin C, it's important to include vitamin C in your diet,” says the Mayo Clinic. “Most people can get enough vitamin C for the day in their food. An orange or a cup of strawberries, chopped red pepper or broccoli provides enough vitamin C for the day. The recommended daily amount for vitamin C is 75 milligrams (mg) a day for women and 90 mg a day for men. During pregnancy, 120 mg a day are recommended. The upper limit for all adults is 2,000 mg a day.”

4. This is What She Does to Indulge Herself

“To indulge and treat myself, I’ve definitely been doing a lot of online shopping. [I've] discovered things I wouldn’t usually buy, but actually work really well, like overall jumpers. I wear them over my button-up shirts, which I never really used to do before, but I’m obsessed with at the moment. I’ve also been indulging myself with a lot of skin care and a lot of self-love in the mirror,” she told the Zoe Report.

5. Here’s Her Take on Fashion

"For me, every day I wake up feeling like, 'OK, what do I want to conquer today?' and that helps me get dressed," Ora told TZR. "I always wear a tight pair of pants to make myself feel really sexy and feminine. Ones I recently discovered and I can't take off are the [Maison] Margiela shiny pants. They're high-waisted and they make your legs look super long."

1. She Switches Up Her Skincare

Watts has amazing skin, and she makes sure to take care of it. She shared some of her favorite tips and products with WhoWhatWear. She says that she likes to switch up her skincare routine. “I change it up, and that’s one of the perks I get from working with Onda Beauty. Since the products we carry at Onda don't have any chemicals, I can easily shift from one to another, but I do have very reactive and sensitive skin. I’ll know right away if something isn’t going to work for me.”

2. She Double Cleanses

Watts tells WhoWhatWear that she likes to double cleanse her face. “If I’ve worn makeup that day, at nighttime I always do a deep double cleanse,” she explains. “I’ll start with an oil cleanse and then I’ll do a foam or milk cleanse. De Mamiel’s Pure Calm Cleansing Dew ($98) is a great oil cleanser, and I love Tammy Fender’s Cleansing Milk ($55).”

3. She Embrace Her Life

Watts tells WhoWhatWear that she makes sure to embrace everything that comes her way. “I just think you have to embrace the aging process. There are going to be good days, and there are going to be bad days. You just have to know that it’s a constant wave we need to ride and navigate. And hey, if you feel shitty about yourself once in a while, that’s normal and par for the course. But there are also going to be times when you feel good and like you’re managing it okay. Yes, I sometimes wish I didn’t have these lines around my mouth or chin, but my mind feels so much sturdier than it did in my 20s.”

4. She Loves Fitness Classes

Watts likes to go to fitness classes to stay in shape. She shared a favorite with WhoWhatWear. “I've always loved Taryn Toomey’s classes. It’s a movement class, but I find it’s very much about the mind and spirit as well. It just flows in such an incredible way, and I'm usually able to take something away from the experience that’s pretty uplifting. Or it helps me feel what I need to feel at that given time.”

5. She Does Low-Impact Workouts

Watts shared some of her favorite workouts with Harper’s Bazaar. She says that she does a lot of low-impact exercises. "I try to work out as often as I can, but I'm not fanatical about fitness. My back carries most of my tension and if I'm stressed I can't do high-impact exercise, so yoga and Pilates tend to work better for me. Meditation and yoga help me to balance the stress and slow down.”

The Real Housewives of New York star Luann de Lesseps recently enjoyed a beach day with her friends. And all three made sure to look stunning on Instagram.

5. She’s Got A Good Sense Of Humor
