Chantel Jeffries works hard and plays hard, living her best life on vacation at the beach. The DJ shared a snap of herself posing on the sand in a red bikini, with beach umbrellas and blue skies in the background. Jeffries is relaxing after performing a set poolside at Strawberry Moon in Miami Beach, making this a busy summer for the star. So how does she have the energy? Here are 5 ways Jeffries prioritizes her health and wellness, and stays on the move.

Jeffries avoids dairy and stays hydrated. “For me beauty starts being healthy inside out, I think it’s really important for me to drink a lot of water, exercise to have healthier skin,” she says. “For my skin care I use CLEARGEN, it keeps my skin glowing. For my beauty products, obviously Chantelle XO eyebrows is very important, that is the main focus of my face. I also really like eyelash extensions! I mostly make sure to drink a lot of water, I have to stay away from dairy because it makes me breakout. I take supplements – a lot of vitamins!”
2. Cardio and Weights
Jeffries does cardio and weights whenever she can to maintain her physique. “I try to work out almost every day when I’m in town,” she says. “When I’m traveling, it’s kind of hard. I mostly do cardio and lift weights and work at Equinox – I like it there because I usually sweat in a steam room post workout. I put coconut oil on my hair quite a bit – my hair is usually really dry so I have to make sure to put a lot of moisture on it.”
3. She Plays Golf
Jeffries loves to play golf when she gets the opportunity. “We know that the moderate physical activity that golf provides increases life expectancy, has mental health benefits, and can help prevent and treat more than 40 major chronic diseases such as heart attacks, stroke, diabetes, breast and colon cancer,” says Dr Andrew Murray from the University of Edinburgh. “Evidence suggests golfers live longer than non-golfers, enjoying improvements in cholesterol levels, body composition, wellness, self-esteem and self-worth. Given that the sport can be played by the very young to the very old, this demonstrates a wide variety of health benefits for people of all ages.”
4. Adventurous Spirit

Jeffries, who has a background in modeling, is passionate about trying new things. “I would describe myself as energetic and adventurous,” she says. “I love trying new things. Keeping life interesting is what it's all about. There aren’t too many things I won’t try at least once. Oh, and I love to make people laugh. Being 5’6” I never really thought of being a model.”
5. Her Beauty Tricks

Jeffries’ beauty tricks are all about giving the illusion of a natural look. “I’ve learned so many tricks, but if you’re on the go and you’re a little greasy, you can always grab those toilet seat covers and use them to blot your skin,” she says. “That comes in handy a lot. Hair spray on a spoolie brush or toothbrush works really well too. And one of my favorite looks is faux freckles, because it makes you look like you’re wearing less makeup. And I love applying your makeup setting spray before you highlight, because it makes the highlighter really show. And I do that before my mascara, so it doesn’t make my mascara run.”
