1. Selma Blair Shared Good Vibes From a “Golden Place”

Selma Blair has been open about having multiple sclerosis and reported some good news this month: ​​"My prognosis is great. I'm in remission. Stem cell put me in remission," Blair said. "It took about a year after stem cell for the inflammation and lesions to really go down." She certainly looked more at peace this weekend. “A week of health and healing in a golden place,” she captioned a photo from Golden Door, a spa/retreat.

2. Gabrielle Union Knows How to Vacation Like No Other

Gabrielle Union—a “Lover of fun, hope haver & believer of miracles”—and her husband Dwyane Wade have been posting photos from the Yacht Club De Monaco, the Anjuna Beach Club, Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat and Calvi Corsica, with her often looking fit and fab in a bikini. The hashtag? #WadeWorldTour2021

3. Vanessa Hudgens Lounged Poolside

"Happy weekendddd," Vanessa Hudgens captioned the photo on Instagram. We know it was after a week of working hard. The actress hits the Dogpound training gym often. "I'm always down to try something new. I just love getting my blood pumping and I feel like it's just such an important thing to constantly do. So I'm always down to try something new," she told Access Live. "I like tried and true with my soul cycle, Pilates and yoga. I like, I know what works for me for my body, but I just keep that up constantly."

4. Carmen Electra Danced With No Cares

Carmen Electra posted a video of herself dancing to “Coming in Hot.” “I don’t go to the gym every day,” she once told the Cut. “Usually when I’m on break, I’ve already danced a lot so I’m okay for a while. Sometimes I work out at my house. I’ll do some lunges, something simple like that. Otherwise I’ll go to the gym. I’ve only had one trainer in my life, and I realized that because of my dance background, I already have discipline and I don’t need to be pushed. I think I’ve saved a lot of money too. As a dancer, I’ve never put strict rules on my workout habits and sometimes I just want to go to the gym and do something light.”

5. Rita Ora Went Seaside

“Happy weekend. I’ll be seaside,” Rita Ora captioned an Instagram post. "For me, every day I wake up feeling like, 'OK, what do I want to conquer today?' and that helps me get dressed," Ora said to 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."

6. Saweetie Went “Off the Grid”

Saweetie went “off the grid,” posting snapshots from the beach. The trip came shortly after her big McDonalds collab. "I'm super excited. It's like the best feeling ever. I know McDonald's will never turn its back on me. I can always go to McDonald's and order a Saweetie Meal," Saweetie told Forbes the Culture. "I think McDonald's just saw that I genuinely love the meal. I'm always remixing their meals on my live. I only really go live when I eat. So, the fact that I'm here right now with these beautiful packages and cartons of Saweetie Meal behind me is like a dream come true. So, just a match made in heaven."

1. She Has Learned to Love Herself

“HAPPY INTERNATIONAL WOMENS DAY ✨ Today is a day where we can celebrate us. I have so many women in my life who inspire me every day and I wanted to give a little something today that can hopefully inspire one of you. Loving our imperfections can be difficult, but when you learn to embrace them and realise that our imperfections don’t define us, they are just a part of us alongside everything else that creates you as a person. None of us are the same, and that’s a special thing. We are one of a kind 🤍 This picture shows me at my most vulnerable… but I’m learning to love myself, imperfections and all. And so should you,” she wrote once.

2. She Was Once “Unhealthily Skinny”

"I went from a size 10 to a six, and it’s the smallest I’ve ever been as a young adult. Because of my height, this made me look unhealthily skinny, of which I was (not eating barely anything, feeling ill all the time, tired, dizzy) and I remember looking at myself, I’d lost my boobs and my bum and those curves I once had and I missed them,” she wrote on Instagram. "The point of this [is], since coming out of Love Island, I found my love for food again and yes I’m getting back to my usual size."

3. She Likes a Nice Bath

“Drowning my sorrows in the bath because my Met Gala invite got lost 💔…,” she captioned one recent photo. Consider adding Epsom salt. “Pour about 300 grams (1.25 cups) of Epsom salt into a clean bathtub as it fills with hot water. (Avoid using Epsom salt in a tub with jets, a hot tub or a whirlpool bath unless the manufacturer says it’s OK.),” says the Cleveland Clinic.

4. This is Her Skin Icon

"At the moment the make-up I use does change fairly often, not necessarily my staples like concealer and foundation, but I do switch up the bronzers, blushers and mascara that I use,” she has said. Her icon? "Meghan Markle, her skin is absolutely flawless – her make-up always looks lovely as her make-up always looks lovely and natural."

5. She Has Had Acne

“I suffered from acne about a year and a half ago and then I started to work with a skin aesthetician, who helped me to find my skincare routine and helped me to start dealing with the breakouts. Now that my acne has gone, we are on more of a journey to find the right products; doing treatments like microneedling once a month to deal with the scarring. I am so happy with the outcome because the difference from what it was to now is just incredible. I genuinely used to think there was never going to be a time when I could get rid of the acne and I think when you are suffering you think it’s going to be with you forever. Don’t get me wrong, it isn’t an overnight process – it took me a year and a half to be acne free, but through a good skincare routine and using the right products it can be combated. My skin aesthetician advised me that the products you use to treat acne don’t start working for 4-6 months, so it took six months before I started to see a difference. The secret to good skin is also about good lifestyle, it’s all about looking after the inside to make your skin glow,” she told Hello.

Bryant opened up about her beauty secrets to E! Online. In it, she was asked what advice she would give herself at the start of RHOP, specifically with her looks. “I would just say ‘you do you,’” she says. “It's tough because for an entire season there are a lot of outfits with different hair and makeup. There's a lot for people to criticize. So, just don't take it too seriously. You just need to feel comfortable with whatever you wear. If you're comfortable, you can't go wrong.”

2. She Takes Travel Sized Skincare Products With Her

Celebrity Sightings In New York City - May 16, 2022Gotham/GC Images

Bryant shared her secrets for taking skincare products with her while traveling to E! Online. “I have everything in travel sizes. A beauty hack of mine is that when I go to my esthetician, I go ‘Where are the product samples?’ Always ask for the product samples. Those one-use packs of skincare products are great for travel. So, then I don't need to bring all of my products. I just have these little packs. I put those in my little bag so I don't have to bring my big makeup bag. Ladies, when you go to your esthetician, ask for samples. If they say they don't have them, they're lying.”

3. She Uses Nutrisystem

Bryant opened up about her secrets to weight-loss to E! Online. She says that she is working on eating better, and cites a specific meal service in particular. "I joined Nutrisystem and I'm an ambassador for them and that really, really helped me," she says. "With Nutrisystem, it gets delivered to your door, so I didn't need to worry about going out and buying all this junk, all this stupid stuff that I was eating...The pounds just literally fell off."

4. She Swims

Bryant shared one of her favorite workouts on an episode of RHOP. She says that she has started swimming a lot more. "I have incorporated, into my exercise routine, swimming," she says. "So I'm in a pool three times a week. And I know how to make my body better — all of this — by my swimming."

5. She Removes Her Makeup

Bryant tells E! Online that she makes sure to remove her makeup. She shared some of her favorite tips and products for doing so. "I have a lot of makeup on because it needs to hold up under the lights. I use the makeup wipes first. Then, I started using this balm from True Botanicals. The makeup melts right off. It's soft and it's kind of oily a little bit. It's heaven. It works so well. I wash my face with Cetaphil just to make sure all the makeup and dirt are gone. It's just a tried and true product."

1. She Loves to Be Outdoors

“I’m very happy that the world is opening up a little bit. I’m grateful to see my family more now; it always makes me happy and fills my heart with unconditional love. I’m also very excited to see my friends again and spend some quality time with everyone when we can travel safely,” she said of life a few years into the pandemic, to The Thirty. “Of course, it's been great to spend time ‘off the grid’ in a way, too. Over the past year and through the process of building a house in a remote part of the country, I've realized that being outdoors is great for my mental health. Now, I try to go outside more, go on a hike, work out, do my self-care routines as regularly as possible.”

“I like products that include charcoal for its ability to draw out toxins and remove impurities. I look for it in face masks and toothpaste, where it's used for its brightening effect. Also, in case you didn’t know, Dahlia Tequila is filtered through activated charcoal,” she told The Thirty.

3. She Works Out Daily

“Being a Victoria’s Secret model is not just work, it becomes your lifestyle,” the Hungarian model told Us. “So even before I became an Angel, I started to get a routine into my life, working out every day or four times a week and eating in a certain way that works for my body. I’m just doing that.”

4. She Worked Out With an Angel

“I did work out with Alexina [Graham] for awhile because we are really good friends,” she told Us. “It was actually funny that we both got the Angel contract now. We’ve been knowing each other for awhile so I would work out with her.” She added she’d say: “Like, ‘Hey dude, don’t be lazy!’” says Palvin. “Actually, we both wanted [to be Victoria’s Secret models] for so long and when she started to work with VS three years ago, I was like just wait for me, I’m coming, I’ll be there soon. So it’s kinda like, now we’re here, now we have to show the world.”

5. She Says “Listen to Your Body”

"This is me," Barbara captioned one photo. "It took me a while to understand what people meant by 'listen to your body' — it’s not always easy feeling good in our own skin and it takes time, trust me,” she told Sports Illustrated. "I'm still learning," she continued. "Over the past year I've discovered so much about my body, how it can change and evolve. One thing is for sure — only you know what’s best for you."

1. She Stays Hydrated

Michele revealed some of her health and wellness secrets in an interview with FashionBombDaily.com. Michele says that she makes sure to stay hydrated and drinks a lot of water each day. “Increase your water intake,” she said. “Any amount is better than what you’ve been drinking. Your body and skin will thank you for it in the long run.”

2. She Controls Her Portions

Michele tells FashionBombDaily.com that she isn’t on any specific diet. In fact, she admits that she’s not the healthiest eater. Rather, she practices portion control with her meals. “I try to cook as much as I can, and I don’t necessarily cook healthy, but I use very small portions to keep the calories at bay,” she said.

3. She Keeps Indulgences to Once a Week

Michele tells FashionBombDaily.com that she isn’t always the healthiest eater. She says that she does indulge, but tries to keep them for only once in a while. “I love soda, but my skin and body don’t,” she says. “I’m a cheater about once a week.” “Switching from regular to diet soda may offer a short term cut in calories, but your body won’t be fooled for long,” registered dietitian Kristin Kirkpatrick, MS, RD, LD, tells the Cleveland Clinic. “Research suggests that your body reacts to certain nonnutritive foods, including the artificial sweeteners in diet soda, in ways that may actually harm your health.”

4. She Runs On The Treadmill

She says that she likes to work out at home, and tries to do a cardio session each day. “I am naturally skinny but I stay on the treadmill in my house,” Michele says. “I watch the clock for the entire 45 minutes like a hawk. But I work really hard, I’m up to an eight incline.”

5. She Wear Sunscreen

Michele has amazing skin, and she takes care of it. She revealed some of her secrets to Radar Online. One of them is protecting her skin from the sun’s rays. “I wear sun screen every day, 50 or more because I believe it is a fountain of youth,” she explains. One "other key to effective sunscreen use is ensuring the correct application and amount. Most people aren't using as much sunscreen as they should. At least two tablespoons of sunscreen, or 1 ounce, should be used to cover all surfaces of the skin, except the eyelids," says the Mayo Clinic. "It is also important to reapply sunscreen at least every two hours, or any time after sweating or swimming. Although some sunscreens may be listed as water-resistant, none is truly waterproof."

German Model Leonie Hanne Stuns in Style

From coffee perks to Pilates workouts, learn her daily habits for a balanced lifestyle.

Leonie Hanne is living her best life in Thailand – in her swimsuit. In a new social media post, the German model flaunts her fantastic figure in a $750 Missoni bathing suit while enjoying a boating day in the tropics. “She dreamed of a tropical adventure 🦋,” she captioned the series of Instagram snaps. “Stunning,” commented one of her followers. ”So beautiful,” added another. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.

Coffee

Leonie enjoys the perks of caffeine. In one of her posts from Thailand, she drinks a cup of coffee at the poolside. According to the Cleveland Clinic, drinking coffee in moderation has several benefits. “It acts on your brain to improve memory, mood, reaction times, and mental function,” they say, citing a study finding that caffeine can improve endurance and performance during exercise. It is also antioxidant-rich, can ward off diabetes, prevent neurologic disease, lower cancer risk, and ward off depression, they point out.

Pilates

Leonie does Pilates at the super exclusive London studio Pilates in the Clouds. Why is Pilates a good workout? According to the Mayo Clinic, the workout has many benefits, as it “strengthens the body's inner core while increasing its flexibility, resulting in improved overall health.” It can also promote longer, leaner muscles, injury prevention, stress, and back pain relief, enhanced athletic performance, and heightened mind-body awareness.

At-Home Workouts

Leonie tries to get a workout in daily, preferably in the morning. I still try to get up early to maintain a sense of routine. I start every day with a quick at-home workout and a homemade acai bowl, before starting work on emails and content creation. I’ve been getting really into TikTok lately, it’s funny and keeps me feeling energised!” she told Arcadia.

Community

It takes a village, according to Leonie. “Community is key! The people you surround yourself with are more important than ever, as we are all trying to find ways to stay connected without being physically present. Speaking to people either on the phone or through social media can shift your mindset and motivation more than ever before,” she says.

Small, Healthy Habits

Leonie focuses on maintaining small, healthy habits. “Do something every day that brings you joy. Even if that means having something small to look forward to, like having your favourite snacks around the house or changing into an outfit that makes you feel good about yourself,” she says.

Sophie Piper is embracing island life – in her swimsuit. In a new social media post, the Love Island beauty shows off her fantastic figure in a swimsuit during a tropical vacation at Kandima Maldives with Josh Ritchie. “Island life,” she captioned the series of Instagram snaps taken at the picturesque resort. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.

She Doesn't Go Under the Knife

Sophie claims she hasn’t gone under the knife. “It’s your own body, you can do what you want to,” she told Grazia, weighing in on the show’s reputation for girls getting work done. “I wouldn’t have surgery myself; I don’t want it. I’ve got such a low pain tolerance as well; I’d be squirming around.”

She Gets Her Steps In

Stand Up Paddle Boarding

Sophie loves paddle boarding. The American Council on Exercise (ACE) agrees that paddle boarding is great for the core and cardio. Water sports can burn an average of 385 calories for a 140-pound male and 436 calories for a female of the same size, per a study conducted by Arizona State University.

She Skis

When Sophie hits the mountains, she throws on a pair of skis. “Ski club,” she captioned a photo. Research has linked downhill skiing to several health benefits. In addition to promoting physical fitness, it may decrease the risk of cardiovascular and metabolic diseases. Studies have also found that the more frequently a person skis, the prevalence of known hypercholesterolemia, systemic hypertension, diabetes, the frequency of mental stress, and the occurrence of memory deficits decline.

She Loves Group Fitness

“You’ve got to be body confident,” Sophie told Grazia. One of her favorite sweat methods? Group fitness. “A few gym classes can’t hurt,” she said.

She Goes Snorkeling

On her recent Maldives vacation, Sophie and Josh snorkeled in the crystal clear water. Surprisingly, putting on a snorkel and fins and swimming through the water is a great workout. In addition to being a great aerobic exercise and burning calories, other health benefits may include improved cardiovascular function, stress reduction, mood enhancement, and muscular toning.

Tammy Hembrow is "More Motivated Than Ever"

Join her challenges for workouts, meal tracking, and more for a healthier lifestyle.

Tammy Hembrow is a fitness influencer and expert. She has her own app, called Tammy Fit. Hembrow has a lot of challenges on her app. Recently, she advertised a challenge with a workout video on Instagram. Hembrow captioned the post, “We are 3 days into our first @tammyfitapp challenge of the year & I am more motivated than everrrrr. (Sign ups are still open if you haven’t joined yet - there’s still time to catch up!! - link in bio). Soooo happy seeing so many of my girlies (and guys) in this challenge doing it with me!! And I CANNOT wait to see everyone’s results at the end of the 8 weeks. We got thissss 💪🏼”

She Does Pulldowns

Hembrow is seen doing pulldowns in her Instagram video. Piedmont reports that pulldowns have a lot of benefits. “The lat pulldown is a fantastic exercise for strengthening the latissimus dorsi muscle, the broadest muscle in your back. This muscle promotes good posture and spinal stability. Form is crucial when performing a lat pulldown to prevent injury and reap the best results.”

She Lifts Weights

Hembrow is seen doing a lot of exercises with weights in her Instagram video. ACE Fitness states that using weights to workout has a lot of benefits. “Strength training with heavy weights improves muscle definition. Muscle definition occurs as the result of muscles remaining in a state of semi-contraction and heavy strength training recruits the larger type II muscle fibers responsible for a muscle’s appearance.”

She Tracks Her Meals

Hembrow likes to track her meals on her app. She talked about the benefits of this in the caption of this “What I Eat In A Day” Instagram video. “Make sure to take advantage of the calorie/macro tracking features in the @tammyfitapp during this challenge guys. It can be really helpful in reaching specific goals quicker.
