1. She’s Authentic

Casta opened up about her career to Grazia. She says that she wants to be authentic in her career, and change the perception of how models are viewed. “The idea is to fight for the beauty. When I talk about beauty it's something profound, not something superficial. It's true I came from fashion but I also felt I fought for something. I met incredible people like Saint Laurent who taught me to how to fight for beauty – real beauty. I think that's why they came to me because they knew I was trying all those 20 years to be authentic and trying to break the code as a model.”

2. She Makes Working Out A Priority

For Casta, fitness is a priority. She tells Grazia that she always makes time for exercise in her schedule. “Sometimes I have to [work out]. I don’t want to like everybody but I have to and I’m a human being. I’ve always been a sports person anyway since I was a young girl; it’s good for the brain. I go to run, I do gym sometimes, I swim... I’m not a freak out with that.”

3. She Runs

Casta toldHarper’s Bazaar in 2012 that she is an avid runner. “Ladies; we need to work out – there are no alternatives. I try to exercise as much as possible. I like to run, swim and walk rather than going to the gym. You can’t beat an early morning run to start the day. I am quite active, having children makes you that way because I’m always running around after them!”

4. She’s All About Self-Love

Casta is all about self-love and self-acceptance. She tells Grazia that she wants others to feel the same way. “You are beautiful in the eyes of someone without them looking at you. Beauty is something universal, it's not only one way of being. It's what I'm fighting for women to accept the feminity that they have. This is really important to me, [especially now that] I have daughters.

5. She Takes Care Of Her Skin

Casta has amazing skin, and she makes sure to take care of it. She shared some of her secrets with Into The Gloss. "Sometimes when I have puffy eyes, I take ice and put some rose lotion and a cotton pad all together, and put it on my eyes in the morning. I have a product for when the lips get dry…it’s papaya; Lucas Papaw Ointment... I love to use that product, but I can put it here too, on the eye. It can be a nice eye shadow, especially here, on the inner corner, to create light around the eye."

Some facts: We did the walks through 'La Cascada' and 'Las Animas' (we brought a picnic because we didn't know if we were going to find places to eat). At night we stay at the hotel, which is a bomb and has so much peace that we ask for food and have lunch there. Have a nice weekend!! And thanks to everyone who gave me information about Tandil. I already have a to-do list for when I get back.”

5. She Loves the Sun

Sunshine, the life-giving essence of our world, offers a multitude of benefits that extend far beyond its warm embrace. As the golden rays bathe our skin, they bring forth a cascade of advantages for our physical and mental well-being. First and foremost, sunlight is our primary source of vitamin D, a vital nutrient that plays a crucial role in maintaining healthy bones and boosting our immune system. Just a short exposure to sunlight can trigger the production of this essential vitamin, warding off deficiencies and reducing the risk of diseases like osteoporosis.

1. She Has No Time For Haters

Castillo has no time for critics. She also isn’t afraid to call them out. In August, Castillo called out the haters in this Instagram post. She wrote, “Dedicated to all the badasses who read me and to myself! I am going through one of the most powerful and transformative processes of my life and every day I admire more the fact of being a woman and all my colleagues.”

2. She Hikes

Castillo likes to do a lot of outdoor activities as a way to stay in shape. She shares a lot of different activities on her Instagram. One thing she likes to do is go hiking. Castillo posted this photo of herself and her husband hiking in the mountains in Peru. She captioned the post, “Height kisses.” According to Ace Fitness, “Hiking is cardiovascular in nature, so it can provide great benefit to heart health while also improving blood pressure and blood sugar levels.”

3. She Swims

Another outdoor activity Castillo enjoys doing is swimming. She posted this photo and video on Instagram of herself in an infinity pool. She captioned the post, “Between the sky and the sea. Infinite.” Better Health reports that there are many benefits to swimming. They state, “Swimming is a great workout because you need to move your whole body against the resistance of the water.”

4. She’s Open To Life

Enfermo de Amor - Red CarpetJaime Nogales/Medios y Media/Getty Images

Castillo opened up about what she has learned throughout her career in an interview with Observatory. She says that she is a lot more open to life. “I not only had an actress' vision but also a kind of director's vision; that is, at the same time that I was in a scene, I tried to be outside it, seeing how things happened. Over the years, one learns something that applies in life: ride the wave as it comes.”

5. She Learns From Her Roles

Castillo tells Observatory that she has learned a lot from her different roles. “I spent the first ten years of my career being very shy, believing very little in myself. I used it as a pretext to project myself as an actress, and I would have to ‘sell myself’ to an industry in which I did not believe much (although the truth is that I did not know it). Then a unique project came into my life, the character of Monica Robles, in the series El señor de los cielos.. Monica forced me to feel sexy, beautiful, powerful, owner of her circumstances. I had to create all that for myself for the first time, and I did it through acting. Then I learned that if I could create that in a scene, it was because it was inside me that I had that strength, that claw; above all, I had the power to see myself differently and bring it to life. That happens with the different characters: you see inside yourself, learn about the human condition, and visit many facets of yourself.”

Alice De Bortoli doesn’t just light up Instagram with her stunning fashion and effortless style—she also shares the secrets behind her enviable beach-ready physique. The Italian influencer keeps her followers in the loop when it comes to fitness, beauty, and wellness, proving that looking and feeling great is all about consistency. From skincare rituals to core-sculpting workouts, De Bortoli’s daily habits make it clear that staying in shape is about more than just hitting the gym. Whether she’s cooking up homemade meals, breaking a sweat, or showing off a fresh new look, she’s all about feeling her best from the inside out. Here are five of her go-to habits for maintaining a strong, confident, and glowing presence all year long.

She Takes Care Of Her Skin

De Bortoli has impressive skin. Naturally, she takes care of it on a regular basis. De Bortoli shared this video on Instagram sharing her skincare routine. She captioned it, “The secret to perfect skin? Here is my step by step routine! ✨💦🎀 What product can you absolutely not live without?”

She Changed Her Hair Color

De Bortoli recently changed her hair color. She explained why in the caption of this Instagram post. “The good thing about this color is that it does not require frequent touch-ups and it easily adapts to natural hair growth, it is versatile and can enhance any body and face shape 🧡for those who are tired of blonde or brown, bronde is the solution to change harmony without distortion 🤍for those who have a fair complexion, the most golden tone is recommended 🤎 for the dark complexion, on the other hand, more ash brown ❤️ 🔥what can I say... For me the bronde conquered, and what do you think?”

She Cooks

De Bortoli likes to cook, and she was taught to do so by her grandmother. She shared this video on Instagram of herself and her grandmother cooking together. De Bortoli captioned it, “Grandparents are wealth in society, my grandmother loves to cook and do it with her since I was a child. She has always inspired my creativity, patience, discipline and order but above all traditions, history, and the concreteness of nature's gifts. The greatest teaching my grandparents passed on to me is respect for people, the environment, animals and the kitchen... Today together we made Carnival Frittelle, an easy, quick dessert that adults and kids love. The ingredients are few and simple (but of high quality) and, trust me, the result is guaranteed: nice round but above all soft and tasty.”

She Works Her Abs

De Bortoli shared this video of herself working out on Instagram. In it, she is seen doing core exercises like sit-ups. Core exercises are extremely important. The Mayo Clinic says, “Strong core muscles make it easier to do many activities. When your core muscles are strong, it's easier to swing a golf club, get a glass from the top shelf and bend down to tie your shoes. Strong core muscles help athletes, such as runners. That's because weak core muscles can lead to more fatigue, less endurance and injuries.”

She Works Out With Others

In the previous Instagram video, De Bortoli is seen working out with a friend. Better Health says that this has a lot of benefits. “You’re less likely to get bored when you have a workout buddy, especially a friend. While you’re catching up, having a laugh, encouraging each other, you’re also getting healthier. It’s a win-win. Chatting to a friend during exercise and breaks can help time pass quickly too. You’ll have more options as well, such as a game of tennis or squash.”

Kristin Cavallari is a reality TV and fashion icon. Since she debuted on Laguna Beach, people have clamoured for her fashion and beauty secrets. Cavallari recently shared her eye makeup secrets on Instagram, after several people asked for them. She captioned the post, “This is for the girlies in my DMs asking about this eye every time I do it. Sorry the lighting is awful. I also don’t know why the audio isn’t in sync for half of it 🫣 but here ya go 💗”

She's Less Strict With Her Diet

Cavallari has written several cookbooks, and they have changed as her diet has changed. While promoting her book, Truly Simple with EatingWell, she revealed that her diet is less strict. “I've gotten to a point in my life where not everything has to be so perfect anymore,” Cavallari said. “I used to be so strict about what I was putting in my body. I'm still very healthy and very conscious of it, but I've gotten a little bit more lax. True Roots and True Comfort had nothing ‘white’ in them: no white flour, no white sugar, no white salt. But in Truly Simple, I bend a little bit in a few of the recipes, which really reflects where I am in my life and my new way of eating. Everything is a little bit more relaxed around here now.’

She Loves Cauliflower

Cavallari tells EatingWell that she loves making foods with cauliflower. “I love cauliflower because I think it's very versatile, and there's actually a Sweet Harissa Cauliflower recipe in Truly Simple that's my absolute favorite cauliflower recipe on the planet. If you've ever been to True Food Kitchen, their cauliflower was the inspiration behind it. There's this sweet harissa dressing that's on it, and there's little chopped-up dates in it, so it has that nice balance between sweet and savory. It's the absolute best.”

She Loves Salad

Cavallari likes to make salads. She shared one of her favorite recipes with EatingWell. “This salad has a few of my favorite things: salmon (which has omega-3s and is so, so good for you), bacon (no explanation needed), avocado (healthy fats), and spicy tomatillo ranch dressing (just yum). Together, they create culinary heaven. If you aren't familiar with tomatillos, they're similar to tomatoes but are slightly less sweet and are perfect when drenched in ranch.”

She Works With A Trainer

Cavallari tells Us Weekly that a lot of her gym sessions are with her personal trainer. “He kicks my ass,” she says. “He pushes me really hard. He has me actually lifting really heavy weight, the heaviest weight I’ve ever lifted in my entire life. I feel the best I ever have. I feel like I’m the strongest I’ve ever been.”

She Shared Her Eye Makeup Trick

Cavallari shared some of her wellness secrets in an interview with Us Weekly. She says that consistency is one of her biggest priorities. “My goal is sort of, right now, just to maintain the muscle that I have,” she says. “I’m really petite. I have no hips. I’m just small. And so if I don’t work out for like a week or two, I feel like all my muscle goes away. So it is about consistency for me.”

Rebeca Andrade is an Olympic gymnast. She is the most decorated Olympic athlete from Brazil, having won two gold medals, three silvers, and a bronze. Andrade recently shared some highlights of her native Brazil on Instagram. In some of them, she posed in a swimsuit while wading. Andrade captioned the post, “SC-&-RS🏕️🌅❤️ Being free is a paradox. It's committing to the life you want, without running away from the work that it entails. It's building freedom every day, with conscious choices and, mainly, with the acceptance that freedom is not the absence of limits, but the autonomy to know which ones are worth it and which ones are not. Being free is being willing to carry the weight of your own life and still find it funny.”

She Swims

In her Instagram post, Andrade is seen swimming. The Cleveland Clinic says that swimming has a lot of benefits. “Swimming takes much less of a toll on your body than, say, running or riding a bike. That’s because exercising in water lessens the impact of your body weight on your joints.”

She Does Gymnastics

Gymnastics is the main way Andrade stays in shape. British Gymnastics states that the sport has a lot of benefits. “When you take part in gymnastics, or any sport for that matter, your body releases chemicals called endorphins. These also help to trigger a positive feeling in the body which can have a positive impact on your happiness and mental wellbeing. This can help to combat feelings of anxiety and depression.”

She Prioritizes Safety

Andrade talked about her training approach in an interview with the Olympics website. She says that she and her coach prioritize her safety, and that she will skip floor sessions if she isn’t able to do it. "I talk a lot with my coach and we trust in each other. We always try to be really safe, and do floor in the correct moments. He believes in me. I'm never going to lie to not do it. So, when I really tell him that I can't do it, it's because I cannot and he always respects that.”

She Sets Goals

In her Olympics website interview, Andrade talked about her commitment and goal setting. Specifically, she talked about her goal to make the Olympic team. “The other [goal], which is the main one, is for us to qualify as a team,” Andrade said. “I think it will be very important for me, for my team, and the focus is on that, whatever happens there, the result is a consequence of our work, of our commitment. But I really want to be there with my team and be happy and healthy.”

She Cooks

Andrade makes sure to eat healthy. She also likes to cook a lot of her own meals. She shared some of her favorite things to make in an interview with NPR. “There was one that was with potatoes and cheese, chicken. There’s cake. There’s cookies. A lot of things.”
