Harvey has amazing skin, and she makes sure to take care of it. She revealed her secrets to Nylon. Harvey says that she likes to combine different practices. “I invested in a good facial steamer. I like to use it when I wear a face mask. I'll do four or five different face masks in one night. I'll sit by the steamer, if I'm doing like a clay mask, and let it seep into my pores and pull out any impurities.”

3. She Loves Going To A Sauna

Harvey tells Nylon that she likes to go to a sauna to help with her wellbeing. “I'll typically go to a Pilates class, and then I like to sit in the sauna. The sauna is also really, really good for your skin and it's very therapeutic, and then I shower. I typically try to get in the sauna after I work out every day for at least 30 minutes. It helps me relax. I like to gather my thoughts in the sauna.”

4. She Doesn’t Always Wear Makeup

Harvey tells Nylon that she doesn’t always like to wear makeup, and has been embracing her natural look. “I don't put on makeup every day,” she says. “I kind of prefer not to unless I'm going out somewhere. I have been embracing not putting on any makeup and just taking care of my skin. It's been so good! It's an overall confidence boost for me, when my skin looks good and it's clear.”

5. She Doesn’t Care What Others Think

Diane Guerrero, star of Doom Patrol and Encanto, does it all—author, actor, activist. (She was honored at the 2018 Phillip Burton Immigration & Civil Rights Awards.) She also keeps fit.

1. She is Back on the Wellness Track

During the heart of the pandemic, “I feel like at the beginning I was kind of working out in an unhealthy way. I think I was just going for it because I felt like that was something I could control and of course that wasn’t sustainable. And I wasn’t really going online or taking classes or anything like that because I - I don’t know I felt like I had to deal with this on my own, but that wasn’t sustainable so I kind of fell off and now I’m really looking forward to introducing some new stuff into my routine as well, you know before I was on this working out alone tip and I’m LONELY now. I want to connect with people so this is an exciting way,” she told HOLA.

2. This is What She Listens to When Working Out

“I‘m actually a 90s girl! It’s really funny cause I’m trying to get pumped and listening to- actually no- Alanis Morissette can really pump a girl up and you have such a mix you have some Alanis to TLC to Salt and Pepa so I’m into it, it takes me back to when I was a kid and free,” she told Hola.

3. This is Her Morning Ritual

“I have hot water and lemon every morning before I eat anything. I drink that so my stomach settles and because it’s good for your digestion. Plus, the lemon gives me an energy boost that I can’t get from coffee. It’s part of my morning ritual, and rituals are really good to balance stress and anxiety. This one really helps me a lot,” she told Glamour.

4. This is One Go-To Meal

“That would be a vegetable stir-fry because it’s so easy. I put olive oil, salt, pepper, a little paprika to have a little spice, and a little bit of apple cider vinegar to give it a bit of a tangy flavor. I make it with couscous or rice, and then grab the vegetables from the fridge and put them in a stir-fry. You can have a meal for two days,” she told Glamour.

5. She’s a Warrior

Guerrero is an activist, and has written about the deportation of her Colombian parents, which happened when she was just 14, in her shattering memoir In the Country We Love. (She also wrote My Family Divided, a coming-of-age memoir.) “My last name means warrior,” Guerrero said. “I am the daughter of immigrants. It’s not my entire identity, but certainly informs it. I’ve been able to use that truth to really propel me forward in a time where the odds were really against me. And a lot of the odds are against a lot of people who go through separation or the systemic barriers that are in place for a lot of black and brown women,” she told SheKnows.

Life’s a beach for Lori Harvey! The influencer and skincare founder is on another vacation in the tropics, flaunting her fabulous, rock hard figure in a colorful swimsuit. On Thursday she shared photos and videos from her getaway, including a few showcasing her curves, set to the Beyoncé song "Mood 4 Eva." How does the daughter of Steve Harvey keep herself so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Lori Harvey stays in shape and the photos that prove they work—and to get beach-ready yourself, don't miss these essential 30 Best-Ever Celebrity Bathing Suit Photos!


1. She Works Out Like a Boss

Lori-Harvey-1Lori Harvey/Instagram

Lori may spend a lot of time on vacation, but she also puts in her time at the gym. The star is a regular at The Dogpound, where she executes intense weight and strength training workouts, doing everything from pull ups to squats. “I usually try to switch it up and do more cardio some days and more strength training on others,” the Pretty Little Thing ambassador revealed during an interview. Her workouts usually start with a five minute warmup, followed by a few circuits of strength training, “either lower or upper body depending on what day it is and I always finish with ab work,” she said.

2. She Eats Healthy

Lori-Harvey-2Lori Harvey/Instagram

A healthy diet fuels Lori for fitness. One way she keeps her eating on track is stocking her kitchen with nutritious eats. “I always keep some fruit around, I love strawberries and pomegranates. Lots of water. And some type of breakfast foods like eggs or oatmeal,” she said.

3. She Boxes

Celebrity Sightings In New York City - February 15, 2022Gilbert Carrasquillo/GC Images

Lori is one of the many stars who stays fit with the help of boxing. The star can often be spotted throwing punches with her gloves on at The Dogpound. This time of workout can yield tremendous results. "Our review provides preliminary review evidence suggesting that participation in HIIT can improve cognitive function and mental health in children and adolescents. Because of the small number of studies and large heterogeneity, more high-quality research is needed to confirm these findings," says one study.

4. She Does Pilates

Lori also does Pilates to keep her body long and lean. “We had the booty band on the entire time,” she recently told Bustle during an interview, which was conducted post-Pilates class. “I just feel muscles working that I didn’t even know I had, but that is what I’m really into right now.”

5. She Stays Active Outdoors

Like so many stars, Lori makes sure to maintain an active lifestyle. In addition to walking and hiking, she is an experienced equestrian. “It’s very freeing. My mind constantly is going at a million things 24/7; it’s hard for me to shut my brain down. When I’m on a horse, literally that is all I’m thinking about: me in that moment and me and that horse. You have to be very in tune to the horse and what’s going on, and picking up on them and the environment, and making sure there’s not anything around that could maybe spook them or scare them,” she told Bustle. “I did show jumping, so I’m paying attention to my distance from the jumps and the setup, and is [the horse] positioned right? So many things go into it, but it’s a very freeing experience.”

1. This is Her Wellness Hack

“I started working out a few months ago and I've been finding it's really good for a bit of therapy. I've really been enjoying that. I go three times a week and I actually find I feel different when I go away and I've not been working out - I don't feel as good. Exercise is so good for keeping your head on,” she told Glamour. She added: “I don't really live by a fashion rule. If you like it, then you wear it - there are no rules.”

2. This is Her Brow Trick

“I like using a pencil, I used to use a brow pomade but I really like a pencil now. I just fill them in, brush them out, I think that's really important so they don't get too blocky. I actually use hair gel in them to get the spiky look which keeps them in place all day. I use the Bleach Well Gel,” she told Glamour.

3. This is How She Chills Out

“I literally just like staying at home, chilling, watching films but then I also like going out with my friends when I've got free time, so I always try and make sure I've got time to do both - I like to balance the two,” she told Glamour. “Relaxation techniques are a great way to help with stress management. Relaxation isn't only about peace of mind or enjoying a hobby. It's a process that decreases the stress effects on your mind and body. Relaxation techniques can help you cope with everyday stress. And these techniques can help with long-term stress or stress related to various health problems, such as heart disease and pain,” says the Mayo Clinic.

4. She Says There’s No Shame in Asking for Help

"I feel quite responsible for my family and I wanted to be strong for them. I've realised that asking for help is actually the opposite of weakness,” she told Cosmopolitan. After her mother’s death, she reportedly repressed her feelings. "Now I know that if you need to cry, then it's important to allow yourself time to cry."

5. She Shared Her Emotions Online

"I do get a lot from sharing my story online, I feel like I'm reaching people and helping, which in turn helps me. Fans and followers have been so supportive too, telling me that they're proud. But sometimes I do feel pressure to respond to all of the messages I receive – which isn't always possible – which is why it's so nice that I can now signpost them to somewhere that practical help is on offer. Sue Ryder offer online support and have a forum,” she told Cosmo.

1. She Loves Performing

“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."

Bianca Bustamante is revving up her engine in 2025 – in her workout gear. In a new social media post, the racecar driver reveals she is taking “the next major step” in her physical journey as a race driver “and I’ve set the target high!” she says in a new Instagram post, filled with video clips of herself lifting heavy weights at the gym. “Never been more motivated in my life, it’s not physically easy for a girl in this sport, but I’m super excited to take on this new challenge and the next big step on my racing journey,” she added. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here are her top lifestyle tips.

Lifting Weights

Bianca spends hours at the gym where she focuses on strength training along with endurance, cardio, reaction time, and reflexes. “You know, to be a driver, it’s a complete package. It takes strength. It takes mental fortitude. It takes reflexes, smart thinking, and survival skills,” she told MEGA Active. “Sometimes it's for the body, sometimes it's for the mind. Nothing more peaceful than early sessions,” she captioned an Instagram post of one of her sessions.

Double Down On Training

In her recent post, Bianca reveals that she working extra hard at the gym. “I’ve been working hard over the years to build a solid foundation, but in 2025, I’ll be working with @j_w_90 and I’m doubling down on my training. Increasing to two workouts a day not just on lifts but aerobic endurance, as well as a better focus on nutrition and rest, in order to raise the bar to compete in the higher formulas,” she said.

Fueling Your Body With Protein

Bianca makes sure to eat enough protein in order to build more muscle and stay as lean as possible to meet the weight requirement. “It’s been a really cool journey seeing my body develop and transform into this whole different person I never knew I could become,” she said. In her new post she added that she is meal prepping. “I’m soooo all in that im even learning how to cook & meal prep better than ever before,” she writes.

Taking Cold Plunges

As for recovery, cold plunging is part of Bianca’s training regime. Limited research supports the benefits of cold plunges, which may include easing sore muscles, bringing body temperature down, increasing focus, improving sleep, and decreasing inflammation, per the Cleveland Clinic. However, a 2021 study found that cold water immersion therapy promotes post-sport recovery.

Working On Self-Esteem

Positive self-talk is also important. “Of course, I put a lot of pressure on myself, but in the end, I always tell myself that as long as I give my best and I learn from it, any mistake I make is valid,” Bianca explained. “I always try to repeat that to myself that I am valid. I’m here for a reason and there’s nothing I would rather do than be here.”

Brenda Perlaza is flaunting her fantastic figure in a tiny bikini. In a new social media post the influencer, who calls herself La Barbie Negra, looks flawless as she poses on the beach in a neon yellow swimsuit. “#viral,” she captioned the series of Instagram snaps. “Wow Wow,” one of her followers commented, while several others added fire emojis. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.

Jogging

Brenda enjoys jogging. According to the Mayo Clinic, running is great for cardiovascular health, muscle building, and weight loss. “For every mile run, the average person will burn approximately 100 calories,” they say.

Walking Her Dog

She also takes her dog on long walks. Going for a daily walk can be a game changer, especially at a brisk speed. One study published in JAMA Internal Medicine found that walking at a brisk pace for about 30 minutes a day reduced the risk of heart disease, cancer, dementia, and death, compared with walking a similar number of steps but at a slower pace.

Dancing

You can also find Brenda dancing to burn calories. Dancing is an excellent workout for many reasons. It builds strength and promotes flexibility, helps you lose weight, and even promotes cardiovascular function. A 2016 study published in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine determined that people who engaged in moderate-intensity dancing were 46 percent less likely to develop or die from heart disease than non-dancers. In comparison, moderate-intensity walkers were just 25 percent less likely to suffer heart health issues

Swimming

Brenda spends a lot of time in her swimsuit so it isn’t surprising she loves to swim. According to the CDC, swimming is a good way to get regular aerobic physical activity. Just two and a half hours per week of aerobic physical activity, such as swimming, bicycling, or running, can decrease the risk of chronic illnesses. In addition to the many physical benefits, multiple studies support the mental health benefits of swimming.

Hydration

Finally, Brenda hydrates, especially after a long workout or sun exposure. According to the Mayo Clinic, hydration is essential for various reasons. Water helps eliminate waste through urination, perspiration, and bowel movements, keeps your temperature regular, lubricates and cushions joints, and helps protect sensitive tissues.

Model and influencer Claudia Romani isn’t just making waves with her glamorous beachside posts—she’s living the healthy lifestyle to match. Recently, Romani shared a video on Instagram, taking a refreshing dip in the pool with the caption, “Kisses from the 305.” But her fitness routine goes beyond just swimming.

But that amount varies depending on your weight, speed and stroke.”

She's Vegan

Romani is open about following a vegan diet. She shares a lot of posts on her Instagram story highlights of herself enjoying vegan foods. The American College of Lifestyle Medicine states that being vegan has a lot of health benefits. “Overall, nutrition from plant-based diets is typically of higher quality than omnivorous diets, as assessed by the Alternative Healthy Eating Index (AHEI).28 A whole food plant-based (WFPB) diet is one made up of predominantly unprocessed fruits, vegetables, whole grains legumes, nuts and seeds, and excludes animal foods, with certain selective supplementation of vitamins B12. Sometimes D. Intentionally planned, WFPB diets provide sufficient nutrient intakes for all stages of life and can be therapeutic for chronic disease and overall health and healing.29 The plant-based dietary pattern protects against overconsumption of nutrients that lead to obesity and disease,30 particularly animal protein, saturated fat,31 trans-fats, cholesterol simple sugars,32 and sodium.33, 34”

Romani makes sure to work out on a regular basis. She shares a lot of Instagram stories in her highlights of herself at the gym. The Mayo Clinic says that regular exercise is extremely important. “Exercise can help prevent excess weight gain or help you keep off lost weight. When you take part in physical activity, you burn calories. The more intense the activity, the more calories you burn. Regular trips to the gym are great, but don't worry if you can't find a large chunk of time to exercise every day. Any amount of activity is better than none. To gain the benefits of exercise, just get more active throughout your day. For example, take the

She Supports Animals

Romani has her own charity, Help Miami Cats. She talked about how she started this in the caption of this Instagram post. “❤️ Guys!!!! I have always loved cats and had many growing up. When I moved to Miami Beach I met a great calico named Chacha and learnt that cats were brought to the city by Mayor Lummus … against rodents. Cats rely on volunteers for their food and water and there’s a huge amount of them. There’s a city program to Spay and neuter with the wonderful @sobecats ladies and the feeding is made official by a City Sanctioned badge, yet new cats keep getting dumped daily sadly and there’s a never ending amount of work, emergencies and so on. I was on a feeding rotation but during the pandemic I was left alone caring for so many as people left town or couldn’t afford feeding anymore …I decided to start my own non profit @helpmiamicats . We feed close to 200 and when Batman got paralyzed took him and other special needs cats under my care … @stevensachs69 with the cat room and the amazing people involved devote their lives to these special souls … My life has changed a lot too … way less spare time, way more sweat and tears and lost the person I had by my side who had sadly other priorities … yet gained so much love from these lovely creatures !!! If you can please get involved in any way … follow @helpmiamicats , share, volunteer, adopt … donate … Only together we can make their world a better place !!! And yes … just me feeding the kitties and talking to them … 🤷🏻♀️👀😆❤️🙌”
