Attwood loves going to the gym, much preferring it to outdoor cardio. “I’d much rather hit the gym than go for a run, so to get ready for summer I make sure I go to the gym and get loads of squats done,” she says. “Squats are the secret! Also, because I don’t like hitting the beach with pale skin, I try to build up a base tan in the garden and often get a spray tan before heading off somewhere sunny.”
2. Clean Diet and Supplements

Attwood enjoys a healthy, balanced diet supported by supplements. "I'm quite big on my homeopathic medicines and vitamins, I spend probably a small fortune on them every month which I guess is quite extra,” she says. “My mum is really into all that and she's kind of instilled it into me, I eat a very natural and clean diet.”

Attwood enjoys spending time in the kitchen, whipping up healthy meals with fresh ingredients. “I make a mean roast dinner and I have an amazing recipe for fish cakes, which I make from scratch,” she says. “The fish cakes are my go-to dish for when I have mates over for dinner.”
4. Self-Care Sundays
Attwood loves spa sessions on what she calls Self-Care Sundays. "I'm a proper bath girl, I love a bath,” she says. “So I would do a bath and then scrub off all my old fake tan and reapply. For me, fake tan is just a non-negotiable for self-care... I need to be tanned! Amanda Harrington is my favorite at the minute, I love the face mist (£28) and it's such a good tan, it doesn't give you any spots or block your pores or anything. I also love a face mask, I love Rodial face masks. they've got a Vitamin C mask sheet (£14), which is so nice."
5. Dry, Low-Sugar Wine

Attwood enjoys low-sugar wine, which experts say should be enjoyed in moderation. “You can’t beat a chilled glass of rosé in the summer, but Pinot Grigio is typically my go-to drink – whether I’m chilling in the sunshine or enjoying a night out with the girls,” she says. “My current fave is the I Heart Pinot Grigio from I Heart Wines. If I fancy a cocktail, I tend to go for something light and refreshing, like an Aperol Spritz. I make it with Aperol, soda, I Heart Prosecco and lots of ice.”
