Paige Woolen is a model. She’s an influencer. And she’s the brains behind the Dudes In DMs Instagram account. Woolen shares a lot of stunning photos on her Instagram account. Recently, she posted a new set of photos of herself in a burnt orange two-piece swimsuit. Woolen captioned the post, “In my overwhelmed era.” How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Paige Woolen 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 Builds Confidence

Paige-Woolen-1Paige-Woolen/Instagram

Woolen opened up about her career as a model and influencer in an interview with BitchMedia.org. She says that she does things to build her self-confidence in order to help with her career. “I think we get so attached to seeing this essentially flawless version of ourselves that it’s hard to hold a boundary. I say daily affirmations to myself in the mirror when I wake up, and I won’t check social media for an hour before bed. Having a routine to get your brain out of the social-media bubble is extremely important.”

2. She Uses Social Media As A Break

Paige-Woolen-2Paige-Woolen/Instagram

Social media isn’t just a job for Woolen. She tells BitchMedia.org that it is also a way of helping with her career. “Modeling is such an interesting job for exactly those reasons. When you’re doing a ‘job’ for someone else and they’re paying you, their idea of how you look can quickly become everything to you. It can really mess with your brain and your self-image. That’s why I find so much value in social media. On my Instagram or TikTok, I can look any way that I choose, I can say what I want—and that’s ultimate control and empowerment.”

3. She Wants To Help Others

Woolen revealed her reasons for creating Dudes In The DM to BitchMedia.org. She says that she wants to help other women, and is willing to face the harassment because of this. “I absolutely faced internal conflict after exposing men to their partners, but only briefly, and the conflict wasn’t morally based. When the story first went viral, I was shocked at how much hate I was getting (mostly from men). I was called a rat; I received death threats. People were even saying I should be arrested. Naturally, I panicked. But after the initial shock settled and I reread the messages from the women I helped, I knew I had done the right thing. People who bully or cheat want to be kept in the dark. They don’t want the truth to come out, and it angers them when they could possibly be exposed. There were a ton of accounts posting my photos and warning men about me. There were men claiming they are the true victims. But if you’re not being shady, you have nothing to worry about.”

4. She’s Transparent

Paige-Woolen-4Paige-Woolen/Instagram

Woolen tells BitchMedia.org that she is transparent on social media about using filters and getting plastic surgery. She says that she doesn’t want people to follow beauty standards or feel pressure. “I am as open about plastic surgery as I am about filters. We live in a world where literally anything is possible! You can alter anything on your body that you aren’t happy with. I recently got all the fat sucked out of my body and then shoved in my butt. That’s insane!”

5. She Values Kindness

Woolen shared what she values in a person, specifically a romantic partner, to Maxim. “True kindness. I think being kind is overlooked these days especially in the wake of social media. You can tell what someone has or what they look like but you’re unable to see who they truly are when the mask is off.”

Naomi Watts recently enjoyed a trip to Palm Beach. She went there to celebrate a friend’s birthday. Watts shared some highlights from the trip on Instagram. In them, she and her friends are seen by the pool and at the beach. She made sure to break out her swimsuits for the trip. Watts captioned the post, “We snuggled in matching pj's, drank poolside cocktails, peed our pants laughing, but most importantly we made forever memories in Pink Paradise.” How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Naomi Watts 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 Switches Up Her Skincare

Watts has amazing skin, and she makes sure to take care of it. She shared some of her favorite tips and products with WhoWhatWear. She says that she likes to switch up her skincare routine. “I change it up, and that’s one of the perks I get from working with Onda Beauty. Since the products we carry at Onda don't have any chemicals, I can easily shift from one to another, but I do have very reactive and sensitive skin. I’ll know right away if something isn’t going to work for me.”

2. She Double Cleanses

Watts tells WhoWhatWear that she likes to double cleanse her face. “If I’ve worn makeup that day, at nighttime I always do a deep double cleanse,” she explains. “I’ll start with an oil cleanse and then I’ll do a foam or milk cleanse. De Mamiel’s Pure Calm Cleansing Dew ($98) is a great oil cleanser, and I love Tammy Fender’s Cleansing Milk ($55).”

3. She Embrace Her Life

Watts tells WhoWhatWear that she makes sure to embrace everything that comes her way. “I just think you have to embrace the aging process. There are going to be good days, and there are going to be bad days. You just have to know that it’s a constant wave we need to ride and navigate. And hey, if you feel shitty about yourself once in a while, that’s normal and par for the course. But there are also going to be times when you feel good and like you’re managing it okay. Yes, I sometimes wish I didn’t have these lines around my mouth or chin, but my mind feels so much sturdier than it did in my 20s.”

4. She Loves Fitness Classes

Watts likes to go to fitness classes to stay in shape. She shared a favorite with WhoWhatWear. “I've always loved Taryn Toomey’s classes. It’s a movement class, but I find it’s very much about the mind and spirit as well. It just flows in such an incredible way, and I'm usually able to take something away from the experience that’s pretty uplifting. Or it helps me feel what I need to feel at that given time.”

5. She Does Low-Impact Workouts

Watts shared some of her favorite workouts with Harper’s Bazaar. She says that she does a lot of low-impact exercises. "I try to work out as often as I can, but I'm not fanatical about fitness. My back carries most of my tension and if I'm stressed I can't do high-impact exercise, so yoga and Pilates tend to work better for me. Meditation and yoga help me to balance the stress and slow down.”

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.

1. She Loves Super Noodles

"I'm obsessed with super noodles. So I post how to make them, what I do with them and then I'll go and try like loads of different ones from different stores,” Belle confessed to Heat World about her food obsession that gets her lots of social media followers. "Because people love to see it, I don't know why, but it makes my Story views double. So it's just a little bit of normality on my Story, which people can relate to."

2. She Practices Self-Love

"You need to be strong in yourself before anything. You need to work on yourself, you need to love you because whether you're great at something, a beautiful person or you're doing well, there's always going to be people that want to tear you down,” Belle told Heat World about the advice she would give aspiring influencers. "It's constantly pushed down my neck - filler, surgeries, boob jobs, nose jobs, bum lifts, lip filler, jawline filler, Botox... For me I personally don't feel like I would want to have anything like that as of now.”

3. She Opens Up About Her Self-Harming Past

On her dad, Tamer’s podcast Family Business, Belle opened up about her history of self-harm. “It's not something that's easy for me to talk about. I don't mind talking about it but it's not easy,” she said, revealing that “when I was a kid I did go through a stage of self harming.” She added: “Mental health has been something that has been close to me, and I think when I've worked with young girls, I've seen that in so many of them. It's normal to hate yourself, it's normal to feel like you're not enough, you're worthless, you're this, you're that. Being young and feeling like that about yourself is horrible.”

4. She Regularly Discusses Her Mental Health Struggles

Belle regularly updates her followers about her mental health struggles. “I’ve probably written and deleted this caption 20 times… I feel like it’s about time I spoke out and was honest about my issues as normally I try to keep them quiet as I don’t want people to think different of me,” she recently confessed. “I’ve had a long hard battle with my mental health and so many ups and downs, smiles and tears, I’m okay one minute and then I’m not okay the next and as so many of you have asked why I’ve been so quiet on Instagram I thought I would just try to explain myself, it’s because in basic terms, I’ve needed to take a break. A break from comparing myself, from feeling like I’m not enough, even to getting so consumed by what others are doing and posting. I have for so long kept quiet about the battle in my head as I don’t want people to view me different or think I’m weak or some kind of victim.” She doesn’t “want people to think they are on their own” and “Just because you are strong doesn’t mean you can’t hurt and cry and be sad,” she continued. “Even when you are low you are still strong and whatever you are going through, you will come out stronger than before.”

5. She Exercises

Belle works out with a personal trainer. She shared a TikTok detailing her workout. It includes various squats, lunges, hip thrusts, donkey kicks, battle ropes, and wall sits. Physical activity is anything that gets your body moving. Each week adults need 150 minutes of moderate-intensity physical activity and 2 days of muscle-strengthening activity, according to the current Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans.

Tia Carrere is celebrating the new year and her birthday in her bathing suit. The Wayne’s World alum shows off her fabulously fit figure in a black swimsuit via one of her latest social media posts. “happynewyear #happybirthday to me :-) Thank you thank you thank you @spychick_6 and #secretislandlair for an epic start to 2023 and the first day of the rest of my life!” she captioned the Instagram snap taken while vacationing in Eleuthera. “You look amazing! Happy New Year and Happy Birthday, Sis!” commented Kelly Hu. Many others, including Nicky Whelan, simply added lots of fire emojis. How does the 56-year-old stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Tia Carrere 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 Doesn’t Pay as Much Attention to Food and Exercise as She Did In Her 20s

Tia has explained that her approach to diet and fitness has evolved over the year. “Being 23 and doing Wayne’s World in those short tight dresses and bikinis, I had to pay more attention to food and exercise. I was never unhealthy about it or obsessed, but just aware of what I wanted to look like on film. A 23-year-old metabolism certainly helped though!” she confessed to InBetween. When her role as Lady Danger in AJ and the Queen came along, she “was over the moon” that she “could be who I am right now at this time in my life,” she added. “I’m more voluptuous in my look and the way I express myself. It was liberating being fully myself without feeling self-conscious at all. Meanwhile, my male co-star was on a strict diet and exercise plan for those abs he was showing all the time! Hilarious!”

2. She Believes Inner Beauty Trumps All

What is Tia’s message to her teenage daughter? “I am always trying to reinforce the thought that beauty comes in all shapes and sizes and that confidence is the most attractive part. Unfortunately, we live in a time of social media and hyper-focus on the image we project in the world. No matter what I say or how many times I say it, she will have to navigate this time in her own way. Adolescence is such a fraught time and now with media, it’s almost too much pressure for these kids,” she told InBetween.

3. She Doesn’t Want to Be a “Plastic Surgery Victim”

Tia is embracing the aging process. "When I was first starting, I was just thankful. Being an attractive, young female certainly afforded you some luxuries. People will see you, they are drawn to you. But then as time goes on, as you transition from your 20s to 30s and then 40s and 50s, there are treacherous waters that you need to navigate,” she said in an interview. "If you only value yourself for your physical beauty and youth, you’re going to be lost. Because as time marches on, you can never be the girl that you were now that you’re a woman years later. You have to create a life, and you have to find joy and fulfillment outside of that identity. That’s why you do see these plastic surgery victims – they’re eternally chasing 28. You have to leave that. You have to mature and grow and find fulfillment elsewhere."

4. She “Knows What Works for Her”

20th Century Studio's "Avatar 2: The Way Of Water" U.S. Premiere - ArrivalsFrazer Harrison/WireImage

In August, Carrere explained to Yahoo Life’s "Unapologetically" that posting bikini photos on social media wasn’t her thing. "I would love to get into amazing shape to show a bikini picture, but I prefer one-pieces anyway," she said. "I know what works for me and I know what works for my body and what makes me feel comfortable. I could become a triathlete and go, ‘You know what? I can’t believe I have a 12-pack for the first time in my life,’ and maybe I would want to celebrate that with a bikini picture. But, as of yet, I haven’t gotten to that point."

5. She Is “Comfortable” in Her Skin

Tia told Yahoo that she is "comfortable” in her skin. "I’ve done incredibly well with maintaining a balanced mind, body and spirit for having been in this business for almost 40 years now. And unfortunately, we’ve all seen the carnage along the way. It’s very, very difficult when you’re the product not to take it personally when your stock goes up or down, when people take nasty potshots at you, as they can with easy access now with social media. You really, really have to work on your internal core strength so that the marketplace doesn’t dictate whether you’re happy with yourself,” she said.

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.

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 … 🤷🏻♀️👀😆❤️🙌”
