1. She Advises Self-Care

“Give yourself the treats you love, and time to breathe wherever you can. If you're working, home educating and things are tough you need to care for yourself, to be able to help anyone else,” Kensit wrote about life during lockdown. And accept what you can’t change. “It's so hard not to be angry with the way things are and have been. But right now, it is what it is. Breathe and look to the future where you can, instead of living in fury right now.” She founded the Instagram community Conscious Plus with this dictum in mind: “Consciously connecting, communicating & celebrating what makes us amazing, at every age!” The following quotes are from her page.

2. Ask Yourself, “Is My Lifestyle Serving Me”

“THERE IS A REASON WE DONT TALK 'DIETS'...” Kensit captioned a post in January. “At this time of year, the messages around wellness and self esteem are overwhelming. On one side the billion dollar diet industry assuming that 'of course' your priorities are to drop pounds. The machine that is Instagram fitness has cranked up with ad after ad of bodies working up a sweat.

And the body positive community are pushing back - often rightly- with messages about health being more than scales, and attractiveness being more than thin. But sometimes that can come with pressure too - the pressure to accept a body that rightly or wrongly you're not comfortable in.

Firstly, we have every size on my team and I've been many sizes myself. We ALL have body insecurities and we ALL empathise with the desire to feel attractive and confusion about what that is.

My view is that ALL women are beautiful BUT everyone has a right to decide what healthy and well looks like for them. One woman's size 6 is another's 16 - and living a miserable life as either isn't worth it.

We will NEVER talk diets here but self esteem and joy matter. Ask yourself if your lifestyle is serving you. If not, change it however you can, with whatever tools you have available.”

3. She Says You’re Not "a Pain"

“WE ARE NOT PAINS FOR...

Asking for a second opinion

Listening to our instincts

Expecting to be considered

Wanting to be heard

Feeling low

Needing reassurance

Feeling scared/sad/anything

Wanting educated

Interrupting

Changing plans

Not enjoying ANY experience

Having dietary needs

SO many of us feel like it's too much of us to ask for the above, that we're inconveniencing others. That we're a 'pain'.

We. Are. Not,” she wrote recently.

4. 'No Fear' is Her Mantra

Kensit recently shared a great quote from AbFab star Joanna Lumley: “"A lot of us are ruled by fear during our lives - afraid we'll get burgled, afraid a dog will bite us, afraid we'll get fat, afraid someone will leave us. Once you lose fear, life becomes sweeter, and that happens as you get older. I'm sure by the time I'm 80, I'll be able to do absolutely anything!” Kensit’s response: “LOVE, LOVE, LOVE!”

5. She’s An Advocate For Confident Menopause

Kensit recently shared the cover of a book called Perimenopause Power, by Maisie Hill. “THE MINDFUL MENOPAUSE...SHARING AGAIN,” she captioned it. “I devoured this the first time I read it so sharing again, because I'm reading it again!I believe that menopause is easier when we EMPOWER ourselves through it. Learning as much as we can allows us to advocate confidently for ourselves, make treatment choices that work for our bodies and make sense of the changes as they happen.”

“Women start perimenopause at different ages. You may notice signs of progression toward menopause, such as menstrual irregularity, sometime in your 40s. But some women notice changes as early as their mid-30s,” says the Mayo Clinic. Added Kensit: “@_maisiehill_ Peri Menopause power is a brilliant chance for women to do just that. It's accessible, clever and thorough - brilliant. Must read! Love, Patsy xx”

Rainford opened up about her career to Wonderland Magazine. She says that the pandemic made her want to go after new opportunities, like auditioning for Nova Jones. “I think with everything that happened, it made me realise that if I enjoy something I should just go ahead and do it,” she says. “I love music and I love making music and being an artist, but acting and drama have also been something that I really enjoyed, so when the opportunity came up to do some self tape auditions and auditions over Zoom, I jumped at the opportunity.”

2. She Doesn’t Rush Things

Rainford opened up about how her mindset has changed in her Wonderland Magazine interview. She says that she is taking things slow when it comes to her career, and is letting things happen on their own pace. “I think the biggest thing I’ve learnt is that everyone’s journey is different. Whether you’re just starting now, or been in it for a while, you shouldn’t rush things.”

3. She Focuses On Herself

Rainford isn’t comparing herself to others and is focusing on herself. “You should really work on yourself and your craft,” she tells Wonderland Magazine. “Just enjoy every moment because it’s so much fun when you get to do something you love. So just take it all in.”

4. She’s Not Trying To Be Perfect

Prior to appearing on Strictly, Rainford talked about her approach to the show in an interview with BBC One. She says that she didn’t want to put too much pressure on herself to be perfect and just enjoy herself on the show. “I can be a perfectionist. So trying not to stress too much about one specific thing, and worry about the overall product. I've heard from others that simplicity is key.”

5. She Goes To The Beach

Rainford loves to spend time by the water. She and her Strictly co-star, Fleur East, decided to take a beach vacation together to Barbados. Rainford shared this photo on Instagram of the two of them by the water. She captioned it, “From the ballroom to the beach.” MedIndia reports that going to the beach can have a positive impact on your mindset and wellbeing. “Listening to the waves crash against the shore calms brain activity, and the color blue offers a sense of relaxation, serenity, and peace, thereby releasing hormones such as dopamine and serotonin to reduce your stress levels. So, make sure to wash away your stress levels at the seaside.”

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.

Ileana D’Cruz, star of Barfi!, Main Tera Hero, Rustom, and Raid is headed into fall but still acting like it’s summer.

1. She Loves the Beach

“Gorgeous beach days and unending cocktails 🍸,” Ileana said once. “Being active on sand isn't just about soaking up some rays. When sand moves beneath your feet, it engages your ankles, arches, and calves, which can burn extra calories while you move,” says Cedars-Sinai. “Taking it slow, staying on wet sand, and wearing shoes can help keep you upright and enjoying a great workout in the ocean air this summer.”

2. She Had Body Dysmorphia

“I’ve always worried about how I looked. I’ve worried my hips are too wide, my thighs too wobbly, my waist not narrow enough, my tummy not flat enough, my boobs not big enough, my butt too big, my arms too jiggly, nose not straight enough, lips not full enough….. I’ve worried that I’m not tall enough, not pretty enough, not funny enough, not smart enough, not ‘perfect’ enough,” she once wrote. “Not realising I was never meant to be perfect. I was meant to be beautifully flawed.

Different.

Quirky.

Unique.

Every scar, every bump, every “flaw” just made me, me.

My own kind of beautiful.

That’s why I’ve stopped. Stopped trying to conform to the world’s ideals of what’s meant to be beautiful.

I’ve stopped trying so hard to fit in. Why should I?? When I was born to stand out.”

3. She Says “Take Care of Yourself”

Ileana once wrote: “Take care of yourself. Take care of what you choose to put into your system. The body you have is uniquely beautiful so nourish it - physically as well as mentally.

Lastly dress up, show up, not for anyone else. Just do it for you. It’s so worth it. Trust me. ♥️”

4. She Likes Dogs Over Humans

Ileana shared a photo of herself with a dog. “If you really think I’m ever gonna look at a human like this……Hahahahahahahahahhaha,” she captioned it. “#doggosoverhumans @orotheindie 🥹♥” “Owning a dog can help you live longer. A comprehensive review of studies published between 1950 and 2019 found that dog owners had a lower risk of death. Studies suggest that dog owners have lower blood pressure levels and improved responses to stress. Even just living with a dog makes a difference—people who had experienced previous coronary events had an even higher level of risk reduction for death. Research has concluded that the bond between humans and dogs reduces stress, which is a major cause of cardiovascular problems,” says the American Kennel Club.

5. She Enjoys Some Country Air

“Throwing it back to the time I was casually chilling in lovely picturesque English countryside, in animal print, black lace, and goth makeup 💀 😂,” she captioned a photo she shared recently. “Grill out on the patio. Or if the weather is cool, bundle up in warm clothes and sit around a fire pit. If you and your friends haven't been vaccinated, keep your gathering small, maintaining social distance from others. Plan activities that don't require close contact. You may even choose to have everyone bring their own food and drinks. Wash your hands when you arrive and leave the gathering,” says the Mayo Clinic.

Madison Pettis, star of Cory in the House, The Game Plan, and Life with Boys, is currently enjoying a tropical vacation.

Read on to see 5 ways Madison Pettis 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 Get Discouraged

It is difficult to be an actress, as you never know when you’ll get your next job. This can easily take a toll on someone’s mental health. However, Pettis says that she tries to not let it get her down. She tells Composure Magazine, “It’s very easy to get caught up in the ‘What’s next?’ For an actor, it can be a lot of pressure to always have something going on. This business is a rollercoaster & it’s easy to get discouraged when you’re in between jobs. But you just have to stay positive and be proud of how much you’ve already accomplished so far!”

2. She Isn’t Living In The Past

Pettis is a former child star, and she has had to deal with transitioning to starring in more mature roles. She says that she’s had to deal with criticism from fans for her most recent projects. However, Pettis says that she’s not going to live in the past anymore. Pettis tells Teen Vogue, “People always made jokes. It was like, ‘You're my entire childhood.’ And then, slowly as I've gotten older and done more mature roles, been a little sexier, people are like, ‘Oh my god, you're ruining my childhood.’ I'm like, you have to get with the progression. I'm the same age as you now. Right? Like, we were both eight and now we're 23.”

3. She Manages Her Stress

Being an actress is very stressful. However, Pettis says that she is good at managing it, especially as she’s gotten older. “I think as a kid, you just have no idea what's at stake, you have no idea the pressure that's on you,” Pettis explains to Teen Vogue. “You really don't understand what's going on. So everything was just like a blind optimism. Now if I feel stressed, or feel a lot of pressure, feel like everything's weighing on me heavily, I try to get back into my inner child who always did it for the fun of everything, and just was ready to entertain and do what made her happy without thinking of what's at stake. That's when I feel most comfortable and can find that confidence again.”

4. She Uses Anti-Humidity Spray

Pettis has incredible curly hair, and many people are clamoring for her secrets. She revealed some of them to GirlsLife.com, including how she deals with humidity. “Using an anti-humidity spray is key! Since my hair is naturally so curly, it always wants to resist being completely smoothed out all the way straight. Any amount of moisture makes it curl up, so anti-humidity spray is a lifesaver!”

5. She Keeps Her Hair Hydrated

Pettis has curly hair, which can be difficult to manage, and keep hydrated. However, she tells GirlsLife.com that she does a lot of things that keep her hair hydrated. “My hair is naturally spiral curly, but I have a few tricks to help keep them healthy! The secret is making sure they are conditioned & hydrated so they're not dry, and not going overboard with products that make them look oily or hard & crunchy! Applying the perfect amount of leave-in conditioner while your hair is wet keeps them from getting frizzy. Curly hair comes in all different textures, so it's important to find the right leave-in conditioner for yours. Sometimes I have a few curls that are droopy or frizzy, so occasionally I'll use a curling wand with a small rod that matches the size of my curls to spruce up the limp pieces.”
