1. This is Her Wellness Routine

“I won’t lie: I’m a fan of the snooze button, so I like to do a little extra sleeping whenever I can. After I wake up, I do some light stretching just to get myself going and then I like to do affirmations. I think it’s really important to start the day off with positive energy. I usually do all that before my morning skincare, and then it’s off to breakfast! I would say the most important part of my wellness routine is not going straight to my phone in the morning. I like to take my time and really get myself centered before I go into work mode. After breakfast, I shower and then head to the gym for cardio and weights,” she tells W.

2. She Does This for Her Skin

“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 tells W.

3. Fashion is Self Care

“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.

4. This is Her Favorite Workout

“There’s an incredible woman that’s from the U.K. — Body By Ciara — and she does live classes. She does about three to four styles of workouts a day. Her body is unbelievable. She’s really kept me going throughout this climate and I do that every day with just a few weights and some resistance bands,” she tells the Zoe Report.

5. She Does Circuit Training

“I do circuit training. I usually work out for one or two hours, depending on how much time I have,” she previously told Shape. “I do three circuits and repeat that three times. I mostly focus on my thighs and my bum, so I do a lot of squats and weight lifting. And I do one circuit of cardio.”

6. She Feels Content After Working Out

“What I've learned is that you can take your time with training,” Rita told Shape. “You don't have to beat yourself up as long as you get in the workouts that you need. I used to push myself until I felt sick. But I'm approaching it differently now. I enjoy working out. And I like the aftermath—that feeling of contentment.”

7. She Does Yoga

Try it. “Establishing a home yoga practice is a great way to keep your body and mind at ease. Yes, it can sometimes test your patience, and you might not be able to touch the floor during that first — or 15th session. But the beauty of it is if you keep at it, you’ll eventually loosen the tight grip that stress has on your body,” says the Cleveland Clinic.

Singer, TV personality, presenter and actress Rita Ora is celebrating her birthday. She just shared a new photo from one of her friends on her Instagram story. In it, they enjoyed a day on a boat.

1. She Changes Her Skincare To Fit Her Current Needs

Ora has amazing skin, and she makes sure to take care of it. She revealed her secrets to Vogue. Ora says that when it comes to skincare, she doesn’t have a set-in-stone routine. While Ora does things on a regular basis, most of what she does is determined by what she thinks her skin needs at the moment. “You have to, like, evaluate what’s happened to your face during the day,” she says.

2. She’s All About Self-Love

One of Ora’s biggest skincare secrets? Self-love. She tells Vogue that she always makes herself feel good. “Give yourself a little look,” she says. “Tell yourself ‘you’re fantastic,’ and then you’re ready to roll.” "Winnowing out and focusing on the positive aspects of a situation are key factors in acquiring resilience—the ability to bounce back from bad times—that will help you weather the losses that may occur in the years ahead," says Harvard Health.

3. She Circuit Trains

Ora talked about her diet and fitness secrets to Shape. She says that she does a lot of circuit training to stay in shape. “I do three circuits and repeat that three times.

With a regular strength training program, you can reduce your body fat, increase bone strength, increase your lean muscle mass and burn calories more efficiently," says the Mayo Clinic.

4. She Doesn’t Beat Herself Up

Ora’s secret to staying consistent with fitness? Going easy on herself. She tells Shape that she doesn’t push herself too hard anymore. “What I've learned is that you can take your time with training. You don't have to beat yourself up as long as you get in the workouts that you need. I used to push myself until I felt sick. But I'm approaching it differently now. I enjoy working out. And I like the aftermath-that feeling of contentment."

5. She Eats Healthy

Ora revealed her go-to meals to Shape. She says that she makes sure to eat healthy. “In the morning, I have two boiled eggs, asparagus, and half a cup of muesli with almond milk. For lunch, I have chicken or fish with vegetables, and for dinner, I have six to eight ounces of fish with vegetables and half a potato.”

Rita Ora, the British singer-songwriter, lives the glam life, performing at concerts and going to awards shows and movie premieres—and recently, she looked happy lazing in the sun in a swimsuit. “Thank you so much @etchrealestate for looking after me in Sydney and making me feel so at home!!! 💕❤️😊 #ambassador #etchbrandambassador #etchrealestate #sydney #topagent,” she captioned a new swimsuit pic.

2. She Takes Vitamin C

Ora told The Strategist that she takes Altrient C Liposomal Vitamin C. "They don’t taste too good, but I take these every day.

She once told Cosmo: "I watch what I eat but I just cut my portions in half. So if I want a burger I'll just cut it in half and eat half of it. That or I'll take the bread off and only eat the burger. Or if I want fries then I won't have a burger to go with them."

5. She Does Circuit Training

She uses Aesop shampoo. "My hair gets damaged from all the styling done to it, so I try my hardest to protect it. I don’t really like using anything for the hair with any sort of chemical ingredients, because they’re really not good for it. After I fell in love with Aesop’s body wash and hand wash, I was like, 'Well, they must have good shampoo.' It makes my hair smell nice and feel silky. I have naturally curly hair, so I need something that really feeds it. This is a good product for that," she told The Strategist.

7. She Loves Hot Sauce

"I love hot sauce," she told The Strategist, mentioning Econa by name. "To be honest, I can’t eat anything without it, so I’ve tasted a lot of hot sauces and this one has never failed me. It’s not crazy thick and it just goes with everything. You don’t want a sauce that overtakes the taste of food and this one doesn’t do that."

Rita Ora, the singer and TV personality, has never been afraid to show off her bubbly personality. Fittingly, Ora just posted another fun pic yesterday, of herself in a Los Angeles recording studio, while in a bathing suit. She captioned the post, “Happy Saturday.” How does she stay so fit?
