The Extraction 2 star Olga Kurylenko spent plenty of time getting rest and relaxation over the summer (and it’s well-earned). Kurylenko, who plays Mia in the action thriller, shared a picture of herself posing in a purple bikini, looking serene with no makeup and her hair pulled back. “Last days of summer, then back to work 🙏🙌💪 Who is enjoying their holidays? 🌞”, she captioned the post. Kurylenko has been working since she was a teenager—here are some life rules she lives by, and what she wants to do next.

1. Modeling Background


Kurylenko started her career as a model. “I started when I was 16 and I think I did just over 10 years’ modeling,” she says. “I started in Russia – that was ’95 – and then I wanted to take it to a different level because in those days they just didn’t have the international fashion magazines. Elle didn’t exist, Marie Claire didn’t exist. So I moved to Paris to continue modeling. I did my first film in 2004 [The Ring Finger] and after that I modeled for another year and a half, because by the time it came out, I didn’t know how people were going to react or if it would take off. But once it did take off, I didn’t need to model any more.”

2. Standards of Beauty

Kurylenko worked in France before Hollywood, and says the European standard for beauty is different. “In France, actresses can be beautiful, but they look more like normal people,” she says. “They’re not an ‘ideal’ beauty; they’re just very ‘real’. And if you’re too beautiful, they do have a problem with that. In the beginning everyone knew I was a model, so in France I did have a bit of difficulty. I did get some answers, like: ‘You can’t do this – you’re too beautiful. We need a normal person.’ And I was like: ‘I am a normal person!’ In America they wouldn’t really say that, because it’s normal to be beautiful. In the UK, I think it might be between the two, I guess. It’s Europe but it’s also like America.”

3. Feminist Values

Purple,Hand,Of,A,Woman,For,International,Women's,Day,AndShutterstock

Kurylenko is a proud feminist. “In Russia – and I mean any ex-USSR country – there’s this belief a woman cannot ever achieve anything or make her own money unless she goes with a rich man,” she says. “It always made me so angry, so I decided to prove them wrong. I will make my own money, not depending on anybody. I wasn’t married to anyone influential or even anyone who earned money.”

4. Peppa Pig

Kurylenko wants to move into more family-friendly features. “Well, my son always says, ‘Mummy, can I watch your movies?’ but unfortunately they have far too much blood and violence in them, so I’d like to do some kiddie movies next, something that Alexander can watch,” she says. “I’d like to play a witch or a princess in a fairytale, or get a role in Peppa Pig!”

5. Advice For Young Actors

Kurylenko’s advice for young actors is to take control of their lives and their work as much as possible. “Nobody helped me. I didn’t ask anyone for their help,” she says. “I didn’t have any influential friends; in every country I went, I didn’t know anybody. And whatever offers came, I often said: ‘No.’ And here I am. I don’t know if it’s strength of character or what… I would say to the girl: ‘Don’t go and do just anything that anyone asks you to do. Whatever they promise… it’s all a lie.’ Because whatever people say, they’re not gonna do it; it’s just a trick. It’s pretty common sense, though. I don’t know how anybody could believe that they’re gonna get anything that way. I guess some people do get what they want, but they’re going to have to live with themselves and look at themselves in the mirror in the morning. Maybe they can do it… I can’t.”

"It took about a year after stem cell for the inflammation and lesions to really go down." She certainly looked more at peace this weekend. “A week of health and healing in a golden place,” she captioned a photo from Golden Door, a spa/retreat.

2. Gabrielle Union Knows How to Vacation Like No Other

Gabrielle Union—a “Lover of fun, hope haver & believer of miracles”—and her husband Dwyane Wade have been posting photos from the Yacht Club De Monaco, the Anjuna Beach Club, Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat and Calvi Corsica, with her often looking fit and fab in a bikini. The hashtag? #WadeWorldTour2021

3. Vanessa Hudgens Lounged Poolside

"Happy weekendddd," Vanessa Hudgens captioned the photo on Instagram. We know it was after a week of working hard. The actress hits the Dogpound training gym often. "I'm always down to try something new. I just love getting my blood pumping and I feel like it's just such an important thing to constantly do. So I'm always down to try something new," she told Access Live. "I like tried and true with my soul cycle, Pilates and yoga.

Carmen Electra posted a video of herself dancing to “Coming in Hot.” “I don’t go to the gym every day,” she once told the Cut. “Usually when I’m on break, I’ve already danced a lot so I’m okay for a while. Sometimes I work out at my house. I’ll do some lunges, something simple like that. Otherwise I’ll go to the gym. I’ve only had one trainer in my life, and I realized that because of my dance background, I already have discipline and I don’t need to be pushed. I think I’ve saved a lot of money too. As a dancer, I’ve never put strict rules on my workout habits and sometimes I just want to go to the gym and do something light.”

5. Rita Ora Went Seaside

“Happy weekend. I’ll be seaside,” Rita Ora captioned an Instagram post. "For me, every day I wake up feeling like, 'OK, what do I want to conquer today?' and that helps me get dressed," Ora said to 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."

6. Saweetie Went “Off the Grid”

Saweetie went “off the grid,” posting snapshots from the beach. The trip came shortly after her big McDonalds collab. "I'm super excited. It's like the best feeling ever. I know McDonald's will never turn its back on me. I can always go to McDonald's and order a Saweetie Meal," Saweetie told Forbes the Culture. "I think McDonald's just saw that I genuinely love the meal. I'm always remixing their meals on my live. I only really go live when I eat. So, the fact that I'm here right now with these beautiful packages and cartons of Saweetie Meal behind me is like a dream come true. So, just a match made in heaven."

Irina Baeva, the model known for Vino el amor and Amor dividido, is getting some sun before the Latino Wall Street conference. “Meet me in Puerto Rico!,” she captioned one swimsuit photo. “Splash. Hahaha always the best experiences with @theyachtexperiences ❤,” she captioned another, of her on a yacht. How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Irina Baeva 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 Drinks Coffee

Irina shared an image of her pouring a foamy coffee. “Both regular and decaf coffee seem to have a protective effect on your liver. Research shows that coffee drinkers are more likely to have liver enzyme levels within a healthy range than people who don’t drink coffee,” reports Johns Hopkins. “Dark roast coffee decreases breakage in DNA strands, which occur naturally but can lead to cancer or tumors if not repaired by your cells.”

2. She Reads to Relax

Irina shared a photo of herself reading a book poolside. “Much needed,” she captioned it. (The title was Malibu Rising.) “Your brain is similar to a muscle — you need to use it or you lose it. There are many things that you can do to keep your brain in shape, such as doing crossword puzzles or Sudoku, reading, playing cards or putting together a jigsaw puzzle. Consider it cross-training your brain. So incorporate different activities to increase the effectiveness,” says the Mayo Clinic.

3. She Loves Beach Days

“Beach days,” Irina captioned one photo of her having fun in the sun. The beach has some major health benefits. “The sand will work to exfoliate skin, the salt water will detoxify pores once the sun opens them up, and the iodine in the water will destroy any bacteria in your skin that can cause blemishes. Just make sure to keep yourself protected from too much sun, by wearing sunscreen,” reports UNH. “Spending as little time as 10 minutes in the sun, you can absorb an entire day’s worth of vitamin D! The extra vitamin D you absorb throughout your day at the beach will be stored in your body to be used later.”

4. She Eats Sushi

“Opting for sushi with brown rice, a whole grain, is a health-conscious move,” says the Cleveland Clinic. “You’re going to get more health benefits from the fiber, from more B vitamins, magnesium, selenium and some other minerals,” ​​Dietitian Maxine Smith, RD, LD told the site, which adds: “In contrast, regular sushi rice contains added salt and vinegar and is starchier.” “That’s what helps pack it together,” Smith says. “It’s processed. Any grain that is more processed, where the outside bran part of the grain is removed, it’s going to be less healthy.”

5. She is Grateful

Weeks ago, she was “Celebrating ❤️‍🔥 29. I couldn't be happier and more grateful to life and the Universe for all the blessings ✨ thanks to everyone who made this day so beautiful and full of love ❤️ and to you my love @gabrielsoto, for surprising me, pampering me, loving me and making me feel special every day of my life.

Sophie Piper is embracing island life – in her swimsuit. In a new social media post, the Love Island beauty shows off her fantastic figure in a swimsuit during a tropical vacation at Kandima Maldives with Josh Ritchie. “Island life,” she captioned the series of Instagram snaps taken at the picturesque resort. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.

She Doesn't Go Under the Knife

Sophie claims she hasn’t gone under the knife. “It’s your own body, you can do what you want to,” she told Grazia, weighing in on the show’s reputation for girls getting work done. “I wouldn’t have surgery myself; I don’t want it. I’ve got such a low pain tolerance as well; I’d be squirming around.”

She Gets Her Steps In

Stand Up Paddle Boarding

Sophie loves paddle boarding. The American Council on Exercise (ACE) agrees that paddle boarding is great for the core and cardio. Water sports can burn an average of 385 calories for a 140-pound male and 436 calories for a female of the same size, per a study conducted by Arizona State University.

She Skis

When Sophie hits the mountains, she throws on a pair of skis. “Ski club,” she captioned a photo. Research has linked downhill skiing to several health benefits. In addition to promoting physical fitness, it may decrease the risk of cardiovascular and metabolic diseases. Studies have also found that the more frequently a person skis, the prevalence of known hypercholesterolemia, systemic hypertension, diabetes, the frequency of mental stress, and the occurrence of memory deficits decline.

She Loves Group Fitness

“You’ve got to be body confident,” Sophie told Grazia. One of her favorite sweat methods? Group fitness. “A few gym classes can’t hurt,” she said.

She Goes Snorkeling

On her recent Maldives vacation, Sophie and Josh snorkeled in the crystal clear water. Surprisingly, putting on a snorkel and fins and swimming through the water is a great workout. In addition to being a great aerobic exercise and burning calories, other health benefits may include improved cardiovascular function, stress reduction, mood enhancement, and muscular toning.

Tammy Hembrow is a fitness influencer and expert. She has her own app, called Tammy Fit. Hembrow has a lot of challenges on her app. Recently, she advertised a challenge with a workout video on Instagram. Hembrow captioned the post, “We are 3 days into our first @tammyfitapp challenge of the year & I am more motivated than everrrrr. (Sign ups are still open if you haven’t joined yet - there’s still time to catch up!! - link in bio). Soooo happy seeing so many of my girlies (and guys) in this challenge doing it with me!! And I CANNOT wait to see everyone’s results at the end of the 8 weeks. We got thissss 💪🏼”

She Does Pulldowns

Hembrow is seen doing pulldowns in her Instagram video. Piedmont reports that pulldowns have a lot of benefits. “The lat pulldown is a fantastic exercise for strengthening the latissimus dorsi muscle, the broadest muscle in your back. This muscle promotes good posture and spinal stability. Form is crucial when performing a lat pulldown to prevent injury and reap the best results.”

She Lifts Weights

Hembrow is seen doing a lot of exercises with weights in her Instagram video. ACE Fitness states that using weights to workout has a lot of benefits. “Strength training with heavy weights improves muscle definition. Muscle definition occurs as the result of muscles remaining in a state of semi-contraction and heavy strength training recruits the larger type II muscle fibers responsible for a muscle’s appearance.”

She Tracks Her Meals

Hembrow likes to track her meals on her app. She talked about the benefits of this in the caption of this “What I Eat In A Day” Instagram video. “Make sure to take advantage of the calorie/macro tracking features in the @tammyfitapp during this challenge guys. It can be really helpful in reaching specific goals quicker. And it also can help educate you on your food choices when it comes to nutrition, ratios, hidden calories, overeating or under eating etc. honestly I’d recommend any beginner try it out just to get a good feel for how you’re fuelling your body!! I feel like when people think of ‘meal tracking’ it can be seen as something that seems restrictive or something only bodybuilders do. When in reality it can be such a helpful tool and you can learn things that will actually encourage long term habits 🫶🏼🫶🏼”

She Loves Bananas

Tammy Hebrew has a banana snack.

Hembrow is seen enjoying bananas in her “What I Eat In A Day” Instagram video. The Cleveland Clinic states that bananas have a lot of benefits. “A single medium-sized banana offers about 32 mg of the mineral magnesium, which fulfills around 8% to 10% of your daily magnesium requirement. Magnesium is involved in many processes in your body, including: Blood pressure. Blood sugar levels. Building proteins. Maintaining bone. Muscle function. Nerve function.”

She Loves Cottage Cheese

Tammy Hebrew's snack the contains banana and cottage cheese.

Hembrow is seen enjoying her bananas with cottage cheese in the previous Instagram video. Cottage cheese is very healthy. UCLA Health reports, “Cottage cheese’s protein content and low calories make it an ideal food for weight management. Research shows that whether you are trying to lose weight or reduce your risk of overweight or obesity, eating a high-protein diet can help you feel full and satisfied for longer.”

It’s hard to believe that Jennifer Aniston is 55 and turning 56 in February! Since soaring to fame in 1994, the Friends star has hardly aged in the three decades that have passed – and she has never been secretive about her devotion to health and wellness. Her hard work over the years has paid off through her strong and lean body and ageless looks. Here is everything you need to know about Jennifer Aniston’s approach to longevity.

She Maintains a High Protein Diet

"My nutrition is very much the same. It's usually a lot of high protein, vegetables, salads, soups,” she tells People. “I do 80/20. I give myself days where I can have whatever I want. I don’t deprive myself,” she added to TODAY. Why should you consider amping up your protein intake? According to clinical trials, consuming more protein than the recommended dietary allowance not only reduces body weight (BW) but also enhances body composition by decreasing fat mass while preserving fat-free mass (FFM) in both low-calorie and standard-calorie diets.

She Cheats on Occasion

Jennifer allows herself to indulge in “everything I would possibly want on a weekend,” she told People. Her cheat meal “depends,” she says. “I mean, dare I sound repetitive, but Mexican food is a real favorite of mine. It's not even that much of a cheat, to be honest. Or a cheeseburger or pizza or pasta — all that stuff.”

“I’ve become gentler with myself,” she says of her approach to fitness, which has “definitely evolved” over the years. “I find that I can be gentler on my body and still get the benefits of a great workout,” she told Prevention. She specifically loves P.Volve workouts, a functional fitness that helps you “function throughout the day” and “work out your essential muscle groups to keep your body strong,” she says. “So you can live a long, healthy, strong life.”

Aniston prioritizes hydration, drinking a whopping 100 ounces of water per day. "But occasionally I just have to have a Diet Coke—there's nothing like it!" 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 Does Pilates, Spinning, Elliptical, and Running Workouts

“I had an injury last fall and I was only able to do Pilates, which I absolutely love. But I was missing that kind of sweat when you just go for it,” she recently told InStyle. “I'm going back to my 15-15-15, which is a 15-minute spin, elliptical, run. And then just old school: I can chase myself around a gym. I need some kind of movement, even if it's just 10 minutes a day on a trampoline.”
