Joy shared some of her wellness secrets in an interview with Tatler. She says that she lives her life efficiently. “I don’t have time to be a 25-year-old with a hangover. But I’m not someone who needs a drink to dance. Basically I’ve become very efficient at everything. I’m like ‘What do I need out of this situation?”

2. She Dances

Joy loves to dance to stay in shape. She said to Tatler, “I need to dance for a couple of hours, see my friends and have a good time’, so I’m like ‘Right, let’s bang it out.’ Then it’s: go home, have a bath, get up for work. I sound mental, but that’s what’s working for me right now.”

3. She Cleanses Her Skin

Joy has amazing skin, and she makes sure to take care of it. She shared her favorite products with Harper’s Bazaar. Joy makes sure to cleanse her skin. “My favourite cleanser to use is the gentle Chanel Sublimage Essential Comfort Cleanser. It’s just so comforting, like you’re giving yourself a massage when you use it, and when you wash it off it feels like it’s moisturised your skin.”

4. She Makes Face Masks

Joy likes to make her own facial masks. She shared her recipe with Harper’s Bazaar. “I also make a really cheap, easy mask that really works. It’s Bio-Oil combined with Egyptian Magic cream, I coat it on my skin before bed. Your skin looks so much better the next day, it literally feels like you’ve had 14 hours of sleep. Something else I’ve recently got into because it makes my skin look good–but also because I love the shock value of it–is wearing sheet masks on flights. It scares people, but they then leave you alone! I use the 111Skin Rose Gold Brightening Facial Treatment Mask – it’s so, so good. I’m quite an impatient person so the fact it dries on your skin telling you to take it off, is helpful."

5. She Wears SPF

Joy tells Harper’s Bazaar that she makes sure to wear an SPF. "I was a very big tom boy growing up before the acting, so the fashion and beauty has been a bit of a crash course, but I am learning. There’s a SkinCeuticals SPF50 which is fab because it’s really lightweight. As somebody that doesn’t wear foundation, I like the feeling of natural bare skin – so I don’t want to cake on the sunscreen, but the SkinCeuticals one is really light and sheer, but I know that it’s protecting my face."

6. She Takes Care Of Her Hair

In her Harper’s Bazaar interview, Joy revealed how she takes care of her hair. "I am the biggest believer in leave-in conditioner and serums. Karine Jackson who does my hair has a really nice vegan serum which is nice and light, but protective. David Mallet has one too, which is fab, and I like to work that into wet hair because it dries really nicely without having to use a hairdryer. Philip Kingsley’s Elasticizer mask is heaven. It really, really works.”

7. She Doesn’t Pressure Herself

Joy doesn’t like to pressure herself to do things. “We put a lot of pressure on ourselves to be calm, but I think you just need to accept where you are at this moment in time and be generous with yourself,” she said in an interview with Vogue. “I think that’s definitely easier said than done. People are quite disconnected from their bodies. They think about the thinking mind and the body as two separate entities. I think it is important to honour your body and be grateful that you have a body, as it allows you to experience this world, which is where self-care came in for me. I’m so grateful for my feet because they allow me to walk through all of these spaces, and grateful for my eyes as they allow me to see. Rather than thinking about the ways in which your body is (in your mind) deficient, think about the way that your body allows you to be in this crazy world, and be grateful for it.”

Gabby Barrett has become one of country music’s hottest singers. Her career began in 2018, when she appeared on the first season of ABC’s American Idol revival.

1. She Has Faith

Barrett has strong faith, and she opened up about this in an interview with Niagara Falls Publications. “Well, anybody that’s a fan of myself and my husband, they would know that we're very faith-based people; that we love the Lord Jesus very much. And we do really base our life around the Bible. And so, we are big followers of Christ, and really do what we do to glorify God and the gifts that he's given us. I think he's gifted me with a voice. And I think he's gifted my husband in other ways, which is why we do music together.”

2. She Works Hard

Barrett has been working hard since she was young. She revealed to Niagara Falls Publications that her parents helped her develop this attitude. “I'm originally from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and I have two very hard-working parents who have always had multiple jobs my entire life. So, I think my parents definitely instilled a hard-working characteristic in myself, as well, and I don't take things for granted. And I know that people would die to be doing what I do, and be able to do this job.”

3. She Ate Healthy

After having her first child, Barrett revealed in an interview that she started eating healthier. “I don’t know, I guess being a mom…I really haven’t gotten the chance to, like, eat all the junk food that I was eating,” she says. “So I guess it really just cut [the weight] out in my face and all around the place! I thankfully was able to kind of like shed some weight quickly and get off all the baby weight and I feel good. I dunno, I’m thankful for that — that my body kinda was able to snap back and be healthier than it was before, even after having a baby, and quickly, after that. So I can thank, I guess, my 21-year-old metabolism for that!”

Wright opened up about her weight loss and getting healthier to Soap Opera Digest in 2016. She says that she got in touch with a fitness coach. “For six months, I’d feel better and then get sick again. I was still really struggling with the end of my marriage [to John Wright, her spouse of 21 years] — feeling better about it, but probably not really dealing with it. And I thought, ‘I have to do something.’ There was a girl I’d seen a lot on my friends’ [social media] pages, a Beach body coach. I reached out to her and said, ‘I need to make a major change in my life.’”

2. She Kept Herself Accountable

In her Soap Opera Digest interview, Wright revealed that her coach had her post workout photos on Facebook each day. She says that this helped her stick with the workouts and motivate her. “My coach had me showing up to a Facebook page to post after-workout pictures and that accountability really got into my head,” she explains. “The workout is only 30 minutes a day and no matter how late I worked, I worked out. If I got home at 8:30 or 9 at night, I worked out and posted that picture. If I had to be at work at 6:30, I was up at 5 doing my workout and posting. I was like, ‘This really works!’ Then I thought, ‘Every workout works. So why did this click in differently for my brain?’ And it was the coaching page, the community.”

3. She’s Positive

Wright is all about having a positive mindset, as she thinks this helps get her through rough times. She shared her mantra in an interview with FBJ Fit. “Whenever I am facing anything challenging, I tell myself, ‘I can handle this. I got it!’ I passionately believe that you are what you say you are. If you say you feel tired and terrible all the time, then that is your reality. Being grateful, and taking responsibility for your thoughts and actions, gives you the power to create the life you want. Much like the character of Carly, I really try to tune into and trust my instincts!”

4. Wright Has Found Acceptance in Herself

Wright has found acceptance in herself, and talked about this on Instagram. “This 23-year-old was ashamed of her body and thought if she could lose 10 more pounds she would be perfect and worthy of love,” Wright wrote in the caption. “She wasn’t focused on the things she loved, just on being skinny enough to be loved. Every day, all day long, these were my thoughts. 30 years later I’m finally discovering how beautiful life is. How grateful I am for a body that has been with me and taking care of me for 51 years. And how much fun life can be when you decide to live! Not sure why I decided to share this today. I just got this picture last night and wanted to hug this young girl and tell her how amazing she is.”

Grande has a busy schedule. However, she always makes time to relax. She shared her favorite ways to unwind with Vogue. “I love meditation, taking a long bath and doing my skincare.

I love skincare so much. I’m really fascinated by coolness in skincare. I love our new Undereye Balm so much for that reason – it’s cold, refreshing and energising. I love to put it in the fridge along with my face roller – it’s calming.”

"Ariana loves, soups, smoothies, and salads, which are all great foods for anyone who is short on time."

6. She Has A Sustainable Plan

For Grande, her wellness routine has to be sustainable. "She's not about going to any extremes," Pasternaak revealed to Shape Magazine. "She isn't worried about doing anything that's not sustainable. As long as she moves every day, eats well, and does some strength training, she's of the mindset that the rest will take care of itself."

7. She Works Out On Her Own

While Grande does workout sessions with Pasternaak, she also exercises when she’s on her own. "Other times I'll give her exercises to do at home on her own," Pasternaak told Shape Magazine. "She also hits her steps every day and has done a really great job of finding balance and moderation when it comes to staying in shape."
