Southern Charm star Naomie Olindo enjoyed what looked like the most fun staycation at the Beverly Hills Hotel in Los Angeles over the summer. Olindo shared a reel of herself lounging by the hotel pool in a bikini, sipping on a cocktail with pal Jordan Harper while riffing on a scene from The Office. "Not even THE @jordanharper_np can manage me!" she humorously captioned the post.
Olindo credits intermittent fasting with "melting" the fat off her body. "I just adjust to whatever my lifestyle is at the time," she says. "If I'm traveling a lot, I try to curb sweets and bad food because I know I'm going to be drinking. It's just a balance. I don't really restrict anything. I try to eat intuitively. I don't always succeed. No one does. Naturally, I'm a big binge eater. When I'm doing well, when I feel like I'm healthy, I do intermittent fasting. You break your fast with a Blender Bomb smoothie. I'm a big snacker, so I just kind of graze. I graze throughout the day and then I'll eat a bigger dinner and try to stop eating around 8 or 9 p.m."
Olindo makes herself work out even when she doesn't feel motivated. "I am just not a naturally athletic person," she says. "I don't like working out. I like hot pockets… BUT I make myself workout 3-5 times a week. Like really force myself. The only workout I do is @hylofitness in Charleston. The coaches push me and I need to be pushed."
Olindo graduated from school in 2018, and is happy to have a back up in business. "I was in an MBA program with a focus in finance," she said. "I graduated from that in July. I just started with a partner, a new business. I'm actually in the office with her right now, so we're working on that and hoping to launch in the middle of May. I don't want to give anymore details about that because if there's one thing I've learned from Landon, it was not to talk about what you're doing until you've accomplished it."
Olindo is open about cosmetic procedures. "I've never understood why it's so taboo to talk about work that you're doing. I got a ton of kickback when I did my nose a few years ago," she says. "People were like, 'Oh, my God, you shouldn't have done that.' I'm like, 'Guys, I didn't do it for you.' I did it because when I looked in the mirror, I saw something that I didn't like. If I have the resources to change it, why wouldn't I? It's not your issue."
Olindo thinks it's unrealistic for women to look like Jennifer Lopez without getting plenty of help. "I'm so happy for J. Lo.," she says. "What I have a problem with is normal women are looking at that like, 'I'm not aging well because look at J. Lo, she doesn't do anything. She's using olive oil and I am not, and I don't look like that. What is wrong with me?' Unless you have the best team of the best everything, you're not going to [look like Jennifer]."

Ashley Park is sizzling in Spain – in her swimsuit. In a new social media post the Emily in Paris and Only Murders in the Building star flaunts her incredible body in a bathing suit at a bachelorette party in Barcelona. "When your only sibling is marrying the man of her dreams and wants a bachelorette party in Barcelona, YOU DO A BARCELONA BACHELORETTE… aperol spritz-themed, homemade paella-filled, with all her awesome friends," she captioned the Instagram post.
"I'm a huge skin care person now, and I love FaceGym [a facial exercise studio and line of skin-care products]," Ashley revealed to Shape. "I have a face massager from them. The face is full of muscles and we never think to work them out. So, now I use a gua sha tool to massage them. It makes your face feel so much more relaxed."
"I have to move every day," Park told Shape. "That can be hard with my filming schedule, so I've learned that to stay motivated, I have to adjust what type of physical activity can fit into my life at any given moment."
Park keeps exercise exciting by rotating workouts. "I've done everything — I had a big yoga phase, a big cycling phase, a big running phase," she lists. "And I've always loved dancing," she told Shape.
Park recently started doing pilates. "It feels very athletic, but it's low impact," she told Shape. "I sweat a ton and feel much stronger when I am done with it. Similar to dance, you use a lot of different muscles and there's a real mind-body connection that happens with it." Why is pilates a good workout? According to the Mayo Clinic there are lots of benefits to the workout, as it "strengthens the body's inner core while increasing its flexibility resulting in improved overall health. It can also promote longer, leaner muscles, injury prevention, relief from stress and back pain, enhanced athletic performance, and heightened mind-body awareness.
Park, who was diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia, a type of cancer of the blood and bone marrow, at the age of 15, generally maintains a plant-based diet. "I am highly anemic because of what I went through with my cancer," she told Shape. "So, I do like a nice steak every once in a while." As for dairy and gluten, it all depends on where she's eating these foods. "When I'm in America, those things don't sit that well with me," she says. "But, for some reason, when I am in Europe, I can eat an entire bread basket and so much cheese, and it's fine."

Moraya Wilson is heating up Vietnam in her swimsuit. In a new social media post Miss Universe Australia flaunts her amazingly fit figure in a tiny bathing suit while modeling in Asia. "Aussie beaches are always my favourite… but shooting this in Vietnam is a close second," she captioned the series of Instagram snaps. "So unbelievably hot," commented one of her followers. "Obsessed," added another, while several commented with fire emojis.
Moraya has a "sporting background," she told GC Mag. "I competed for 8 years internationally as a downhill ski racer, I spent the majority of my adolescence training and racing as both a ski racer." Research has linked downhill skiing to a number of health benefits. In addition to promoting physical fitness, it may decrease risk of cardiovascular and metabolic diseases. Studies have also found that the more frequently a person skis, prevalence of known hypercholesterolemia, systemic hypertension, diabetes, the frequency of mental stress and the occurrence of memory deficits declines.
She was also a track athlete, and still spends a lot of time running. 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.
Moraya loves to cycle. "2 birds 1 stone with exercising at work," she joked in this caption. The Cleveland Clinic explains that biking, a low-impact aerobic exercise, is great for building muscle, improving strength and flexibility, and improving balance. It can also boost mental health and help other health conditions, including arthritis.
Moraya does weight and strength training workouts. She uses light weights, medicine balls, and kettlebells. She shared "little snippets" from her workout recently. 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.
Moraya understands the importance of hydration. "Drink your water," she captioned this post. According to the Mayo Clinic, hydration is important for a variety of reasons. Water helps get rid of waste through urination, perspiration, and bowel movements, keeps your temperature normal, lubricates and cushions joints, and helps protect sensitive tissues.
Moraya indulges in self-care when she gets a break. "My most ideal way to spend a day off, is ticking off my errands for the week, going to the gym, and then relaxing with my family, cooking, eating and playing cards," she said.

Summer may be over, but Alessandra is staying hot in Spain – in her swimsuit. In a new social media post the Brazilian supermodel sizzles in her bathing suit while vacationing in Ibiza. "Hola October," she captioned the series of Instagram snaps.
Alessandra looks at social media as self-care. "For me, I have to use social media as entertainment in a way," she told StyleCaster. "I try to focus on the good parts, especially people helping and embracing certain causes. It should be fun."
Alessandra loves relaxing with a massage, especially when she is traveling. "Depending on where I am, I like going to the spa to get a massage too. [Self-care is] definitely on the go," she told the publication.
"When I travel, I'll do a mask on the plane. My friend Mimi Luzon has this great anti-wrinkle mask that you can put on and leave all night. Or if you're on a plane, you can also wear it because it's see-through, so no one can see it," she says.
"I love aromatherapy too. Essential oils always inspire me and put me in a good mood. I love lavender, peppermint and lemongrass," says the model.
Alessandra gets her zen on. "I love meditations and yoga. I like doing ashtanga yoga, but it depends on how much time I have during the day. I'll do maybe 50 minutes, but I really love going to classes where I can do an hour and a half," she said. There is a laundry list of reasons to do yoga, explains Harvard Health. "Researchers found that people who practiced yoga for at least 30 minutes once a week for at least four years, gained less weight during middle adulthood," they said. "People who were overweight actually lost weight. Overall, those who practiced yoga had lower body mass indexes (BMIs) compared with those who did not practice yoga. Researchers attributed this to mindfulness. Mindful eating can lead to a more positive relationship with food and eating."
You can also find Alessandra relaxing in a hot bathtub. How can baths do your body and mind good? They have been linked to better sleep and even found helpful to minimize anxiety and depression. One recent study even found that they may even boast cardiovascular benefits.

Lauren Louise Davey is bidding adieu to her European summer in her swimsuit. In a recent social media post the stunning British athlete shows off her amazing body in a bathing suit while enjoying time at the lake in Sweden. "A Swede end to Euro Summer and off Season ???? // always grateful," she captioned the Instagram post.
As a heptathlete, Lauryn competes in seven different sports. One of the basic ways Lauryn trains is by running. 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.
One of the ways Lauryn recovers from heavy training is by soaking in hot water. "Off SZN," she captioned a photo of herself indulging in a little heat therapy. Hot tubs boast similar benefits as baths, which have been linked to better sleep and even found helpful to minimize anxiety and depression. One recent study even found that they may even boast cardiovascular benefits.
Lauryn spends a lot of time strength and weight training. 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.
Lauryn loves to cycle, a low-impact aerobic exercise that is great for building muscle, improving strength and flexibility, and improving balance, explains Cleveland Clinic. It can also boost mental health and help other health conditions, including arthritis.
Lauryn also enjoys paddleboarding. "It's not as easy as it looks," she captioned a post. The American Council on Exercise (ACE) agrees that paddle boarding is great for the core and also a great form of cardio. The water sport can burn an average of 385 calories for a 140 pound male and 436 for a female the same size, per a study conducted by Arizona State University.
Lauryn, who spends a lot of time at the lake, loves to swim, a good way to get regular aerobic physical activity, according to the CDC. 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, there are multiple studies supporting the mental health benefits of swimming as well.

Actress Samara Weaving is enjoying time in Paris. She is checking out the Valentino showroom on her trip. Weaving shared a stunning new set of photos on Instagram this week. In them, she wore a black swimsuit top and pants, her abs on display. Weaving captioned the post, "These are a few of my favorite things."
Weaving has amazing skin, and she makes sure to take care of it. She shared her favorite products and tips with Byrdie. "I like a scrub," Weaving says. "So I'll use a Nivea ($7) one or something a bit more natural. I like to think it helps clean out my pores, especially if I've got makeup on or I've been traveling and sleeping in different hotel rooms and flying."
Weaving tells Byrdie that keeping her skin hydrated is important to her. "I've got really dry skin, and La Prairie's Skin Caviar Cream ($530) really helps with keeping up hydration levels all day. I don't ever have to reapply it. I've got like a little ModelCo rosehip face mist that tones and makes my skin all firm and dewy."
Weaving tells Marie Claire that her scoliosis diagnosis made her change her workout routine. "I used to run a lot, I would run five to 10 miles a day, and I miss that a lot. It was sort of just trying to figure out how I could get the same endorphins. Running you can really take your mind off everything. It was almost like meditation. I wanted to find something similar that wouldn't put so much pressure on my back. I found a really great yoga place, I mean it's LA, so every second shop has some yoga thing. So I'm lucky in that sense."
Weaving tells Marie Claire that she doesn't like to schedule what she eats ahead of time. "As cliché as it sounds, you've got to listen to your body. If I go for three days of just having fruit and vegetables, I'll make a salad and a rice bowl for dinner and have lighter meals. The next three days I'll have pasta and more carbs and eggs benedict for breakfast. I listen to my body and what am I really craving? As soon as you go, 'I'm going to diet for two weeks,' what you're craving is what you set out not to have."
Weaving makes sure to take care of her skin and hair when she travels. She shared her tips with Byrdie. "I tend to take a travel-size raw coconut oil with me on the plane and dab it under my eyes and on my lips and forehead every three hours or so. Normally I stay away from oils because they make me break out, but because it's so dry on a plane it just seems to work. I put it on the ends of my hair as well to prevent breakage."

Vick Hope is returning to Instagram as Mrs. Calvin Harris in her swimsuit. In a new social media post, the radio host shows off her gorgeous body in a bathing suit while making a post-wedding splash. "ahhhh, right then, hello again instagram," she captioned the series of Instagram snaps. "Gorgeous," commented one. "Big congratulations to you both ?Hope it was the wedding of your dreams from start to finish and that you both have the most perfect honeymoon," added another.
Vick is big on self-care, maintaining that it helps with her mental health. "I've learned that there are so many small things we can do that make a huge difference to our mental wellbeing," she told Women's Health.
"The sunshine is such a mood booster for me, so I really notice when the weather turns," she told WH. "For this reason, I have a Lumie lamp, instead of an alarm clock, that gradually lights up – it helps me feel more energetic and happier when I wake up." She also spends time outdoors, "Because, working in dark studios without windows, I can easily not see daylight for hours."
Vick understands the importance of fitness. "I love going for a run in nature or doing classes – whether that's Pilates it dance. Anything where I'm in a group situation – because being around others uplifts me and brings out my competitive side," she told WH. "It's so easy at this time of year, when it gets colder and darker, to hibernate and skip the gym – but the feel-good endorphins exercise brings have such a positive impact on mental health. I don't train to get in shape or lose weight, but for my mind."
Vick drinks a lot of water. "I can really tell the difference in my energy levels if I haven't drunk enough water that day, so carrying a refillable water bottle with me at all times is essential," she told Your Healthy Living. According to the Mayo Clinic, hydration is important for a variety of reasons. Water helps get rid of waste through urination, perspiration, and bowel movements, keeps your temperature normal, lubricates and cushions joints, and helps protect sensitive tissues.
Vick eats her first meal at 8am. "I usually have an egg white omelette with spinach, fresh tomatoes, sometimes some avocado and some fruit. Lunch is always a fairly elastic concept: some days it's a sandwich or salad on the go, others it's a full spread of finger food if I'm on a shoot. If I'm at home I'll often prepare myself a bowl of soup. If I'm feeling super organised that week, I'll make a pan of veggie, lentil or chicken soup to last the week. In the evenings, a typical dinner often consists of fish or prawns with green vegetables or salad, and noodles or cous cous. Stir fries are a pretty common dinner for me as they're quick and easy to make delicious – not a lot can go wrong!" she told Your Healthy Living.

Hallmark star Alicia Witt spent the last days of summer getting out on the water with a friend and soaking up the sun in Nashville. Witt, 48, shared a picture of herself paddleboarding in a floral swimsuit on beautiful Percy Priest Lake. "A few-weeks-latergram … savoring the last few days of summer nonetheless.
Highly recommend paddleboarding with a beloved best friend to center, to recalibrate, to reconnect to your breath and your being ✨ @elizaann360," she captioned the post.
Witt is passionate about following a plant-based diet, and wrote her book Small Changes to help those working towards a healthier lifestyle. "My greatest prayer for this would be that it could reach — specifically — the people out there who definitely do not want to be vegan, who have no intention of giving up the meat and dairy and other things that they enjoy," she says. "But I believe through my own experiences that these things do not have to be all or nothing. And I would wish to help shift the notion that it does or that plant-based people lecture and judge and try to change everyone around them to eat exactly as they do."
Witt's book also focuses on how exercise benefits mental health as well as physical. "I also want to impart the importance of daily exercise, even if it's only a tiny bit each day," she says. "That, too, doesn't need to be all or nothing. Meditation and mindfulness too. You don't need 20 minutes twice a day to make a very big difference. This is meant to be a guide, not a manifesto: Readers can take what resonates for them and create their own plan off of it. And I also include lots of my own unusual story in here so that hopefully it can help inspire and entertain too."
Witt says she was asked to lose weight since she was a teenager, and now refuses to keep scales in her house. "I only hear how much I weigh when I go for my annual physical goal," she says. "And I put that out of my head right away because I just don't care. I know when I feel healthy. And I know if I overdo it one day, I'm not going to beat myself up about it."
Witt's relationship with food changed once she stopped trying to follow restrictive diets. "As someone who hasn't always had a healthy or balanced relationship with food, I found that rules didn't work for me," she says. "They only made me want to break them. Once I stopped beating myself up or imposing restrictions, I found that my weight, my cravings, and my appearance (as well as my inner peace) all improved drastically. And I think this philosophy I've experienced can help others to find the same sort of ease around food and body image too."

Heather Graham is enjoying Europe – in her swimsuit. In a new social media post the Boogie Nights star shows off her amazing body at 53 in a swimsuit while vacationing on the Amalfi Coast. "Italian Getaway," she captioned the series of Instagram snaps. "Hi roller girl," commented a follower, giving a nod to her hit 1997 film. "Gorgeous," added another.
Heather avoids refined carbohydrates and keeps other carbs to a minimum "I've become one of those annoying people who's like, 'I'm not gonna eat white flour and I'm not gonna eat sugar.' I do eat sugar sometimes, but as a broad rule, I try to just eat no sugar basically, and I have to say I feel a lot better. And I will sometimes eat things with white flour, but I try to avoid white flour," she dished to Refinery29.
Yoga and pilates are Heather's go-to workouts. She told Refinery29 that she does yoga three times a week, and sometimes for multiple hours per day. "I'm obsessed with yoga. For fun, I would go on a yoga retreat and do four hours of yoga a day," she explained. "Grateful to be in a beach doing yoga with @ninabergman," she captioned a recent Instagram post. She added to the publication that she is a fan of pilates.
Another way Heather gets exercise is by cycling. "Rocky Mountain High," she captioned a photo of herself taking a fall bike ride in Aspen. The Cleveland Clinic explains that biking, a low-impact aerobic exercise, is great for building muscle, improving strength and flexibility, and improving balance. It can also boost mental health and help other health conditions, including arthritis.
Heather has one (not-so) guilty pleasure. "I love sleeping," she told The Guardian. "When I tell people how much I sleep sometimes, they are horrified. I basically sleep between nine and 12 hours a night." What are the health benefits of sleep? According to the Sleep Foundation, getting enough z's is a mood booster, promotes heart health, regulates blood sugar, improves mental function, restores your immune system, helps relieve stress, and aids in weight loss.
Graham revealed to The Independent that she lives a sober lifestyle. "Recently, I've stopped drinking," she said. "I'm kind of goofy enough to have fun without drinking. So by the time everyone gets relaxed, I'm like, 'OK, I was already there two hours ago.'"
Heather is "kinda high-strung, so it's easy to get anxious," she Today, which is why she loves transcendental meditation. "TM calms you down. It helps you find that peaceful place inside yourself – so whenever your life is going a bit crazy, it reminds you how to be really centered." "When you meditate, you may clear away the information overload that builds up every day and contributes to your stress," says the Mayo Clinic. Benefits include:
"Gaining a new perspective on stressful situations
Building skills to manage your stress
Increasing self-awareness
Focusing on the present
Reducing negative emotions
Increasing imagination and creativity
Increasing patience and tolerance
Lowering resting heart rate
Lowering resting blood pressure
Improving sleep quality"

Daisy Kelliher is heating up the tropics in her swimsuit. In a new social media post the Below Deck star flaunts her amazing body in a bathing suit. "Coming up to Caribbean season," she captioned the series of Instagram snaps. "You make the Caribbean Paradise," one of her followers commented. "You are a complete babe," added another.
In an Instagram video Daisy reveals that she reads books. Why should you pick up a book? One Harvard study published in Social Science & Medicine found that people who read books regularly had a 20% lower risk of dying over the next 12 years compared with people who weren't readers or who read periodicals.
"Is coffee and suncream part of your morning routine??" Daisy asked her followers. While everyone knows why it is important to lather up in SPF, there are also several benefits of drinking coffee, explains the Cleveland Clinic. "It acts on your brain to improve memory, mood, reaction times, and mental function," they say, citing a study finding that caffeine can improve endurance and performance during exercise. It is also antioxidant-rich, can ward off diabetes, prevent neurologic disease, lower cancer risk, and ward off depression, they point out.
Daisy is a fan of walking, especially when she is on vacationing and exploring new places. Going for a daily walk can be a game changer in terms of exercise, 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 led to a reduced risk of heart disease, cancer, dementia and death, compared with walking a similar number of steps but at a slower pace.
Daisy also hikes. "Our hike up mount errigal. Took 3 hours in total moderate level- really good path. Can't believe how lucky we got with the weather was pretty much first day of spring. Just the most incredible views of Donegal. Some of lord of the rings was filmed here #donegal #mterrigal #hike #spring #girlsweekend #travel #spring," she captioned a post. According to the National Parks Service, the physical benefits of hiking include:
Building stronger muscles and bones
Improving your sense of balance
Improving your heart health
Decreasing the risk of certain respiratory problems
Daisy is "obsessed" with Orange Theory, she revealed in a post. "It's perfect for me going from USA and London and the app makes it so easy for me to work out while I'm traveling. I love the environment and the welcoming space." 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.
