A new era

“Each of these products is anchored in my personal routine,” she said in a statement. “When using these formulas, I want people to feel hydrated, radiant, and glowy. But mostly I want people to feel like themselves. I want you to be able to use these products and remember who you are.”
“There is an inner radiance and the self-love that is embodied in caring for ourselves,” she added. “And for me, that extends beyond just hair. People talk about the skin-ification of hair – I’m talking about the hair-ification of skin.”
Bikini body

As for how she maintains it, the A-lister revealed that she is a huge fan of the Gyrotonic Method of working out, which utilizes special equipment to increase range of motion and improve strength.
She also loves to use equipment like weights, kettlebells and ropes, and works out in a hot room to burn more calories.

“I do an earlier lunch with hard-boiled eggs and quinoa. Maybe I’ll also sauté some vegetables to go with that, or do a Happy Egg Sandwich from the farmers’ market. Basically, it’s the time when I want a nice scramble on toast with butter.”
She continued: “Early dinner, around 6 p.m., is when I do salads with protein, such as sliced turkey, chicken, or crushed Brazil nuts if I’m tired of meat. Then I’ll broil something – salmon, steak, chicken, maybe some vegetables. And I’ll usually snack on something in front of the TV.”
