Rebecca Romijn always seems to have a smile on her face, and in a new interview with Health Magazine, she reveals her secrets to a happy, healthy life. Sure, it probably doesn’t hurt that she’s beautiful and famous, but she does offer good tips that we can all benefit from!
Rebecca Romijn’s 6 Tips for a Happy Life:
Splurge a little
“I’m really not about deprivation. If I want a piece of pie, I mean, come on—you have to enjoy life! Especially if you have kids. I usually keep Sunday for whatever-you-want-to-eat day.”
Work out
“Especially cardio and yoga. It’s a big part of my recipe for happiness.”
Dance it off
“My mom used that as a tool to work herself out of a bad mood. I remember dancing around the house to ‘We Are Family.’ I’m introducing the girls to the Beatles and Stevie Wonder. We have a little disco ball in our living room; we love our dance parties.”
Live like you’re on vacation
“The Hotel Costes in Paris is the best-smelling hotel. So I just bought their candles. But I have to wait until Jerry is not in the house, because he has a fear of fire—anytime he sees a candle burning in our house, he blows it out! I’m always lighting them, and he’s always blowing them out.”
Park it in a sunny spot
“My dad, in his adorable Dutch accent, has always said, ‘Sometimes you just have to sit and stare at your belly button.’ I think it’s an important part of everybody’s day. Park it! It’s very calming. I do it in a sunny spot. And usually one or more of the two dogs and two cats wants to sit there with me!”
Don’t forget sex
“That’s all I’m gonna say!”
