OLIVIA CULPO
Olivia is a go-getter who wouldn’t be able to get ahead without a workout routine. She likes to push herself to work out in the evening after a long day.
“…Kayla Itsines’ workout app Sweat really kicks my ass. It’s so easy to do at home as you don’t need much equipment.” It can be tough to motivate yourself to work out and push yourself, but you need to if you want to deal with stress and help clear your mind. The best way to have an evening like Olivia would be to plan your workouts in advance. Build your own workout routine with the Fit Is The Sh*t planner, and start tracking your progress as you go.

CHRISELLE LIM
Chriselle is a busy woman, often jetting back and forth and working incredibly hard for various partnerships and her fashion line. Her evening rituals need to allow her to get a break and wind down. She told Porter magazine, “I foam-roll and stretch every night…it’s great for aching muscles and joints and easy to fit into your day; I do it in front of the television. I also meditate or read to wind down. Currently, I’m listening to the Affirmation Pod, a simple guided meditation podcast, and reading The Postnatal Depletion Cure by Dr. Oscar Serrallach, which teaches you to reclaim and rebuild your health and energy after giving birth.”
The perfect evening for Chriselle involves taking time for yourself. Foam-rolling, stretching, meditating and reading. You can plan the perfect evening ahead with the Getting Stuff Done planner and track all the time you’ve dedicated to yourself for self-care.

EVA LONGORIA
Eva has just recently given birth, and her evening rituals are important for her and her kids. She takes care of her skin every evening, “Before bed I have skin rituals, for sure…at night I’ll cleanse and put on some serum. I don’t think skin care needs to be that expensive—there are so many good products. I use L’Oréal RevitaLift serum at night, along with the line’s under-eye serum. It’s just amazing.”
Taking care of yourself and staying on track isn’t difficult you just need a really good plan for the day. You can use the Make It Happen notebook to start writing a journal, track how you feel, how much sleep you’ve got, the foods you eat and what you do in the evenings. You need to track the results of everything you do, even the skincare regime you do in the evenings, that way you’ll know what really works for you!

JENNIFER LOPEZ
One super important part of Jennifer Lopez’s evening routine is mindfulness. “20 minutes a day in the morning and at night. It was necessary. It was almost like my brain, for the first time in my life, felt like ‘Okay, you bit off more than you can chew,” she elaborated in an interview with People Magazine.
Taking some time to unwind and reflect in the evening to get yourself into the right headspace. You can use The Master Plan to lay out your ideal day, write down a gratitude list or give yourself some head space by writing down your worries.
