If there’s one thing Martha Stewart knows how to do (besides home-keeping, entrepreneurial endeavors, gardening, baking—and, well, everything), it’s how to start the day on the right note. She’s an early riser, a lover of routines, and, as a result, has her trademark glow to show for it.

A morning beauty routine that’s equal parts practical and indulgent helps the Sports Illustrated model look refreshed and luminous day after day. Just a few steps, done consistently, can make all the difference. Think of it as the skincare version of her cooking and entertaining philosophy: simple, thoughtful, and elevated.

“If you have a skin-care routine of any sort, you’re one step ahead—consistency is key,” Martha previously shared in Living the Good Long Life: A Practical Guide to Caring for Yourself and Others. Ahead, we’re breaking down Martha’s skincare advice and morning routine, shared through years of wisdom, books, blogs, and appearances. Consider it inspiration for your own mornings; a reminder that glowing skin doesn’t have to mean complicated steps, just the right ones done well.

Fashion meets fitness! Celebrity trainer Harley Pasternak sat down with ET to share simple ways to take your workouts to the next level, and surprisingly, it all starts with your outfit.

The fitness guru, whose star-studded roster includes Ariana Grande, Lady Gaga, Kim Kardashian, Rihanna, Megan Fox, Adele, and Katy Perry revealed how the right wardrobe can work out with you while celebrating the opening of Vuori Studio by Harley Pasternak in Los Angeles, California.

“Vuori Studio is designed to be a fully immersive and elevated experience,” he says. “It’s a private, VIP training and recovery space where my clients, brand partners, and athletes can come to move, recharge, and feel their best. We’ve integrated best-in-class equipment with their innovative apparel, so it’s more than just working out.”

And, according to Pasternak, your ‘fit can fuel your fitness from the moment you step into the space.

“What you wear impacts how you move and how you feel. … When you feel good in your clothes and they fit right, move with you, and reflect your personal style it shows. You walk into a gym with a different mindset.”

His go-to brand? Vuori. “It’s performance-driven but also designed to make you feel confident and powerful. That alone can help push you to give more.”

Sporting proper attire also allows Pasternak to teach his A-list approved technique — rooted in science and sustainability — to the fullest extent.

“Great apparel helps you focus on the work, not what you’re wearing. … It gives you the flexibility and support you need during a workout, without distraction,” The Carb Reset author explains.

But your wardrobe is just the beginning. For Pasternak, lasting results come down to healthy habits woven into your daily grind.

“Whether you’re on a movie set, or behind a desk, it’s about building routines that enhance your life, not overwhelm it. … My clients are busy, often traveling, and need programs that are effective, but realistic. I give them the tools to stay healthy no matter where they are or how full their schedule gets,” he notes.

Some of those strategies include walking every day, eating balanced meals, and prioritizing sleep.

“What you do between workouts often matters more than the workout itself. … It’s usually the small things, done consistently, that create the biggest changes,” the nutritionist notes.

“Getting outside and moving regularly, using the PATH method (Palm of carbs, All the veggies, Thumb of fat, Hand of protein), and staying off your phone before bed can do more than any fancy trend,” the public speaker shares.

I didn’t stop drinking for my skin, which feels almost embarrassing to admit after more than 25 years working as a beauty editor. I’d tried every retinol, LED facial, and faddy 24 carat gold-infused cream known to the beauty world, but it never occurred to me that the real game-changer might be quitting alcohol.

When I first decided to go sober, my skin was an afterthought. Like so many women in their forties, I was done with how alcohol was making me feel—permanently rough and anxious—even after just a couple of glasses of wine. I wasn’t someone who drank heavily in my twenties, but over the years, alcohol became threaded through my everyday life: after-work drinks, family parties, a post-putting-the-kids-to-bed treat.

And then almost four years ago, when I was 45, I moved from London to Florida, where it always feels like cocktail o’clock, and that quiet habit turned into something louder. I was also experiencing perimenopause at the time, which didn’t help my drinking. Or my skin for that matter. My tolerance to alcohol was shrinking while my anxiety and sleeplessness were growing. And my skin was suffering too. I noticed sagging creeping into my jawline, lines on my upper lip, worsening pigmentation, more prominent dark circles.

At 48, I’d had enough and decided to give up alcohol—literally overnight—and everything changed.

The very first week, I woke up with a clear head and clearer skin. That short timeline for good results is actually quite common, according to board-certified dermatologist Mona Gohara, MD, especially if alcohol was a regular part of your routine. “Even a week off can be enough for your skin barrier to recover some of its moisture and for inflammation to start calming down,” Dr. Gohara explains. Jessica Krant, MD, a board-certified NYC dermatologist also points out that alcohol is a diuretic, meaning that it causes the body to release more urine and lose water, which is awful news for aging skin, as it is drier by default. “Dehydration can negatively affect your skin by causing it to dry out and become dull and rough,” Dr. Krant says. “Lack of hydration can also decrease the skin elasticity, making it saggy and wrinkled, so you appear older than you are.”

Fuel your body! TRUBAR founder Erica Groussman sat down with ET to share her wellness routine, which features her vegan protein bars that taste like desserts with flavors inspired by donuts, cookie dough, strawberry shortcake and more.

The CEO relies on the yummy snacks, loved by Bethenny Frankel, to keep her feeling healthy and full, in between her action-packed schedule.

“Wellness is all about what actually fits into my day. … I keep it simple but consistent. … I’ve learned it doesn’t have to be all or nothing, it just has to happen,” she spills. 

“I’m not chasing perfection. I just want to feel good and keep up with everything I have going on,” she continues.

Her go-to activity: “I try to move my body every day, even if it’s just a walk between calls. … Right now, I’m obsessed with padel. … I’m fully hooked. It’s competitive, fun, social, and somehow still a killer workout. … Reserve Padel in Miami, Florida is definitely my happy place right now.”

To reach her full potential on and off the court, Groussman sticks to a nutritious diet.

“I stay on top of my hydration with electrolytes throughout the day and I eat clean most of the time and avoid sugar alcohols, seed oils, and gut-wrecking stuff. … I’m not counting every calorie or following some trend, but I do pay attention to real ingredients I can actually pronounce and want to eat.”

To close out her day — and get ready for the next one — the businesswoman prioritizes her nighttime routine.

“I take sleep seriously. A cozy cocoa helps me wind down after the grind,” she notes.
