Ciara’s Go-To Wellness Tips Have Nothing to Do with Green Juice or Meditation

When it comes to wellness, there’s no shortage of trends out there. From protein shakes and green juices to cold plunges and cryotherapy, it can be hard to figure out what actually works. While you should always consult a medical professional before trying something new, getting inspiration from someone who seems to have it all together? Never a bad idea. Enter: Ciara.

The singer, entrepreneur, philanthropist and mom of four recently spoke to PureWow about her go-to wellness tips—and they're surprisingly simple.

Her two major tips? Drink water and no midnight snacks.

“Those are the little things that make the world of a difference,” Ciara said during a conversation promoting her new creatine campaign with Thorne, a health and wellness company.

The "Goodies" singer also opened up about her favorite ways to unwind after a long day—and honestly, her go-to rituals prove that yes, celebrities really are just like us.

“Sitting in my car is a wind-down [because] it's the quietest place in the world,” she shared. Relatable? Absolutely. Another of her top choices? The holy grail of relaxation: binge-watching.

“I like watching shows,” she said. “I also like sitting in the bath… there's something so peaceful and relaxing about sitting in the bathtub. Just being able to think. It's a good feeling.”

But not all of her wind-down moments are solo. Ciara shared that some of her calmest times are spent with her family, especially on a quiet stroll with her youngest, who’s just 22 months old.

“That was very peaceful for me,” she explained. “So I will say sometimes a wind-down may include the babies or time with [husband Russell Wilson], too.”
