As star of the Emmy-nominated CBS comedy Bob Hearts Abishola and with roles that include Modern Family, Westworld and Transparent, Nigerian-American actress and musician Folake Olowofoyeku credits wellness for being able to do her job well.
Self-Care Schedule
“Self-care looks like quiet time, proper hydration, travel, adventure, water sports in warm oceans, spa escapes, aromatherapy, dancing, eating of the earth, eliminating consumption of artificial sugars, and detoxing that amazing organ, the liver! Thanks to Angelique Kidjo, I’ll be adding Transcendental Meditation to this list via the David Lynch Foundation.”
Wellness is vitality through mind-body awareness and following practices that allow me to experience true harmony and peace.
Beauty Bests
“My beauty routine consists of proper hydration, regular facials and moisturizing. My favorite brands are Young Living, yFOY, La Mer, conditionHER, Dermalogica, Soothing Touch’s over-sized lip balms for my beautiful, full lips, and an amazing new line by a friend of mine, Octava.”
Lean In
“During the pandemic, I took a closer look at my health and leaned into the fact that what I eat is also what I use to repair my body.”
Stretch Sessions
“Proper alignment, strength training, cardio, restorative yoga, and a lot of foam-rolling and stretching make up my fitness routine. I also like to frequent the StretchLab when my schedule permits.”
Diet Do
“I am really into supplements right now. Standard Process has been a constant for me for high-quality supplements, as well as some of Young Living’s and Vitamin D3 by Allergy Research Group. My go-tos for healthy eating are Dr. Sebi’s Alkaline Foods, Medical Medium recipes and Bieler’s broth.”
Spa Time
“The StretchLab and deep-tissue sports massages are my favorite way to indulge.”
