In her Service95 January newsletter, Dua Lipa shared how she gets through the month.

By now, most of us are probably back to the grind, doing our best to stick to any New Year’s resolutions. After indulging in all the food and wine in December, I like to jump back into my routine as quickly as possible.

Staying on top of my health is super important, especially since I’m on a break between touring. So, if you’re also going through a busy period, here are six ways I stay healthy and active while navigating a hectic lifestyle…

1. Take Glutathione Supplements – I have this daily; it’s a powerful antioxidant that helps protect your body from cellular damage and good for the immune system.
2. Have An Ice Bath – There’s nothing like a cold plunge to wake you up – the cold takes some getting used to, but it makes you feel amazing.
3. Use A Theragun Regularly – When I’m on the road, my massage gun is my best friend. It’s brilliant for muscle recovery and preventing injury.
4. Have Morning Ginger Shots – The best way to kickstart the day and give yourself another immunity boost.
5. Head To The Sauna – They’re great for detoxifying, but I also love a sauna for helping me to de-stress and unwind.
6. Do Some Pilates – It strengthens your core, improves posture, and helps flexibility… the benefits are endless. Plus, I just absolutely love it.

Dua Lipa‘s January pick for her Service95 book club is ‘Drive Your Plow Over the Bones of the Dead‘ by Olga Tokarczuk. This genre-defying, darkly humorous, and deadly serious novel is a crime story that extends beyond a mere whodunnit. When a local hunter on a remote Polish plateau chokes on a deer bone one winter evening, his death is shocking but easily explained. But when other members of the local hunting fraternity start showing up dead, things start to get weird. Dua said she loved the protagonist’s “opinionated and eccentric protagonist whose fixations on the radical 18th century poet William Blake, rights of animals, and the use of astrology to solve crimes takes this book in unexpected directions at every turn.”

Dua Lipa‘s November pick for her Service95 book club is ‘On Earth We’re Briefly Gorgeous‘ by Ocean Vuong. The novel is told in the form of a letter by a young man called Little Dog to his illiterate Vietnamese mother as he flits between past and present to make sense of their relationship and his upbringing. Told in Vuong’s signature poetic language, the story slowly reveals the layers of intergenerational trauma left by war and family violence.

Dua Lipa‘s October pick for her Service95 book club is ‘Lincoln in the Bardo‘ by George Saunders. The historical fiction novel, which takes place in just over 24 hours, tells the story of President Abraham Lincoln who is grieving for his dead son, Willie, whose death foreshadows the hundreds of thousands of lives that are about to be lost in the American Civil War. What makes this novel even more unique is that it’s narrated by many bickering ghosts that reside in a graveyard.
