6 Tips for Summer Health & Wellness

With Actress Abigail Klein

I take advantage of my neighborhood farmers market! It’s one of the only reasons I’ll jump out of bed early. I’m especially obsessed with summer fruit. I feel really grateful to have access to such gorgeous peaches, nectarines, grapes and strawberries straight from the farm. I’ve recently scored some apriumsa hybrid of a plum and an apricot... who knew! They’re divine by the way.

I picked up roller skating during the pandemic. Am I good at it? No. Is it a really fun hobby that doubles as a workout? Yes! I’m working my way up to getting confident enough to skate along Venice beach. I wear all the safety equipment. Including a butt pad. Don’t be afraid to sacrifice style for safety!

I really enjoy taking long walks while the sun is still out in the evenings after dinner. Dusk is really calming. Plus, I’m learning more and more about the importance of taking in that light at night being so helpful in fueling good sleep and maintaining a healthy circadian rhythm. I really, really love my sleep.

I enjoy spending good quality time with my husband and friends. Slow dinners, comedy shows, beach walks, hikes... doing it with loved ones really ups the serotonin. It’s also really fun to play games together like, “We’re Not Really Strangers” because you learn new things about a friend you’d otherwise maybe never discover!

Hydration! I’m the first to get a headache from the heat and I only have myself to blame. I carry a water bottle with me everywhere and use electrolytes. It’s a game changer. The extra vitamins and minerals really make a difference and most importantly taste great so that keeps me reaching for it. I love LMNT packets and BioSteel as well. Both brands have delicious flavors.

Hear me out. Deep cleaning! Organizing the house! A good purge! Even if it’s one room, one drawer at a time. When I do this, I simply feel light and refreshed afterwards. I don’t find this to be the most fun tip on the list but after I put on some good music and do my it turns out to be one of the most rewarding.

Whats on the cards for you this Summer? Any fun trips planned? How do you like to spend your downtime?

I’m looking forward to exploring more of California. Part of the reason why I’ve loved living here is that there are infinite adventure possibilities. I really love getting away to wine country specifically! Being outside and visiting the sprawling vineyards is one of my absolute favorite things to do. Paso Robles is quite close to Los Angeles and has incredible wine makers. I love exploring the quaint downtown area too. Of course Napa/ Sonoma is my number one destination for wine tasting. I highly recommend waking up super early one morning and going on a hot air balloon ride. It’s the most calming experience ever. It brought tears to my eyes! I must say, I dream about the food scene in Napa, as well. This will sound a bit random but, the best english muffins in the world are found there at The Model Bakery. It’s not just me who thinks this...Oprah has said so, too!

“My new role on Days of Our Lives has been an absolute blast! Since joining the cast back in March, I’ve felt really inspired by the quick pace of filming. Sometimes I get to shoot two full episodes or more in a day. Wild! It sure is a well-oiled machine and I’m in awe at what the cast and crew can accomplish in a work day. I’m playing Stephanie Johnson, the daughter of Steve and Kayla Johnson. I love how independent she is and how fiercely she loves her family and those she cares about. She’s not afraid of saying exactly what she thinks or how she feels. I really admire her confidence and vulnerability. She can be rebellious too, which is fun. There’s definitely an edgy and fearless side to her. Fans of the show will be able to look forward to lots of sweet family reunion time. It has been very special to be a part of such an iconic series. I’ve loved every second and look forward to viewers continuing to follow along with all of the drama and excitement!"
