Get To Know Lindsay Ellingson

Diet, Exercise & Lifestyle

Diet Philosophy

“I don’t really believe in diets. I believe in eating food that’s going to make you feel energized and make you feel good, and if you’re feeling that way, then you’re eating healthy foods. One of my go-tos is salmon with a kale salad and a sweet potato — so very hearty, energizing food — but it’s by no means a diet. It’s, you know, good for you.”

” I stay away from anything deep-fried or that has a lot of preservatives.”

Lindsay’s Food Diary

The perfect start in the day:
“I had a consultation with the Ayurveda specialist who told me that I should drink warm, filtered water in the morning. He said your body absorbs the warm water better than cold and that it’s really soothing to your stomach. I actually find that I don’t need caffeine like coffee or tea.”

Convenience is key for me as a new mom, so I gravitate towards quick, healthy breakfasts like yogurt with granola and fruit. Sometimes I’ll have homemade overnight oats ready to eat in the fridge. Coffee is a must for me, I stick to one cup and then switch to ice tea later in the day. I love to add vanilla almond milk creamer to my coffee; I look forward to it every morning.

“If I’m well-rested and have my breakfast, that gives me energy for my day. But sometimes, around 4 p.m., I’ll get an iced brew coffee from Intelligentsia.”

“I make a smoothie with almond butter, strawberries, and almond milk or a seven-grain toast with avocado, seas salt, and cumin.”

Fall indulge
“I’m not perfect. I indulge. Especially this time of year — pumpkin everything. I love pumpkin spice, pumpkin donuts — you know, you gotta enjoy your life, too.”

Daily juicing:
“I’ll incorporate juices into my daily routine, but I eat. I’ve never done that [a juice cleanse]. It’s too much for me. I have a really fast metabolism, luckily, so I don’t think I could do a weekly juice cleanse.”

French Chocolate
“La Maison du Chocolat. I don’t like fancy truffles. I get a cluster of milk-chocolate-covered nuts. And I discovered it while I was living in Paris, and I’ve been obsessed ever since. Every time I go, I pick some up.”

Exercise

Workout Routine

“I wasn’t really a yoga fan before,” she said, “because I hadn’t found the right studio. Yoga 216 is different because they have six people at a time in a class, so you get that extra attention — and the teachers, they align you properly so you don’t hurt yourself. It’s a powerful yoga — a powerful vinyasa — and most of the classes are heated to 90 degrees, so you’re getting a great detox as well … and it just tones your muscles beautifully and elongates them, so I love that.”

“During the quarantine, I tried a lot of online fitness classes. My favorite is Ballet Beautiful by Mary Helen Bowers. She trained me one year for the Victoria’s Secret show, and I love how her workouts make me long and lean. As a former dancer it’s a lot of fun to feel like a ballerina again. I workout a few times a week while my son is napping. And I also started live pilates classes again, and I’m loving the energy and motivation I feel in a group setting.”

“I was always involved in dance teams growing up. Maybe that’s why I can’t stand running in a straight line on a treadmill now! When it comes to exercise, I don’t like anything that’s too serious.”

Skin Care Routine

Skin Care Tips: Moring – Evening

Morning

“In the morning, I start with CeraVe’s Hydrating Micellar Water. It’s perfect to use when I don’t have makeup on and just need a quick cleanse. I struggle with hyperpigmentation, so next I apply Sight C-er Vitamin C Concentrate by Wander Beauty to brighten my skin and fight off skin damaging free radicals. To hydrate, I love our Dive In Moisturizer. It’s an amazing lightweight formula with an ingredient called Pentavitin that gives you 72 hours of hydration. I love how my skin glows all day. Finally, I always apply sunscreen—right now I am loving the Unrivaled Sun Serum by Eleven, created by Venus Williams, it’s 100 percent mineral and actually goes on sheer.”

” I do it in the morning if I’m a little bit tired because I definitely haven’t been getting the sleep I used to, and it helps if I feel puffy or red. Anytime I feel like I need to freshen up under my eyes, I put the Wander Beauty Baggage Claim Eye Masks on for 15 minutes for an instant plumping effect. The gold foil helps to warm your skin so that it better absorbs the serum, which has hyaluronic acid, camu camu extract, aloe leaf juice, and glycerin.”

Evening

“In the evening, I cleanse with Wander Beauty’s Drift Away Cleanser. It contains a coconut-derived surfactant, so it’s really gentle on skin but removes all traces of makeup. Next, I use Dr. Loretta’s Micro Peel Peptide Pads with 10% glycolic acid. I finish off with Mutha’s Cream Extreme—it’s a brand I discovered while pregnant and I love how the formula is 100 percent clean and treats my skin overnight.”

“I love a mist throughout the day, and another product that I just started using is this James Read Gradual Tan H2O Mist for the face. My issue in the spring and summer months is that my body gets nice and tan, but my face doesn’t because I’m always wearing sunscreen. You spritz this on before makeup or throughout the day, and I see a gradual glow and a little bit of warmth to my complexion.”

“Sleep is so essential for me, and I feel my best when I’ve had at least 8 hours, so I’m in bed by 9:30 p.m. The last thing I do before bed is listen to a podcast. There’s something so soothing about it, so I make sure and set a sleep timer and I’m usually asleep within minutes.”

“The Slipsilk pillow case. I sleep on it every night. It doesn’t absorb my skin-care [products] off my face, and it keeps my hair smooth, too.”

Make Up

Pre-MakeUp Routine

“One of the things I’ve found most effective is just giving yourself a nice facial massage before you apply makeup. It’s a great way to de-puff and get the circulation going, and I find that the natural contours of your face show a bit more. I start from the center of my face and work outwards towards my ears and down the neck with a little bit of an oil. You can use a tool like a gua sha, but your hands work beautifully, too.”

Basic Face Routine

“I like to keep my routine fresh and effortless, so I rely on a few multitaskers to get me ready every morning. [And] I always start with my brows. I think it’s the most important feature on your face, and the right shape adds instant youth. I use Wander Beauty’s Frame Your Face Micro Brow Pencil. [Honestly] I love how the micro tip creates hairlike strokes that look so natural and it stays in place all day. Next, I perfect my complexion with our Dualist Matte & Illuminating Concealer. What I love is how the two formulas work to cover anything from dark circles to blemishes; it’s a must have! My holy grail mascara is Unlashed Volume & Curl, because the curved brush makes my lashes so fluttery and fanned out and I love how I can layer the formula without it clumping. To finish off my look, I use our Double Date Lip & Cheek. It’s the perfect pinky nude and gives my skin a healthy glow.”

Bye Bye Puffy Eyes

“I love my Kitsch Ice Roller, it’s a great way to depuff my under eyes before a shoot and wake up my complexion.”

“I think I look at my best when I’m either working out or after a day on the beach with a little sun-kissed glow.”

Parfume

“My favorite fragrance is Jimmy Choo Eau de Parfum.”

Nail Care

“I always have a neutral color on my nails because I’m on TV or doing shoots. Right now, I’m wearing Essie Topless & Barefoot.”

Hair Care

Basics

“I wash my hair at night and use Reverie Milk Anti-Frizz Leave-In Treatment, so I sleep with my hair damp. I love the bed head texture I get in the morning; it makes styling my hair so much easier—I don’t need any styling tools. For extra texture, I tousle my hair with Oribe’s Matte Waves Texture Lotion. If I need a refresh, my go-to dry shampoo is Sam McNight’s Lazy Girl Dry Shampoo. A good trick is to apply it: let the oil absorb and then brush it out.”

Inspirational Quotes By Lindsay Ellingson

Push Out Of Your Comfort Zone

“I grew up very introverted and I’m still a very introverted person, so to me it’s about constantly just pushing and pushing out of your comfort zone because that where you’re going to grow the most.”

The Secret To A Happy Relationship

“It’s a happy relationship when it’s easy and when there’s that trust and love and no jealousy or games or anything.”

“With my husband, it was never like “omg, should I text him?” or “he didn’t call me for two days.” So, I think I knew it was right because it just happened so naturally. That’s one piece of advice that I would give to women who are struggling in this crazy world of dating.”
