Kelis starts the day with a gym session, followed by a home cooked meal (she's a trained chef!). "It's really important for me to move my body in some way to start the day," she says. "Cooking every day keeps me grounded, I find inspiration in food, so I like to try and incorporate it into my daily routine."

Kelis enjoys food sourced from her farm, which are a great source of nutrients such as choline and protein. "We live on a farm, so we have a ridiculous amount of eggs all the time," she says. "So I'm always like, 'What can I add eggs to?'"

Kelis says learning to cook was incredibly beneficial for her mental health and happiness.  "Me personally, for who I am and for how I like to live my life and who I say I want to be, I had to take a break," she says. "I needed a mental hiatus. So now, I really enjoy both of my careers. I love being able to get on stage, I love being able to write. The last record I put out is my favorite album to date."

Kelis loves her daily coffee, but is very specific about how it should be made. "I hate unfrothed milk in my coffee. I don't ever want unfrothed," she says. She also likes jazzing her coffee up with adding cayenne, cacao, or ginger.  

Kelis always has much-needed downtime before she hits the stage. "On a day when I'm performing, I like to take time to chill out and get myself ready," she says. "Getting to lift women up and perform is the most authentic to me!"
