Katy Perry’s Trailblazing Tactic

She also mentions that alcohol makes your skin look bad, but water keeps it looking nice. She eats a lot of vegetables, and allows herself to indulge every once in a while.
This Oscar-winning actress applies her makeup while lying on her back because it makes her look more relaxed. More than anything, she says that powerful women use their success as a platform to help others.
