Lori Harvey has been the talk of the town since confirming her relationship with Michael B. Jordan in early 2021. And though she has since made a name for herself as an individual with the help of the successful launch of her skin care brand SKN by LH, she has also become known for her body. Lori even went viral recently after putting the TikTok girlies on game when she revealed the secret to her Met Gala abs was consistent Pilates.


In a response video to her becoming a viral TikTok sound, Lori revealed that she gained 15 pounds of love weight at the beginning of her relationship with the Without Remorse actor. In her TikTok, the beauty entrepreneur answered the question on a lot of people’s minds of how she got her body to where it is now. “I’ve been consistently doing Pilates for the last year. I’ve done it for a few years, but I’ve been consistently doing it for a year,” she said.

“When I was trying to drop weight, I was working out like five, six times a week and I would even do, like, for the first month and a half, I think I did two-a-days. So, what I would do was, I was in a calorie deficit. I think I was maybe consuming like 1200 calories in a day max and I wasn’t on a specific eating regimen. I just was trying to do meat and veggies and minimal carbs.” She also noted that she would run on the treadmill for 30 minutes and do outdoor activities such as hiking.

When she shared her video on TikTok, she gave fans a fair warning as a pinned comment. “Before y’all start your s—t this is what worked for me and MY body. Everyone is different so tailor your needs to meet your goals.” However, the model faced backlash on Twitter after many people suggested that her weight loss routine was problematic. While you should do what’s good for your body, it should be noted that, according to The Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, adult women should consume 1600-2400 calories a day.

Pilates is also a great workout as it strengthens your body and targets your core muscles. The 25-year-old founder spoke about Pilates in a past interview with makeup artist Patrick Starrr and how intense it was for her and Michael. “When I started Pilates he was like, ‘Oh okay that little workout you doing is not that serious,’” she said. “I was like, ‘No, this is the most intense workout I’ve ever done in my life.’ And he was like, ‘Yeah, yeah whatever.’”

She continued, “I was like, ‘You should just come with me and see.’ He was like, ‘Okay.’ When I tell you he died, he died and had so much interest in it after that. He was like, ‘Oh, okay this is different.’ He was like, ‘I feel muscles that I’ve never used before.’ And like he’s muscular, he works out, he’s in the gym… He went for a couple weeks with me until he had to start back filming again.”

Aries-April-2025-monthly-horoscopes

April is a month to slow down and to fully grasp what has been. The month starts in fiery Aries Season, but we are also in the thick of Retrograde Season as we begin the month as well. Thankfully, Mercury finally goes direct on April 7, after being retrograde mid-March, and communication matters are clearing up. This is a month of mental clarity, a fresh start, and not being afraid to dream a little bigger.

On April 12, there is a Full Moon in Libra, and this Full Moon brings relationship and financial matters full circle. This is the time to let go of what doesn’t make you feel balanced or in harmony and to create space for more peace to enter your life. Venus goes direct in Pisces on the same day, after being retrograde since March 1, and love is healing. With Venus now direct, there are more opportunities for commitment and longevity in love, and there is overall a greater feeling of romance, receptivity, and compassion in the air now.

Turns Out Sober Sex Might Be The Underrated Secret To Better Orgasms

Hmph. I know there has got to be at least three times a week when our grandparents will hear about something that folks present as being revolutionary that causes them to just roll their eyes, shrug their shoulders, and continue to go on with whatever they were doing. Listen, call it old-fashioned thinking if you want to but if you want to avoid a lot of unnecessary regret in this life, hang out with your elders (and actually listen to what they are saying) sometimes — they’ve already been where you are and, since when it comes to them, you can’t say the same, you just might get a few gems (in fact, I can almost guarantee it).

Take sobergasms, for instance. Oh, I’m willing to bet that a senior in your life has mentioned them, just in another way, before. If you’ve never heard of the term, it’s actually a pretty good one because it means just what you think it does: SOBER ORGASMS. And just to make sure that we all are on the same page, it’s sex — that hopefully includes orgasms — that involves very little to no alcohol.
