Jennifer Lopez is a stylish woman who is living by her own rules and doing her best to be true to her roots. She has style and grace, not to mention a slamming body for a woman of forty-five! She works hard for everything she has and seems to do it effortlessly.
She got everyone talking about her tremendously in shape body with that green Versace dress she worn to the Grammys with Sean P. Diddy Combs. And ever since then, she has displayed her amazing body by showcasing her equally amazing style.

She got her start as a “fly girl” on the TV show, In Living Color. She went on to star in the biopic Selena, and her star has just risen from there, starring in over 35 movies and releasing eight albums. I love her music, especially when I’m working out or cleaning the house. Her music is upbeat and makes me wanna dance, and love, and dance again! She has also acted in some great romantic comedies, like Maid in Manhattan and The Wedding Planner. She has also done some great dramatic roles, like the dance instructor in Shall We Dance?, or the abused wife in Enough.

She is an actress, singer, songwriter, dancer, producer, and fashion designer. She is a judge on American idol, and the executive producer of the TV show The Fosters. She is also set to co-produce and star in an upcoming NBC television series in the Fall.
“I think crossroads come at many times during your life. Up to this point, I’ve had several. You get to a certain point in your life and you’re like, Am I supposed to be doing this? And it’s usually in the face of some failure – something that didn’t work out the way you wanted it to. And you’re faced with a decision: Do I keep trying to do this or do I give up?” (Source: IMDb)
I recently read her book, True Love, and I feel like I have a better understanding of what she was going through as a wife and mother all the while as she was planning and then performing her Dance Again World Tour.

Through it all, her supportive mother, Guadelupe, has been there to help out. She helps take care of Jennifer, as well as the twins, Max and Emme. And I’m sure Jennifer and her mother get into their little spats like every mother and daughter, but their love for each other is unconditional.
“I thought she’d offer me some sympathy. Instead, she said, “Don’t you ever call me crying again! You wanted to be in this business, so you better toughen up!”. And I did. [to Redbook magazine August 1999, on the lesson in tough love she got from her mother].” (Source: IMDb)

“Part of my business is about being in shape and looking good. You can’t lie to yourself about it. But I’m not the monster I used to be in the exercise department. You get past your 20s, you’ve got kids… you’re kind of unmotivated. You want to be healthy and look good, but you want to do the least amount to maintain that.” (Source: IMDb)
In 2014, Jennifer launched BodyLab, a new wellness brand designed by women for women. This lifestyle program has an app for your iPhones, iPads, and androids. It’s easy to navigate, and easy to use in or out of the gym.

The BodyLab program features tasty protein shakes as well as supplements. I’m sure that if someone uses both the shake mix and supplements, and follows the program, then I’m sure one can achieve a slamming body like Jennifer’s.

Jennifer may live in California now, but she will always be “Jenny from the block” and she will always represent the South Bronx. She has been in several high profile relationships, including P. Diddy, Ben Affleck, and Marc Anthony (who was also her husband, and father of her twins).

She is truly a style icon as well as a role model to women young and old.
