Want to live like Gwyneth Paltrow?
The Academy Award winning actress has launched her own lifestyle Website, Goop by Gwyneth Paltrow..
Each of the sections, which include “Make,” “Go,” “Get,” “Do,” “Be,” and “See,” feature an essay written by Paltrow.
“My life is good because I am not passive about it,” Paltrow writes. “I want to nourish what is real, and I want to do it without wasting time. I love to travel, to cook, to eat, to take care of my body and mind, to work hard. I love being a mother who has to overcome my bad qualities to be a good mother. I love being in spaces that are clean and nice.”
Some of her top tips?
“Make your life good. Invest in what’s real,” Paltrow writes. “Cook a meal for someone you love. Pause before reacting. Clean out your space. Read something beautiful. Treat yourself to something. Go to a city you’ve never been to. Learn something new. Don’t be lazy. Workout and stick with it. GOOP. Make it great.”

Gwyneth Paltrow makes being svelte look easy, but the actress tells Oprah Winfrey that she finds it nearly impossible to stick to a diet.
“I just cannot diet,” Paltrow, 35, says on The Oprah Winfrey show airing Wednesday. “I think maybe it’s the idea that you can’t have something … I just can’t do it.”
Instead of counting calories, the slender Oscar-winner prefers to work up a sweat. “It’s worth it to me to do that extra exercise so I can eat what I want and not think about it.”
Paltrow, who also reveals that she had trouble losing “these 20 extra pounds” after giving birth to her son Moses, now 2, appears on the program with close pal, chef Mario Batali. The pair cooked, ate and drank their way across Spain for their upcoming show, Spain … On the Road Again.
The PBS series, which debuts Sept. 20, follows them on a culinary tour of 13 cities. “The Gwyneth you see in Spain is the real Gwyneth,” Batali told PEOPLE. “Funny, and likes her food.”

The Hollywood star has been signed up by Italian designer Tod’s and is pictured draped in fox fur and wearing fur-lined boots feature in the company’s latest advertising campaign.
Miss Paltrow, 35, who is married to the Coldplay singer and vegetarian Chris Martin has won praise for her impeccable green credentials and is a fan of holistic practices and yoga.
The decision to endorse Tod’s, a luxury goods company which also uses ostrich and snakeskin in its products, and describes itself as “refined, understated luxury, impeccable taste and enviable quality”, has come as a shock to animal rights campaigners.
Mark Glover, director of Respect for Animals, said: “Gwyneth Paltrow should be ashamed. I can only assume that Paltrow either is ignorant of the facts or lacks human decency and compassion.”
Friends have said that Miss Paltrow’s decision will jeopardise her close friendship with Stella McCartney, the designer and the daughter of Sir Paul McCartney and Linda McCartney, the animal rights activist.
Miss McCartney does not use fur or leather in her designs and supports People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (Peta).
A spokesman for Peta said calls to the actress had been rebuffed.
“We’ve written to her many times, and sent her videos showing how animals suffer for fur, but have never received a response.
“Apparently her beauty really is only skin deep,” said a spokesman, who added: “Gwyneth Paltrow won’t be the apple of her daughter’s eye if she continues to flaunt fur. It’s a terrible example to set for a young child.”
Miss Paltrow was confirmed as the face of the Italian label Autumn/winter 2008-9 collection in May after her film short for Tod’s premiered in Cannes.
In the campaign, which was shot by Mario Testino in Capri, the actress is supposed to evoke a “with timeless elegance and modern flair” according to Derek Lam, Tod’s creative director.
Miss Paltow replaced Sienna Miller, who starred in last year’s campaigns.
The British Fur Trade Association said: “Animal rights groups are entitled to their opinion but many people do not share this opinion and it is certainly not reflected in the rising global demand for fur.
“Regrettably, not everyone understands the difference between animal welfare, which has the full commitment of our sector, and animal rights, which seeks to ban every animal use by man, whether for food, medical or scientific research, clothing or companionship.”
No comment was available from Ms Paltrow or Mr Martin.

Hamptonites who paid up to $2,500 to attend a benefit were not happy with Gwyneth Paltrow Saturday night.
Already disappointed that honorary chair Madonna didn’t show for the Amaryllis Farm Equine Rescue Organization party, at photographer Steven Klein’s Bridgehampton farm, guests became even more crestfallen when Paltrow spent most of the time off-limits in Klein’s house.
“Gwyneth stayed in the house from the beginning,” sniffed one guest. “She was hanging inside the house with Steven and with Kelly Klein nearly the entire time. Nobody could go inside the house — they had security blocking the way. It was so rude.”
Even Billy Joel’s wife, Katie, was turned back, says a source.
Making matters even more annoying, people kept bumping into things in the dark out on the photographer’s horse riding field.
“It was a ‘black’ party — everybody had to wear black,” our source says. “[Klein] had a bonfire off to the side, but there were no lights whatsoever, and his backyard is huge. He has these black benches all around, and people kept crashing into them.”
Paltrow did emerge for about five minutes to address the group, which included Calvin Klein, Donna Karan, Andrew Saffir, Nicole Miller, Sale Johnson, Russell Simmons, Rosanna Scotto, Rocco DiSpirito and Marcy Warren.
After crying, “I can’t see! I can’t see!” as she teetered to the field, the “Iron Man” star talked about Amaryllis, which helps stop the slaughter of horses, donkeys and mules for dog meat in Mexico.
Paltrow then introduced Olympic dressage coach Robert Dover, who rode Maksymilian, a gelding that had been rescued from slaughter and is now worth $1 million. She also read a poem about the legendary horse Snowman, “whose heart was as radiant as the white snow” and who was rescued by Harry de Leyer, a Long Island riding instructor.
“In saving the horse, Harry became an instrument of the divine,” said Paltrow. “When we make the only choice possible, and that is to love, then all of us become what we were intended to be. We are the power.”
If only Paltrow would use her power, some thought, to let everybody into the house, which is where she quickly sequestered herself the rest of the evening. But all’s well that ends well: After an auction of Klein’s photographs, the evening raised $200,000 for the charity.
