You'd never guess looking at her now, but just four months ago, Brooke Burke-Charvet was undergoing treatment for thyroid cancer. The diagnosis was a shock for the 41-year-old Dancing With the Stars cohost. Newly married to David Charvet, the mom of four was busy juggling her career and blended family when, last Spring, her doctor found a lump.

She is now cancer-free, and the experience reinforced Brooke's belief in the importance of taking care of yourself — inside and out. Here's her everyday advice for eating right, getting fit, and staying grounded.

Focus on what matters
"Dance through the chaos. Breathe through everything. I've got four kids — including a 13-year-old going on 30 — and this is my second marriage. I know there's not going to be balance in every day, so I don't beat myself up. I'm an idealist; I strive and dream big. But I focus on the stuff that really matters, and I let everything else roll off. Truly, truly, truly."

Keep the romance going
"In our house, with four kids, it's tough to remember we're a couple, not just people's parents! We try to have a regular date night, but sometimes it doesn't happen, so we make sure we connect every week. Maybe it's a lunch. Maybe it's dinner after the kids fall asleep. Sometimes it's with another couple. It's just the fact that we got up, got dressed, and got out of our sweats!"

Nail Polish

Cool Off This Summer With Mint Nail Polish

Cool down this Summer with peppermint .

Cool down this Summer with peppermint . . . nail polish, that is. For several stars, the soft but noticeable hue has provided a light-hearted way to accentuate this season's warm-weather styles. Wear it with muted clothing à la Anna Kendrick (left) for a pop of color, or take it up high-octane with a vivid yellow frock, just like Brooke Burke (lower right). And for a look worthy of any music festival, apply eye-catching orange paint on your fingers, Santigold-style (as seen in the upper right). Whatever you choose, you're bound to make a refreshing statement.

Celebrity Style

Brooke Burke's Printed Romper Can Be Worn in Countless Ways

Brooke Burke was the vision of Summer fun while at an outdoor event for Operation Smile in LA, where she wore this fabulous Alice + Olivia printed Aida belted romper ($297) with two-tone wedges.

Brooke Burke was the vision of Summer fun while at an outdoor event for Operation Smile in LA, where she wore this fabulous Alice + Olivia printed Aida belted romper ($297) with two-tone wedges. While such a loud piece may not seem versatile enough to carry you through Summer, we beg to differ. For a daytime look, wear it like Brooke did with simple jewels and wedge sandals, or pair it with a black or white blazer and metallic high heels for a nighttime summery feel. Throw on a black or brown leather jacket and Brooke's Alice + Olivia romper will instantly turn edgy, or give it a resort spin by tying a white button-down over it. Another option is to sport it underneath a denim vest or jacket for a more casual-cool look. The possibilities are endless, so if you've been seeking a standout Summer romper, add this one to your closet.
