Since turning 30 two years ago, Drew Barrymore has been looking slimmer and more glamorous than ever.

The latest to notice? Cosmetics giant CoverGirl, who just signed Drew Barrymore as the new face of its print and TV ads launching next year.

“I’m so excited!” she tells Us Weekly.

Now girls may tape your ads to their walls. What message do you hope to send?

There were a lot of years where I told myself I couldn’t wear this or that doesn’t look good, but you have to say yes to yourself! Embrace who you are, love yourself and it will come through on the outside.

How have you been keeping in shape?

I’ve been running a lot lately and really keeping my diet in check. I still eat pasta – and carbs and all of that, but I’m eating slightly smaller portions. I cannot say no to myself — life is too short!

I’ve also been doing this new class. It’s a Pilates-ballet-yoga combination. It’s so hard! [via: Us Weekly]
