(Cover) - EN Showbiz - Nicole Scherzinger always cheers up after watching a Will Ferrell movie.

The American songstress has been offering advice on how to look after yourself. The 33-year-old beauty is renowned for her sunny disposition, and puts it down to simple daily treats.

"Being good to yourself in other ways helps [to feel loved and taken care of], like getting a massage or watching a funny movie," she told Bliss magazine.

"Napoleon Dynamite or anything with Will Ferrell in it always makes me smile. Or just wear something that makes you feel beautiful and unique. We're all too hard on ourselves sometimes."

Nicole writes a list of things she wishes to accomplish.

The stunning star says seeing her aspirations in black and white encourages her to achieve them.

"You can write a list of the things that inspire you and you want to achieve. It doesn't matter what you want to do whether it's writing a song, becoming a dancer or becoming a doctor," she explained.

"Writing that stuff down will empower you in some way. You need to think, What is my purpose in life, what do I want to achieve, do I just want to help people?' Figuring that out will make you feel good about yourself." (C) Cover Media
