Jewel is bringing the heat to the holiday season.
In a recent Instagram post, the 51-year-old country singer shared a few bikini photos from her vacation to the Caribbean island, Barbuda, captioning the post, “#Barbuda for a few days of sun before more winter snow.”
The first photo in the slideshow featured Jewel smiling at the camera with the wind blowing her hair back, as she stood on the beach in an animal-print bikini. The ocean waves can be seen crashing onto the shore behind her.
A second photo shows the singer in the same bikini, this time taking a mirror selfie in her hotel room. Other photos in the slideshow feature the food she ate and the picturesque ocean views.

“As many of you know, I am a mental health advocate. If there’s anything that I’ve learned in the past 20 years, it’s that mental health affects everybody’s lives across party lines,” Jewel said in response in an Instagram video. “I reached out to the last administration, spoke with the surgeon general about the mental health crisis that’s facing our nation. I don’t know if you guys know the stats, but it is bleak.”
She went on to say that “I believe I can help, and if I believe I can help, I have to try.” Jewel is involved in numerous nonprofit organizations aimed at improving the mental health crisis in America, including the Inspiring Children Foundation and Innerworld, both of which she co-founded.

“If I wait to try until I agree 100% with the people that might be willing to help me, I’d never get off the bench. I don’t think that’s how activism works, waiting until everything’s perfect enough to participate,” she continued in her video to her fans. “It’s actually because things are so imperfect that we have to find ways to engage and to participate. And we have to act now. We cannot wait another four years.”
