Elizabeth Gutierrez is smiling and posing in recent photos posted to her Instagram. In one photo Gutierrez gives advice on how to avoid criticism.

Gutierrez's recent pictures, dating back to late April have shown the actress on the beach in several different poses and on Monday she posted another picture from the beach.

Gutierrez posted this picture of herself on the beach. She wears a pink hat and cut-off jean shorts. This is the same hat and outfit that she wore when she and her daughter Kailey took a picture in a similar pose with their legs crossed sitting on the beach. The newer photo could be from that same day and Gutierrez might have just now posted it.

In the photo's caption she explains: "There is only one way to avoid criticism... Do nothing... Say Nothing...and be nothing!" she wrote.

Thursday, Gutierrez posted two closeup pictures of herself. In the first picture, she wears a red flower in her hair. She captions the photo: "Don't fall in love with the flower.. Fall in love with its roots!!"

In the most recent picture, Gutierrez poses for another closeup with self-described messy hair and red lips. She said in the caption "Messy hair... red lips... ready to go."

Most of Gutierrez photos that she posts on Instagram are of just her, her and her kids, or her and her friends. 

On Mother's Day, Gutierrez posted a picture of her two children, Christopher and Kailey, laying on top of her. She calls them her "motivation" and says she "loves them to Pluto and back."
