The Oscar winner jumped to her main Instagram page on Tuesday to share special moments from the month of August thus far; seen in May in NYC
The May December actress indulged in a tasty meal that comprised of fresh tomatoes, basil and mozzarella cheese.
Julianne's dog Hope also celebrated turning one year older and the Hollywood star included a slide dedicated to the adorable pup.
Both she and her husband Bart Freundlich adopted the lab mix back in 2020 from Gimme Shelter Animal Rescue.
Lastly, the star showed her Wordle score to her fans and simply captioned the Instagram carousel with, 'August.'
Julianne has previously opened up about beauty and offered her thoughts on the phrase 'aging gracefully.'
During a past interview with As If Magazine in 2021, she said, 'There's so much judgement inherent in the term "aging gracefully." Is there an ungraceful way to age?
'We don't have an option, of course. No one has an option about aging, so it's not a positive or a negative thing, it just is.'
In regards to aging, the actress explained that it is 'part of the human condition, so why are we always talking about it as if it is something that we have control over?'
She added that growing older should instead be focused on 'challenging ourselves' and to 'learn new things.'
'How do we continue to evolve? How do we navigate life to have even deeper experiences?' Julianne further expressed.
And while talking to Glamour, the Sirens star stated that she felt 'makeup is something that you should want to wear, but you shouldn't feel like you have to.
'I think it's an antiquated idea, this idea that we put makeup on to cover something up, to cover up our flaws, or to look professional. You can be professional without makeup. Makeup should be a want, not a need.'
She later reflected, 'That's the biggest change that I think we've had in the beauty industry…is that you do it for yourself, not because you feel that you have to.'
During an interview with Vogue in 2023, Julianne gave insight into her skincare routine - which comprises of Cetaphil cleanser, SPF, serums and eye cream.
And when it comes to the application of makeup, the mom-of-two explained that she doesn't 'like a lot of coverage; I like to be able to see the freckles in my skin and color in my skin as well.'
Julianne has been keeping busy during the summer season and recently enjoyed an Italian trip with her husband Bart as well as their two children Liv, 27, and Caleb, 23.
The actress and her loved ones were spotted taking a dip in the cool water in the city of Grosseto.
Julianne sported a black, one-piece swimsuit while her mini-me daughter donned a shimmering gold bikini.
She additionally shared a few memorable pictures to her Instagram page from the family vacation, including her two kids posing together.
Another showed Liv and Caleb pausing for a snap with their dad Bart - whom Julianne tied the knot with in 2003.
The actress also recently made an appearance in the Netflix limited series titled Sirens - alongside other cast members such as Meghann Fahy, Milly Alcock, Kevin Bacon and Glenn Howerton.
The premise is: 'Worried about her sister's too-close relationship with her billionaire boss, a scrappy everywoman seeks answers at a lavish seaside estate,' per an official synopsis.
The show has garnered critical praise since its release on the streaming site back in May.
Sirens also recently raked in Emmy nominations, including Outstanding Lead Actress in a Limited or Anthology Series or Movie for Meghann and also Outstanding Directing.
A couple months earlier in June, Julianne also hinted at a possible move to the U.K. - after other Hollywood celebrities have left the U.S. following Donald Trump's presidential win late last year in November.
During an appearance on Capital Breakfast with her Echo Valley co-star Sydney Sweeney, the Still Alice actress explained how she has a British passport due to her mother being from Scotland.
When asked if she could 'see herself' residing in the U.K. full-time, Julianne replied, 'I can actually, my husband and I have talked about that sometimes. It could be kind of fun.
'I've worked here a lot and I'm really comfortable here. I've been working here, gosh, probably since the nineties...'
Other stars that have moved out of the United States since Trump's second term began in the White House include Rosie O'Donnell, Eva Longoria and Ellen DeGeneres.
