Blake Lively is glad she took some time off to enjoy being a newlywed with Ryan Reynolds.
The former 'Gossip Girl' star tied the knot with the actor, 37, in a secret ceremony near Charleston, South Carolina, in September 2012, and admits it was "really nice" to take a break from the spotlight for most of last year to focus on their relationship.
The 26-year-old actress told the April issue of Elle magazine: "Having a personal life has been really nice. I'd been on Gossip Girl 10 months a year for six years, shooting 15-hour days, so I hadn't had time to just be since I graduated from high school."
She added: "It's been nice to kind of settle into my own skin and work on things I really love."
But the blonde beauty is now ready to reignite her career and is currently filming 'The Age of Adaline' in her husband's native Vancouver, Canada.
A source told E! News that Blake has been working very hard on the movie and pulling all-nighters this week.
The movie, which also stars Harrison Ford, is set to be released next year.

Alyssa Milano is expecting her second child.
The 41-year-old actress, who recently admitted she and her husband David Bugliari were "actively trying" to give their two-year-old son Milo a sibling, has revealed she is pregnant again.
The 'Mistresses' star announced the happy news on her blog on Friday (21.03.14), writing: "We are so happy to share with you that Milo is going to be a big brother!"
She also shared a link to the post on Twitter, writing: "Ahem! Click here for some BIG, HUGE, HAPPY news."
Last month the brunette beauty joked that her husband, who is a Hollywood agent, was even taking supplements in a bid to increase her chances of getting pregnant.
She said: "We are actively trying. David's] just chugging down ginseng [a herbal remedy believed to increase sex drive and improve erectile function in men]."
Alyssa - who shot to fame on 'Who's the Boss' when she was 11 years old - was forced to defend her post baby body after being insulted by 'Suburgatory' star Jay Mohr during a radio interview in December.

Alyssa challenged him on Twitter after hearing the rude remarks but eventually accepted his apology.

Kim Kardashian says securing the front cover of US Vogue is "a dream come true."
The 'Keeping Up with the Kardashians' beauty was snapped by famed photographer Annie Leibovitz for the magazine's April issue with her rapper fiancé Kanye West, after he reportedly spent more than a year trying to convince its editor Anna Wintour to like the reality TV star.
Clearly ecstatic, the 33-year-old star shared an image of the cover on Twitter, which shows her wearing a strapless white wedding dress with Kanye standing behind her with his arms wrapped around her waist, a nod to their upcoming wedding in Paris on May 24, shortly after it was released on the magazine's website on Friday (21.03.14).
She tweeted: "This is such a dream come true!!! Thank you @VogueMagazine for this cover! O M GGGGGG!!! I can't even breath! (sic)"
Her mother Kris Jenner also shared the image and tweeted: "Gorgeous!!!! @voguemagazine kimkardashian @kanyewest #amazing #stunning #soproudofyoutwo #AnnieLeibowitz (sic)"
A source first revealed in March 2013 that Kanye was on a mission to get Kim on the cover of Vogue despite Anna allegedly branding Kim as "the worst thing since socks and sandals."
The insider also claimed that the style icon said Kim would only appear in the esteemed magazine "over her dead body".
Kim and Anna's feud has been well documented in the past.
The 'Keeping Up With The Kardashians' star was banned from attending the star-studded Met Gala in New York in 2012 because Anna believed she "didn't fit the bill," and she was only invited to the annual event last year because Kanye was performing.
A source said at the time: "Anna hates Kim. Why would she be invited to the event? It is all the biggest stars in the world and Kim doesn't fit that bill at all. The Met Gala is $25,000 a ticket, but Kim couldn't even buy her way in."
The fashion editor also allegedly ignored Kim at New York Fashion Week in September 2012, but she recently sat beside Kim's half-sister Kendall Jenner at Topshop's runway show at London Fashion Week suggesting the famous family had finally won her over.

Chris Hemsworth's wife Elsa Pataky has given birth to twin boys.
The 'Thor' star and the Spanish actress, who also have a 22-month-old daughter India Rose, welcomed their sons into the world at Cedars Sinai Medical Center in West Hollywood on Thursday (20.03.14), according to UsMagazine.com.
A spokesperson for the couple confirmed the news but no further information is being released at this time.
An insider previously revealed that two security guards accompanied the couple to the hospital on Thursday afternoon after Elsa went into labour and watched over their private suite.
Proud father Chris, 30, previously gushed about family life and admitted he is happiest when he is with his wife and daughter.
He said: "Being a father is certainly a task. But the best one that I could ever ask for. Being home, being with the family, that's what it's about ... It makes me much more relaxed with work, because I have something that is far more important to me now."
The actor married Elsa, 37, in 2010 after a whirlwind romance.
The blonde beauty went grocery shopping with some family members in Malibu on Monday (17.03.14), before stopping to pick up a healthy green juice.

Lady Gaga has no regrets about hiring a woman to vomit on her.
The 27-year-old star caused controversy when she brought so-called vomit painter Millie Brown on stage during her performance at South By Southwest in Austin, Texas last week to throw up a green liquid all over her, but she maintains it was "art in the purest form."
She told the Today show on Friday (21.03.14): "I guess we weren't completely surprised [by the controversy].
"Millie and I know that not everybody's going to love that performance, but we both really believe in artistic expression and strong identities. And I support her and what she does."
The unusual performance was slammed by former bulimia sufferer Demi Lovato on Twitter, who accused her of glamorising eating disorders.
She tweeted: "Bottom line, it's not 'cool' or 'artsy' at all. Putting the word ART in it isn't a free card to do whatever you want without consequences."
But Lady Gaga argued: "'ARTPOP', my new album, is about bringing art and music together in the spirit of creative rebellion. And for [me and Millie], that performance was art in its purest form. But we totally understand that people won't be into it."
She added: "Did we want the controversy? I suppose it doesn't matter either way. We don't make things for any intention in particular, other than in the spirit of entertaining the crowd and creating something that was really for the moment.
"We sometimes think that there's a perception that what I'm doing is all a big show. And I really truly feel that it's just part of who I am. Every moment of my life is devoted to my music and to my fans, and it's really truly me."

Selena Gomez reportedly can't resist Justin Bieber because he is "very charming".
The 'Come & Get It' hitmaker, 21, felt "very empowered" after checking into a rehab facility for two weeks in January to "clear her mind," but friends aren't surprised she has reunited with her on/off boyfriend because he always knows how to win her back.
A source told People magazine: "He's very charming. I'm not sure what's going on with him right now, but he's very smart, and used to be a very fun and funny kid.
"Whenever they're not talking, he has to do something to get her attention, like posting [a photo of her at the Vanity Fair Oscars party], captioned 'most elegant princess.' He reaches out, then says he's going to come see her and she's like, 'Okay.' It's a pattern on his part. The sad part is, she always goes back to him."
Justin, 20, who has been dating Selena on and off since 2010, also dedicated a song to the brunette beauty during a surprise performance in Texas earlier this month.
He turned up at the Banger's Sausage House and Beer Garden in Austin for the South by Southwest festival and sang his hit 'As Long As You Love Me' for his "baby", who was standing in the wings.
But Selena's friends, including her best pal Taylor Swift, are sick of the drama and want her to end her relationship with Justin for good.
The insider said: "I believe Taylor's gotten fed up with it. [Swift and Gomez] still talk, but she doesn't want to hear about it anymore."
Selena's family also want her to move on but don't know how to help her.
The source said: "They feel like they've done all they could for her, and there's nothing else to do. At this point, she has to figure it out on her own."

Speaking on 'The Ellen DeGeneres Show' on Thursday. J.Lo said: "They just turned six the other day, so they are getting way too big for me. I don't know what I'm going to do.
"They had their birthday at a trampoline place, you know the ones where you go and jump on the trampolines all day? They loved it."
The 44-year-old actress - who is divorced from her kids' dad, Marc Anthony - believes the secret to keeping her children quiet at home is too make them do strenuous, but fun, physical activity everyday.
She added: "I loved it they were asleep by eight o'clock. I was like 'Woah!' I'm going to do this every weekend."

The actress and fitness video pioneer had a difficult upbringing after he mother took her own life before she became a teenager and she says her father, actor Henry Fonda, was distant and difficult.
Fonda, now 76, also claims her stepmother would insinuate she was overweight which resulted in her developing having self-esteem issues and developing bulimia.
She told People magazine: "I never felt pretty or confident. My dad wouldn't tell me [I looked fat] directly; he would have his wife tell me that my bathing suit was too small or my belt was too tight or my skirt was too short. I became bulimic and anorexic, the whole thing."
Jane - who has now written a self-help book for youngsters called 'Being a Teen' - didn't learn how to love herself or laugh about herself until much later in life.
She explained: "God, I was a serious child. It took [ex-husband] Ted Turner to teach me how to have a sense of humour."
When asked if she could say one thing to her parents, what would it be? Jane replied: "I would say, 'I need you to love me'. But I've talked to a [medium] who has communicated with my mother, and she's so proud of me. My dad's always with me, I know they're both proud."

Britain's Prince Philip told a group of dancing pensioners their routine for Queen Elizabeth looked ''exhausting''.
The Duke of Edinburgh was impressed that the women, all over 60, could take on the energetic piece when they visited the new £19.6 million home of contemporary dance company, Rambert, on London's South Bank.
The prince chatted to the group of women, including 66-year-old retired school teacher, Lynda How, from north London.
Lynda told the Daily Telegraph newspaper: ''The Duke asked us why we do it as it looked exhausting.
"He also asked how did we know when to stop, perhaps when we dropped.
''I danced when I was younger at social events and still love it, it's incredible fun, keeps you fit and it's social.''
The royal couple met the community group, Mercury Movers, during a tour of the building, after it was moved from Chiswick, west London.
They watched as the elderly women danced to 'Mr Bojangles', performed by Sammy Davis Jnr, and copied a qualified dance teacher.
Before unveiling a plaque to mark the opening of the building, the Queen and Philip also watched a group of younger dancers performing part of a new piece.
