Claws star Niecy Nash had cause for double celebration while vacationing in Mexico. The 48-year-old actress, who is set to receive a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame on July 11, also discovered her hit TNT show Claws has been renewed for a third season. Nicey was at the Grand Fiesta Americana Coral Beach in Cancun with her family when she heard about the renewal news on July 2. During the trip the star was seen acting up on the beach, while parading her curvaceous figures in a bright orange ensemble. She was joined by her parents, three kids, husband Jay Tucker and her actress “sister” Kellee Stewart, of the NBC series Midnight Texas. Niecy and her family also spent an afternoon on a yacht snorkeling at Isla Mujeres and swimming with dolphins during the trip and was even surprised with a Walk of Fame-themed chocolate cake handcrafted by the resort’s pastry chef, Gerardo Rosas.  At the end of her trip Nicey celebrated Claws being renewed for a third season over dinner in nearby Playa Del Carmen at the trendy Sonora Grill Prime.  EDITORS NOTE: Resort: Grand Fiesta Americana Coral Beach. 02 Jul 2018 Pictured: Claws star Niecy Nash spotted on vacation at the Grand Fiesta Americana Coral Beach in Cancun, Mexico, on July 2, 2018.

I APOLOGIZE to myself! I bought a new swimsuit and tried it on last night, then proceeded to Drag Myself😩- pointing out every "flaw", every bump, lump, scar, ripple & stretch mark. Then u heard my sisters voice @kstew222 in my head say "watch what you say about MY sister"….then I remembered that my body will hear everything my mind thinks about it…. then I thought about my dear sister friend @daniebb3 and how she celebrates her chocolatey thickness ( she's so fine!)😘…then I changed my conversation with myself: These hips caught two husbands (and a few boos) 😏, my thighs touch but I gained weight having good food with great people👅. I see my c-section scar peeking out ( thank you @thekatvond for putting a tattoo over it) but it's a reminder that I brought 3 beautiful children into the world 👶🏽 I allowed my stretch marks to whisper " you are a grown ass women who has survived a few thangs & STRETCHED in ways you never thought you could" My mom always said "They don't teach "Kind" in school, you gotta learn that on your own". Loving your body can be a rollercoaster ride ESPECIALLY WITHOUT A FILTER! but…With all that said I purpose to be kinder to myself today then I was yesterday…. tomorrow i'ma try to keep the it going "I love you Niecy"❤❤❤❤❤

“I APOLOGIZE to myself! I bought a new swimsuit and tried it on last night, then proceeded to Drag Myself😩- pointing out every “flaw”, every bump, lump, scar, ripple & stretch mark,” she wrote on a slideshow of herself looking FIERCE in a black one-piece that says “if lost: please return me to my squad.”

Luckily she turned that negative thinking around! “Then I heard my sisters voice @kstew222 in my head say “watch what you say about MY sister”….then I remembered that my body will hear everything my mind thinks about it…. then I thought about my dear sister friend @daniebb3 and how she celebrates her chocolaty thickness ( she’s so fine!)😘…then I changed my conversation with myself.”
