Mindy Kaling is making the best of warm weather by spending her day soaking up some sun poolside.

The actress took to social media to provide a glimpse of what looked to be a relaxing vacation, surrounded by other families also getting pool time in.

In her fresh-faced and radiant selfie, she was wearing a red swimsuit from Andie Swim, a brand which counts Demi Moore and her daughters as their proud ambassadors.

She simply added a few flower emojis to her caption, alluding to the fact that she was vacaying in Hawaii, which she revealed in an earlier post, and many of her fans quickly deemed her "Beautiful" or "Gorgeous."

The trip is well deserved, coming after a busy couple weeks for the actress and comedienne, who presented at the 95th Academy Awards on March 12.

Soon after, she received the National Medal of Arts for her work from President Joe Biden, visiting the White House with her rarely-seen children, Katherine "Kit" Swati, five, and Spencer, two, for the occasion.

Overcome with emotion, 43-year-old Mindy shared a heartfelt dedication on social media, writing: "A little while ago, I got a call from Dr. Maria Rosario Jackson that the National Endowment of the Arts and the office of the President wanted to give me the National Medal of Arts for my work in television and as an author.

"I'm still processing how to receive the news. Yesterday, I went with my family to receive the medal at the White House. To hear the President speak about my parents, their journey to the United States, my late mother's dreams for me, and the power of comedy to make people understand each other was almost too much to take in. It didn't feel real! 

"I mean, I was sitting next to GLADYS KNIGHT. I guess I just want to express my heartfelt gratitude to @potus, @neaarts and @kamalaharris. And to say I promise to spend the rest of my life earning this medal because I don't feel like I've earned it yet."

Mindy continued: "I wish my mom could have been there, but what are you gonna do. Nothing is perfect, but yesterday was pretty close. I love everyone. Thanks @katelinden, Vinay Reddy and @picsschmicks for helping it all happen."
