Glee star Lea Michele seems to be making good on her promise to "relax and recharge" in 2014.

The 27-year-old actress posted a new pic of herself while vacationing in Mexico on Instagram Jan.3. While holding onto a palm tree and twirling her curly hair, the actress bared her derriere in a revealing two-piece thong bikini.

"What an amazing week in Mexico...New day. New Year. #Bringit2014" she captioned the snap-shot.

The pic comes just a few weeks after the singer posted another snapshot of her bare feet propped on a table as she sat in front of a roaring fire. The actress captioned that pic with a promise to start relaxing and recharging.

"After an amazing past few weeks, it's time to put my feet up to recharge, relax and breath in some fresh air," she wrote.

Michele has been busy in recent months as she films scenes for FOX's hit musical show, currently in its fifth season.

She has also been making the press circuit to promote her debut album, Louder, which is set to hit shelves March 4.

Two singles, Cannonball and Battlefield, have already been released from the album.

2013 become a tough year for the star after her Glee co-star and off-screen boyfriend, Cory Monteith, died July 13 of a mixed drug toxicity from heroin and alcohol. The 31-year-old was found in a Vancouver hotel room.

The star channeled her grief to add two new songs to her album in her late boyfriend's honor, You're Mine and If You Say So.

She has also opened up about how her parents have helped her cope with her loss, and how she is trying to live her life now the way Monteith would have expected her to.

"I really feel like I'm still trying to figure out all this. It's only been a few months, but my mom has experienced a lot of loss in her life and she told me at one point, there is an empowerment that comes with grief-at some point you find it," she said.

"It's very hard but you will find it, and I think at a certain point you can choose to sort of fall from this or you can choose to rise. And that's what I'm just trying to do my best for him, because I know that that's what he would have wanted," she added.

Glee returns with all new episodes on Tuesday, Feb. 25.
