Draya explained to BET that her approach to health is ultimately about balance. “I am six months pescatarian. I’ve tried to limit my chicken and red meat consumption a lot. I try to drink a lot of water. I try to work out. My downfalls are sweets. I really love sweets. And alcohol goes with partying. If I’m going to drink, I try to diet. If I’m not going to diet, I try to skip dessert,” she said. “Dieting is always going to be a struggle, so that’s why you have to balance it with working out. I don’t eat whatever I want, but if I do eat whatever I want, I at least got to work out to make it even.”

Bryant shared her secrets for taking skincare products with her while traveling to E! Online. “I have everything in travel sizes. A beauty hack of mine is that when I go to my esthetician, I go ‘Where are the product samples?’ Always ask for the product samples. Those one-use packs of skincare products are great for travel. So, then I don't need to bring all of my products. I just have these little packs. I put those in my little bag so I don't have to bring my big makeup bag. Ladies, when you go to your esthetician, ask for samples. If they say they don't have them, they're lying.”

5. She Removes Her Makeup

Bryant tells E! Online that she makes sure to remove her makeup. She shared some of her favorite tips and products for doing so. "I have a lot of makeup on because it needs to hold up under the lights. I use the makeup wipes first. Then, I started using this balm from True Botanicals. The makeup melts right off. It's soft and it's kind of oily a little bit. It's heaven. It works so well. I wash my face with Cetaphil just to make sure all the makeup and dirt are gone. It's just a tried and true product."
