1. Happy Weight Gain

Ratajkowski’s stress manifests itself in weight loss, she says. "When I'm really unwell, I lose so much weight,” she says. “For me, [gaining weight] is a huge game-changer, and it's how I know I'm happy. I think trauma lives in the body. That's my experience."

2. Group Workout Classes

When it comes to working out, Ratajkowski thrives in a class environment. “I’m one of those people who, if I go to the gym by myself, there’s a 50/50 chance of me actually working out and really pushing myself,” she says. “So the class environment works really, really well for me."

3. Lots of Iron

Ratajkowski prioritizes iron in her diet. “I crave iron so I am definitely not the kind of person who you will find eating a salad,” she says. “I like to keep it really balanced to give my body energy and also be healthy. I cook a lot, so that really helps: You know how much salt and sugar and all of that kind of stuff you are putting in your body.”

4. Mindful of Phone Time

Ratajkowski makes sure to keep her phone out of the bedroom for less stress and anxiety and better sleep. “If you can, try putting your phone on ‘do not disturb’ mode or silent when you go to bed,” says SCL Health. “Because even though you may not be on it, the text alerts, game notifications or email buzzes can interrupt your deep sleep.”

5. Black Coffee

Ratajkowski loves black coffee to kick start her day. Drinking coffee black is a great way to get a caffeine boost while keeping calories and sugar at a minimum. “For women, drinking at least one cup of coffee a day is associated with lowered stroke risk, which is the fourth leading cause of death in women,’ says Johns Hopkins Medicine.

1. She Keeps Her Skincare Routine Simple

Ratajkowski has incredible skin, and she makes sure to take care of it. She revealed to Vogue that she has learned to keep her skincare routine pretty simple, after trying a bunch of things at home."In quarantine, I went crazy and ordered a bunch of skincare products. One of the things I've learned about beauty: I just need the basics and for them to be really good. That was one of the ways that my skin freaked out because I was overusing products."

2. She Loves Face Masks

Ratajkowksi tells New Beauty that she loves to use face masks. She says that she loves the LOOPS brand in particular. “What I love about LOOPS is that it’s a mask that I can throw on for 15 minutes while I’m answering calls from bed. Or even like this morning—I had kind of a hectic morning and I was making my bed and running around having my coffee and taking calls, and I kept the face mask on while I was doing all of that, then I took it off and did my makeup.”

3. She Washes Her Face Gently, And Only Once A Day

Ratajkowski tells New Beauty that she makes sure to wash her face. She says that she only does so once a day, and makes sure to be gentle on her skin. “I used to think washing your face was really, really important—and I do still—but I think you should only wash it once a day at night, and really lightly. Because otherwise, at least for my skin, it strips my skin of the natural oils and makes my skin breakout because it dries. So I do wash my face at night, but I think simplifying it is better [for your skin]. Oh, and use cold water—not hot! That’s my new trick.”

4. She Loves Fitness Classes

Ratajkowski tells InStyle that she loves to go to fitness classes in order to help her stay in shape. “I'm one of those people who, if I go to the gym by myself, there's a 50/50 chance of me actually working out and really pushing myself, so the class environment works really, really well for me.” One of Ratajkowski’s favorite classes is STRONG classes from Zumba.

5. She Works Out To Help Herself Sleep

Ratajkowski loves to work out at night, and she told InStyle that it helps her sleep better. "For me, the way I sleep afterwards is one of the main reasons to work out,” she says. “I am always on my phone working and I think that's affected my sleep. I'm also really light-sensitive. When I work out, it's better than taking a melatonin. Because my body has worked hard, my brain finally rests and I think that is so valuable in this day and age — not to sound like an old geezer, but truly I feel that way."

Emily Ratajkowski is taking some time to enjoy the sun, sea, and sand at the beach—and she’s got the selfies to prove it. Ratajkowski, 32, shared a picture of herself sunbathing in a brown and white patterned bikini, her tan legs covered with sand against a background of blue skies and ocean water. The model is thriving while extending her creative endeavors into writing and podcasts—how does she have the energy? Here are 5 ways Ratajkowski is living her best life.

1. No Dieting

Ratajkowski’s weight is directly related to her state of mind, and she refuses to diet. “When I’m stressed or going through a tough time I naturally eat less,” she says. “And the reverse [happens] when I’m happy. My relationship with food is inseparable from my level of happiness.”

2. Yes To Botox

Ratajkowski is glad women are being more open about cosmetic procedures such as Botox and fillers. “For people who don't live in New York or L.A., Botox seems really extreme,” she says. “But even now, all my friends in San Diego, my hometown, they get Botox. It's so normal. I mean, I was terrified. But I was also like, everybody looks great. My best friends were getting Botox and I wanted to try it. With plastic surgery in general, the way we talk about what's normal and taboo has completely changed. It's what I mentioned on the [High Low with EmRata podcast] episode. Like, nose job check. Even Doja Cat tweeted about how she's going to get surgery to get a breast lift. I think there's something really nice about how open women are being.”

3. She Loves Her Moles and Freckles

Ratajkowski keeps her makeup routine light, avoiding heavy foundations, and emphasizes her moles and freckles. “I try not to use that much on my skin,” she says. “I don't use foundation. I'll use concealer, but it ends up being rubbed out over my whole face. I use Gucci Westman's bronzer stick. Then I use Patrick Ta's blush. I apply it with my fingers, then on the center of my cheeks and over my nose. I have a Milk highlighter that has never run out, I've had it for years and God bless it. I use an eyebrow pencil on my lips to line them and I also use that to darken my moles and freckles.”

4. Her Number 1 Tip For Women

Ratajkowski’s best tip for women is to have self-confidence. “I think women are still terribly lacking [in this area] compared with men,” she says. “We have this internal critic and we have a hard time silencing it. We are afraid of what people will say and of appearing stupid when we open our mouths. We focus on what others will think of us – badly, of course. However, most of the time they probably think… nothing at all!"

5. Writing Changed Her Life

Ratajkowski says writing made a difference in figuring out who she really was. “When I started writing, that helped,” she says. “I wasn't fulfilled in my career and in my life. It was a really hard time for me. I had made all this money. I was famous. I was 'successful' in all of these ways that people tell you should make you happy. Realizing that I wasn't and I wasn't fulfilled, I had to figure out what would make me happy.”
