1. She Always Wants To Improve
Bailey has a lot of success, and she still wants more. She tells Complex that she and her sister, Chloe, are always trying to improve themselves. “We have to realize we can always do better. Always grow. Constantly remind ourselves.” "Give your brain new challenges. Feed it new knowledge and focus it for longer periods of time. These exercises create new and denser connections of neurons, which will make your brain more powerful. Also, ask yourself if you see challenges as an opportunity or a threat," says the Mayo Clinic.
2. She’s Vegan

Bailey and her sister are both vegan. She tells Complex that her mother inspired her to make this switch in her diet. “Being vegan started from our mother. One day she was like, ‘I’m gonna try to be vegetarian for a week. You can join me if you’d like.’ We started the week with her and just never went back.”
3. She Wants To Inspire Others
