1. She Has One Day To Herself

Ray shared some of her favorite wellness practices with Heatworld. She says that she likes to set aside one day a week for herself. “I love to take a hot bath, moisturise, curl up in my robe, and de-stress after a busy week. And of course, hang out with my pets. I’m a huge animal fanatic and grew up on a ranch in Colorado surrounded by them, so spending as much time as possible with them is really important to me. It’s my favourite pastime."

2. She Doesn't Use Certain Products

Ray makes sure to take care of her skin. She tells Heatworld that she is very particular about what products she uses. "Growing up I struggled with acne and dry skin,” Ray explains. “So skincare has always been something that’s fascinated me. Topical solutions just never seemed to work quite right, and I always wanted to avoid heavy medications or chemicals.”

3. She Stays Hydrated

5. She Wants To Inspire Women

Ray has a lot of followers on Instagram. And she wants to use her platform for good. She tells Cosmopolitan that she wants to encourage others to find self-acceptance. "I don’t want to motivate women to look like me,” she says. “I want them to love themselves the way I do. Society puts on pressure to look and be a certain way. You're at your best when you are confident in yourself."
