She loves Mario Badescu. “I don’t let anybody else clean my face or give me a facial [other] than the Romanian ladies at Mario Badescu.”

She wakes up 4 a.m. and starts her day with a thorough routine. “First, after I take my shower, I spray myself completely with CBD tonic — head to toe, the whole thing.
