Ricki Lake is having her “best” day ever.

The former talk show host took to Instagram on Monday to show off not just her heart and soul but also her skin.

Lake, 54, sat naked in an outdoor bathtub and embraced herself as she smiled and looked up at the towering redwoods that surrounded her in the photograph.

“Hands down, these are the best days of my life,” she wrote.

“I am 54 1/2 years old (young!).” I’m grateful for everything that happened to get me here. “A place of total self-acceptance and self-love,” she went on.

Lake began her self-love quest in 2019, but she didn’t go public until 2022.

She posted a never-before-seen video of herself shaving her head in December 2022. The clip was taken in 2019. She disclosed in the video’s description that she had been discreetly battling androgenetic alopecia, a hair loss disorder she had been dealing with for 30 years.

“I’ve never shared this raw video footage before, but I felt like I wanted to now, for those of you who have followed my story and have been invested in it,” Lake said in the description. “Some of you know my personal struggle all too well, and I want you to know that I truly understand.”

“In this video, you can see me come to a place of peace, liberation, and, most importantly, self-love and self-acceptance.”

Lake’s hair has grown back in since she shaved her head, and she has come to appreciate her “natural gray and sometimes wild, unruly head of hair.”

“May all of you who are struggling with whatever you are struggling with find peace and acceptance.” “Life is far too short.”

This is an extremely crucial reminder! Life is too brief to be concerned with things we can’t alter. We must learn to accept ourselves for who we are, warts and all.
