She has taken to the platform to share her top tip for surviving the sweltering summer months.
Her advice has struck a chord with those who dread the heat: ice neck rings.
“I wore this thing around my neck every day last summer, pretty much,” Ruby revealed in her viral video.
She now considers the ice neck rings a “summer essential,” particularly as someone who doesn’t enjoy hot weather.
To combat her aversion to the heat, Ruby relies on the reusable ice pack, which is designed to be worn around the neck and helps regulate body temperature.
“If you don’t like hot weather too, or you don’t like getting hot, I’d highly recommend one of these,” she explained.
The cooling accessory is currently available for as little as £2.31 on Temu, and can also be purchased from Amazon and Superdrug.
Ruby shared that she wears the ice pack around her neck constantly, even when at home.
With forecasts predicting soaring temperatures across the UK, Ruby’s advice couldn’t be more timely.
“I’m gonna be wearing this the whole time,” she remarked.
“I would recommend getting one of these beforehand. You can get them online. I got mine online.”
Ruby, who is known as ‘rubygranger8’ on TikTok, garnered 237.4k views within just one day of posting her video.
The clip has also received 175 comments, with many viewers sharing their thoughts on the cooling hack.
One commenter wrote: “Immediately googled ice neck ring.

A third said: “Omg I’ve never seen these—ordering now!”
