The best career advice I’ve received is…Be passionate about what you do, and the rest will follow.
Three qualities that got me where I am today as a skincare entrepreneur are…I love creating, thinking outside of the box, and working hard.
Easiest career decision I ever made is…pulling the trigger on deciding to do a skincare brand because I’m passionate about making a difference in people’s skin and I love seeing the glow they get with my products.
What is influencing me creatively in the beauty business right now is…“Skincare” as opposed to “make up”.
How I made my first dollar…instead of having a lemonade stand, I sold salads I made to the neighbors. Vinegar dressing on greens with…bananas. It was terrible, but hey, I was six and I was encouraged by the enthusiastic response. Of course, that was the first response, and then I segued into other ventures after people quit answering their door.
Last thing I binge/marathon watched…Fargo.
If I lived in a foreign city it would be…Paris.
What everyone/man/woman should try in her lifetime is…Doing something out of her comfort zone. At times, I deal with anxiety and try to remember to tell myself, “What’s the worst that can come out of this?”
If I could compete in an Olympic sport it would be…It’s not part of the games, but it would be finding treasures in thrift shops and if that ever became the case, I would win a gold medal.
If I weren’t doing what I do I would…Be a professional aesthetician or textile designer.
Book that left a lasting impression on me…French magazines. My mom subscribed to L’ Officiel, Femina, and French Elle. As a child that’s what I pored over, sitting next to my mom.
A celebrity I would prank phone call and what I would ask them is…J. Lo and ask how she gets her glow.
My style icon is…Iris Apfel.
My personal style signifier is…My mom. I loved her style, her art, and her designs.
The classic designer I wish was still designing today would be…Halston and the 70’s caftan era.
The last meal that truly impressed me was…Made by my guy. He’s a fabulous cook and made a recent special meal of grilled steak and veggies.
In my fridge you will always find…Champagne.
My perfect day would end…With a massage.
On my tombstone it will say…Every piece of furniture has potential, especially if painted gold. (It’s a metaphor for life and how I view its ongoing potential).
