SHOWER THOUGHTS

WITH Lily Geiger
Lily was born and raised in New York City and spent the start of her career in Los Angeles working for brands such as Beautycounter, APL, Heyday, and Summer Fridays. 

After a lifetime of watching her father battle alcoholism and eventually losing him to the disease, Lily started Figlia in 2020.

WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU FELT INSPIRED?

I usually feel inspired every time I go visit my mom in The Berkshires. I spent all of COVID there and think it is the thing that lead me to start Figlia. My mom has so many books and photos and always inspires me creatively. I owe a lot of my interest in things, music, books, etc. to her. She always knows whats cool. I also love getting to be outside and walking around her neighborhood or laying in her backyard with our dog.

WHAT DO YOU VALUE THE MOST ABOUT YOURSELF AND WHY?

The fact that I'm a born and bred New Yorker! I feel like growing up in NYC has taught me so much, especially when it comes to street smart + work ethic - nothing ever comes too easy here. I also value my sense of humor - its the only thing that keeps me going!

WHAT'S ONE THING YOU THINK OTHER PEOPLE OVERVALUE?

Networking/going to events all the time. I think it is important in doses or when you know it will lead to something important but otherwise, I need my peace and quiet after the workday and feel so depleted at the end of the week where I have something to go to every night.

WHAT DOES THE WORD 'WELLBEING' MEAN TO YOU?

Wellbeing means listening to your body! This goes for all things mental, physical and emotional. Only you can know what is best for you.

WHAT IS YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH WATER?

I'm a pisces so <33 I love being near water and grew up going to my grandparent's lake house, where my cousins and I spent most of our days outside and in the lake. I also love swimming the ocean but get a bit more nervous if it gets choppy. I also grew up on Riverside Drive and had a view of the Hudson in my childhood home, which I totally took for granted. I used to sit in the windowsill every day and watch boats go by. When it comes to a shower, I pretty much have to take one every single night before getting into bed because it really calms me down and I like the feeling of being clean before getting into bed.

IF YOU COULD CHANGE ONE THING ABOUT YOUR DAILY ROUTINE, WHAT WOULD THAT BE?

Getting up earlier! I am already an early riser but wonder what it would be like to get up Kris Jenner early and have more of a morning but feel like I would also crash come 4pm.

WHAT WOULD YOUR STARTER PACK INCLUDE?

A red Moleskin notebook (large size), coffee from home, Peter Shire mug, green tea, OG Apple headphones (with wires), navy Adidas Campus Sneakers, black velvet scrunchies, Weleda Skin Food face cream, Marni woven bag, FIGLIA!

HAVE YOU HAD ANY INTERESTING SHOWER THOUGHTS LATELY?

I wouldn't call this "interesting" but I'm usually mapping out what I should make for dinner.
