WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU FELT INSPIRED?

The last time I was inspired was actually just yesterday while scrolling through Instagram. I discovered the incredible artist @jaesukkim, and his work completely transported me—yet at the same time, it grounded me in the present moment. His fashion illustrations and overall artistry are truly inspiring. They make me want to be the best version of myself—the best artist I can possibly be.

WHAT DO YOU VALUE THE MOST ABOUT YOURSELF AND WHY?

I do have this characteristic of being able to roll with the punches—as well as the accolades—without taking it all to heart. Yes, I can initially react and feel the feelings, but then I try to focus on the reality that what others think of me is none of my business

WHAT'S ONE THING YOU THINK OTHER PEOPLE OVERVALUE?

This is a good question! I really feel that, in our society, people overvalue having strong affirmative or negative opinions on everything. Of course, I’m generalizing, but too many people feel like they have to either love or hate something. Why can’t we just live and let live? I truly believe we’d be much better off if we all respected and loved each other—even in the moments when we don’t necessarily like each other.

WHAT DOES THE WORD 'WELLBEING' MEAN TO YOU?

The word wellbeing, for me, means not being in HALT mode (hungry, angry, lonely, tired). So, to affirmatively answer the question, I believe that being nourished, happy, embraced, and rested is what wellbeing means to me.

WHAT IS YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH WATER?

My relationship with water is a rich one, since I began swimming at the age of 18 months. I’ve always loved to immerse myself in water—such fluidity, that buoyant weight passing over my skin… it's so cleansing and so nourishing for us on every level.

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

If I could change one thing about my daily routine, it would be listening to even more music! On average, I’d say I listen to more music than most people, but I grew up singing in church and doing lots of musical theater. Music has always been a big inspiration to me—I just can’t get enough.

WHAT WOULD YOUR STARTER PACK INCLUDE?

Jolie showerhead, iS Clinical eye complex, Shiseido day cream, A313 hand cream, Rohto eye drops, Lumify eye redness relief

HAVE YOU HAD ANY INTERESTING SHOWER THOUGHTS LATELY?

My time in the shower is also part of my daily meditation, where I connect with the Universe. I ask to be HOW—honest, open, and willing—and that serves as a good guide for my day.
