WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU FELT INSPIRED?

I was recently on a trip to Europe with my girl friends. The last time we traveled together was three years ago, and it felt so great to be able to take the time out of all our busy lives and reconnect! It was energizing and inspiring to spend the time just focused on the four of us as individuals apart from the rest of our lives (kids, jobs, partners) to remind ourselves of what makes us unique to ourselves!

WHAT DO YOU VALUE THE MOST ABOUT YOURSELF AND WHY?

I’m a pretty decisive person which is usually a great thing as it helps me prioritize all the different day to day responsibilities I have! It’s way too easy to be pulled in a million different directions when you’re an entrepreneur and a mom, so it can be really beneficial to make efficient decisions. That being said, it’s also important for me to pause and reflect and pivot if needed.

WHAT'S ONE THING YOU THINK OTHER PEOPLE OVERVALUE?

I think people overvalue influence! I don’t mean in the sense of “social media influence” though that’s a small part of it. I mean the ability to control others around you and their impact on ourselves. In a world where it’s so easy to hear both positive and negative comments, I hope we can remind ourselves that negativity doesn’t have the power to influence our own actions!

WHAT DOES THE WORD 'WELLBEING' MEAN TO YOU?

For me it’s about taking care of ourselves both inside and out. It’s everywhere from what I eat, how I sleep, my beauty routine, and of course my mental routine. It’s about giving priority and time to these efforts which result in an overall better baseline quality of life for me!

WHAT IS YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH WATER?

My answer is actually similar to my thought on wellbeing actually! Water of course is so important for hydration (I’m a diehard warm lemon water as the first thing I ingest in the morning kind of person) but it’s also so helpful for overall physical wellbeing. If I'm feeling cranky nothing perks me up more than a hot shower!

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

I would love to find enough time in the day to be able to have physical exercise every morning, but unfortunately that’s not possible with work and kids! So far, I’ve gotten it up to about four times a week. For me this is anywhere from a short run, playing tennis, or even just a morning walk.

WHAT WOULD YOUR STARTER PACK INCLUDE?

A cozy bed, loungewear, coffee with a lot of milk and sugar, a tennis racket, cheerleading on the sidelines for my kids’ activities (so I guess pom poms?), and of course Fur’s Ingrown Concentrate.

HAVE YOU HAD ANY INTERESTING SHOWER THOUGHTS LATELY?

My latest, most interesting shower thought was for a new Fur product launch idea for the end of 2026. Unfortunately, that’s really all I can say about it at this point but stay tuned!
