SHOWER THOUGHTS

WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU FELT INSPIRED?

Focusing on "The last time" I was inspired is easy to answer because I find inspiration almost daily. I walk along the beach first thing most mornings and just witnessing the joggers, the swimmers, the surfers, the cyclist, the walkers and the meditators all up at sunrise starting their day in a very intentional way is absolutely inspirational to me. It makes me feel connected to all of them and that we are connected through our natural surroundings. Another daily source is watching the women I get to work with give their all to bringing Tulip to life. They are all incredibly capable, kind and intelligent women and I am beyond inspired by everyone of them.

WHAT DO YOU VALUE THE MOST ABOUT YOURSELF AND WHY?

I am an authentically curious human and I do really like that about myself. It makes wondering through this one precious life so much more entertaining and fulfilling.

WHAT'S ONE THING YOU THINK OTHER PEOPLE OVERVALUE?

I am a pretty practical person and struggle wrapping my head around designer hand bags. I'm not saying I'm right, I just rather go on an adventure.

WHAT DOES THE WORD 'WELLBEING' MEAN TO YOU?

Wellbeing = Self Love = doing what feeds your soul, mind and body. And of course a shot of tequila every once in a while.

WHAT IS YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH WATER?

I love water in all forms of course but my favorite form is a mountain stream. Relating that to Jolie, I always notice that when I wash my hair in mountain water, it's so much softer. It's the same with my Jolie shower head.

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

I would be better at taking my vitamins.

WHAT WOULD YOUR STARTER PACK INCLUDE?

Barefoot beach walk first thing every morning, Erykah Badu, Yoga Soup in Santa Barbara, "How I Built This" Podcast, my Lyma Laser, Tulips - obviously, Altra Trail running shoes, Chocolate boxes from Altmann and Kuhne, Apothia Candle in "Soul", Dancing always and everywhere, Patagonia puffy, All Things Noguchi, Reading "Feed Me" by Emily Sundberg daily Bedsheets from D Porthault.

HAVE YOU HAD ANY INTERESTING SHOWER THOUGHTS LATELY?

How lucky I am to have a shower.
