I get inspired every single day. We live in the best city in the world—New York City! I love riding the train and looking at everyone. I love watching girls do their makeup on the train and talking to each other in the bathroom of a bar. My kids inspire me—their brains are crazy! I love the way they see the world. I also just came back from Seoul with my team. That was extremely enriching from a work lens and also, personally, was deeply needed.

That I’m empathetic? I worked in corporate fashion for 15 years—like a dog. I got ten days off a year and worked 14-hour days. And although I’ll always value my experience and time in that world, I also love my life now, where I can take care of people (in the skincare studio) and create the working environment I want to be in with my team. I love being a mom and taking care of these two boys!

Waiting for the "right time" to start something — this applies to everything, by the way: work projects, personal goals, everything. Build the ship as you're sailing! There's never a right time for anything. Quit procrastinating and DO IT. I've always been someone who just gets to it — and sometimes it's not it, and that's okay. At least it was attempted? Most of the time, it works out! The idea of getting to old age and having a life of what ifs really freaks me out. I go in, and I go hard.

To double down on that — wellbeing, for me, is about getting to the “I’ll do that someday” and “I need to get that going” lists. Habit stacking — whether it’s taking supplements, carving out time to read, work out, lie down, or whatever you truly love to do (but often can’t because of work or family needs) — me time is incredibly important. And if not now — when? Also, I can’t emphasize enough: you need to take care of yourself in your 20s and 30s to look good in your 40s. Wear the sunscreen. Quit the cigs (have some in your 20s — whatever, enjoy that phase — but definitely quit by your 30s :-)). Cut down on the drinking. Lift heavy weights a couple times a week. Stop worrying about getting super skinny and eat loads of vegetables and fiber — this will make your skin look great. And stop over-supplementing, too.

I'm a Cancer so being by water is important to me. I grew up in Wales never not far from a beach and I've always loved being beside the sea. I have two tiny kids and the answer to most problems is water. Kids acting out? Get them in the bath/ outdoors with the hose, play with ice cubes, etc. I'm addicted to my outdoor shower in my house in the summer too- it's always sad when I have to close it for the winter and always a joy to open it back up every April.

I always say if I could someone to do my hair every day for me that would be peak dream life for me. a blow out, an updo- I'm always fighting with my hair and would just love glam every morning lol. A girl can dream.

I have lots of interesting shower thoughts. I’m mostly thinking about work and creative direction for my team on funny campaigns. This is crazy, but I only tend to shower outdoors at my house—if I’m inside, I prefer a bath. So I’m always outdoors in my shower, and I love that vibe. I’m always thinking about how luxurious it is to shower outside, be in nature, and just... vibing. A breeze through the wooden slats... it’s awesome. An ice-cold shower beer is also an elite experience—I highly encourage everyone to try it at least once in their life.
