Where do you live?
New York City.
Where do you feel most zen?
Wherever I am with my friends and family.
Favorite park/hike?
When I’m in New York, I love walking in Central Park. It really helps me relax. When I’m on the West Coast, I love walking or hiking anywhere with views of the water.
Favorite beach?
I love the beach in Malibu. It is beautiful and calming.
Favorite relaxing getaway?
I love spending time outdoors surrounded by the beauty of nature. The year-round sunshine in L.A. is perfect.
Favorite health food fix?
I love a green juice from Erewhon.
Favorite comfort food? From where?
A burger and French fries from The Polo Lounge.
Do you follow a diet?
I do not, but I pay attention to what I eat. I try to be as healthy as I can be while still enjoying food I love.
Favorite beverage? From where?
Iced coffee from Alfred.
Favorite hotel?
The Beverly Hills Hotel. I love the iconic atmosphere, old school glamour, and delicious food.
Favorite workout?
Pilates. I try to do a Pilates class at least three times a week.
Favorite spa? Treatment?
Facials always make my skin look so hydrated and refreshed. Joomee Song does a Re-Nutriv facial that is one of my favorites.
Where do you take visiting friends?
Palisades Village is one of my favorite places to walk around. I love that it feels local and inviting. We just opened our first West Coast retail location here, and I am excited to share the AERIN brand’s effortless, feminine sensibility. The store offers a collection of global finds curated exclusively for this location.
What’s in your cosmetics bag?
I am always trying new products that are in development for the brand, as well as classic favorites like Estée Lauder Re-Nutriv, Clinique, and La Mer.
Favorite skincare?
Estée Lauder Re-Nutriv skincare is my favorite, including the Ultimate Diamond Transformative Brilliance Serum, Ultimate Diamond Transformative Brilliance Soft Crème, Rich Foam Cleanser, and Intensive Smoothing Hand Crème. The products are luxurious and hydrating.
Favorite fragrance?
Rose de Grasse is one of my favorite fragrances and continues to be a bestseller for the brand. The rich floral rose scent is timeless and elegant, with notes of Rose Centifolia, Bulgarian Rose, and Rose Absolute. It’s perfect for every occasion.
What’s your mantra?
Everything can be beautiful if you take the time.
