What Sara Foster Does In Her Downtime

The Favorite Daughter cofounder shares her favorite getaways

Interview by KELLY ATTERTON

 

 

Where do you live?
Los Angeles.

Where do you feel most zen?
Under my red light in my robe — just kidding, but not really. I would say a Sunday in Malibu horseback riding with my kids.

Favorite hike?
I love the Santa Monica Stairs. It’s a love-hate relationship.

Favorite beach?
The beaches in Sarasota, Florida, are underrated. The water is like a bathtub and the sand is white.

Favorite relaxing getaway?
I hate flying, so anywhere by car is definitely the least stressful. It’s a toss-up between the Rosewood Miramar and a standard room at the Beverly Hills Hotel to escape my children for a staycation alone.

Favorite health food fix?
I’m really trying to eat less like a teenage boy and am currently doing the Sakara Life reset.

Do you follow a diet?
I believe in leaning into your cravings. That’s probably not good advice, but I’m just being honest.

Favorite hotel?
You can’t go wrong with a Four Seasons. Love the one in Lanai and recently tried the one in Costa Palmas, Cabo San Lucas, and I’m obsessed.

Favorite workout?
Forma Pilates. Just an incredible workout. I would go every day if I could.

Favorite spa? Treatment?
Sensei Spa in Palm Desert is my favorite spa. For a treatment, a Swedish massage. I’m not picky — anything relaxing will do.

Where do you take visiting friends?
I like to leave my house as little as possible, so I try to convince them to come over and sit on my couch with me. But if I must get out of my robe, we usually go to San Vicente Bungalows, Javier’s for Mexican food, or Nobu Malibu if it’s a special occasion.

What’s in your cosmetics bag?
Kosas brow pencil in taupe. Tower 28 cheek stain. I’ve used the YSL Touche Clouet for under the eyes — it’s a classic. Charlotte Tilbury Iconic nude lip pencil and the Favorite Daughter lip oil on top of that. And I finish off with a spray of our Favorite Daughter fragrance Grecian Nights.

Favorite hair products?
I’m very low maintenance when it comes to hair. I don’t even own a blow-dryer. And my biggest splurge is my colorist Sergio Garcia because as I get older, my base color is mousy.

Favorite home items?
Homecourt soap is at every sink because the packaging is stunning and elevates every space. I also have a Barefoot Dreams blanket in every corner.

What are you reading?
Just finished Nicole Avant’s Think You’ll Be Happy. It’s brilliant and so is she.

Favorite podcast?
I would be a bad businesswoman if I didn’t say mine: The World’s First Podcast. I also listen to All In, a finance podcast, religiously.
