Daily Uniform: If I could wear one thing every day, it’d be a pair of Jesse Kamm sailor pants in salt (white) with a white linen button-down. I know that’s boring, so I switch it up from time to time, but that’s my ideal outfit. 

AM ritual: The first thing I do when I wake up is make myself an iced americano. My morning coffee is one of the only rituals I have, so I make sure to take my time with it and sit and enjoy it. This usually means I’m playing with my dog or sitting outside. Once I’m done with my coffee, I get started with my workday by washing my face, applying moisturizer, and getting dressed. 

PM wind down: I have to have a bath every night. I’m one of those people who exclusively takes baths because I find them to be the most relaxing, detached from society thing that I can do for myself. 

Something that helps you stay in a positive mindset: Spending time with my friends and loved ones. This past year has taught me how important real-life, in-person connections with friends and family are. 

A life-changing realization: Nothing is permanent. 

A wellness expert who has significantly helped you: My therapist because she helps me see things more clearly and has a whole-body approach. I think it’s so important to have someone who can help you see things from another perspective. 

Favorite wellness/beauty book: I don’t have a book, but if Katie Jane Hughes wrote one, it would be my favorite book because she’s my ultimate wellness guru. 

Go-to stress remedy: A long, hot bath! I also suffer from random bouts of anxiety, and I’ve recently found that these CBD mints by Mr. Moxey’s really help me. 

Three things you’re really into right now: Mornings at the beach, long drives with no real destination, and saying “Yes” more often. 

Top three favorite online shops: Hawkins New York, Coming Soon and Credo.

Top three Instagram accounts for inspiration: 

@piariverola because her photos transport me.

@thishumidhouse because they’re one of the best floristry teams in the world IMO.

@alyssainthecity because she’s one of the best fashion influencers out there. Her style is relatable, and her content isn’t over-the-top or inauthentic. 

Your ultimate indulgence: Cheese and bread! 

Three things you’re grateful for:  My home, my career, and my health.
