Can you tell us a secret no one would guess about you?
I don’t like chocolate.
One meal you could eat everyday?
Bangladeshi-style daal and rice—traditional South Asian lentils and rice. It’s pure comfort food for me.
One vice you wont give up?
I can’t resist a good binge-watch of reality shows—it’s my escape. Shows like 90 Day Fiancé and Love Is Blind will keep me hooked for a whole weekend, and I’ll forget about everything else on my to-do list!
Late riser or early bird?
Early!
Morning routine you swear by?
I prefer a slow and intentional morning. I start my day by taking deep breaths and meditating, followed by a long beauty routine to pamper myself. Then, I take my time getting dressed—always choosing something that makes me feel confident and comfortable. This sets me up for a successful day, mind, body, and soul.
One day I hope…
To see my beautiful children living their lives fully and authentically.
More the merrier or less is more?
Less is more.
Cool brands you love?
Dal the Label, CUUP, Me + Em, Khaite, Wardrobe NYC, Kat Burki, and Oak Essentials.
On the horizon: what’s coming soon?
I’m working on a few art projects that I’m really excited about. Stay tuned as I slowly begin to share more!
