Can you tell us a secret no one would guess about you?
Not sure this is a secret (not sure if i have any as I’m very open book!) but people are often surprised at how i balance my interest in health with hedonism 🙂 I’m pretty particular with the majority of what i put on and into my body but i also love to celebrate and enjoy life. A handful of friends have told me that it spoke volumes about the efficacy of our products – even though as individually and as a brand we share recipes and feature healers of all sorts – my approach to living proves that the products absolutely work – and do not require a restrictive lifestyle – and moreover that it’s healthy to not be dogmatic about health.
One meal you could eat everyday?
Now with that said, i still have to pick Julienne veggies in nori sheets or rice wraps with multiple homemade dipping sauces!
One vice you wont give up?
To continue this theme: I’m very into the NA movement but I don’t think i can give up good tequila. My birthday is cinco de mayo and tequila is my birthright 🙂
Late riser or early bird?
Early bird-ish – i love getting up before my household and walking my dog
Morning routine you swear by?
I have to tongue scrape and do my LINNÉ skincare routine
One day I hope…
that all humans will begin to recognize how precious it is to live on this planet.
More the merrier or less is more?
More the merrier all the way!
Cool Brands you love?
