Can you tell us a secret no one would guess about you?

I love watching Reality Shows.


One meal you could eat everyday?

Good Bolognese pasta. 


One vice you wont give up?

Coffee!!!


Late riser or early bird?

Late Riser – I am a night owl and very productive late at night.


Morning routine you swear by?

Yoga and Coffee.


One day I hope…

I hope that my daughter and son will feel like they can accomplish anything they want and not be judged by their gender or race. We have made progress in this country but change needs to happen much faster.


More the merrier or less is more?

Less is more when it comes to friends.  As I have gotten older, I believe in quality over quantity. I only want to surround myself with people who fill me up. The more the merrier when it comes to vacations.


Cool Brands you love?

Fashion: Parker Thatch & Rivet Utility –  I love how both these brands are super functional and can be dressed up or down.

Beauty: Tower28 , Augustinus Bader, I never leave the house without SuperGoop Glow Sunscreen

Food: Fly By Jing – I am addicted to their chili oil.  I put it on everything!


On the horizon: what’s coming soon?

Working on a new concept in the food space.
