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

I’m a total book worm and a speed reader. in the fifth grade, I won an award for most books read in one year in the entire school. 

One meal you could eat everyday? 

Omg, Nobu’s spicy tuna crispy rice and yellow tail jalapeño sashimi. Orrrr a pepperoni pizza with hot honey. 

And dessert, always dessert. Maybe a hot fudge brownie sundae or watermelon pull n’ peel twizzlers. Can you tell i haven’t eaten lunch yet? Ha!

One vice you wont give up? 

Online shopping 😉

Late riser or early bird? 

We have an 8 month old son, Asa, so I’m an early bird by default!

Morning routine you swear by?

Prayer + writing down a gratitude list/daily affirmations. Watch your whole life change when you start your morning this way. Also drinking a big glass of water first thing (if I’m feeling ambitious, I’ll add fresh lemon or cucumber), followed by a green juice. So, so good for your gut, skin, nails, mental clarity etc. 

One day I hope…

that my son grows up to be compassionate, kind, and empathetic.

More the merrier or less is more? 

More the merrier in terms of friends, vacations, puppies, self-care and dessert. 

Less is more in terms of my clothing and personal items I keep in my house. I’m always editing my closet and cleaning out drawers — I feel like it’s so liberating to edit down to the things I truly love and use. plus, it brings me joy to know the things I let go of will go to someone else who will love/use them more.

Cool Brands you love? 

For baby: I’m obsessed w/ @coterie diapers, @artipoppe baby carriers, and @lovevery montessori toys. 

For mama to be: I looove @hatchgal nursing bras and @bumpsuit  – I wore these pieces my entire pregnancy. Oh, and @thisis.anya for postpartum recovery.

For every day: @summerfridays lip butter, (specifically the pink sugar flavor), @supergoop glow screen. @frankietheshop blazers, @aloyoga everything. @officialbyredo fragrances. @drinkpoppi probiotic drinks. @maylindstromskin blue cocoon for sensitive skin during pregnancy or postpartum — an actual God send.

On the horizon: what’s coming soon? 

My husband plays pro baseball, so summer is spent at the ballpark, and is always crazy busy for us. We do have some exciting travel plans for the end of the year…and beyond that, I’m not entirely sure; I feel like my whole life is really evolving right now. I’m trying to figure out how to embrace my role as a new mama, while also honoring my own dreams and ambitions. The exciting thing about that is — anything could happen :).
