Red, White, or Bubbly?

It really depends on the vibe. I’m typically a red wine girl but I’ll opt for something bubbly when I’m with my girls or on a nice summer day. It’s nice to sip on something cool and crisp.

Favorite binge-worthy show?

I don’t watch a ton of TV. But the last series I was into on Netflix was Working Moms. lol

Dream vacation?

My dream vacation isn’t really a place; it’s more of a lifestyle. I want to be able to truly enjoy being on vacation without worrying about the business. When you're a one-person operation, reaching this point can be a bit challenging. However, after years of trial and error, and testing different models, it’s totally possible!

Go-to wine night pairing?

I’d say wine with a bunch of tapas. I’ve spent the last few years in Spain and I love a good wine and tapas night.

Guilty pleasure?

I have several. Sometimes my sweet tooth is out of control! Haha Pistacchio gelato, an Oreo cookie blizzard, and banana bread. But maybe the banana bread isn’t so bad…

You’ve had a lot of success in your career - what’s your best career advice? 

Thank you! I would say you really just have to go for it, whatever that 'it' is for you. I think sometimes we want to wait until everything is perfect and delay putting ourselves out there. I say just go for it and continue to improve as you go along. Also, you know way more than you think you do, so don’t be afraid to go after the things you really want in life.

Since I’m quite plugged in when it comes to running my business, the top two things that come to mind are my phone and my computer. Also, I'm a fan of red lipstick, especially from YSL. I also like a good mascara and a bit of shimmer on my brows and nose. I prefer a natural look with makeup—less is more for me. And I always finish off with a spritz of Chanel No. 5 and wear my signature all-black outfit. Lol
