Gadget: My Apple Watch, especially when it helps me find my phone. Scent: For the house, “Volcano” candles by Capri Blue. In nature, my favorite smell is when it starts to rain. For myself, “Replica Under The Lemon Trees” by Maison Margiela. Barrington spot: CrossFit Barrington, makes me a better version of myself. Hostess gift to receive: I never expect anything, but sharing a cabernet is always lovely. Gift to give: Right now I love giving the LEGO Flowers Bouquet.
What actress would play you in a movie? Salma Hayek—I like her acting in Frida, love her accent, and I believe she is authentic and funny. Who from history would you want to travel with? Salvador Dalí. He was the first person who came to mind. Dalí was an incredible surrealist, so I could only imagine how interesting the conversation could have been. I like to think he was a little crazy, and on top of everything, he had the perfect mustache. Where do you look for inspiration? I think it’s everywhere (that’s a bit generic but true). I feel like I pick up on the little things. I love to observe and then apply a bit of my own touch. Favorite book? That is a tough one, but within the last year my favorite book has been The Midnight Library by Matt Haig. It is an easy read with a big message: No regrets. Most beloved cookbook? The one I use most often now is The Whole30 by Melissa and Dallas Hartwig. It’s full of my favorite recipes for dressings and seasonings. I also like Run Fast. Cook Fast. Eat Slow. by Shalane Flanagan and Elyse Kopecky; but intuition is one of my best friends while cooking. Best dinner party hack? I love making homemade dressings because they go with pretty much everything, from salads to meat to fish, or as a spread. When I need something fast, my go-to is a plate of a few different types of nuts and grapes. What’s in your bag right now? I don’t carry a big bag, so it’s mostly my wallet, phone, and my favorite lip balm: Mymatcha by Cocokind.
