What’s your weakness? Late night online shopping + dark chocolate anything + On Demand.

Who is your industry icon? Carolyne Roehm is Mecca.

What is your morning routine? Wake up entwined like a pretzel with my seven year old, who sneaks in each night, I know not when. Organic cereal served, lunches packed.  Next my Kettlebell, Clarisonic Facial Brush, Rodan + Fields.  Only mom at school who’s dressed in black tie by 8:45 am, several mornings a week.

What can you not leave home without? Haven’t been without my Bonnie Bell Dr. Pepper Lip Smacker since I was ten years old.  For real.  Perfect pop of color and shine in one.
