VOGUE’S 73 QUESTIONS

Want to learn more about me? ! I thought it might be fun to share some more personal tidbits about my personality, things I like, and my day-to-day lifestyle. Vogue does this fun video series of 73 rapid-fire questions answered by celebrities in under 10 minutes. Of course I’m no celebrity, and I did not write all of this in 10 minutes. But what a perfect way to get to know me a little better!

1. What’s your favorite time of day? Early mornings, before the sun comes up. It’s so quiet and peaceful in my backyard.  I’m such a morning person and it’s when I feel most productive.

2. What’s your biggest weakness? Always needing a challenge, getting bored easily, and never being satisfied. Which really helps me grow, and can be a strength. But it also poses difficulties and I can forget to appreciate what I do have and how far I’ve come.

3. What’s your biggest strength? My tenacity.

4. What’s the biggest learning experience you’ve had? In this industry, connecting with like minded women to share tips, tricks, stories and experiences about our success, failures, goals and plans.

5. What’s your idea of a perfect date? The best dates center around creating genuine connection and shared experiences. Picture this: A lovely dinner in a dark restaurant, sharing all our food, a bottle of wine and dessert. Followed by an evening stroll along the beach, walking hand and hand – with lots of talking in between. In the hotel room, we explore each other even more and get wrapped up with each other under the covers.

6. What’s one vice you wish you could give up? Weed is basically my only vice, so I’m not sure I would want to give it up. I don’t drink much, just the occasional glass of wine at dinner.

7. What’s a cause that is important to you? Anything related to helping land or sea animals.

8. What’s the best compliment you’ve ever received? The best compliment a client can give me is that I make him feel welcome, very comfortable and he’s free to be himself. And that he’s happier and more relaxed after our time together.

9. When are you the most inspired? When I’m around horses – their strength, grace and intuition remind me to stay grounded yet bold in pursing what I love.

10. Sweet or savory? Sweet, I have a big sweet tooth!

11. What song can you listen to on repeat? Anything by Frank Sinatra, especially “Fly Me to the Moon.”

12. What makes you smile the most? Being around animals – their pure energy and simple joy are contagious. I often catch myself daydreaming about a peaceful life on a farm surrounded by them.

13. What’s one thing people don’t know about you? I’m a certified yoga teacher, though I’ve never actually worked as one. I did my 200 hour Yoga Teacher Training in Bali to dive deeper into my own practice and learn more about meditation, breath work, Ayurveda and the history and philosophy of yoga.

14. Heels or flats or sneakers? Most days you can find me in sneakers or sandals. But I can own the night is a killer pair of Jimmy Choos. I’m still wanting to add a pair of Manolo Blahnik’s to my collection.

15. Vintage or new? Modern and new. With vintage touches.

16. What are the three things you can’t live without? My pets. Sunshine. My Passport.

17. Window or aisle seat? I prefer a window seat in first class… *hair flip*

18. Who’s your current TV character obsession? I’m always channeling my inner Olivia Benson from Law & Order: Special Victims Unit –  strong, unshakable and somehow always solving chaos in heels.

19. Leather or lace? Both – leather for when I want to feel bold and unstoppable, lace for when I want to be soft and effortlessly feminine. There’s something beautiful about balancing strength with delicacy.

20. What’s the most adventurous thing you’ve done in your life? Scuba dive 120 ft down, scuba dive with sharks during a feeding, skydive, whitewater raft in class 4 rapids, hike in Patagonia, and quit my job to pursue sex work full time. I’m an adrenaline junkie, a very adventurous person, and I’ll try almost anything at least once.

25. What’s the best piece of advice you’ve received? Always invest in yourself – your time, your growth, and your happiness – because everything else flows from that.

26. What’s your pet peeve? Dishonesty and lack of consideration. I value authenticity and thoughtfulness in every interaction. I also can’t stand unnecessary drama; life’s too short.

27. Diamonds or pearls? Diamonds are a girl’s best friend, but you can’t go wrong with either.

28. What’s something you notice about someone when you first meet them? Their energy. The way they carry themselves says more than words ever could.

29. What’s your biggest regret? Tough one! I try not to regret anything, but I’d say not trusting my instincts sooner.

Did I mention I’m competitive? To name a few I enjoy, in no particular order: Settlers of Catan, Chess, Gin Rummy, Cribbage, Battleship, Scattergories, Yahtzee, UNO, Jenga, Connect Four, Scrabble, Backgammon, Poker, Blackjack… I could go on and on. You get the idea. I love games, hehe.

32. What’s your guilty pleasure? Room service or takeout, in my robe, in bed, watching a great movie or show, candles lit. Don’t judge me for occassionally eating in bed.

I try not to be on my phone for the first 30 minutes of each day to be more present and grounded. Next, I’ll check my messages and emails, catch up on current events, review my calendar to prepare for the day, and maybe scroll social media if I have time. Some variation of that usually.

36. What’s your favorite holiday? Halloween. I don’t care for dressing up and parties; but I absolutely love all the decorations, haunted houses, scary movies, all things pumpkin flavored and scented, and the leaves changing colors up north.

37. If you could raid one woman’s closet, who would it be? Sofia Richie or Hailey Bieber.

38. If you could switch lives with one person for a day, who would it be? Kris Jenner – because the devil works hard, but I want to see how she does it. Strong second choice would be my dog – unlimited naps, snacks and affection sound ideal.

42. If you were not a companion, what would you be doing? If money were not an object, I’d be bouncing around the world volunteering at different animal, marine and wildlife rescue centers and sanctuaries.

43. What’s something you can’t do? Pick a signature perfume for myself. I’ve always wanted to, it’s giving timeless icon vibes. But alas, I have a full collection that all smell intoxicating, so I rotate them.
