What do you do to get bikini ready? I live for the beach, I ride my bike and walk everywhere, a true West LA lifestyle including yoga, smoothies, juicing, eating at home and I make sure to look up restaurants nutrition before I go! I do not have thin genes so everyone in my family has to watch it.
If you were to design a bathing suit, what would it look like? It would look good on every shape. It would be super low but cover my butt and have the scrunch in the back! Triangle top with a push up, push up is an absolute must!
What do you love to eat that is “healthy”? SALAD! But super creative and weird and interesting combos that make you love veggies. I believe you should look for the best combinations of food instead of getting bored with it, also eat out less and make your own meals-eating healthy can actually be less expensive than you think!
What is something no one knows about you? Now if I told you, you would all know…right?

What is your favorite way to de-stres? When I check off the last thing on my to do list… This is one day a month I get this done
What is the most adventurous thing you have ever done? Lived in Belize to do an archaeological dig when I was 18. I knew no one and just picked up and left for the summer. It changed my life!
When are you the happiest? When I am at the beach. I can really see my scale in the universe there and I am a Venice Beach girl at heart 🙂
