⚡️SAVE for future reference // After 8 hours on campus, here’s my end of day thought: task attractiveness is crucial and we all have the capacity to cultivate it.

5 dimensions to consider:

Energy: Are you bringing zeal to the environment? Simple behaviors like smiling, initiating conversation and being in engaging while taking an interest in others make a big difference.

Expertise: Do you know the job in a specialized way?This is a major asset.

Effectiveness: Do you get results? People love this.

Earnestness: Do you take things seriously and have follow through? This is rare.

Entertainment: It’s a gift to be able to find levity in everyday situations…everyone appreciates someone who is enjoyable, memorable and relatable.

Empathy: When we can put ourselves in other people’s shoes, it’s one of the most powerful, impactful human-centered actions.

Hope you enjoyed the chat…let me know your thoughts (like what makes someone task attractive to you?) in the comments 👓💋

⚡️⚡️Moments from the past week. An evening with @leonorgreylusa @sunnycommunications and @ccandsunny, Joey and I sharing a single @aninebing sweatshirt, there’s a new video on my YT channel (have you watched it yet?), one of my favorite restaurants of life @cecconisrestaurants, Joey’s gymnastics moves (!!), staying consistent at Pilates, an icy cold and windy family trip to @knottsberryfarm where Joey went on the log ride for the first time, @mayachiabeauty launched a brilliant brush (full review to come), a quick preview of my new @idyl pieces, a major moon and more Knott’s fun (haven’t been on a bumper car in years).

Grateful that you’re here…wishing you a purposeful week ahead 👓💋xx #beautyprofessor #lifelately

⚡️SAVE for future reference // I’m a major advocate for authentically speaking one’s mind but sometimes, it’s wise to pause and assess the situation for efficacy potential and personal peace…hope this speaks to you, too. 🕊️

3 questions to ask when pursuing discretion:

(1) Does sharing my opinion have the slightest chance of changing someone’s perspective? If so, go for it if you’re so lead; if not, then save your energy so you can share with someone who actually has an open heart and mind to actively listen.

(2) Is this as important to the other person as it is to me? Buy-in, commitment and relational dynamic matter. If those elements are not in play, it might not be worth pursuing.

(3) Will this issue still matter to me in one week? One month? One year? Reacting impulsively often stops us from future framing (e.g.., in the future, how will we feel about what we said/did now?) and realistically contemplating the potential for regret. However, if you’re ready to stand by your words in the future, then by all means go for it!

SAVE for future reference // It’s rare for a fragrance to get prime real estate in my makeup bag but such is the case for the new @veroniquegabai Délices des Bois, which I’ve worn consistently for the past 2 months 🔸▫️🔸

Even though the lasting power is exceptional, I still want this creamy fig, cedarwood and jasmine juice within arm’s reach. Decidedly French, it’s complex, alluring and sophisticated while being apropos for everyday wear. Have you tried this yet? Let me know if you have any questions and also what fragrance you’re wearing today in the comments! ✨

The past 7 days // Life has been a brilliant flow

The past 7 days // Life has been a brilliant flow of intersecting experiences and I’m grateful⚡️
(1) At the @waldorfbevhills post-facial. Thanks for taking this pic @mickcukurs 📸
(2) Getting ready for my @laprairie facial. 💎
(3) Space of dreams: The private suite at the @waldorfbevhills where @adeelacrown has her residency with @laprairie 🌴
(4) Directly after the facial…everything Adeela does is 💯 tailored to her client’s needs. I had a deep clean, ultrasound skincare infusion, red light therapy and the most insane facial massage using Adeela’s signature hand dance technique.
(5) Bare faced: Thank you @adeelacrown x @laprairie x @waldorfbevhills 🤍
(6) Met up with long time friends @mcbridebooks and @mickcukurs 💕
(7) The Global Winter Collection—Cozy Winter—from @suqqu_europe. Swatches galore on my LTK❄️
(8) Joey swatching like a champ at Sephora 💄
(9) Current nail combo a la @manucurist 💅🏻
(10) A gorgeous evening of conversation and collaboration hosted by @adeelacrown and Pia Mehta.
(11) With Adeela and @naghajani ✨
(12) @maisonmerenor and I realized that we knew each other long ago in our time as models (same agency, same bookers, small world). We had the best time catching up! 👯
(13) Skin close up 🔍
(14) A new lip combo procured from @sephora @makeupbymario @pradabeauty 👄
(15) The aforementioned lip mix in action + @academiehair ▪️▫️▪️
(16) My daily @spinn espresso with @agentnateur holi mane, @goddess.all prebiotic + @alexandrefamilyfarm half and half…what I make at home is a million times better than what I could buy from a shop ☕️
(17) Still making it to 3 Pilates class a week 💪🏼
(18) My current face pillow…it’s by @savemyface and the shape reminds me of Celine. ⚜️
(19) Readers via @lookopticusa …do you need them like I do these days?👓
(20) A sunset of epic proportions 🌆

Let me know if you have any questions and so glad you’re here 👓💋

xx #beautyprofessor #lifelately #thelast7days

⚡️Reflection // Over the past 2 1/2 months I’ve stayed consistent with Pilates…3 times a week and often before or directly after a full day of lecturing on campus. Class is one of the only times when I don’t think about a million things at once (can you relate?). I have to stay focused on just the movements and breathing and not let my mind wander, otherwise the carriage makes an excess of noise and it’s mortifying 😅 (IYKYK).

I’m grateful for how this new habit has made me stronger, both mentally and physically because this strength helps me in all other dimensions of my life including my family, my work and even my creativity.

I’ll never 💯 get used to rising before dawn but the payoff is worth it. Hope this inspires you to find a way to work on your strength, too…life is too short to stay still.

Let me know how you like to workout in the comments ….Happy Friday, friends, we made it 💪🏼

Who wore it better?? 🔎 By her own request, Joey

Who wore it better?? 🔎 By her own request, Joey Elle was Jessica Fletcher from Murder She Wrote for Halloween. She’s her favorite TV detective and we had such a fun time synthesizing the elements to bring it to life!

💄For Jessica’s signature violet blue eye look, I heavily relied upon the @natashadenona Roxa Palette and for lips we used 2 @sephoracollection shades (will link later on today).

Core family memories in the making! ⚡️
