What was your very first impression when you arrived at the Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise?
I said “wow” like 50 times. I think it was the most beautiful trip I’ve ever been on. And the view… unreal!
How did the scenery here inspire your personal style or content creation?
I was so excited to bring cute but warm clothes. Living in LA, we don’t get weather like that. When I get to dress up for snow, I go all out with big coats, tights, boots, and lots of accessories!
Everyone has a go-to comfort when traveling. What’s one thing you always pack that
instantly makes any hotel room feel like home?
I always bring my entire skincare routine, no matter how heavy it is.
You’ve built such a strong community online — how do trips like this help you reconnect with why you started creating in the first place?
The change of scenery always helps me reconnect with my socials. I feel really close to my followers — it’s like sending your family group chat updates and pictures. I’ve always posted like that, so it brings me joy when I have new locations unlocked.
If you could describe your time at the Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise in three words, what would they be and why?
Serene, breathtaking, and iconic. It’s chaotic yet still calm — there’s so much peace and quiet, but with the most unreal views. And it’s literally one of the most photographed places ever, which is iconic!
The group shared so many laughs and adventures on this trip! What’s one memory that will live rent-free in your mind?
One that will always stick with me is when everyone said they were doing the cold plunge in the lake… and only Amy and I actually did it. LOL.
Was there a moment on this getaway that gave you a fresh perspective or inspired
gratitude?
Yes — I did the lake cold plunge in 1°C and it was life-changing. It felt like I was looking through a new set of eyes afterward.
Beauty and skincare were such a highlight of this getaway. Which products or rituals made you feel your most radiant in the mountain air?
Everything — from the softness of the One Skin skincare to the yummy smells of the EOS shower routine to the glam of Pixi and Absolute New York. I felt pampered all day long!
What’s one unexpected talent, hobby, or guilty pleasure you have that might surprise everyone?
That I can live a perfectly normal life and do everything I do now… but with 1.5-inch nails.
If you could teleport one person to join you here — a friend, creative, or icon — who would it be and what would you want to show them first?
I’d want to bring my mom. She deserves to see those views and be pampered the way I was.
What’s something new you discovered about yourself on this trip — creatively, personally, or spiritually?
I personally experienced a new form of euphoria. I don’t know how to explain it, but the air, the views, and the temperature felt healing.
When your audience sees your content, what do you hope they feel or take away from it?
I hope my content embodies my journey of building myself and my brand from the ground up. And I hope my footsteps become new trails for the curious and determined to follow.
Looking ahead, what’s a dream destination or collaboration that’s at the top of your 2026 vision board?
My dream collaboration would be to act in an A24 film or be directed by Wes Anderson.
Finally, as you look back on your stay, what makes the Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise feel so special and unforgettable to you?
Traveling is a blessing, and I’ll never forget the amazing crew and workers who helped and cared for us during our entire stay at the Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise.
