What’s the first thing you do when you wake up?
Every day when I wake up, I splash my face with cold water, then do my morning routine. After that, I make myself a protein shake before walking for 45 minutes with my dog.
If you could live in any city in the world, where would it be?
This is such a hard question for me because my heart is in so many cities and so many places. I really love the idea of New York, Paris, or Rome. But I could also easily live in Puerto Rico near my family.
What’s your go-to coffee (or tea) order?
I’m a matcha girl and always have been. I love an iced matcha with almond milk and a splash of cinnamon.
What’s a fashion trend you hope never comes back?
Too many fashion trends that I lived through in the early 2000s have already been sneaking their way back in, and I just have to deal with it. Gen Z needs to learn the hard way, like millennials did.
What’s one song that always gets you on the dance floor?
Almost any song can get me on the dance floor if I’m in the right mood and with the right friends.
If you could swap lives with any celebrity for a day, who would it be?
Honestly, no one comes to mind.
What’s your guilty pleasure TV show?
I rewatch Sex and the City and Gossip Girl over and over again.
What’s the best piece of advice you’ve ever received?
Every person you meet knows something you don’t, so stay curious.
If you could raid anyone’s closet, whose would it be?
Carrie Bradshaw’s.
What’s one beauty product you can’t live without?
I cannot, under any circumstances, live without an eyelash curler and lip liner.
What’s your dream vacation destination?
Right now, Tokyo, Japan.
What’s your favorite Instagram account to follow?
I follow an Instagram account called @italy, and it has to be one of my favorites.
Which social media platform do you spend the most time on?
Probably TikTok because I get caught in doomscrolling.
If you could collaborate with any artist, musician, or designer, who would it be?
In my case, it would have to be for acting, and 1000% Tim Burton.
What’s one project you’re currently working on that you’re excited about?
A project that I’m working on right now is something I will be launching in March, and I’m so excited. I can’t wait to share more, but in time.
If your life were a movie, what would the title be?
Changing, Learning, Growing.
If you could create your own fragrance, what would it smell like?
It would be a vanilla scent mixed with a warm and earthy tone—not like the overly sweet vanillas we sometimes get on the market.
Favorite word?
I don’t know if I have a favorite word, but my best friend and I love the saying, “God is good.” Anytime anything remotely amazing happens to us, we just say to each other, “God is good, baby!!!”
What was your favorite part of the Modeliste getaway?
My favorite part of the Modeliste trip was going to an island I had never heard of and would never think to visit on my own.
What do you love most about Golden Rock Resort, St. Eustatius?
The food was incredible for me.
