Occupation: Fashion and Lifestyle Influencer
Age: 36
Location: New York, NY
Hobbies: Currently enjoying at-home fitness, snowboarding, and decorating my new apartment. It’s a small space so I love coming up with smart solutions for it!
Skin Type: Dry
Hair Type: Normal
I definitely have a modern, holistic approach to grooming: Working out, hydrating, and eating healthy to support healthy skin and hair along with a daily skin and hair care regimen. Embracing a lot of men’s beauty as well. I’m not afraid of foundation and concealer to even my complexion, experimenting with hair color and style, and having fun with manicures and nail polish. I try to be as conscious as possible of using products that are good for the environment and my body as well as only stocking brands with a good mission statement behind them.
Shampoo: Olaplex No. 4 Bond Maintenance Shampoo
For extra bond building and hydration that’s also great for processed hair.
Conditioner: Olaplex No. 5 Bond Maintenance Conditioner
I love to follow it up with this super hydrating conditioner.

STMNT products are created and designed by three diverse co-creators. The brand has hair products for every hair type!

There is lots to love about this moisturizing gel cream. Versed is a clean brand and very hydrating for dry skin like mine.

Hair Product: Bumble and bumble Bb. Hairdresser’s Invisible Oil UV Protective Dry Oil Finishing Spray
I use this every day between washes, especially in the winter to keep my hair hydrated.
