5 Things She Can’t Live Without

Vacuum: I'm a clean freak and this is MY form of HITT and meditation all in one. (It goes well beyond vacuuming! Check out @gocleanco on Instagram.)

Pictures: I have a horrible memory. I want to capture it all! I use an iPhone but also carry my old Google phone — it has a much better camera.

Hoop Earrings: The one thing that gets me out of my funk. My hoop earrings bring my sassy, cute self back. I looooovvveee gold.

To-Do List: Feeds my need for organization and control. Lists bring calm to chaos. And I even have specific pens and notebooks I use.

Los Angeles Dodgers: Baseball is a staple in my family. This team means more than sport to me. I heart Fernando Valenzuela and Vinny Scully.

5 Things She Can’t Live Without

Pets: I have had animals my whole life, both dogs and cats. They have given me so much love and comfort. When I'm super stressed out, I go to the Humane Society to hang out with the stray animals and get some extra snuggles.
Walking: If I am stuck on a problem or need to be creative or clear my head, I always head out for a walk.
Sleep: I love to sleep! Sleep supports every other healthy decision I make. If I rest well, I can show up better for what matters to me.
Kindness: Human beings thrive when they are kind to each other and to themselves. I try to remember that when people are being mean, they are usually insecure or suffering in some way. I respond with kindness every chance I get, and I try to remember to offer that same generosity to myself when I start feeling critical of my body or my work.
Girlfriends: My girlfriends are my family. In the past, when I have moved to a new town or a new school, it might have taken a while to find my friends, but once I find women who make me feel like myself, I know I'm home.
