1. Faith: Through all of the roller-coaster events in my life, my core belief system has been a driving force. It has also been my motivation to press on even when I cannot see the light.
2. My Husband: Andrew has believed in me from the beginning, even when I doubted myself. Together, he and I have been able to accomplish many of our dreams as we push each other to be the best versions of ourselves.
3. My Family: They are my happy place where I can be accepted and loved without judgment.
4. Giving Back: Our biggest goal at With Love Salon is to change the world, and we regularly host events to benefit our community. Through this outreach I’ve found inspiration in a whole new way, with my end goal being to make the world a better place.
5. My Pulp Riot and Olaplex Teams: I am a part of two companies that have pushed me to grow both as an artist and as a human being. The people I’ve met and grown close to are lifelong friends, and some of the most brilliant artists I’ve seen.
7. My Pups: Owning animals has been a constant reminder of pure love; they’re an inspiration to love harder and to care for others with your whole heart.
8. Travel: I need to travel—I find myself through the experiences of seeing new places and trying new foods.
9. Photography: I’ve always appreciated the composition of art, especially through a photograph. Seeing hair and faces through the lens of my camera makes me appreciate my work on another level.
