Whether we’re inside the studio of a Portland jewelry designer, learning new recipes from a blogger in London, or getting inspired by an LA yogi, we love to pick up those priceless little wellness tips from healthy folks from every walk of life. How are creatives staying inspired? What’s inside our wellness peers’ medicine cabinets and whose books are our own health heroes reading? This is the kind of stuff we love to share and to read – and we can’t tell you how many times we’ve gotten hooked on a supplement, author or recipe from within our own features!ge
Hannah Bronfman, the famously stylish and seriously eco-chic chick behind the obsession level spa-booking app, Beautified, with her hand in more eco-friendly projects than we can count, is dishing to us on all the wellness habits that keep her daily life in New York balanced, sane and in-synch with her green values.
Hannah, whose music industry-shaping family stoked her passion for music at an early age (she DJs at some of the hottest private events in the city,) also inherited her family’s love for green living. As one of New York’s favorite girls-about-town, hosting the city’s coolest events and even modelling in some of the biggest shows, Hannah could easily skate by on her most recent outfit choice alone. Instead, Hannah pays close attention to her family’s developments in green energy, and has invested in a beauty app that keeps her and half of the city balanced and glowing through hot summers like this one.
We’re spending a little time with Hannah this summer – finding out her must-have items, picking her brain on natural beauty, and keeping up with the stylish wunderkind around town. Join us this week and next for a glimpse into Hannah’s stylish take on that Chalkboard life…
