My alarm is never consistent since I travel so much. On weekdays, I average between 5:30 a.m. and 6:00 a.m. so I can do meditations, but it varies. On weekends, I really value my beauty sleep, since I don’t get it during the week. Getting enough sleep is an essential part of having healthy skin and overall wellness. I’ll wake up between 9 a.m. and 10 a.m. usually — whenever my body is ready.

My morning shower definitely gets the creative juices flowing. I also love to start the day with relaxing classical music – piano or violin playlists on my drive to the office.

I typically start my day with supplements and two or three glasses of water. I also drink tea most mornings. I recently received some Rishi Ancient organic Pu-erh Tea as a gift. I really love it because it’s very sweet, and I have a big sweet tooth.

Meditation and a big breakfast!

I’m a firm believer that breakfast is the most important meal of the day, so I eat a rounded, full breakfast usually. Recently, I’ve been loving chia pudding with berries, hemp and sunflower seeds, and a berry or a green smoothie.

Bright, fun colors and patterns are in my spring wardrobe. Ulla Johnson, SEA, Khaite, are a few designers I am loving right now.

A hot shower! I love taking a shower first thing, it really wakes me up and gives me a few minutes to myself before conquering the day. I do love a soothing candle-lit bath at night to help me wind down from the day as well.

Get to snuggle and spend time with my three cubs (kids). Also, on the best mornings I am able to spend 10 – 15 minutes stretching, it makes such a difference in how I carry myself.

One of the first things I do when I wake up is check my emails. It’s such a faux pas, it goes against everything I’ve read, but I can’t help it. I like to take care of a lot of priorities in the morning and any urgencies that have transpired while I’ve been sleeping.

Meetings! Due to how often I travel, when I am in Vermont I get to the office by 8:30 a.m. and my mornings typically consist of meetings with R&D, product development, wholesale, creative, etc. I tend to have those meetings first thing and try to make sure that any major decisions happen while I’m in Vermont.

I love so many different types of music based on my mood. There is always a playlist in the background at home. My current playlist includes Coorina Smith, Robin Schulz, Kygo, Fleetwood Mac, Satin Jackets and George Winston – quite an eclectic mix!

I recently traveled to Mii Amo Wellness Resort in Sedona, Arizona. Their avocado toast was the best I’ve ever had and I’ve been eating it almost every day since: multi-grain toast, tiny bit of honey sprinkled on the bread, mashed avocado, fresh goat cheese and a sunny side up egg. Simple, but very flavorful and delicious.

Probably my love of podcasts – I listen to Fat Mascara podcast and On Being podcast in the a.m. as I get dressed.

To drink approximately three gallons of water a day.

My New Year’s resolution: reduce single-use plastics from my life. This is something my kids and I are all working on together. It’s very important to me that I teach them the importance of this.

The BBQ lunch at Blackberry Farms. Everything they make in their smoker is fabulous. It’s such a fun experience and is the best BBQ I’ve ever had. I’m always craving it!

Overcome your fears. Whatever you fear, do it. Be open to trying new things and things that scare you.

This interview with Tata first ran in 2018, but our love for the brand still runs strong and we wanted to spotlight it one more time!
