The Interview —

Brooke Taylor Corcia, Founder and CEO of The Dreslyn

I cannot get enough of House of Cards. 

I mostly feel grateful for being in a position where every day presents new challenges and opportunities and that I have the pleasure of working side-by-side with an incredibly talented, laid-back team.  

Listen more and follow your intuition, always. 

CBD oil brownies. Dark chocolate infused with calming oils. Need I say more?

The Nue Co probiotics for healthy skincare. For makeup, I use rms beauty—they’ve nailed the natural ‘glow’, along with cosmetics from MAKE.

Run your own race. 

Coming to My Senses: The Making of a Counterculture Cook by Alice Waters. Waters’ is an icon and her coming of age story behind the creation of Chez Panisse was inspiring. I resonated with how impressions of culture, friendships and travel led her to launch a business born from passion, will and the desire to communicate something larger through her work.

I decompress by doing an hour of hot yoga to wind down the day. If I can’t get to class, a beautiful glass of red wine is the ticket. 

Respect and kindness.

My parents. I’m adopted, and I could not be luckier to have been raised with so much love, compassion, and support throughout the years.
