R&S

Your best holiday shopping tips:

Kelli

HYDRATE! Wear comfortable shoes and keep your hands free! Make sure you pack (in your crossbody purse) a lip balm and hand cream. Jetting in and out of stores, your body experiences lots of climate changes and you don’t want your lips to chap or your hands to crack.

R&S

Cocktail of choice:

Kelli

A glass of rosé champagne.

R&S

Skincare product you can’t live without:

Kelli

I cannot live without Clé de Peau eye cream.

R&S

Favorite pizza topping:

Kelli

Artichoke, spinach and cheese is my go-to.

R&S

One piece of advice you would give your 18 year old self:

Kelli

You are EXACTLY who you are supposed to be. Don’t fight it!
