At 19, Adi served as a combat trainer for the Israel Defense Force, and later, after returning home to Florida, qualified as a National Academy of Sports Medicine (NASM) certified personal trainer. After years of life in the army barracks, Adi realized her gut wasn’t functioning properly, due to a lack of access to quality nutrition. Despite trying different diets, supplements and more, nothing seemed to help with her lagging digestive system, inability to go to the bathroom and painful bloating. </p><p> </p><p>Soon Adi began experimenting with loose leaf tea blends as a natural remedy. These high-quality teas Adi made uncovered the root of her problem: an excess of toxins built up in her digestive tract. After realizing her “secret sauce” blend also solved similar digestion issues with her friends, Adi saw the potential and began looking to different varieties of tea to combat other common issues: fatigue, depleted immune system, stress, and insomnia. Researching, creating, blending and sourcing these teas wasn’t just a passion for Adi, it became her purpose and, soon, her expertise. </p><p> </p><p>At just 23, Adi created Teami in her mother’s home. She saw Teami as a way to help people become healthier and happier, with teas to solve everyday issues.</p><p> </p><p>Today, Adi has since expanded the lifestyle brand into the beauty industry with tea-infused beauty oils and green tea mask + scrub. Teami is quickly outgrowing their 13,000 square foot office-warehouse hybrid located in Seminole, Florida and is sold nationally at ULTA Beauty, Urban Outfitters, Anthropologie, Vitamin World, Riley Rose and more as well as online at <a href="https://www.teamiblends.com/">TeamiBlends.com</a>.</p><p>Keep up with Adi on her<a href="https://www.instagram.com/adiarezzini/"> Instagram</a> and be sure to follow&nbsp;<a href="https://www.instagram.com/teamiblends/">Teami</a>!&nbsp;<br></p></div></div>

She is the owner of Texas-based leather contemporary apparel brand, Understated Leather.</p>
<p>At the age of 19, Kassell began her career as the youngest fashion director/buyer for Australia’s then largest e-commerce fashion website. She was considered a global brand expert driving important operations to the USA. Her expertise in the industry led her to then represent MyCatwalk at all Australian Fashion events, appearances, and press junkets while managing the team and keeping the company ahead of the game. At the time of her departure, they were 5 times the size of their closest competitor.</p>
<p>Jennifer then ran a boutique fashion showroom in New York City, selling Australian brands in the US market and buying luxury US brands for the Australian market. Here she worked closely with US buyers and luxury brands until she was headhunted by a reputable Californian fashion house to be their first ever Fashion Director and relocated to LA.</p>
<p>While employed as Fashion Director in Los Angeles for Planet Blue, she traveled back to MBFWA as an international buyer in her hometown and was featured in one of Australia’s most popular newspapers as an influential woman to watch. She was employed to reshape the brand and make it more relevant and high fashion, where she worked alongside the owners and over 100 staff members, shooting editorials, managing all art direction, working with the buying team and acting as the face of the brand across all media platforms.</p>
<p>In 2014 she moved to Austin, Texas and started her own brand from the ground up, collaborating with huge US brands through her personal relationships including For Love And Lemons, before she launched her website and began immediately selling to Free People and Urban Outfitters. With Kassell’s industry experience and entrepreneurial mindset, she has grown Understated Leather into one of the most covetable leather good brands. The brand has been featured in global publications, such as Vogue Paris, Russh Magazine, WWD, US Weekly &amp; Vogue.com while developing a cult celebrity following including Beyonce, Lady Gaga, Bella Hadid, Rita Ora, January Jones, Kendall Jenner, and Erin Wasson to name a few.</p>

Over the past 10 years, the brand has grown to include 7 retail stores nationwide, a global presence, and industry recognition for founder-driven authenticity and an insightful take on accessible luxury. Known for classic style that’s unexpected, with hints of both California cool and Parisian charm, the brand gives back both to the local community, where it’s been made since 2008, and to various causes and organizations, like Every Mother Counts, Planned Parenthood, and Everytown for Gun Safety, through product partnerships and activations.</p><p>After noticing a lack of functional yet stylish laptop cases while working as a journalist for French TV, Clare Vivier decided to create her own line of handbags and accessories in 2008. Over time, Clare’s been able to cultivate an identifiable aesthetic that's all her own and has been recognized worldwide by influencers, tastemakers, celebrities and bloggers, who support and wear the line. Clare’s strong connection to France, where she spends a significant amount of time each year with her French husband and son, remains at the core of the brand, with signature elements visible within every collection. In 2014, Clare was recognized for her contributions to design as a member of the Council of Fashion Designers of America (CFDA), an organization with which she now works closely. 2018 marked the tenth year for the brand with 7 retail stores and hundreds of stockists both in the U.S. and abroad.</p><p>You can keep up with Clare on her personal <a href="https://www.instagram.com/clarevivier/">Instagram</a>, and follow Clare V.'s new releases on the brand's<a href="https://www.instagram.com/shopclarev/?hl=en"> Instagram</a> page.&nbsp;</p></div></div>
