Your must visits in seoul
gold pig bbq- best bbq in Seoul
grilled eel at Pungcheon Eel
rejuran shots
Namdaemun Market is so fun to wander around and pick up souvenirs and little toys
Olive young for skincare
Itaewon for wandering around up and down the hilly streets and great restaurants and bars
Morning or nighttime routine
Nighttime routine for sure- I usually try and workout in the morning first thing so Im usually doing a slap dash routine in a gym somewhere in the am. I do my nighttime routine as soon as I get home from work so I can be on mom duty in my pyjamas, skincare done, ready for anything! otherwise I fall asleep in a toddlers bed with my outdoor clothes on and a full face of make up.
What do you do when youre not working
I love to knit! Knitting has become a deep meditation for me I like to do really boring big patterns so I can let my mind wander and just think while knitting. Its very soothing. I also like to cook and be with my family- I have two small kids who are alot of energy and fun.
I like being beside the sea alot too I grew up in Wales and wasnt far from a beach mostly- I need to be by a body of water.
how do you protect your happiness
I only go out 1-2 times a week for work engagements at MOST. Max two drinks!
learning to say no as a people pleaser was very transformative for me :-)
What do you do when you're feeling down
WORK OUT.
get a spray tan
hang out with my kids
What is something you're excited about
We have so much fun coming up for brand this year, so work has been extra exciting recently. I cant wait to share more on some launches we have. Im also going to Paris for a girls trip in a few weeks to eat mountains of cheese, and then ANOTHER one to antigua for a friends birthday. And then when school is out for summer im going to spain with my family for a trip- 2026 is def the year of TRAVEL for me. Fire horse vibes.
Skincare routine for an almost 35 year old :)
35 is a great age to start thinking about some actives. I like to recommend to clients in their mid 30s to think of their routine in am and pm as three steps in both. Cleanse your skin to prep it to receive treatment correctly. Hydrate the skin and then protect your work (spf). I like to add a gentle retinol treatment into the evening, paired with a low and slow exfoliator to help buff away any dead cells and to bring out that glowy, glass skin look. Mandelic clearing serum added into a routine can be transformative.
Who inspires you
I know im supposed to say someone really cool and artsy but did you ever watch that insane tv show ALONE? its a show where 8 outdoorsey people hike off to the wilderness with 10 items in a backpack and rough it out for as long as THREE MONTHS where they have to build a house, fish/hunt/cook/defend themselves from wild animals etc and its just so incredible to see them out there doing this thing while im in my pyjamas on the couch drinking wine and eating a bowl of chips... I hate being cold im so impressed that they can do this. Imagine not talking to anyone or looking at your phone for THREE MONTHS?!! how inspiring is that? I just finished the recent series and i cried at the end im so sad its over.
How do you do it all while being a mom? give me hacks
The first mom hack is that we are all just DOING OUR BEST. kids are amazing and crazy and will make you feel like youre going crazy and furiously in love all at the same time. If you have a boy the best advice I have is to run them down like dogs on a walk- HARD excercise from the moment they wake up they need to get sweaty and tired. i have one of these that are great to get the bounces out in the eve before bed.
When I travel, I buy presents for my kids as bribary when im travelling to arrive and be at my apartment before i even land home so I dont have to worry about finding something to bring home to them when im in factories 12 hours a day.
Write down the funny things they say because one day theyll learn how the say the word right and youll be sad.
When all else fails- give them a snack.
Your top 3 favorite procedures and why
BOTOX not only gets rid of your wrinkles but it makes your skin smoother. Your skins texture can change when using neuromodulators so it remains a firm fave of mine to refresh.
REJURAN/SKINVIVE SHOTS: I have really dry skin so I explain to clients these are basically 'moisturizing' shots. they hydrate and moisturize from the inside out and make your skin look absolurely amazing. down side is they hurt.
AEROLASE: we do this laser treatment at my studio in soho. Its actually a laser hair removal treatment but with added benefits of being really good for the skin. I think it can make a big difference in the reduction of acne as well as generalized redness as well as improoving collagen production etc. a fan favorite.

How does it feel to dance when you’re pregnant?
I am 25 weeks, which I guess is 6 months. I found out I was pregnant the day after we opened the fall season in October. It was such a roller coaster because I was already so stressed about the season, and then I was so excited about my pregnancy, but also super anxious about it going well.
I continued to dance until I was 3 months. I performed Nutcracker when I was 12 weeks pregnant, which was incredibly difficult, just dealing with feeling weird, the hormones. I didn’t have a ton of nausea, thankfully. I was dancing with one of my favorite partners, James. He’s one of my best friends, and I felt so safe doing a little pas de trois with him, and my parents came to see the show.
Now I’m not rehearsing or performing anymore, but I’m still dancing 3 days a week, just taking class, and it feels great. I feel better when I move.
What did you eat for breakfast?
I will definitely eat leftovers for breakfast. I had Han Dynasty Chinese food — dumplings with chili oil, black bean chicken, and bok choy over rice — then I fried an egg and put it on top.
I wake up at 7 and get back in bed with my coffee and my cat. Snuggling with my cat in the morning is non-negotiable. I need at least 30 minutes to drink coffee and pet my cat.
What do you do when you’re feeling blue?
My inclination is to be alone and wallow and spiral and scroll anything to make myself feel worse.
But what I’ve learned to do is always call a friend. It makes me feel so much better. Any problem can be solved by feeling love and support from your friends.
What book are you reading right now?
I run ballerina book club. I’m reading a book called The Doorman. It’s a thriller and very New York. It’s set in a building called the Bohemia, but it’s clearly the Dakota.
What was your pre-show ritual?
I always like to eat pasta 4 hours before the show. Then I’ll take a 30-minute nap if I can. Sometimes it’s like a torture nap — you’re trying to sleep but your heart’s racing.
Then I’ll wake up, drink coffee, get my hair and makeup done. I love to have 30 minutes on stage alone before the audience gets there, listen to music, think through how I want to portray the character, and feel the vibes of the opera house.
I know you love to hike. Where should we go?
Some of my favorite hiking is where I’m from in Idaho, in Stanley. The landscapes in the West are unparalleled.
What are you doing for your baby moon?
I’ve always wanted to do national parks with my husband. We’re going to Arches, Canyonlands, Monument Valley, and Sedona, then ending in Tucson for my dad’s 70th birthday. I’m so excited. Those landscapes in the West are unmatched.
What podcasts are you listening to?
I love a history podcast called Noble Blood. She picks a historical figure with a dramatic life and tells their story. I usually listen at night or when I’m doing chores or playing with my cat.
How many times do you practice before one performance? How do you remember all the choreography?
A million. It’s total muscle memory. You just know it.
Sometimes I won’t remember the steps, then I’ll hear the music and my body can do it without thinking. It’s one of the coolest things about ballet — you can turn off your brain and get into a flow state with the music.

Tell me about Rosetta and Alton's names
I was almost 9 months pregnant when we finally found Rosetta’s name. We had a little list going, but nothing felt like it was really going to be for her. One night, my husband and I went out to dinner and he had this tote bag with all these musician’s names on it. One of them was Sister Rosetta Tharpe, the Godmother of Rock and roll. We both saw it at the same time and without saying a word to each other, we knew it was the one.
For Alton, I think it was right around my due date. We were slightly panicked because our boy name list was crazy. Fun names, maybe just too funny. Once again, we went out to dinner, Miss Lily’s this time, and right behind Kyle was an Alton Ellis record hanging on the wall. He’s known as the Godfather of Rocksteady. Alton also means “Old town by the river”, which resonated with us being in New York, but also Troy where Kyle is from, and Montreal where I’m from. It felt like all the stars aligned.
What does the perfect Saturday look like? From start to bed time!
Waking up to Rosetta and Alton singing in their bedroom. It’s the sweetest thing ever. Little breakfast at home and then going for a walk and getting coffee. Putting Rosetta’s hair in pig tails and taking her to Film Forum or Metrograph to see a movie! They have adorable kids programming — real pictures! Cinderella (the original Technicolor), Fantasia! Rosetta loves going to the cinema. We both get a popcorn and a sparkling water. Then we go back home and nap together while Kyle and Alton go on a bike ride around Central Park. In the evening, I love going out to eat and getting ice cream. Then we come home, put on our jammies, brush our teeth, listen to some of Kyle’s records and dance until everyone is sleepy.
I need a new recipe for Rainer, tell me!
I love baking carrots in the oven with maple syrup. It’s a little bit naughty, but it’s so delicious and it makes the kids so happy!
Favorite shops for the kids
Yoya on W 4th street has the cutest clothes and toys for the littles, and one very tempting rack of vintage women’s clothes in the back. I found the most beautiful light grey silk Miu Miu dress there recently. I also love Spiral Books on Sullivan. They do really cute crafts with the kids there! And of course, Makié. The most adorable clothes, especially for newborn babies.
What are you working on right now?
A feature film! I can’t say much about it yet, but I’m really excited.
I can't watch any more Paul Mescal things because I get into a deep depression. Tell me how obsessed you are about Hamnet (without spoilers because I will go see it!)
Of all the films I’ve seen with Paul Mescal, this one is by far the one that broke me the most. I’m not sure everyone is built to watch this film because it is so devastating. I’ve never cried so much in a theatre. I cried for hours after the movie. I cried yesterday telling friend about it. It’s probably one of the most beautiful films ever made. Most truthful, most painful. I couldn’t recommend it more, but if you’ve lost a child, a sibling, or if you are a mother, brace yourself.
What are some upcoming films you can't wait to see
I’m very excited about Pedro Almodovar’s new film Amarga Navidad (Bitter Christmas)! It’s a Spanish comedy and I really need that right now. I also can’t wait to see Marty Supreme on Christmas day!
What do you do when you're feeling blue
I go on gettyimages.com and look up photos of Penelope Cruz in the 90s and 2000s, year by year. I love daydreaming.
What did you eat for breakfast
Rosetta fed me 2 raspberries, half a peanut butter toast and coffee with a whisper of whipped cream <3

Tell me how your Barbie collection started and your love for collecting in general.
My parents told me I was always drawn to the Barbie aisle when they started taking me to toy stores as a kid. They were really open and bought me my first Barbie. I’m pretty sure it was Twirlin’ Make-up Barbie. She had giant gems on her skirt that were filled with make-up. I think I just love stuff and that's where my love of collecting comes from.
