The Lifestyle

Put your party pants on cause our Editor-in-chief and everyones favorite bad girl is turning 31!

Don’t let her size fool ya cause this interview was packed with a punch! She’s got the mouth of a sailor, the style of Adam Sandler, and lives for tattoos and trucker hats – but to her core, she’s our resident empath. Leave it to her to cry with you, fight for you and reassure you of your worth.

We couldn’t wait to sit down with her to talk, swear, laugh, and absorb all the wit and sarcasm she brings to a room, and what better way than putting her in the hot seat with 31 questions for 31
(in no particular order)

HOW ARE YOU ACTUALLY FEELING ABOUT TURNING 31?

Shook but stoked! Tbh, it’s never the number that makes me feel weird about birthdays, it’s just the general feeling of “how the fuck am I supposed to believe I’m 31”. In so many ways I still feel like I’m 24 – a time when I was discovering my independence, and strength, and molding my life.

WRITE US A FAIRY TALE STORY IN THE THIRD PERSON ABOUT YOUR LOVE WITH SCOTT. LET’S REMIND OUR FANS HOW ELOPING IS STILL TRUE LOVE AT ITS FINEST AND WHO SCOTT IS…REALLY?

Two former hell raisers found a place of comfort among the chaos. The love was real and the rest was written after a night of partyin’ like rockstars and lovin’ like filmstars. No one wanted or could split them up so they ran away and made a life of their own.

WHAT IS THE BEST ADVICE YOU HAVE RECEIVED THIS YEAR?

do no harm, take no shit.

WHO HAS INSPIRED YOU MOST THIS YEAR, AND WHAT QUALITIES DO THEY HAVE THAT YOU ADMIRE?

WHAT IS THE BEST GIFT YOU HAVE EVER RECEIVED ON YOUR BIRTHDAY?

I’m more of an “experience” kinda bday girl so spending it in Puerto Rico in the middle of the National Rainforest last year was unmatched! But if I had to pick something materialistic, my blue Walkman from 1999. slay.

WHAT MAKES YOU FEEL MOST ACCOMPLISHED?

waking up early and making my bed or following my hair-washing schedule.

HOW DO YOU START YOUR DAY AND END YOUR DAY? IS IT THE SAME EVERY DAY NO MATTER WHAT?

never the same, but I’m always an early riser and like starting the day with the holy trinity: lemon water, coffee, and a cold face wash. Ending my night looks a lot like tea in bed binge-watching a crime documentary.

KISSES OR CUDDLES?

WHAT IS YOUR FAV QUOTE AND WHY?

my Nonno always told me: “You are a sheep among wolves, be wise as a serpent yet innocent as a dove” In other words have the courage to think and act for yourself whenever possible rather than being swept along on the tide and put equal weight on both qualities when making decisions for ourself.

WHAT IS YOUR DOGS NAME?

Bloo (“blue”)! He’s a blue-nose Pitbull and the sweetest thing – Scott rescued him before we got together. The pound named him Blooper originally and Scott renamed him to just Bloo.

WHAT IS YOUR BACKGROUND?

DO YOU THINK THAT YOUR 30S WILL BE BETTER THAN YOUR 20S?

30’s are where it’s at, no questions. I’m so much more confident, I’m happy, I feel grounded and unlike in my twenties, I don’t feel like I’m trying to figure out where I belong, which was always the biggest hurdle. But my twenties prepared me for that because as selfish, wild, and fun as they were, it was hard. I went through a lot of shit, learned a lot, lost a lot, and maybe it’s why things are so rewarding now.

If I’m not taking shots of tequila, it’s gonna be an Aperol Spritz or cold Modelo.

no favorites but right now I’m digging my little horned cherub on my forearm the most.

HOW MANY HOURS ARE ENOUGH HOURS FOR CURATING AN IG FEED?

because I’m indecisive the limit does not exist but for the sake of my sanity, I give myself an hour before taking a break and revisiting the drawing board if I’m not instantly in love with what my first hour brings. It’s all about balance, yo.
