In May of 2013, my health and appearance were at an all time low. I had just finished graduate school, where sleep, a balanced diet and exercise were mostly non-existent. I was uncomfortable. My clothes didn’t fit anymore and I lacked understanding of what it meant to be “healthy.” Read more>>

I first started getting into yoga in high school simply as an after school activity. I had recently injured my knee quite badly and had to stop doing exercise such as running, which was when I turned to yoga. I quickly realized that yoga went far beyond the physical practice. Read more>>

I am not one of those chefs who went to culinary school, or had a parent/grandparent who taught me how to cook, or who grew up in a kitchen. I just liked food and I liked to create, so I began playing. And because of my passion for food and the nourishing art of it, I kept finding work in the field. Read more>>

LaLaLove began when I had just finished recording my 1st album demo circa 2013. The idea was like a lightning strike that came fully loaded with the name, image and concept. During that special time when you’re happily locked away in a studio, you become a festering laboratory of musical ideas spilling over. Read more>>

I started making ice cream in my kitchen with a little Kitchenaid ice cream maker (the kind where you have to freeze the bowl). At the time, I was working in the kitchen at Union Square Donuts, a donut company with small beginnings, which inspired me to branch out on my own. Read more>>

Growing up, my dream was to be on Broadway. I was a musical theatre kid, always in a show: completely taken by Bernadette Peters and Audra McDonald. In sixth grade, I went to see Wicked in Times Square. My memory of that evening set the stage (no pun intended) for everything that was to come. Read more>>

While I was finishing up my last year at UC Berkeley, I found that I lived a few blocks away from a little shop called Paco Collars. I was intrigued by the fashionable people hammering away at rivets and studs and a sun-tanning Xoloitzcuintli in the window so I went inside and learned that they made high-quality custom leather dog collars from scratch.
