“My eating habits aren’t very sophisticated. I try to stick to a healthy
protein- and fber-heavy diet, but I’m not super hardcore. I eat like a
child in a lot of ways; pizza and hamburgers are favorites.” BREAK-
FAST: “Egg whites and kale or an apple with an Orgain chocolate fudge
protein shake—it tastes like chocolate milk. I drink more cafeinated liquids than actual water, usually two to
three cups of cofee a day.” LUNCH: “I often eat at my desk or in meetings: a salad with raisins, cranberries,
and candied walnuts and steak, sardines, or anchovies on top. Snacking on IPS Egg White Ch(ips) gets me
through the day.” DINNER: “My housekeeper or I will cook something simple: chicken breast with lentils,
margarita pizza, burritos, or tomato soup with quesadillas. When I go out I like Bestia for pork chops, Bottega
Louie for salmon, and Water Grill for seafood. I love their swordfsh, and I would live of their oysters if I could.
There are some weeks where I don’t drink and others where I have a glass of wine every night, so it really
depends on my social calendar.” SPLURGES: “Chocolate chip cookies, brownies, and vanilla ice cream.”FiTNess
“My goal is to walk 14,000 steps a day, or about
an hour and a half on my treadmill. I do it
while taking calls in the morning before work.
Sometimes I incorporate 15-minute sprints.”sK iN
“I book a facial every two weeks with aesthetician Mia Belle at my der-
matologist Harold Lancer’s ofce in Beverly Hills. She tailors each treat-
ment to my needs at that moment. I recently tried a peel too, which left
my skin looking amazing, so I’m defnitely going to add that to my skin
routine. I probably should get Botox; I frown a lot, and running a business takes a toll on one’s face. At home
I exfoliate, cleanse, and moisturize with Dr. Lancer’s Method system. I also like Lancer Advanced C Radiance
Cream with vitamin C and retinol [$75], Clé de Peau Beauté eye cream [$250], and Éminence Organic masks.”MaK eUP
“Either a Laura Mercier tinted moistur-
izer [$43] or Chanel’s Vitalumière foun-
dation [$55] on my face, with blush
from my Claudio Riaz Instant Face
Palette [$137] or Nars’s Multiple in Orgasm [$39; #3]. For my eyes, I use an Urban Decay Naked eye-
shadow palette [$54; #2], Lancôme Le Crayon Kôhl pencil [$26], and Maybelline Great Lash mascara
[$6.40]. Lately I haven’t been doing much on my lips. I like the Clinique Chubby Stick balms [$17], but
when I want something bold I’ll wear the crimson shade called Stunner from our M.A.C. x Nasty Gal
collaboration [$16]. I get gel manicures at Bellacures in L.A. I’m really into red glitter right now.”Hair
“I have a very conficted relationship with my bangs. The last time
I went to get them trimmed, I Googled ‘bangs’ for inspiration, and
a picture of me popped up. It made me feel like a caricature. I go to
Mèche Salon. Colorist Tracey Cunningham dyes it slightly darker for
me, and stylist Stacy Ho cuts it. Right now I’m letting it grow longer—it’s nice to have a substantial ponytail.
I wash my hair daily with Bumble and Bumble Color Minded shampoo [$31] and Let It Shine Conditioner
[$26], then I spritz on Oribe Dry Texturizing Spray [$42] or Phyto volumizing spray [$29] and let it air-dry wavy.
I’ve done the Brazilian Blowout a bunch of times because it calms the frizz and makes my hair more manageable.”B OdY
“I’m a huge sucker for spa treatments. The Red Flower Hammam
Experience at the Sahra Spa & Hammam, at the Cosmopolitan
in Las Vegas, is so luxurious—you lie on a warm stone, and they
pour water over your body. I haven’t been able to fnd a really
great spa in L.A., so I have a masseur who comes to my house. I use Epicuren body cleansers and moistur-
izers, and I like Le Labo Lys 41 [$240], Marni [$105; #1], and Byredo Gypsy Water [$220] fragrances.” ➤ john sciulli/getty images. still life: jon paterson/studio d. fragrance: courtesy marni
