What is your favourite coffee machine to have at home, and why?
Nespresso Pixie
I currently have a Nespresso Pixie at home, and my recent favourite is Lumine Coffee on West 4th Ave. Regarding drinks, my choice is the Starbucks Blonder Americano Misto.
Which products do you always bring inside your handbag?
Province en Couleur Lavender Hand Sanitizer
Currently, I would never forget my hand sanitizer and my phone in my handbag.
It has a natural and beautiful lavender aroma, and it is pocket size so I can carry it around.
Otherwise, it will be my card holder from Kate Spade that can hold my compass and credit cards.
Which camera or cellphone do you use to get these high-quality images?
I use a Sony A6400 and iPhone 13 for photos and videos.
If I had to chose one product, it would be my iPhone 13. There are way too many memories and photos in my phone, and I am a heavy social media user which makes it hard for me to leave my phone.
What is your main tip to keep hair always good-looking?
I enjoy using the Aveda Shampure shampoo and conditioner.
They carry all-natural products and it’s great for me who has a eczema on my scalp.
