What is your greatest strength?

I would say my greatest strength is my work ethic. I get it from my mother and my grandmother, who are the hardest working women I have ever met. No day is too long, no task is too large. I get an invigorating feeling from hustling all day and night. I have always had an ability to just go for it and work as hard as I can. I live by the mantra ” they can’t stop you if you don’t stop” and I never do.

Do you have any hidden talents?

I can do a really good Britney Spears impersonation.

The Canna-cure of course!

Crystals and glitter! I love a little Swarovski sparkle or glitter on my nails.

Mimosa

Manicures and Pedicures- same time or staggered?

At the same time!

Matching nail and toe polish colors?

I love to mix and match! I love to put my accent color on my pointer fingers and toes!

What is your go-to restaurant and/or bar in town?

I am obsessed with Bestia in DTLA. Every time is like the first time at Bestia, the food never disappoints.

Drugstore or department store beauty products?

Neither! I love supporting online brands like Limecrime. I am obsessed with their Velvetine lips!

Best way to stay youthful looking?

Cannabis! CBD fights inflammation, which is why I incorporate it into my daily routine. I take a daily CBD supplement orally, then always add it to my serums. It’s incredible what it does for acne prone skin like mine. Being able to see it work its magic on pimples is truly mind blowing!

Shay Mitchell

Leyla Milani

Who do you admire most? What would you want to ask this person?
