Lightening Round with Clare Cirillo

 

Getting Personal with Clare Cirillo, Model, Founder of OverLay Fashion + Social Media Strategist.

 
 

My name is:

Clare Cirillo

I’m a:

Social Media Marketing Manager, Model, Co-founder of OverLay Fashion with my mom, and love to be in the know with the latest health trends. I like to wear many hats. :)

For me, wellness means":

Feeling good in my own skin, moving my body everyday in some way (walking, yoga, going to the gym, biking to work, etc.). I recently learned it is all about your mind. If my mind is healthy, everything else follows.

I’m out of bed at:

7:30a.m. the latest, even on weekends. I can’t sleep in!

My morning routine goes something like this:

Wake up, coffee, recently been biking or walking in the morning, and go to work!

Coffee or tea?

Coffee. As many times as I try to wean off, it will always be coffee!

I take it :

Black, and that’s not for health reasons. I hate milk/cream (including almond milk because to me it tastes like milk!)

Go-to Breakfast:

Avocado toast! I hate breakfast food (eggs, oatmeal, anything sweet really!) So I’m always eating lunch food for breakfast :)

Lunch is:

Normally around 1 or 2pm. I love to eat a big green salad for lunch with kale to get in my vitamins. I’ll put in quinoa or farro, sweet potato, lots of veggies, beans for protein, and avocado green goddess dressing!

Dinner is often:

I have whatever I want for dinner. Usually a protein pasta with veggie burger crumbles and red sauce, vegetarian burritos, falafel, rice and beets if we’re cooking mediteranian, pizza with veggies and some salad, veggie burgers and a side.

Ideal meal:

Spaghetti pomodoro (if it’s done right) if I’m doing italian, chips and guacamole with a veggie enchilada if I’m doing mexican, or a great veggie burger on a toasted healthy bun with beet ketchup and sweet potato wedges and salad.

Favorite indulgence:

Ice cream, it’s the only thing I eat that isn’t vegan besides cheese!

Go-to workout:

Recently, yoga! I used to push myself to do a workout at the gym 4 or 5 times a week, but realized I actually don’t actually like doing that; so I’ve been changing it up.

Best way to fuel “on-the-go” or ot a shoot:

I always have a Kind Bar in my bag. It’s the only kind of bar I eat because they’re all natural and I can read and understand all of the ingredients. I stay away from anything that’s “fake” (Quest bars, cliff bars, etc.)

Must have beauty products:

Eyebrow pencil, highlighter, lip balm (Sugar from Sephora is my favorite), and a good face moisturizer!

My regular skin routine includes:

All I do it wash my face in the shower and moisturize! And, one/two times a week face mask.

Best beauty advice I’ve ever received:

You don’t need to wash your hair everyday. I wash mine twice a week now!

Go to look:

Plain white or black t-shirt or cashmere sweater, a good pair of jeans, and my gucci loafers.

On a Friday night, you can find me":

At the movies or out to dinner with my boyfriend, or out with friends in NYC!

Words to live by/life philosophy:

Words to live by/life philosophy: Be positive and see the good in everything. When I turned 25, I realized that there is no time to be pessimistic; or to surround myself with negative people.

Thank you CLARE for giving us a sneak peak into your wellness routine.

My name is:

Tina Brodsky

I’m a:

Divorced mom of 3, Consultant at Beautycounter and Partner in a group that purchases real estate around the country.

My non-negotiable wellness habits:

Are healthy eating, regular exercise, getting my daily dose of inspiration, motivation, support and laughter.

For me, wellness means":

That my mind, body and spirit are in tune with one another and moving in the same direction.

I wake up each day at:

6:30am on weekdays and 7:30 or 8am on weekends.

My morning routine goes something like this:

I wake up, scrape my tongue (which I learned to do at an ayurveda retreat), spray rose water in my eyes (also learned to do at the retreat), drink a glass of water, have breakfast and walk my dog.

My morning beverage of choice is:

Water followed by a cup of coffee made in my Keurig.

I take my coffee:

With a splash of organic whole milk.

Go-to Breakfast:

My favorite raw protein bar - Raw Rev Glo OR homemade coconut chia pudding with berries OR a healthy blueberry banana muffin (I make a batch and freeze them for convenience).

Lunch is:

A salad made with lots of different raw and cooked veggies and some protein

I like to snack on:

Granny smith apples with almond butter OR plain greek yogurt with a splash of maple syrup and fresh berries

Dinner is often:

Some variation of what I make for my kids. I often substitute in zucchini noodles or sauteed kale and roasted sweet potatoes.

I’m in bed by:

11:30pm (way too late).

My favorite way to get my sweat on is:

To spin or do warm yoga.

My go to skin care products are:

All from Beautycounter.  They’re a mission based company with the goal of getting safe products into the hands of everyone.  They create and sell luxury, high performance personal care products without the inclusion of toxic ingredients harmful to human health.   I love everything but swear by the Cleansing Balm (my nightly moisturizer and eye makeup remover in one), Nourishing Day Cream mixed with Plumpling Face Oil and Hydrating Body Lotion mixed with Rosemary Citrus Body Oil.

My regular skin routine includes:

Cleansing, applying a toner, serum, moisturizer mixed with oil and then a sunscreen (Beautycounter makes an amazing tinted moisturizer with a mineral based sunscreen).

My fav non-toxic beauty products are:

Beautycounter’s entire Countertime Anti-Aging Collection, Plumping Facial Oil and Citrus Rosemary Body Oil (to mix with moisturizer & body lotion), Dew Skin Tinted Moisturizer, Countersun Tinted Mineral Sunscreen Mist, the very versatile Lotus Glow Cleansing Balm, Volumizing Mascara and my favorite shade of Sheer Lipstick

For me, self care means:

Nurturing my mind, body and spirit so that they are all in tune with each other and moving in the same direction. I LOVE a regular massage, reflexology, my favorite yoga class or walking my dog while listening to an inspiring talk or podcast.

On a Friday night, you can find me":

Out for dinner or drinks with friends OR at home relaxing with a good book or TV show while my kids entertain their friends.

Words to live by/life philosophy:

Discover your purpose (the reason that you were put on this earth) focus in on it, repeat it to yourself everyday and go after it. Stay in your own lane in life; the paths of others are already taken. Be grateful for everything that you have and are. Trust the universe and practice detached involvement, giving every effort your all but also realizing that you don’t control the ultimate outcome.

If I had known then what I know now, I would tell my younger self:

Don’t be afraid of failure. Try everything that you can. Act on your thoughts before they drift away and never materialize. Being successful in any undertaking is a delicate balance between contemplation and action.

Thank you TINA for giving us a sneak peak into your wellness routine.
