Ep. 77: Committing to Your Body, a Plant-Based Diet & Natural Skincare Ft Annya Santana
“Your health is your responsibility, it’s really up to you” — Annya Santana explains this truth to me & a sold-out crowd in NYC for this live edition of Naked Beauty
Annya joins me to talk about how we care for our body as part of our beauty routine. Annya is firmly #teamfitness & team #plantbased vegan & I couldn’t be more inspired. We talk about how she started her health journey, how she’s been able to maintain her plant-based diet & how she’s been able to bring her Dominican family along in the process. Listen to hear us discuss:
Running the NY marathon for her Dad (but also low-key all runners hate running lol)
Committing to working out
Buckram (Hot) Yoga as the kick starter
Eating meat & factory farming
Wellness coming to Paris & how French women eat
Reading labels for skincare
How going vegan changed her period, menstrual cramps & skin
Learning to love reading labels for skincare
Gendered Skincare & Clean Beauty
What she eats to stay fulfilled on a plant-based diet
How to curb cravings & self-educate

Ep. 72: Being Chic AF by Doing Whatever You Want Ft Sophia Roe
“I have a story. It’s hard, it’s gnarly but it’s not about the story, it’s what you do with it.” - Sophia Roe, my incredible guest for this special episode of Naked Beauty.
Sophia’s wisdom, humor and excitement for life are all so refreshing and a joy to witness. I loved learning about how she got her start in high-end restaurants, then to catering, and how her love of food has evolved over time. We talk clean beauty and the correlation between skin and food, make-up girls vs skincare girls, curly hair care, and how her esthetician changed her skin forever.
Sophia grew up in and out of foster care. Her mother, who suffered from substance abuse and addiction, was still there for her in her own unique way that Sophia remembers fondly. We talk about how her iconic haircut came to her in a dream, moving to New York City and finding her style. She shares that she got her first manicure at 28 and what it was like for her to suddenly work at an office when she began working at MILK Makeup.
Listen to hear us discuss: tattoos, infrared facials, finding confidence when you need to be on camera, lack of diversity in the wellness industry and how she handles it, her must-have beauty products, the book she’s writing and so much more!
