What beauty advice do you find yourself giving to friends and family over and over again? 
"The obvious things that are hardest to maintain. Eat healthy, stay out of the sun, drink plenty of water. Makeup for me has the greatest impact when it is imperceptible. It should enhance your beauty, not replace it. And abide by two strict rules, no blue eyeshadow and frosted lipstick."

What is one beauty product every Chicago girl should have in her bag at all times? 
"Moisturizer (anything from La Mer –it's worth it). Also, red lipstick for a seamless day-to-night transition. If you have to choose between moisturizer and red lipstick choose the lipstick–girls wearing red lipstick have more fun!"
