What are your top 5 Alima Pure products?

Dry brushing and going on hikes with my dog.
What is your favorite fall trend?
Bold eyeshadows worn casually.

Satin Finishing Powder. I’m a very loyal fan of this versatile product. For years I gave it to friends as an introduction to Alima. I’ve also been gifting a lot of Natural Definition Mascaras and Natural Definition Eye Pencils since they launched.
What has been your favorite limited edition collection?
By Night. The five eyeshadows are so beautiful and wearable.

Forest Park. It’s one of the largest urban forests in the US with close to 70 miles of trails.
What is the best advice you’ve ever been given?
Be the sky, not the weather.

I really like visiting loved ones, seeing art, eating good food, and being outside. I have Ethiopia, Japan, and the Painted Hills in eastern Oregon at the top of my current wishlist.
Do you have a style uniform?
I wear things that make me happy. I have also been told by many friends that I wear a lot of white.

I just passed the official 8 year mark in June.
