we know you’re juggling a thousand projects, what’s your latest focus?

what was the evolution from makeup artist to business mogul?

Over the years I’ve learned that innovation is key, so I’m always looking for something new & exciting. It’s important for me to translate my inspirations – which I usually get from traveling and meeting women all over the world – into innovative and functional products. Lately, my team and I have been working with color, and teaching women through one-on-one makeup lessons how they can feel comfortable incorporating it into their daily makeup routine.

After getting a degree in theatrical makeup from Emerson College in Boston, I moved to New York City to work as a freelance makeup artist. New York was full of opportunities; it really was the place to be if you were looking to start a career in artistry, film, etc. My first big break was doing a black and white exercise story for Glamour magazine that was shot by Bridgette Lacombe. After years of traveling around the world for my job, I got to the point where I wanted to work and be closer to home.

I had the idea to create my own line of makeup around the time I was pregnant with my first child. I was frustrated by the lack of flattering makeup on the market. It was impossible to find makeup that looked good on skin. I almost always had to ‘fix’ the products I bought, blending shades together until I got something that looked natural. I saw a major void in the cosmetics industry that I knew I could help address. My vision was to create a cosmetics line that looked natural and would match and complement women's complexions. I started with creating lipstick shades that made lips look like lips, only better. Once I had the final product, I was selling the makeup out of my house. It was mail order. And it was written about in Glamour magazine by the beauty editor at the time. And, suddenly we got bombarded with orders. I guess that's when I realized I needed to get more serious. My husband and I invested our savings in the company. It wasn’t much but it was enough to get us started. Bobbi Brown Cosmetics debuted with 10 lipsticks in February 1991 at Bergdorf Goodman. We projected we’d sell 100 lipsticks the first month and ended up selling 100 the first day. In 1995 I got a call from Leonard Lauder and it was then I knew I had made it.

what significant hardships have you faced in your career and how did you overcome them? The greatest challenge that I’ve overcome is learning that I can’t do it all. You have to hire people who are great at what they do and let them do it. Don’t micromanage. It’s important to learn how to delegate.

what’s your daily skincare routine? My daily skincare routine really starts with exercise. Spinning, running and yoga leave me feeling energized and transformed, and my complexion refreshed and radiant. I then clean and moisturize my skin and apply eye cream. On days when I feel very dry I layer with face oil. I think people have a misconception about putting oil on their face, but it’s the best thing.

do you wear makeup everyday? What are your essentials? I don’t wear makeup everyday - I’m not afraid to go barefaced, and often do on the weekends. But when I do wear makeup, I like to use a handful of products that quickly help me look and feel instantly pulled together, as I’m often doing my makeup when I’m on the go. Creamy concealer covers dark circles so I look well-rested; Skin Foundation Stick can be spot-applied just where skin is red or uneven; Pot Rouge, a cream blush, doubles up as a cheek and lip color; and a few coats of the blackest black mascara makes my eyes pop.

what are your 3 favorite makeup products? Corrector/concealer Skin Foundation Stick Smokey Eye Mascara

besides skincare, what else helps you achieve glowing skin? Beautiful skin reflects a healthy lifestyle. Make sure to drink lots of water, exercise regularly, eat well and get plenty of sleep. Good skin starts from the inside.

do you have any daily rituals that keep you balanced and happy? I make time every day to spend time with my family. They’re my biggest priority and the secret to my happiness.

with so many options on the grocery shelf, deciphering what's actually good for you can be tricky. that's where our "purely approved" packaged foods list comes in handy! here's a roundup of healthy gluten-free foods in every category that don't skimp on taste!'

ancient grains 5 ways

1. buckwheat: Buckwheat contains valuable

sources of protein, fiber and b vitamins. Additionally, buckwheat contains potassium, zinc (great for the immune system) and amino acids. This makes buckwheat great for both heart and digestive health.

2. millet: High in magnesium and b vitamins, millet can reduce the severity of asthma and migraines, as well as help your nervous system function optimally.

3. amaranth: Amaranth was a favorite of the

Aztecs for its high nutritional value and ability to thrive in poor soil. It's high in protein, the amino acid lysine, calcium, and b vitamins.

4. kaniwa: This cousin to quinoa is high in protein, fiber, iron and calcium. Unlike quinoa, it does not contain any sapponins (which some associate with a bitter flavor) and has a slightly nutty, sweet taste. It's about half the size of quinoa, and originated in southern Peru. Kaniwa has significantly more iron than quinoaâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;about 60% of your RDA compared to quinoaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 15%.

5. quinoa: A complete protein, this superfood has almost twice as much fiber as other grains. Quinoa promotes digestion, lowers cholesterol and glucose levels, and contains a slew of vitamins and minerals including iron (promotes brain health) and lysine (essential for tissue growth + repair).

Arielle’s 5 Must-Have Cookware Items for a Healthy Kitchen

Having great cookware and gadgets makes the experience of whipping up your favorite dish much more enjoyable.

Medium Skillet or Sauté Pan: High quality stainless steel conducts heat well and evenly, helping to cook food properly. I recommend 11 inch or 13 inch. Scramble some quick eggs after a weekend workout or use it to sauté veggies for an Organic Chicken Enchilada Soup. Medium Sauce Pot: This kind of pot is perfect for making your favorite grains like quinoa or brown rice. My go-to dinner meal is Un-fried Rice Quinoa. Buy stainless steel, but you don’t need to splurge, as you will probably use this less than the skillet. Baking Sheet: The obvious use for this is to bake cookies, but it’s also great for broiling salmon and making Maple Carrot Fries. I recommend one with sides so if you’re cooking dinner with a sauce, the sauce doesn’t spill. Chef’s Knife: Having a high quality, sharp knife is super key to cutting and chopping. From chopping leafy greens and mincing garlic, to julienning red peppers and onions, this knife will become your best friend. Try my Organic Caprese Pizzettes using chopped kale and cherry tomatoes. Mesh Strainer: Whether you need to rinse off fresh berries, or strain just-out-of the-pot pasta, this tool is an absolute must in the kitchen. Also, beans and grains, like quinoa, must be rinsed prior to cooking for ultimate digestibility, so I recommend one with a handle and one with small holes. I rely on my mesh strainer to dethaw peas in this Unfried Rice Quinoa. A good knife, skillet/sauté pan and pot are perfect to get you started. Not ready to invest in everything new? Just pick one and you’ll be cooking up a storm in no time.
