1. Must-attend events: Hats in the Garden—I feel it’s the start of season; Celebrity Martini Glass Auction, a fun, giving event that supports those who have served our country; and Magic Under the Mangroves, which supports the Conservancy of Southwest Florida.
2. Best read: The Seven Spiritual Laws of Success by Deepak Chopra. It’s a spiritual and easy blueprint for fulfilling your dreams.
3. Favorite jewelry designer: Ippolita, available at Saks. A close runner-up is Tamara Comolli from Marissa Collections. Both are casual and can work for every day.
4. Go-to hostess gift: BRuno’s Sugarfina treats, fun cocktail napkins, and candles.
5. What few people know about her: I’m originally from New York; I taught high school history in Pittsburgh inner-city schools and loved it; I’ve been to several Chopra Center retreats, and I walked on hot coals with Tony Robbins.
6. Signature sip: Moscow Mule. I drink it from the copper mugs passed down to me by my father. It’s cool and refreshing, but also sentimental for me.
7. Fictional hero: Wonder Woman. I bought that martini glass at the last Celebrity Martini Glass Auction.
8. Favorite local bites: Sea Salt’s New Vision Caesar Salad at dinner, and the Lobster Reuben when I am splurging at lunch.
