Kristin and I met a few years ago…
I love being around her, because she reminds me that life doesn’t need to be so serious. She is a VERY busy woman, but ALWAYS manages to have a smile on her face, not to mention, perfectly shiny red, blown-out hair. Just being around her puts you in a good mood. I swear.
This is what Kristin has to say about love and life. Get ready to be inspired:
Q: What piece of Be Well with Arielle iloveme collection do you have? Metal, Color of Pearl, Diamond?
I have an loveme ring – sterling silver with white freshwater pearl
Q: How often do you wear your ring, necklace, earrings?
I wear my iloveme ring every single day, since I purchased it. I very rarely forget it, but when I have, I go back home to get it before heading to where I’m going. I feel off balance without it.
Q: What is one word that describes how the iloveme ring/earrings/necklace makes you feel?
There isn’t just one word- this ring is powerful. It makes me feel inspired and loved. It’s energizing! My iloveme ring is a daily reminder to me of how much love I have for myself and for others.
Q: Where have you gotten compliments on your iloveme jewellry? Any funny stories about it?
I receive compliments almost everyday. So many people tell me it’s a “cool” piece of jewelry. Then when I share with them the iloveme engraving they like it even more. I’ve run into other girls on the subway or out on the streets in New York and it’s a great conversation starter. It’s almost as if you automatically become friends when you see you both have this jewelry. When I see the girls who are wearing a piece from the iloveme collection, I know they have similar feelings, thoughts and intentions- they’re looking to help spread the love. When you love yourself, it’s easy to share that love with others.
Q: What is your purpose? aka what drives you?
My purpose is to love. My friends and family drive me. Hearing others doing well and doing great things is inspiring and motivating.
Q: What song pumps you up? Name of song and artist?
There are so many good songs out there, but Lady Gaga gets me pumped up every time. You and I and Edge of Glory are on constant replay on my iPod lately.
Q: Whats your favorite chillaxin activity?
When I have time to “chillax”, I like to read or meditate. I love writing in a journal too. It feels so good to put my thoughts and feelings on paper and into the Universe. It’s also fun to go back and read what you wrote.
Q: Whats your favorite nailpolish color? Brand and color?
Essie has two great deep red colors that I love- Poor Li’l Rich Girl and Material Girl. I also love browns right now- OPI’s You Don’t Know Jacques is a great color.
Q: Whats your favorite quote?
“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won’t feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It’s not just in some of us; it’s in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.- Marianne Williamson, A Return to Love
Q: What is one trait- personality or physical feature that you love about your yourself?
I love my hair. I have red hair and growing up I felt like an outcast because I was the only one with it. I didn’t have beautiful, long blonde or brunette hair. I was always picked on by the boys. I used to want to look like all of my girlfriends, but as I got older I realized having red hair was a good thing. It made me unique. I don’t want to look like everyone else. I want to stand out. I love being the one of very few females with beautiful, long natural red hair.
Q: What is one thing that you’re looking forward to doing this week?
I am looking forward to taking time for myself during this Thanksgiving week. I will have time off work and cannot wait to relax and give thanks for everything I have. I’ve worked very hard this year, and to have a few days to myself to do whatever I choose to do is luxurious!
ABOUT ILOVME MONDAYS:

So, I decided to capture these stories through “iloveME Mondays”- a post on my client, including a snapshot and some fun tidbits about them.
