It’s the best lip balm. When I was younger, I used Vaseline or Aquaphor, but it would create this white line around my lips. I’m not sure, but I think it’s because I didn’t exfoliate my lips back when I was like 10-years-old. I didn’t know. But this is one of the lip balms I’ve found that does not do that. I stick with the classic berry one, and it just smells so good. It’s maybe one of five products in my entire self-care skin-care journey that just hasn’t changed in years.

My mom has wavy hair that she just brushes out and puts into a braid. Mine is much curlier than hers, and growing up, she was very good about hair oiling and braiding my hair. But when I started auditioning and doing self-tapes, I wanted my hair out. There was just no way to make it look halfway decent. I started off with Cantu, and that really flopped. It dried my hair out. It’s been a long journey of finding hair products that work for me. This one’s actually hydrating and keeps my curls in place. I’ve used it for years now. It’s a good staple for any weather condition.

When my Notes app crashed on me, it was the most harrowing experience. Now, I make sure to write down things I want to remember, whether it’s a thought or something someone’s said. On flights, I like to write, because it feels like a productive use of my time, too. I always have my green Moleskine on me, but I’ll admit I’m not great about journaling regularly. It’s something I like to have if inspiration strikes. I like how simple this looks. A more garish design would feel like I’m putting up a façade. Maybe if I was more regular about it, I’d bedazzle it, but I keep it simple.

My dad is really big into photography. This was his camera originally and is my first film camera. It’s not the most beginner-friendly, but because I grew up around cameras and equipment strung around our house, I knew the general workings of it. To this day, I think it’s the film camera I use the most. It’s very big and heavy, but it takes the most beautiful pictures. The lens on this camera is a zoom lens, so it’s notoriously difficult to set focus. Without fail, if I’m photographing someone, there’s always a conversation to get the right shot. That moment always gets imprinted in my head. One special period I got to document with this was when I went to Thailand, Mykonos, Cannes, and London — partly for work and partly for enjoyment. I like capturing those moments and the people in your life in a way that’s tangible.

I can’t eat whey protein much or anything with heavy lactose, because it breaks me out. This is dairy-free and has never broken me out. I like that the ingredients are very simple: just egg whites, nuts, and dates. They don’t taste like shit either. They’re not chalky like other protein bars or trying to be something it’s not. Like, if I wanted birthday cake, I would just eat actual cake. I don’t want a birthday-cake-flavored brick of obscure mushed-up crap. It’s just not my truth. I prefer the simple flavors. You can taste the dates, the nuts, the vanilla. It’s reliable.

When an actor’s on set, you’re always given comfort shoes. More often than not, they’re UGGs. On the last day of filming, I walked home in my UGGs, so they ended up coming with me. Now, they’re a staple. I have six pairs. Living in New York for the past couple of years, I switch between whichever ones aren’t utterly decimated. But I love them. I actually wore the basic brown mid-height ones to my graduation, because they’re so comfortable.
