Mary Ralph Lawson has always been someone I look up too!! Her energy and spirit are amazing and her LOVE for life and adventure always makes me excited!! The positivity and love she has can leave a room smiling big. Today I am SO excited to post my interview with the AMAZING Mary Ralph Lawson!!

How do you seek positivity?
By putting myself around people that radiate it! I surround myself with yes people – not meaning they always agree with me but those willing to go on an adventure – those that see the positive side of things – those willing to speak truth – being with others that love Jesus !! I am a believer in you are who you surround yourselves with, so put yourself around people you want to become more like.

How do you share positivity?
I think through something as simple as a smile — love the quote “it’s better to be the one that smiled than the one that didn’t smile back” so when in doubt SMILE – you could change someone’s entire day, week, year. also: compliment, ALOT !! we don’t do it enough because we are worried about what others will think — but when did you ever not like being told something nice — I promise you it won’t only make someone else feel good but it will make your day — try it !!

What is your favorite Fashion trend right now?
anything with FUR!!! obsessed with fur coats, fur purse puffs, fur puffs for your shoes, fur slides … the list goes on. fun way to spice up any outfit. & I would also add stars — and I think soph might agree with me on that one:)

Beauty trend?
I would say my fav beauty trend is more skin care and less makeup. I’m obsessed with mask / facials / and perfectly shaped brows. I think what’s underneath is more important than the contouring and heavy eye shadow you put on top – but thats just me – and the fact that I live at the beach might have something to do with it!

How do you define personal style?
I would say effortless chic or casual chic – love mixing casual with designer — and I’m not afraid to try something new — i love to have fun with it.

What do you think is the craziest food trend right now?
hmmm…– maybe how much we spend on liquids … kombuchas –green smoothies —to waters whether it is smart sparking or black — matcha — veuve — liquids are my jam!! ha!

Describe your style in 3 words?
Casual. Chic. Fun.

What is an everyday outfit for you?
Hmmm I would say in the winters in Malibu it’s leggings a cute sweater and my golden goose tennis shoes – because I can wear it to class and to workout. In the summers in Malibu it’s a bikini and turkish towel- nothing better.

Bronzer Bronzer Bronzer, some mascara and bright blush! Not too much but just enough to enhance what you have!

What is your favorite way to workout?
Pilates: I have been obsessed lately -it is a good stretch &sweat …and you get to wear cute leggings while doing it.

What is your favorite place you have traveled to?

What 3 things do you always have with you?
