6:45 AM My day starts and it’s always a race to wake up first; because whoever wakes up last walks the dog Liberace, and it’s usually Simon, my husband. Then I get straight to the gym in the morning, where I work out my rage and frustration by lifting weights, running, doing lots and lots of just different violent workouts rather than a different sort of a spiritual yoga situation. It’s like unless I’m channeling some sort of lunatic rage, I’m not feeling like I’m working out. It’s got to be high impact.
9:00 AM So I’ve had an intense morning by the time I get to work at 9 am. When I get to work there’s no rage and I have worked through any issues. I am a delight all day long, as any of my employees can tell you. My day is fun from the minute I get up until the minute I get to sleep. Work for me is not like work for most people. I get to have the most diverse work day (which I think is what everyone should strive for in their career). I might get to the office and throw a pot in my pottery studio, then have a meeting on the fashion accessories we are doing. Basically my day is spent working on design from the time I get to work till the time I go home. My job is a dream and I am the luckiest person on earth.
1:00 PM Every day I go to lunch at 1 pm at Giorgioni and sit at a corner table that’s always kept for us. I go there with my work husband David, who is the president of my company, and talk about our routine. I have a delicious Chicken Parmagiano. My breakfast is high protein and my lunch is very ‘Real Housewives,’ low carb. It’s a delight.
7:00 PM I get home for the evening usually around 7 pm. And then play ping pong with my husband, and win (obviously,) and have a good chuckle and chitty- chat with him for hours. I watch TV and then ruin my diet after dinner with about 75 cookies. And before bed, I always walk the dog.
