Your current Netflix addiction:
Dana
Better Call Saul! Breaking Bad was possibly one of my favorite shows ever (I love a good chemistry lab!). I usually fall asleep within the first 10 minutes of any show and so it takes me several nights to get through an episode but it is worth it!
R&S
What do you love most about your work:
Dana
I am a problem solver and there is nothing more satisfying than to be able to treat an issue that someone has suffered with for years or to make a life saving diagnosis. Being able to create innovative problem/solution oriented nail products enables me to help a large population of people who are in need of a solution.

Your most recent culinary discovery and obsession:
Dana
My friend, Carissa Waechter of Carissa’s Breads recently moved her headquarters to a bake shop in East Hampton. When she first opened I decided to pay her a visit, and she handed me a croissant that had just come out of the oven and was possibly the best thing I have ever eaten. She is a baking goddess (and I am not afraid of bread!).

Dana
My day starts early, and by 9 a.m. the kids are off to school and I am working.

A secret talent we should know about:
Dana
I’ve always been very athletic. Now that my boys are involved in a lot of sports I will often throw on a batting helmet or play a little two-on-two touch football, and they are always very impressed with their mother’s skills!
R&S
You decompress each day by:
Dana
Transcendental Meditation (TM). I meditate twice a day thanks to Bob Roth, CEO of the David Lynch Foundation who taught me this life changing skill.

Where does your credit card get the most use:
Dana
Amazon! I live full time in Amagansett, NY where we don’t have access to a lot of larger retail stores, especially in the off-season, and so I rely on my Amazon prime account for almost everything these days! As a mother of three boys, we are constantly in need of stuff.
R&S
Your whole day was just cancelled and your schedule is wide open, what do you do:
Dana
A run on the beach with my basset hound Bo and then a quick dip in the ocean followed by an outdoor shower, heaven!

Something you never see going out of style is:
Dana
Healthy, beautiful nails! We are all living in a handheld world where the focus is on the hand. Healthy, beautiful nails are more important than ever before.
