Your biggest fashion faux pas or a regrettable purchase:
MaryAnn
My biggest fashion mistake is purchasing individual items I LOVE, but not complimentary pieces, so I end up never wearing them, for not having put it all together at once. I need a personal stylist!

Your greatest achievement:
MaryAnn
Two happy kids. I realize just HAVING kids can hardly be considered an achievement, as billions of women have shown they’re up to the task. The achievement is that they’re totally not (yet) screwed up, and in fact, seem pretty happy.
R&S
What do you love most about your work?
MaryAnn
Inventing. Keep is paving the way for a new kind of commerce experience, and there is no roadmap. Everything we do has never been done before – it’s a thrill!

One piece of advice you would give your 18 year old self:
MaryAnn
Don’t be such a prude. There’s time for that in the future. Wear sexy clothes, dance, jump at every opportunity to DO things.
R&S
Your most recent culinary discovery and obsession:
MaryAnn
Love & Lemons blog. Real food, simply prepared, and delicious.

The beauty product found in your bag at all times:
MaryAnn
Shu Umura (sp) Eyelash curler. I was NOT blessed with lush lashes…

Charities you support:
MaryAnn
While technically not a charity, my kids’ public school appreciates all kinds of parental contributions, mostly with time/effort, vs. $$. I am active on the STEM Day committee, with hopes to inspire kids K-5 with a love of technology that will drive them towards those fields in high school and beyond.
