what inspired you to launch a new business?
tarin came to california to visit me for a weekend. we started talking about what we would really love to do in life, & we observed that our dreams totally merged with our strengths & talents. we realized that it was a no-brainer to start fullosophie together.
if you had to sum up your personal fullosophie in one sentence, what would it be?
do what you love; life's too short for anything else.
what’s your favorite way to exercise?
even after five knee surgeries, i'd still have to say running (against my orthopedic surgeon's wishes). when my knees won’t let me run as much as i’d like, i love to do pilates & swim.

 jess' favorite way to exercise growing up and all through college. #18 on clemson women's soccer team. |
where do you shop for everyday clothes? for workout gear?
the sale rack. i love scoring a good deal. as for workout gear, i do love perusing the sports basement in san francisco, and never turn away a gift from lululemon. i do splurge on running shoes every three to four months.
what’s the best thing you’ve eaten recently?
omg – this sushi dish at nobu last week. it was red snapper sashimi on top of peeled fuji apple slices, topped with jalapeno relish & nori flakes. it was unreal.

even though i lived here for two years before moving to san francisco, the only restaurant i can think of right now is breadwinners. the top two places i want to try are shinsei & oak.
what piece of kitchenware could you never go without?
a coffee mug.
if you could take a vacation anywhere in the world, where would you go?
