JP: Just one son and he’s my favorite.

CB: Did you grow up in a big family?

JP: I’m an only child.


CB: What is the best beauty secret from your mother?

JP: My grandmother raised me and she would laugh all the time, I think that was her beauty secret.

CB: Any beauty or wellness rituals you like to share with your child?

JP: I love taking baths with my son, it’s our little bonding time. The Costa Brazil shower gel from the Spa Collection is my favorite; they’re perfect for our sensitive skin, and the scent is addictive.


CB: Favorite gift to give on Mother's Day?

JP: Flowers, always. My mother-in-law loves hydrangeas.


CB: And now, favorite gift to receive on Mother's Day?

A scented candle, because nothing beats soft candlelight and a home that smells amazing.

CB: What is your favorite time of day with your son?

JP: I love mornings with my son. He wakes up with the biggest smile and is so happy to see me. We share a banana toast, hold hands on the way to school, and every day feels like a new adventure through his eyes.
