Regina Smith of Gritty Buddha

Interview with Regina Smith, founder of Gritty Buddha

-

Inspiration
Fave discovery: That the answer is always no unless you ask…and if your ask isn't big enough, it’s on you. I’ve discovered that there’s no sense or joy in playing small and the Universe is ready to conspire with you when you ask for big things that do good.

What inspires you: The possibility for myself and others to reach goals and make a positive impact on our lives and this world beyond what we see as reasonable. My family. Love.

Necessary extravagance: Traveling often to beautiful places, even if I just sneak away for 2 days. My soul shrivels up if I don’t…and big high end watches…

Fave place in the world: It’s a tie between Bellagio, Italy and Monaco.

Fave movies: Midnight in Paris. Casino Royale.

Fave colors: Bright hues of green and turquoise and pinky oranges. I love the colors of the south of France.

Fashion idols: Audrey Hepburn. Diane Keaton. Twiggy.
