Naked Beauty

The Naked Beauty fragrance is finally here! Over the course of the last 10 years, I’ve been experimenting with creating my own fragrances, mixing essential oils until I found blends that I loved. Now, many years later, my very first fragrance, Naked Beauty has finally launched, and I wanted to give you an in-depth look at what it took to make the fragrance. From smelling over 15 different iterations of the fragrance to creative directing my own campaign in the canyon behind my home, this was a true labor of love. Listen for more details on the making of the fragrance - it’s a whole new way to experience Naked Beauty. Buy the Naked Beauty FragranceSee the campaign images for yourself Rate, Subscribe & Review the Podcast on Apple Thanks for all the love and support.

"If you're not getting nos, you're not challenging yourself to your full potential."Last month, Sir John and I had a great live show in Beverly Hills.

The energy in the room was amazing, and the conversation was so incredible that Sir John and I knew we had to bring these topics to the larger Naked Beauty audience. We had a beautiful discussion on personal growth, building an authentic personal brand, and the impact of meaningful connections.

Over the course of 18 packed hours, I shadowed the ambitious and energetic Sabrina Elba for 54 Magazine. When 54 reached out and asked me to write the cover story on Sabrina and her award-winning S'ABLE Labs brand I knew I had to do it, despite having never written a cover story before. In less than 24 hours, Sabrina and I did pilates, tested lab samples, met with her woman-led team, and danced the night away at a party hosted by Naomi Campbell.

“At the top of the list of what you need to know about Tanner Adell is she is glam country, it's definitely a defining feature for me.”For our second episode together, Sir John and I sat down with someone we feel is truly blazing her own trail and looking incredible doing it: Tanner Adell.

During our conversation, Tanner talked to Sir John and I about how a foundation of self-possession has poised her to meet these incredible milestones with confidence and grace.
