HC: What would the itinerary for your ideal day look like?
AB: Wake up and then go to a really nice yoga class. Then shower. Then I would get a really good lunch at a health food place, maybe a quinoa/sweet potato salad or something. Maybe get a matcha afterwards and then just hang out with friends. Maybe another shower in there. I love showering.
