1. She’s Happy

Zarin opened up about life and wellness secrets in an interview with New You. In it, she talked about what happiness looks like to her. “My secret to happiness is not being in pain physically or emotionally, and I work hard at that emotionally, making sure that my life is in order. Happiness is also that my family is healthy, and I’m very blessed that my parents are still alive and well. Those are the things that make me happy as well as laughing.”

2. She’s All About Self Care

Zarin shared her favorite self-care practices with New You. “I believe you should upkeep your eyebrows, nails, and hair because all of those things are important. That’s self-care, keeping yourself looking good, not just for your husband, but for yourself. I never used to take baths, but it has become a part of my routine to take time out for a bath, turn off the phone, and turn off the lights. While doing so, I will light my manifestation candle.”

3. She Sets Goals

Zarin talked about building a company and brand in her New You interview. “I think it’s really important that you set expectations and goals. It’s an evolution. There’s no one answer. But like any brand, I’d love to be a household name in the global picture. We started as a mask company; then we came up with our candles. Not just any candles but crystal manifestation candles because that’s what’s needed in the universe right now.”

4. She Takes Care Of Her Skin

Zarin shared her skincare secrets in her New You interview. “I usually use a makeup remover again in the morning because sometimes it doesn’t come off at night, and I put on a moisturizer not just on my face but also on my hands. In my family, genetically, our hands get older than our faces. My grandmother had very aged hands and had many birthmarks on them, most likely from the sun damage because most people don’t put sunscreen on their hands. Your hands and your face are out in the world all the time, and the rest of your body is pretty much covered. If there’s one thing you learned today, put sunscreen on your hands because they do age, and you can’t get it back. Once it gets to that point, you can’t unroll it.”

5. She Cooks

Zarin likes to cook meals for herself. On Instagram, she shared her recipe for bruschetta. "I’m making tomato mozzarella basil on chiabatta pressed with @cuisinart machine from @bedbathandbeyond. I used the extra bread and mix with @mikesdeliarthuravenue rosemary olive oil or garlic flavored for croutons. My doctor said I need to put on 10 pounds... I’m too thin!"
