GM: What's your favorite product in your line?

GM: What's one thing you can't leave the house without?
KG: Sunscreen, I’ve become so steeped in the habit that if I forget, it feels like I’ve forgotten my cell phone!
GM: Number one beauty tip?
KG: Sunscreen. Let’s change the conversation to focus on prevention vs. repair.

KG: Kindess.
GM: Favorite Goodmylk product?
KG: Oat mylk, hands down.
GM: Best quarantine purchase?

GM: Lotion or serums?
KG: Oil serums, no question.
GM: Which is more serious; your morning routine or night routine?
KG: Morning, did I mention my love of sunscreen?
GM: Favorite female-founded brand?
KG: Eileen Fisher. For over 35 she has been supporting the environment, human rights, initiatives for women and girls. Plus there’s an emphasis on timeless clothing designed with the future in mind and I think fast fashion’s days are numbered.

GM: Favorite female lead movie?
