"I didn't want to make clothes anymore," says Jenna Lyons, the influential former president and creative director of J. Crew (opens in new tab). So three years ago, she quit her job (opens in new tab). I'm so grateful to have had the time to look at myself and think about what I really enjoy doing," she says. I'm really happy now." Although she admits to being in limbo before finding her next job, Lion spent 2020 in hustle mode: she just launched a beauty brand, Loveseen, with makeup artist Troy Olivier (opens in new tab), and is working on a furniture line and She is designing a boutique hotel in the Bahamas, and her eight-episode show "Stylish with Jenna Lyons" (opens in new tab) will debut on HBO Max on December 3. 'I never thought I'd do a TV show,' she insisted. I just had a meeting," she insists. Don't be shy. I've had a lot of anxiety for a really long time. I'm used to being scared. Here, Lions share a snapshot of her day.

Time to get up? As late as possible. The optimal amount of sleep is 14 hours. The first thing I always do is check on my son and walk the puppy.

How long it takes me to get ready depends on my current Zoom schedule, the person I'm meeting, and how glamorous they look and ultimately whether they expect to see me. My skincare routine consists of Arcona's Brightening Gommage (opens in new tab) and Biologique Recherche's Mask Vernix (opens in new tab). Treatment with Creed Silver Mountain Water (opens in new tab).

Makeup - First of all, I apply LoveSeen's Lash Inkate (opens in new tab) in brown. I have very few lashes, so this is essential to make me look awake. Then I apply a red lip [Nars Red Square (opens in a new tab)] and slick my hair back. This is the official PSA for the M.O.P. to bring Gristen back to life. Eyeliner is liquid. Always. Nails are bare or red.

Hair Situation: black elastic band (opens in new tab).

Iced latte.

Favorites: Dior Airflash (opens in new tab) and foundation sponge.

Favorite is a strong word. What I'm doing now is Melissa Wood Health (opens in new tab) [low-impact, mostly body weight workout]. The one I miss the most is OrangeTheory (opens in new tab).

I always shower at night. I don't like to shower in the morning and want to go to bed clean. I sleep on a pillow so my hair dries better. My favorite shampoos and conditioners are Ouai (opens in new tab) and Le Labo (opens in new tab). I find these work best.

Lip balm, eye cream, water. [The last thing I do before bed is check my schedule for the next morning. Then I pray to the Instagram gods.
