At noon, I don't need an alarm as it's my day off. Although when I have work, I set alarms every 35 minutes to wake me up. I only fully wake up after the last alarm goes off. However, when I don't have any obligations, I'll sleep in till at least noon. Once I wake up, I'll spend an extra hour relaxing in bed while browsing on my phone. Sometimes, I may also contact my friends to plan out our day.

I usually wake up at 1:00 p.m. and my morning routine is very basic. I take a shower and use moisturizer. On my days off, I don't wear much makeup but I always apply sunscreen. I have met many people with great skin who have stressed the importance of SPF. I also enjoy spritzing on some fragrance after my shower. My favorite is Mugler Angel Elixir eau de parfum. It smells very chic, cute, and girly and I love putting it on my wrist. Alternatively, I sometimes just use Mugler Angel Perfuming body lotion. The fragrance lasts a long time, so I smell amazing for the whole day. Using the lotion also doubles up on the scent.

I'm not too fond of exercising. I haven't hit the gym in around three months. Usually, I hire a personal trainer to ensure I exercise. However, my motivation for workouts varies. For instance, when I'm occupied with filming a movie, I take a break. Then, I catch the motivation wave again and don't hire my trainer for about two months.

At 1:30 p.m., I typically prefer not to cook and opt for a breakfast burrito instead. My go-to spot for this savory treat is Lazy Daisy in Los Angeles, although there are plenty of other great options in both New York and L.A. I find breakfast burritos to be very satisfying, as I like to start my day off with a hearty meal to keep me energized. Since it's also lunchtime by then, I might meet up with friends for a meal - maybe even brunch. Exploring different restaurants in New York is one of my favorite pastimes and my friends and I usually spend a while narrowing down our options before settling on something, often Tompkins Square Bagels. Whenever I'm in New York, I always make sure to grab a bagel since it's difficult to find a decent one in L.A. Lately, I've cut back on coffee and switched to Coca-Cola to accompany my meals instead. If I have the opportunity, I'll make a quick stop at a drive-thru for my Coke fix - it just hits different that way, especially if it's from McDonald's.

At 2:00 p.m. on my day off, I like to dress with ease. I opt for jeans, a T-shirt, and boots because I have a fondness for boots. I don't mind wearing them in hot weather, because it's all about style for me. I love spending time outdoors in New York, so I prefer to walk everywhere. Whenever I visit New York, I make it a point to check out some galleries as I have many artist friends here. There is always an exhibition to admire. Recently, I stumbled upon a gallery with a fascinating installation. The exhibit featured deconstructed and reconstructed barber chairs, which were captivating as they moved up and down.

Around 4:00 in the afternoon, I often feel a bit sluggish and could use a boost. Lucky for me, there are plenty of tasty snack spots around here. I tend to turn to sugar for my pick-me-up, with bubble tea or a red bean pastry from a Chinatown bakery being my go-to choices. Admittedly, this may not be the healthiest option out there, but it gets the job done and it's quick. Besides, there are tempting treats everywhere you look in NYC.

I enjoy shopping in New York, especially for clothes. It's a weakness of mine, to be honest. However, I recently purchased a house and I'm now exploring the world of furniture. Moving from an apartment to a house means I need to find all kinds of furniture pieces. Luckily, New York is a great city for design ideas. In the past, my home decor style was similar to a college dorm room. I used to hang things on the wall with tape and have stuffed animals as decorations.

At 6:00 p.m., I plan to return to my hotel to freshen up before dinner. Normally, I wear my hair in a bun, so I won't bother changing it. I recently started growing my hair again, so it feels a little strange to have it on my body after being without it for a while. However, when I'm running around New York, I prefer to keep it up.

I really enjoy having dinner late at night because it gives me time to explore and find the best place to eat. I spend hours researching and once I have found the perfect spot, I start contacting my friends to see who is available to come along. I have a lot of friends who live in New York as compared to Los Angeles, and they often bring their friends as well. It's like one big community! Whenever I meet up with my friends, they always ask me about the products that I use or the fragrances that I wear. In fact, I even got my mom hooked on [Mugler] Angel.

I may still be wearing my casual attire, consisting of a T-shirt, jeans, and boots, even if I have plans to go out for the evening at 11:00 p.m. If I happen to attend a rave, I prefer being able to move around freely, which would be difficult to do in a restrictive dress. There is a place called Basement in Queens that I adore and visited for the first time not long ago. It was amazing and the experience felt reminiscent of the nightclubs in Berlin.

At 1:00 a.m., I consider it a success if I'm able to quickly shower and get ready for bed after a night out. Once I'm tucked into bed, I like to wind down by watching a movie or TV show. At home, I use a projector instead of a TV - it's a unique experience that I really enjoy. Since the projector can only be used when it's dark, I typically save my viewing sessions for late at night. I need some background noise to fall asleep, so even when I'm away from home, I always have something playing. I keep a list of movies and TV shows that I want to watch at all times. Recently, I've been into sci-fi and have watched Edge of Tomorrow, District 9, and even rewatched Arrival - which is one of my favorites.
