From the moment Wende Zomnir answers my call, it's like I can feel rays of California sun beaming through the phone.
While I'm settled in a New Jersey suburb, she's enjoying Newport Beach, California. It's where the beauty mogul runs her latest cosmetics venture out of a Zomnir-described "surf shack" that sits in front of the ocean.
Natural light filters through every window, and a mix of beauty products, succulents, and driftwood decorates seafoam-green shelves beyond the rainbow-painted entryway.
"I was just lifting in my garage gym before this interview," she told me. "You can see the beach from here."
