Pillow Talk with Kelly Rutherford

ACTRESS AND MOTHER 

If you had to describe your home in 3 words, what would they be? 

Cozy, dog friendly and in process.

How did you come to develop your personal sense of style? 

My mother Magazines and women of style everywhere

Since you live between New York and LA, what is your favorite thing about each city? 

They are so different and I love that.

How do you unwind after a long day? Do you have any rituals? 

I light a breeze wax candle and some sage and do angel Oracle cards and stretch/ yoga , meditation and of course Instagram .

How would you empower someone who is struggling and inspire her/him to change perspective and embrace positivity? 

The alternative is not serving anyone so you may as well be in gratitude for what you do have and what is working and what is possible. And empower yourself with choice. Take your attention from the problem and hold space for the solution you desire.

Where is your dream destination? 

With my family someplace beautiful - like Italy.

When you are away from home, what is one thing you can’t leave home without? 

Cozy clothes and my travel pillow and my two dachshunds.

We know you are currently enjoying a set of our “Positano” in 400TC percale: why do you prefer it over sateen and what do you love about our Positano sheets? 

They are so soft and cozy.

Your best advice to remain compassionate and loving while we face challenging times, big changes, and divisiveness? 

Always keep love in your heart and know we are in this together and no matter what divides us it’s not really what we think. It’s not real. We are all someone’s child some mother gave birth to each one of us and I have compassion for everyone as a way of honoring that mother.

Among the beautiful quotes you write, which is the most powerful to you? 

It’s about love it’s where we come from and where we are going. The energy of love. Everything else is a distraction.

Most unforgettable or funny Gossip Girl memory?

 It was all such an incredible experience to play a mother On screen  and to be a new mother myself.  A character that as a parent made mistakes and was not afraid to admit it. To say she was sorry. To see her figuring out her own life while parenting her kids. Beautiful.
