Mother's Day Issue
Emme, Body-Positive Pioneer, & Daughter Toby ColeQ&A: Mom Emme
What are your Mother's Day traditions?
Breakfasts in bed to bike riding and enjoying a picnic on a pier; however, given our new normal, a fun way to celebrate this year might be sunbathing on our roof after a delicious el fresco brunch. (Fingers crossed for good weather.)
Best Mother's Day gift given?
An elaborate breakfast in bed, complete with a handmade card and flowers.
What's your morning beauty and self-care routine?
Pre-COVID-19 I was training for a Spartan race in early April and three triathlons this summer. Sadly I had to adjust my workouts and have taken a much more chilled approach. Today I wake up around 6 AM, walk for a few of miles, jump online LIVE for my @supermodelemme IG/Zoom meditation/reading group, from 7:30 AM to 8:40 AM every morning (day 40 tomorrow!), shower with my toxin-free Raw. Natural Products, apply my Boom Silk body cream, comb through my eyebrows, throw on some Salty Girl Beauty toxin-free lip gloss, pull my hair back in a high ponytail, and off I go into Zoomland for a few hours.
Any beauty tips you've picked up from your daughter?
Keep it simple, highlight, and maintain killer brows!

“When Toby was young, I used to ask her to bring home the funniest and silliest jokes she could get to share at dinner that night. Laughter is key.”
I keep a journal next to my bed and carry it to my meditation practice shortly after rising. I find my best insights are in my dreams and during my meditations. When Toby was young, I used to ask her to bring home the funniest and silliest jokes she could get to share at dinner that night. Laughter is key.
I made it a point to have our food in the house be of the highest nutritional value (Non-GMO/organic), made sure I was home to have dinner together three days out of five during the week and included Toby and her friends in the work I did on TV in the city or on location. And when I was on location, to not to be away more than two nights, ever.

Q&A: Daughter Toby Cole
Favorite part of Mother’s Day?
It is another day for me to appreciate my favorite human.
Best Mother's Day gift given?
I’m not sure, maybe breakfast in bed, but my Mom is a better judge of that.
What are some style and beauty tips you’ve picked up from your mom?
Always bring a shawl with you.
What's your morning beauty and self-care routine?
I drink a big glass of water right out of bed. Then I wash my face with African Black Soap and moisturize with BoomSilk by Cindy Joseph.
Greatest lesson you’ve learned from mom…
Living well is a mindset.
“I borrow everything from my Mom's closet—she has amazing style.”
We are both very passionate.
I love board games and card games, but she can’t stand them.
Everything. I borrow everything from my Mom's closet—she has amazing style.
Cooking together.
My biggest advocate.
