Who says lingerie can't be beautiful and comfortable? LIVELY and its founder Michelle Cordeiro Grant believe in the mission of creating sexy, wearable, and (above all else) functional bras, bralettes, and swimwear for everybody.
What is one thing that helps keep you motivated throughout the day?
When possible, I love starting my day with a run. Otherwise moments of creativity and laughter with the LIVELY team.
What's the last thing in your bag on your way out of your home on a workday?
Definitely my phone!
What's the best thing on your desk?
Not on my desk but on my office wall–the LIVELY mood board. It's how I started envisioning the brand from the very beginning and it’s a reminder of who we are!
What’s something you bought for your yourself that you wish you had much sooner?
Dry Bar's monthly subscription–I find myself heading to Dry Bar often after getting the monthly subscription. It's easy and convenient to book an appointment in the morning before a packed schedule (plus I can either take that time to reflect or knock out emails).
What is one item that helps you de-stress after work the most?
Time with my family!
What’s the one thing you just can’t live without?
My team. One of my first bosses gave me that advice that I’ll never forget. I truly believe it’s not what we can accomplish as individuals, but what we can do together. It’s the entire team behind each company, striving off each other’s strengths, talents, and passions that make a company successful.
