Scroll down to read the full interview with Jasmine Caccamo, celebrity fashion stylist.
1. How has the coronavirus affected your life? How has it affected the lives of your family and friends?
A lot of my work is done from home, but now my husband has set up a home office, and I've been homeschooling my son. I'm not going to lie, it isn't easy having them home ALL OF THE TIME, but normally we wouldn't be able to ever spend this time together between work and extracurricular activities that everyone has going on. My family has been fortunate enough to be healthy and safe during this time - however, my cousin is on the front lines battling COVID -19 at NYU Withrop, so we send out positive vibes daily that she stays safe, while thanking her for her heroism.
2. How are you staying calm and sane during your quarantine?
We are lucky to have a house on Long Island, near the ocean with a backyard, so being able to get outside for walks and fresh air has really been helpful in creating a soothing and calming mind set, along with working out and infusing meditation when I can. It hasn't been easy, but setting up a schedule for each of us has been super helpful in keeping some sort of sanity to our days.
3. How has COVID-19 affected your job?
As a celebrity stylist who relies on events to keep my business running, it's been hard. Everything from press tours to the MET Gala have been cancelled for the foreseeable future, so there is no work to be had. However, I'm constantly brainstorming creative ways to keep my fashion juices flowing; whether it be virtually detoxing my clients closets, to developing relationships for future partnerships and projects with new brands.
4. How do you enjoy spending your time while in quarantine?
I've always slacked in the "Self - Care" department, so I've been really conscientious about creating a routine, especially doing masks once a week. I'm completely obsessed with Devgan Scientific Beauty's Kinetic Mask. I've been seeing Dr. Devgan for about a year now, just to keep my skin in check - and really have become a committed fan to her products over the last month and half of being in quarantine.
5. How are you staying positive and hopeful for the future?
There were many special events we had to postpone because of the pandemic; my son's 7th birthday party, our family trip to Kenya, milestone birthdays and events..but those are all things we know will be, and have rescheduled and give us something to look forward to and be excited about in the future. I always say, "this too shall pass."
