MEET | ALEXANDRA BONETTI
Featured 9.25-10.1.17 | As a female entrepreneur, I have an enormous amount of love and respect for my fellow girl bosses who are kicking ass in the world of startups. Especially those women who do it with a passion and grace that both make their business wildly successful while giving the appearance that it's all somewhat effortless (which, of course, it isn't). Alexandra Bonetti is one such entrepreneur.Hailing from Venezuela, she started her career in the worlds of finance and consulting, but took a passion (fitness) and turned it into a business that filled a void. Bari Studios has quickly become one of the coolest boutique fitness brands in the biz, with a following (Bari Babes!) that considers itself a community. But wait. She was 25 when she left the world of sure things and started her life as a founder. Yep, 25. Since then not only has she taken Bari to astronomical heights, she's also started two more viable enterprises and has no less than 10 more in the pipeline. She's also, and most importantly, a wife a mom and a true family girl. Welcome to Alexandra's week.
I have a site that I update with my favorite lists to live by: Life Unlisted.
I also love my plants and if I don’t plant the seed myself, I get them from Olivia at Bodega Rose.
For the fall, I love oversized turtlenecks, off the shoulders, awesome jeans and great hoops. Here are some of my favorites
For a luxury beach trip, it’s hard to beat the Four Seasons Explorer in the Maldives.
As far as healthy eating goes, I’m a big fan or turmeric lattes right now.
My favorite food show right now is Chef's Table on Netflix. I love the episode about Alex Atala, a Brazilian chef doing some amazing things with fresh ingredients from the Amazon.
I’m heartbroken by the devastation in the Caribbean. I was born and raised in Venezuela in the Caribbean, and that ocean and all of its islands are my happy places.
