Jenni Kayne 

Known for her relaxed California minimalism—in her clothing designs as well as in her home collections—LA-based founder Jenni Kayne made an unexpected move last year: she put down roots in New York’s Hudson Valley. Kayne’s renovated farmhouse in Tivoli has her lapping those 3,000 miles more frequently—and not surprisingly, her travel-wellness routine channels that same alchemy of earth mother and effortless California cool.

Now that you’re bicoastal, do you have a few favorite healthy/locavore spots to eat in LA and the Hudson Valley? 

I absolutely love Stissing House for dinner and Bread Alone for lunch in the Hudson Valley area. When it comes to LA, I never say no to Gjelina or A.O.C for a quick bite or friend-filled dinner.  

What are a few experiences that help you to feel revitalized and connected to your surroundings?

I feel my best when I’m in nature. Whether it’s hiking, going to the farmers markets, cooking for my family, horseback riding every morning, or eating locally inspired dishes…the list goes on and on! 

How do you approach staying healthy and relaxed when you travel by plane? 

I love essential oils to stay calm and healthy. And I never leave home without my Oak Essentials Moisture Rich Balm and Conditioning Lip Balm to stay moisturized. My bag always has EO sanitizing wipes, water, and plenty of healthy snacks, too. I always have pistachios or almonds with me—and electrolytes! 

Do you take any particular supplements prior to traveling or during?  

I like to take Chinese herbs for my immune system and I swear by Udea’s Mood Pill that has ginkgo, lemon balm, saffron, and ashwagandha. I also love the Altitude Oil from de Mamiel, electrolytes, and Sarah Wragge alkaline green powder.  

Do you do anything special for your skin? 

Oak Essentials Moisture Rich Balm for face and body, always! I like to take the travel size to reapply and I always spray my Balancing Mist during long flights.     

Any strategies for dealing with jet lag?  

I try to get outside when I get somewhere new and move my body immediately. It always makes me feel better and helps to get ahead of jet lag. I also use insight timer to get my body aligned.

What are a few things you always pack for your beauty/wellness routine?

All my mini Oak Essentials products! I also love bringing face masks to replenish moisture and bath salts to use before bed. We’re launching some soon, but I also love the ones from Vertly. They’re super easy to travel with and smell amazing.

Do you have a travel uniform?

When I’m travelling, I’m all about comfortable layers. I love wearing a simple t-shirt underneath our Saturday Sweatpant and Sweatshirt or our Marina Sweatpant and Sweatshirt. Our sets are super cozy, and the details make them feel elevated enough to wear them just about anywhere. I also won’t go anywhere without our Cashmere Shawl, Cashmere Beanie, and Cashmere Socks—trust me, you’ll never get on a plane without them once you feel how soft they are.

What about a playlist on repeat?

Any playlist my sister, Maggie, makes! She’s the official DJ of the family.

Heckfield Place; Sensei

What are a few of your favorite wellness destinations? 

The We Care Spa in Palm Springs is a favorite. I always leave feeling like the best version of myself. Heckfield Place in England is one the most inspiring spas I have ever been to—it’s a must-visit.

Where are you dreaming of going next?

I’ve been wanting to go to Sensei Porcupine Creek for a few days with my mom, and The Ranch in Malibu has been on the list for a long time—and now they have one in the Hudson Valley!
