HI, MY NAME IS… Sarah Trautman.
MY OCCUPATION IS… founder and designer of fck jewelry. Learn more at fckjewelry.com.
I’VE LIVED IN ARCADIA FOR TWO YEARS AND I LOVE IT BECAUSE… it’s only a 5-minute walk to LGO, North Italia, and the Global Ambassador Hotel!
A TYPICAL DAY IN MY LIFE INCLUDES… an early morning walk along the canal, lots of Zoom meetings from my outdoor office (aka my yard), working on new pieces for fck jewelry, making sure my teenager finishes his homework, and having friends over!
MY FAMILY IS… small, hilarious, and the best.
ONE THING I CANNOT LIVE WITHOUT IS… music. I listen to music all day long.
MY FAVORITE MOVIE I COULD NEVER GET TIRED OF WATCHING AND WHY IS… “When Harry Met Sally” – it has the most iconic shots of New York City and some of the best dialogue about how men and women relate to each other.
WHEN I WAS YOUNGER, I WANTED TO BE… a lawyer. I still think I could be a decent one, but I have no interest in going back to school.
THE SONG I WOULD SING AT KARAOKE NIGHT IS… “Milkshake” by Kelis.
THE ONE PERSON WHO MOTIVATES ME IS… my son. I want to be a great example to him of someone who works hard, tries to show everyone kindness, and is always open to learning new things.
THE LAST THING THAT MADE ME LAUGH OUT LOUD WAS… my very small, very silly cat who thinks he is a dog.
THE PERFECT DAY IS… no agenda, no to-do’s, just spending time with my friends and family and eating really good food.
MY FAVORITE LOCAL NONPROFIT IS… the M3F Festival that donates 100% of the proceeds from their annual music festival to local charities around the Valley!
MY LIFE IS… never boring and usually pretty fun.
THE BEST GIFT I’VE EVER RECEIVED WAS… the gift of aging. While I don’t always appreciate the physical impact of aging (no thanks, crow’s feet!), I am grateful to be alive every day.
MY DREAM VACATION WOULD BE… an African Safari!
THE BEST PIECE OF ADVICE I’VE EVER RECEIVED IS… no one thinks about you as much as you think they do. So just be your authentic self.
