GUEST BIO:
Born and raised in New York City, Cyndi Ramirez-Fulton is the founder & CEO of self-care brand, Chillhouse, and is an entrepreneur with a creative vision who has made a name for herself in the lifestyle, fashion, and hospitality industries through multiple projects, such as former award-winning website, Taste The Style, and NYC bars, The Garret.
