As Kristina Zias passionately emphasizes, “just wear the bikini!” This inspiring style influencer and Drew Barrymore Show fashion expert harnesses her platform to champion self-confidence, which she describes as a transformative journey. During her exclusive interview with Hollywood Life, she promoted her exciting limited-edition Glade Americana collection, sharing insights on embracing one’s unique style and body image.
“I genuinely believe that confidence is a personal journey,” Kristina revealed to Hollywood Life. “There have certainly been phases in my life [that] when I struggled with insecurity. Yet, despite my challenges, I’ve always considered myself a confident individual, though I acknowledge that this level of assurance doesn’t come easily to everyone.” Her candid reflections shed light on the complexities of self-image and personal growth.
As many individuals understand, cultivating confidence in one’s style can prove challenging amidst prevailing societal standards regarding body image. The devoted mother of two emphasized that it’s crucial to “be open about the insecurities that affect you.” Kristina’s perspective highlights the importance of vulnerability in building resilience and self-acceptance, especially in a world filled with unrealistic beauty expectations.
“For me, a significant part of this journey comes from my experiences growing up in a larger body; I typically wear sizes 14 to 16,” Kristina pointed out. “It’s essential to keep sharing this message [of self-confidence], even though it can be quite challenging. My goal is to let people know that regardless of how confident you may appear, we all have our vulnerabilities and weaker moments. … Ultimately, your insecurities do not define your worth or identity.”
As the warm season approaches, signaling the perfect time for swimsuits and shorts, Kristina is excitedly preparing to host several summertime gatherings at her home. With the introduction of her delightful collection in collaboration with Glade, she notes that it offers the ideal atmosphere for beach-themed celebrations, creating a vibrant and welcoming environment for family and friends.
“One of the standout features I adore about this collection is its affordability,” the fashion icon mentioned. “I believe that affordability is paramount because many people often feel overwhelmed by the costs associated with hosting and throwing parties.” Her focus on budget-friendly options demonstrates her commitment to making enjoyable gatherings accessible for everyone.
With her enticing Glade collection scents, including Berries & Cream, Summer Pops, and Beach Life, available in Two Pack Candles, PlugIns® Scented Oil refills, and Automatic Sprays, Kristina expressed her enthusiasm for infusing her home with a beachy ambiance. “I am someone who relishes the beach until sunset,” she added, highlighting her love for coastal vibes and relaxing atmospheres.
When she isn’t balancing her vibrant lifestyle, which includes the challenges of raising two children, Kristina can be found in Manhattan, contributing her insights on The Drew Barrymore Show. She expressed that the most rewarding aspect of her role is the opportunity to work with the talk show host herself, who has become a significant source of support and inspiration.
“Drew [Barrymore] is absolutely the best. The entire team is fantastic,” Kristina enthused. “She embodies exactly what you see on screen. She is genuinely wonderful and has been such a tremendous advocate for me. Each time I visit the show, I genuinely feel like a million bucks.” Her heartfelt admiration captures the essence of supportive relationships in the entertainment industry.
