About Dylan Lauren: Dylan Lauren is the daughter of clothing designer Ralph Lauren, and the owner of New York City's Dylan's Candy Bar, which claims to be the "largest candy store in the world".
My husband is the cook at our house. I can make dessert and salad, but I stay away from meals. He makes amazing omelets, fish, and grilled vegetables like Brussels sprouts and cauliflower.
While I'm in L.A. I always make time for my favorite activity which is hiking. The trails in California are amazing, as they are always challenging, and I never get bored from all the beautiful scenery.
When I started Dylan's Candy Bar in 2001, I wanted it to be a place that merged my love of pop culture, fashion, art and music with candy. Since then, we have been fortunate to pioneer artistic partnerships with many legends.
My parents screened 'Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory' for my 6th birthday, and I became fascinated by the idea of living in a candy land with chocolate rivers and lollipop trees.
Candy is childhood, the best and bright moments you wish could have lasted forever.
I believe dancing is the best stress reliever.
If I wasn't doing candy, I'd want to create the best rescue animal-shelter organization. Otherwise, the Jackson 5 and Michael Jackson were so much a part of my childhood, and Janet and I have become friends. So my second dream job would be backup sin...
The best thing in business is to follow your gut. If a decision is not sitting well with you, don't just make it.
There's no denying that candy is comfort food and it's affordable.
Every two months, I allow myself a splurge day where I eat thick, doughy pizza from Pizzeria Uno or an ice cream sundae from my store with birthday-cake ice cream, Marshmallow Fluff, and toppings mixed in.
For a while after college, I was thinking of becoming a fitness trainer, and I am a certified aqua trainer.
On really hot days, I try to motivate friends and family to come into the pool for an aqua jogging session which I teach. Aqua jogging is a great way to avoid the impact of regular walking or jogging on land. This is especially beneficial for those w...
I don't like sitting still at a desk and often conduct business on my Blackberry or in walking meetings.
Pinterest has been helpful to my business. Making inspiration boards is really key to developing products. When I was getting married, I literally cut out tear sheets and put my own boards together. Had I known about Pinterest, I would have been able...
Anytime you can promote young artists and designers is a cool thing.
My friends call me Clark Kent: I'm known to change in phone booths.
I love all the gift guides that the magazines put out, whether it's 'InStyle' doing Mother's Day gifts or color guides, or the 'O' magazine Christmas guide.
My favorite place in the world is my dad's house in Montauk.
Watching my dad, Ralph Lauren, design clothes when I was young, I was always inspired.
I always liked the idea of leadership and being a captain.
