Put simply, I’m nosy.

Arrington is a California-based chef who fell in love with cooking at age five while helping out her grandmother in the kitchen. She trained at the Culinary School at the Art Institute of California before working at a variety of restaurants around the country, bringing her uniquely, multi-cultural, California “polished casual” style everywhere she goes. She’s been on shows from Top Chef to Selena Gomez’s Selena + Chef, and is a regular judge on Chopped: Next Gen. She also uses her platform to advocate against food waste in the industry, is a fitness-lover, a wellness aficionado, and a lover of all things creative.

The 6 wellness essentials a Top Chef can’t wait to gift this season
Lululemon Go Getter Bag — $158.00
“I try to remain as hands-free as possible throughout the day because I am always on the go, so this Lululemon bag is the perfect accessory to keep all my things close to me while running errands,” says Arrington. The best part is that the fabric is water-repellant so you don’t have to worry about anything getting damaged while you’re on the move.
New Oura Ring Generation 3 — $399.00
“Tracking my sleep data has improved my life greatly over the last year! Before tracking my sleeping data I thought I was getting a good night’s rest, but actually having the data to look over in the morning has improved my recovery at times that I eat so much.” She also recommends reading Matthew D. Walker’s, Why We Sleep ($19).
Flawless by Gabrielle Union Defining Curl Cream — $11.00
“This is my fave curl defining cream. What a journey hair care can be for women of color. The busy lifestyle of the kitchen caused so much stress on my hair and I rarely found time to manage it. After being introduce to this product, I have fallen in love with the richness it brings to my curls.” Arrington is excited to gift this hair-saving find to every curly giftee on her list.
Apple AirPods Pro — $249.00
“I don’t know what I would do without my Apple AirPod Pros! I never leave home without them. They are great for meetings and conference calls on the go.” Earbuds in general are a failsafe present for anyone—a crowd-favorite people pleaser.
Williams Sonoma Microplane® Rasp Grater — $15.00
Since Arrington is first and foremost a chef, it’s no surprise that she had to include her favorite kitchen tool on the list. “Chopping ginger and garlic can sometimes be annoying tasks during prep work. A microplane makes really light work out of an otherwise tedious tasks,” she explains.
