Long before moving here, Jules Aron enjoyed childhood vacations to the Palm Beaches with her family. Eventually, her parents purchased a seasonal getaway, and she followed suit soon after. The author of four best-sellers that champion healthy living, Aron now resides in downtown West Palm Beach and enjoys summering in her rustic cabin in upstate New York, a retreat especially conducive to developing new book ideas. Passionate about animals (ask her about Lou, her rescue cat) and wellness, Aron is one of the founders of the Fresh Rx initiative, a partnership between Lox Farms and the Community Foundation for Palm Beach and Martin Counties that allows doctors to write prescriptions for fresh produce to patients at Jupiter Medical Center. Naturally, she also serves as their in-house mixologist at charity events.
Current state of mind: I’ve gone from a New York state of mind to island time, in just about no time!

Signature accessory: My custom gold zen and tonic necklace, which was designed for the launch of my cocktail book by the same name.
Favorite healthy snack: Nature’s candy: fruit! Watermelon, mango, papaya, berries, and pineapple, to name a few.
Her morning routine: Lemon water, meditation, morning pages, and lots of tea.
Product she can’t live without: Mālayā Organics rejuvenating face serum. It contains 26 active botanicals, including Siberian cedar nut, borage, and camellia oils that brighten, tighten, and soften my skin.
Next travel destination: Bali
Best happy hours: Honor Bar on the island, Imoto at Buccan, and the half-off bottles of wine at Blind Monk and Hullabaloo.

Drink order: I’m partial to a classic Negroni.
Ideal last meal: My mom’s potato latkes
Top Palm Beach restos: Breakfast at CPB at The Colony, brunch at Cucina, dinner at Buccan, and tacos at Coyo Taco—because tacos should have their own category.
Her superpower: Knowing when someone needs a drink.

Karaokes in the car to: “Holiday” by Madonna
Workout rituals: When I lived in New York, I was an avid martial artist. Since moving, I have retired my black belt. I still have a qigong routine I practice at home or on the beach. I also have an elliptical and a set of weights at home, and I try to go on long walks daily.
Beloved vista: The view overlooking the bustling stream on my land in upstate New York. My dog, Dolce, always loved to prance in those waters.
Dream car: A Vintage Folly convertible or Scout 800 in mint
Historical figure she identifies with: Harriet Anne de Salis, a prolific Victorian writer who penned a collection of “à la mode” cookbooks, including Drinks à la Mode, a favorite of mine, where the advice remains sound, the voice charming, and the cocktails strong.
Words to live by: “I think of life itself now as a wonderful play that I’ve written for myself, and so my purpose is to have the utmost fun playing my part.” —Shirley MacLaine
