I'm not the greatest at relaxing, which is why I created this space and this brand,

is because I want to drown myself in it so much that I have to do it.

Cindy Ramirez Fulton may be going 100 miles an hour, but she wants you to relax.

She's the entrepreneur behind Chill House, a spot in New York City's Lower East Side where you can decompress with a latte, a manicure, or quick massage. But for Cindy, the cafe and spa is just one piece of a much larger vision, a global brand from modern self-care.

Cindy, it is fun to see you off of Instagram.

Yes, I love that intro.

Can I get that email so I can use it in the future?

Yeah, for your web page, you're welcome.

It's perfect.

Global.

Yeah, well, you're clear about what you want.

Yeah, I definitely want to be global for sure. One day. Cindy, your Instagram bio reads, Someone once said, I'm like the Rihanna of hospitality. Is that still up? Yes. Really? What does that mean? someone once said that I think I may have had a couple of glasses of wine

and thought that was funny and I posted it

it just means Really? What does that mean? Someone said that I think I may have had a couple glasses of wine and thought that was funny, and I posted it.

It just means that I've kind of become known for being in the hospitality space in a couple of different ways.

I've been in it for so long.

I was a waitress when I was 18, a bartender by the time I was 20, and then I was a partner

in a bar by the time I was like 25, 26. And then now I have Chill House. Right. And from my

understanding, that nightlife journey was a surprise, right? Like you were headed to college, you were

going to do fashion marketing, and the nightlife bug just bit.

Oh, yeah.

It bit so hard.
