5 Minutes with
Sarah Kretzu
(@sarahkretzu)
Each week, we're spending 5 minutes with some of our closest collaborators from the UO Community to learn a little bit more about them and what makes them tick. Here, Sarah Kretzu tells us how she likes to unwind and what she relies on when putting together a comfortable, everyday outfit.
Tell us a little bit about yourself.
I currently live in Venice Beach, CA. I am a freelancer and do social media + content creation for a bunch of brands and personalities.
What do you like to do when you’re spending time alone?
Skincare! I've always been a huge face masker (I've been known to do 5 in a row) but recently, I've mastered the art of an at-home facial! The PMD microdermabrasion device is life-changing!
Where is your favorite spot in your home? Why?
I love my bed. I have sooo many pillows and the softest white linen sheets. I call it the cloud!
Describe your ideal day at home.
Waking up slowly, getting all my family calls in, working out, doing a face mask, making a yummy dinner, and throwing in some work in there somewhere. Appreciating the little things goes a long way!
What’s your favorite way to unwind?
I've been working from home for the past 4 years, so closing down my computer and shutting off my phone for the day is the best feeling. Going for a walk outside makes me feel calm!
When you’re feeling down, what’s one thing that will always cheer you up?
Facetiming with my family!

Something new you’ve been trying to learn?
I already do so much on the day-to-day, so instead of trying to do something new, I've been trying to get better and more consistent with things I already do - like read more, drink more water, exercise consistently, and spend less time on social media.
What’s one thing that is guaranteed to make you happy?
Baking cookies! Ever since I can remember, I'd bake with my mom and sister, so it always brings back those good happy feelings.
Favorite account to follow on social media? Why?
Currently my two favorite accounts are @sofiamcoelho because her style is just so cool and effortless AND I love my friend @stepholejn! But if I'm being completely honest, my fave is @itmepepperoni. She's the cutest English bulldog I've ever seen in my life!
What are you watching right now?
To put it lightly, I've watched a lot of TV during this stay at home period. My favorite show so far was Outer Banks. It makes me want to travel again!
Put together three perfect summer outfits for us.
- I love pairing a slip dress with chunky Dr. Martens sandals or white sneakers like Reeboks, Nikes or New Balance! It instantly makes the dress a bit edgy.
2. Throw a blazer over anything! It automatically makes a look more put together.
3. Wear some color! I've been wearing a lot of color and playing around with tone on tone this summer. It brightens my day especially with everything going on in the world. Colorful biker shorts and sweatshirts in the same color palette are my go-to!
