Tanis Parenteau (Métis/Cree) currently located in New York City is an actress, model and Youth Juice independent business owner. She tells UNGS the ten things she can’t live without.
1. Anything Colcci
It’s a Brazilian clothing line my friend Dianna Morley Coppock introduced me to and since then I have never been able to try something on that was Colcci and not buy it! The jeans fit me like no other.

2. Pro-Derm Skincare
It is Paraben-free and physician-designed; it’s given me the best anti-aging results my 33 year old face has ever had.

3. Macbook 13″
I can create and edit my demo reels, photos, voiceover work and auditions, resumes, plus I would be lost without email, Facebook, Twitter, and the rest of the web at my fingertips.

4. Ghostland Observatory
Instantly my favourite band since the very first time I heard ‘Sad, Sad City’ in 2008. I’ve seen them four times in the last two years. Aaron Behrens (vocals) is Native as well, always wears his braids and is a dance machine.

5. Christopher Street Pier/Hudson River walkway
I’ve been spoiled having lived in Vancouver for 6.5 yrs and now that I live in NYC, this green grass pier is the place I now go to run & train outside and also be able to spend time by the water.

6. My moccasins
I really need a new pair – - these ones are so old and ratty, there’s barely any fur left – - but I can’t stop wearing them.

7. Lenni, my kitty
She’s my baby, even at almost 4yrs old. When I got her, my roommate’s cat’s name was Carl and I wanted to choose a name that went with Carl, so I thought of Carl and Lenny from ‘The Simpsons’ – only I spell it ‘Lenni’ because she’s a girl:).

9. Youth Juice
I practice pro-active health care & this is the most potent form of nutritional science I have ever seen — a functional food I drink everyday to protect my body from illness, free-radicals & oxidation. I’m the healthiest I’ve ever been.

No oil, no dye, no talc, no filler, no binder, no perfume, no alcohol. The only mineral makeup I’ve seen that doesn’t dissolve in water. It’s getting ‘celeb-trendy’ now so it’ll be seen soon everywhere.N.B. Tanis’ website
