見過蔡依珊的人,會愛上她甜美的笑容,與她對談的人,會被她的智慧引導,聽過她演講的人,會發覺她是一位不簡單的人物。「炆久之芯」是蔡依珊去年推出的品牌,理念以「讓簡單的食材,也可以很講究。」將慢工細活的烹飪手法,結合萃取出食材的精華,就如同她的個性,將所重視的日常人事物,以最溫暖、最真誠及最正向的態度去擁抱生活。

簡單又講究的日常
在婚後的蔡依珊,有著一位體貼的好老公及兩位可愛的兒子,家裡的生活她總是能打理的很完善,而漸漸長大的兒子們,她開始探討自己內心的渴望,從自己最喜歡的「吃」做為啟發,並創立了「炆久之芯」。回想起去年才推出的滴紅豆,竟然在短短3到4個月一掃而空,面對挑戰她有無所畏懼的心,認為遇到挑戰時,就是去面對解決。回想起過去從小小的團隊到現在將近10人,參加了「台北國際食品展」拓展到新加坡、中國、香港,像是慢火燉煮般,她的團隊扎實地推廣出最優質的養身食品。將品牌理念套用在生活上,並不是簡單的事物就是很繁多,而是對自己來說最重要的,她選擇細膩地將每天的生活過得自在,而在這資訊快速且多的世代,蔡依珊以沈澱踏實的心,迎接每一天最簡單的事。

編織進生活的習慣
自小蔡依珊對於公益宛如一種習慣,從在學生時期到現在,她覺得這是她本能想做的事情,也並不僅定義為它為「公益」,提到自己曾印象深刻的是與罕見疾病基金會所拍攝的廣告「因為有你 愛不罕見」,她認識了在廣告中彈琴的劉佩菁,即使泡泡龍症狀隱隱作痛,她還是享受著音樂帶給她的喜悅,看到這樣的生命力,蔡依珊感到驕傲的說:「她還出過一本書,裡面有她創作的『38兔』!」即使距離拍攝廣告已經過了12年,蔡依珊始終與她保持聯繫,這樣的生活使她感覺到「施比受更有福」,勵志的故事宛如填滿了她的心,鼓舞了她的腳步。

最喜愛的時尚單品
「我媽媽非常愛漂亮,她是讓我第一個知道的時尚的人。」但從小熱衷於閱讀的蔡依珊,曾經不是很在意,但長大慢慢發現自已也越來越在意打扮,她也堅信內在美與外在美是同等的重要。長大後的她,覺得時尚是一種樂趣,她喜歡翻閱時尚雜誌,看看現在流行什麼,她也很感謝身邊的朋友,雖說自己愛美但比起朋友們自己行動力稍微弱了一些,甚至有時會將朋友身上的行頭看了一遍後,看到自己喜愛的單品就會買,蔡依珊認為時尚是發揮自己的風格,是以沒有壓力的方式以服裝呈現出自己的想法與態度。而蔡依珊私底下最喜歡穿搭皮褲,覺得皮褲很百搭,既可以正式又可以休閒,飾品最喜歡Chrome Hearts的貼耳小耳環,大膽個性的設計搭配洋裝,那樣衝突的美感她覺得非常迷人。皮膚白裏透紅的蔡依珊,平常喜歡以淡妝出門,針對春夏美肌保養,她說要多喝水、早點睡、多補充維他命,在生活作息上也要適當的補眠,更重要的就是要有一顆全心全意愛自己的心。

Every Day is Simple yet Particular
After being married, Patty Tsai has a thoughtful husband and two wonderful sons, and she can always manage to life at home very well. However, with her sons growing up, she began to explore her inner desires, and was inspired by her favorite “food”, she therefore established “Wunjo”. Looking back at the red bean essence which was only launched last year, and sold out within a short 3-4 months, she holds a fearless heart towards the challenges encountered and believes that when encountering challenges, you must confront and solve them. Looking back at the small team in the past, to the present with close to 10 people, as well as the participation in “Taipei International Food Show” for expansion to Singapore, China and Hong Kong, it is just like slow cooking; her team has promoted the most quality macrobiotic food. Applying the brand principles in life, it is not a simple matter and objects are sophisticated, but the ones that mean the most to yourself, she chose delicately to live every day comfortably, and in this generation with rapid and massive amount of data, Patty Tsai welcomes the simplest matter in every day life with a calm and down-to-earth heart.
Habits Woven into Life
Public welfare is a habit to Patty Tsai since she was little, such from being a student to the present, she feels that this is instinctively what she wants to do, and not merely defines it as “public welfare”. She mentioned what impressed her deeply was the advertisement on “Love is Not Rare Because of You” filmed with Taiwan Foundation for Rare Disorders, she became acquainted with Pei-Jing Liu who played the piano in the advertisement, even though suffering from the griping pain of the rare skin disorder, she still enjoys the joy that music brings to her, and seeing such vitality, Patty Tsai feels proud to say: “She even wrote a book, containing the ’38 bunnies’ created by her!”. Although 12 years have gone by since the shooting of the advertisement, Patty Tsai still keeps in touch with her, and such lifestyle makes her feel that “It is more blessed to give than to receive”, inspiring stories filled her heart and encouraged her pace.
Favorite Fashion Piece
“My mom loves having beautiful looks, and she was the first person to get me involved in fashion.” However, being enthusiastic about reading since she was little, Patty Tsai did not care much back then, but after she grew up, she gradually realized that she cares more and more about dressing up, which she also believes that inner beauty and external beauty are equivalently important. As an adult, she discovered that fashion is a type of interest, she loves reading fashion magazines to see what is going on with the trend, she also appreciates friends around her, as even though she loves looking beautiful, she is weaker in being proactive; she would even study the outfit on friends once and purchase the piece she liked after first seeing one. Patty Tsai believes that fashion is to develop your own style, and to present one’s thoughts and attitude, fashion is dressing up through a stress-free approach. Patty Tsai personally favors wearing leather pants the most, as she feels leather pants can go with anything, formal yet casual. For accessories, she favors earrings from Chrome Hearts, as she finds the bold and characteristic design with dress offering a conflicting sense of beauty is extremely charming. With white brightening skin along with a touch of pink tone complexion, Patty Tsai prefers to go out in light make-up; for skincare tips in spring and summer, especially under UV rays, she said we needs to drink more water, go to bed early and take more vitamins, an adequate amount of sleep is also required for the daily routine, but most important is to have a heart that loves oneself fully.
