#AskAwayFriday, #16!

Our favorite time of the week, where we get to learn more about each other. Thanks to Amber at The Bold Fab Mom, and Penny at RHOCC for creating this series, we get to make new friends and keep up with our current ones.  Thank you ladies, as always XO

"I" am lucky enough to share my #AAF this week, with the lovely Ms. Beth from Structure in and Unstructured Life, finding calm amongst the chaos (sounds like my life story in two words, unstructured & chaos). What can I say :)  This, is the lovely Beth~

Please remember to go over to Beth's blog and see her answers to my questions.

And here, are her fun questions for me.   

1. You have kids that are no longer little ones. What's your favorite and least favorite things about the ages your kids are now? That they have their own lives! Haha, not enough family time.

2. I see you practice RAW eating. What's one food you can't resist straying from your healthy habits for? Twizzlers! Or Fritos.  

3. Your Christmas tree - real or artificial? Artificial.  I'll have a real one again some day, when I have a smaller tree.  Love the pine aroma.  

4. Since it's Ask Away Friday, what does a typical Friday in your life look like? DIY day! It's time to stray away from the stress of what I'm posting next, staying up until 1:00-2:00am. Getting projects done, for my blog or around the house. 

5. You get to plan the perfect day - what does it include? A morning massage and facial (I need them too), an afternoon w

6. Are you a Black Friday shopper? NO!  Yuck, phewy, uh-uh, no-way-jose!  On-line for me, always.

7. What's your favorite Christmas tradition from childhood? Sitting at the top of the stairway waiting for my dad to come back home with my Grammy.  I remember the excitement.  Not that I have that now of course.  A tradition I started with my son, is at midnight we open our gifts, stay up later and sleep in. Then have breakfast for brunch! 

8. You've written about skin care on your blog. I have to confess - I'm terrible about taking care of mine! What skin care tips can you offer for a pressed-for-time and too-tired-at-night mama? :) In the morning, everyday of the year, SUNSCREEN! If nothing else, sunscreen.  In the evening, cleanse and moisturize for your type of skin.
  

9. If you had to pick one cause you are most passionate about, what would it be? Being a voice for helpless animals.  It breaks my heart to see sweet animals sad or abused or discarded.  They need a voice.  

10. I write about finding calm amidst the chaos of life. What's your best advice for centering yourself when life gets crazy? Wow, I may be the last person to ask this advice of, due to my past few weeks, haha!  I would have to say, to take a step back and focus.  We can all get a little nuts-O when thing get out of our control, don't burn your bridge with 'yourself'.
