#AskAwayFriday, #20

Wow, #20!  Congrats to Penny, of RHOCC and Amber, of TheBoldFabMom in their achievement with this link-up.  PLEASE, check out these ladies and give them some love! It's always fun with the Q&A, and chatting it up with some new friends. So let's get on with it.

This week I am partnering up with Sarah

She's got The Cutest Blog On the Block with the cutest girls! Check out my answers to her questions below, then go to Sarah's blog to see her answers to my questions!  Have fun!!

1.  You just look so fabulous!!! You say in your profile your 50-something and I would never be able to tell.  Please share your secrets. :) That's a question right? ;) Haha, I'll take it as a question :) First, "thank you so very much"! I try, hard! There really isn't any great secret. I think I got lucky with taking care of myself, and quitting bad habits early in life.  Plus, I feel awesome with my new eating habits. 

2.  Where do your inspirations come for a lot of your DIY projects? I see things in stores, magazines, (always saying 'I can make that), and I venture on Pinterest here and there.  I do see some on blogs, and I try to remember to write down where I did see anything I might DIY, I want to give credit where it's due. I haven't posted much, but I do have a lot in 'the process' of finishing.  

3.  I seen it says your a skin care specialist?  Do tell.  :) After pharmaceutical marketing for years, it came to a screeching halt.  Always having an interest in skincare, I decided to go back to school.  I don't do a lot out in the field much, but I do keep up on new knowledge and work on friends/family. I love it and love helping others feel good about themselves, in many ways.

4.  Any fun holiday traditions? Cookies and pumpkin pie.  Wrapping gifts to the film, Love Actually, a MUST! 

5.  Do you have a craft room or specific spot you do all your fun things? I do!  A spare room that serves as an office, skin care room, crafts, sewing, fur-baby sleeping :) I'd show you a pic, but it's a crazy mess right now. Even though I cleaned it from this mess.  I will definitely post a nice new organized photo in the near future.  

6.  I seen you eat RAW, what is your favorite meal? I make so many different ones, that I haven't repeated a favorite meal as yet.  They are all good though.  I do repeat the Muhammara Dip often.  Healthy and filling with some celery as an afternoon snack between meals. Oh, and there was a summer repeat, sorry, the Gorilla Wrap. Yum!

7.  You were married in 2005, what would you say is your secret to a great marriage. :) I am far from an expert, but I believe the secret to a great marriage is having MORALS and VALUES within yourself, and share that with the one you love.  That's when these things will flow nicely; TRUST, HONESTY, CONSTRUCTIVE COMMUNICATION, STRUCTURE within the family.  Those are the main things for me. 

8.  I seen you have a few furbabies, how many do you have and what kinds are they? My fur babies are like having 2-year olds!  No exaggeration, but I love them to pieces!  Queen Lucy Belle is my 10-1/2 year old girl.  She's a JUG, Jack Russell/Pug mix, and adorable.  Everybody loves Lucy.  Then Chewbacca, he is our kill-shelter rescue!  He is about 7-8 years old, follows Lucy in everything.  He was skeptical and aggressive when we first got him, but now I think he loves us as much as we love him. I wish I could rescue every 'mis-placed' doggie.  I love both their personalities.  Never enough photos.  Enjoy!  

 

9.  What's your dream vacation? I've been to many places, countries, states, etc.  I always dreamed of Greece, Santorini Island.  Ever been?  Anyone?

10.  Any New Years resolutions? No.  I never really do one.  I think it's an omen if you try to, because it's hard to stick to.  For many, not all peeps.  (Don't want to judge the ones who "can-do".)  I do want to be more organized, like I used to be, so maybe I'll start that tomorrow :)

Thanks so much Sarah!  

Cheers!
