If you were forced to wear one outfit over and over again, what would it be?

If I had to wear one outfit over and over again that would be boring. If I did have to though I would make sure it got washed regularly. I would have to choose my around the house clothes, a T-shirt and jeans with my Converse. I enjoy dressing up when I go out though so I would miss that.

How important is spirituality in your life?

I believe in being the best I can be towards myself and others and this includes animals. Kindness is not overrated .

How do you practice self-care?

Self care is important and the older I get the more I realize it. When you’re raising children your needs are still there but you put these aside in favor of them and what they need . Now that some of my kids are out of the house and the others that are left at home don’t need me to constantly watch them or even cook them meals which I do most of the time anyways because I enjoy it I can have more time for self care. I start out my day by going out walking first thing in the morning or else doing a workout dvd if it’s cold or rainy out. I also do intermittent fasting and eat my meals between 10 a.m. and 6 p.m. it has helped me to lose weight and it’s better for me as well. Eating too close to bedtime is hard on your system and it’s not easy to digest food when you’re laying down to sleep. I haven’t eaten meat in over 5 years and feel better for it. It gives me more energy and we all need more of that. I do eat healthier foods and really enjoy fruits and vegetables. Some people think if you eat healthy foods you’re weird and extreme and don’t eat anything but healthy food. I can only speak for myself but I do eat and enjoy healthy foods but don’t count me out yet because if I go out with you I’ll be happy to have some pizza as long as it’s cheese pizza and I’ll enjoy some ice cream right along with you too. Getting enough sleep is essential for your mind and body to function properly and for keeping the weight off. At bed time I do my routine skin care products and enjoy using Korean skin care products. They are good. I sent for a red light therapy skin care face mask but haven’t used it yet.

Which food, when you eat it, instantly transports you to childhood?

How is it only Friday , this week is really dragging because of the heat.
