Easy Breezy Beautiful.....(but its not Cover Girl)

Here are Five Questions by Under the Sheets and because it's Monday and I don't have my thoughts together, I took her challenge to answer. The Five Questions Are:

1) What gets you out of bed in the morning? These days it's sunlight. I'm one of those it has to be really dark in my room to go to sleep people. But, if it's early my iPod alarm clock or the alarm on my cell (when I'm traveling).

2) What scares you and how often do you think about it? Failure and I think about it everyday...even more so now that I'm looking for a new job.

3) How important is making a home to you? For example do you like a home to meditate in, cook good food or have people over? Very important..I love to cook and garden, I like comfort over style and function over just "pretty". I want people visiting to feel immediately welcome and warm.

4) Where in the world would you like to travel to next? Idealistically I would like to go to Provence and Tuscany but a lack of funds definitely prevents that so my next "planned" trip (besides to the grocery) is to Memphis and along the Natchez Trace. Or a day trip to the beach.

5) (Just for fun...) *What's your favorite Anti Aging Skin Product? Dove soap. I don't really use anti-aging except for a moisterizer by Lancome.

Good fika place? If you know Julie, you will know that fika is like a coffee break of sorts (or tea if you're british maybe?). Anyway - I will say my afternoon pick me up if I'm going out is Starbucks. Sad, but true.
