1. I love a great massage, sauna and jacuzzi – Beverly Hot Springs when I’m in LA, Safety Harbor Health Spa when I’m in Tampa and I just ins
talled a sauna in my house when I can’t get to either – in fact I love the home sauna so much I am selling it on HSN!
2. The movies and a large tub of popcorn
3. A stroll through the mall, I shop so much online I miss the
good ole days of wi
ndow shopping and trying on clothes and shoes!
4. What would we be surprised to find in your purse?
3-5 SpinGyms (no surprise), 2 pairs of readers (constantly misplacing them), my cell phone charger, Altoids for breathe and a 1/2 eaten protein bar!
5. What is your favorite reality TV show?
Dancing with the Stars (have loved it since the beginning and funny story – the night before Jennifer Gray won, I sat with her in the jacuzzi at the gym) and I’m old friends with Carrie Ann, love America’s Got Talent – exciting to see stars break through. Beyond that, my life is a reality show, so not much time to watch others!!
6. What is your cocktail of choice?
Unsweetened ice tea (not Long Island!) I don’t drink much alcohol but I have invested in a company called Cold Hammer Stills. Our products include a cocktail that tastes just like Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups.
7. What is the funniest thing your kids have said or done lately?
We bought my daughter a new style of underwear called “Wedgie Free” (the kind that claims not to ride up). That night she stands at the top of the stairs crying, saying “We have to return the panties, because they don’t work!”. I asked what she was talking about – she said her brother had given her a wedgie and they didn’t stop him!
8. What is your favorite quotation?
Leap and the net will appear
Only live once, but if you do it right, once is enough!
9. What music are you currently working out to?
Anything Jlo, Bruno Mars, PitBull. Love the Black Eyed Peas, anything vintage Billy Idol and the Rocky Theme — need to stay inspired and motivated — I like it loud and rockin’ Also for intense mood the new Mission Impossible Song, Friction.
10. Who is your favorite celebrity mom and why?
I really admire Reese Witherspoon – went through a very public divorce and raising 2 children she always seems to be so bright and sunny and her career continues to sky rocket – just love her positive energy and the most recent photo of her getting her star on the walk of fame – she had her children right there!
11. What is something most people don’t know about you?
That I love acting on stage – I performed all 15 characters for
2 1/2 hours nightly for 6 months in Lily Tomlin’s one woman stage play “Search for Signs of Intelligent Live in the Universe” and that I got my private pilot’s license at 16 (my dad loved to fly)
12. What is your secret to staying Hot & Healthy?
Good food, good friends and family – great fun! Enjoying each day and taking a moment to be grateful for what I have rather complaining about what I don’t have.
A little exercise everyday from walking to pilates, playing ball with the kids to rollerskating and ALWAYS having a SpinGym with me for those down moments or frustrating times at my desk — I blow off steam and get fit doing it!
