WINE LOVER...Life is too short to drink cheap wine.
BEACH LOVER...I have a pretty big seashell collection. They are all over my house. Although I love the Pacific because it's in my own backyard, my favorite beaches are the tropical ones I have visited in the Virgin Islands, Bahamas and Jamaica. Clear, warm, wonderful water!
SUSHI LOVER...It's a serious problem...for my wallet! (I'm a vegetarian but I do love my seafood!)
MUSIC LOVER...I am loving all the great bands I have discovered here on My Space. Music means the WORLD to me....can't live without my tunes...love to dance, dance, dance to the soundtrack of my life.
YOGA LOVER...it saved my life. I've lost 30 lbs and feel GREAT!
ART LOVER...Art is like air and I cannot breathe without it. Art, antiques, vintage collectables. I have always been passionate about A R T. My favorite subject at UCLA was art history. I was on the LA County Museum of Art Costume Council and Musem Service Council for many years.
