You might be wondering, “So what the heck is this Monday Poll thing anyway?”
Well, it isn’t much of a poll. It’s more just a constantly evolving (devolving?), somewhat random list of questions I’ve been putting out to readers every Monday morning for the past seven years. I’ve always enjoyed reading your answers in the comments, and I hope you enjoy reading mine.
- What are your most comfortable shoes? Jeans?
If we’re talking, “ultimate comfort,” it would have to be my running shoes (the Brooks Ravenna 4; I have them in black and purple with the neon laces), because I can spend 10 miles in them, but for everyday tooling around town, I have a pair of Toms Classic Canvas flats I like a lot. And I also like my Reef’s flip-flops.For jeans, my AG Adriano Goldschmied super skinny ankle jeans. I walked into Nordie’s one day and said, “I need a pair of jeans that feel like pajama jeans,” and these are the pants I left with.
- Have you ever been wine tasting?
I have, and I enjoy it very much! We’re conveniently close to Napa out here. You can talk to the people around you, so it’s social, and I like the variety. You get to taste a bunch of different wines, and not just have a single glass. I also like wine tours, because you can learn some fun facts about the property you’re visiting or the wines you’re tasting. - Swedish massage or deep tissue?
Swedish massage when I want TLC; deep tissue when I need tough love.But I should clarify — with Swedish massage, I need at least medium pressure. Anything less than that feels like my skin’s just being pushed around.
- Are you a light sleeper?
Nope. I’ve slept through thunderstorms, earthquakes and El Hub’s snoring (for years). - Are you good under pressure?
I’d like to think so. I’m better at handling it when I’ve had enough sleep.
Your turn. 🙂 Just copy and paste the following questions into a comment with your answers. I look forward to reading ’em!
1. What are your most comfortable shoes? Jeans?
2. Have you ever been wine tasting?
3. Swedish massage or deep tissue?
4. Are you a light sleeper?
5. Are you good under pressure?
Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,
Karen
P.S. It’s always good to feel a sense of accomplishment. Try to start your day with a really short to-do list of just two things (even if have you have many more things to do), and try to cross them off as soon as you can. Getting a couple things under your belt will help propel you through your day.
Have a great week, babe. 🙂
1. What are your most comfortable shoes? Jeans?: My Nikes and a pair of Levis I’ve owned since 2001.
2. Have you ever been wine tasting?: Not exactly, but my cousin’s wedding was held at the Faulkner Winery in Temecula and we got to taste some amazing wines.
3. Swedish massage or deep tissue?: Either one. I could really use a massage!
4. Are you a light sleeper?: No, I tend to sleep pretty deeply.
5. Are you good under pressure?: Yes. I live for it. 🙂
As much a I want to say being at home on a weekday is fun, it’s NOT fun at all when it’s to fight a bad coughing fit.
1. What are your most comfortable shoes? Jeans?
I got a pair of Asics for the gym. For a normal day it’s Boutique 9 black boots.
2. Have you ever been wine tasting?
Yes. Being relatively close to Napa has its benefits. My sister is also a complete wino and will sometimes make me go on her adventures in wine tasting.
3. Swedish massage or deep tissue?
Deep tissue. My shoulders got knots wrapped around knots.
4. Are you a light sleeper?
Nope. I can sleep through pretty much anything.
5. Are you good under pressure?
I’d like to think I am. Or at least keep up a good appearance while I internally panic and look for answers.
1. What are your most comfortable shoes? Jeans?
Shoes: Honestly, my Hello Kitty slippers. Jeans: I have these denim leggins that are seriously comfy!
2. Have you ever been wine tasting?
No. Me + wine = serious headache
3. Swedish massage or deep tissue?
Really any kind of massage with pressure. I don’t get massages so I’ll take what I can get.
4. Are you a light sleeper?
Once I’m asleep I’m totally gone. However getting there is a challenge.
5. Are you good under pressure?
Depends. If I’m at work I’m good but I have test anxiety so school is interesting.
Hi Tania,
Funny you should mention Hello Kitty slippers! I’m kind of going through a Hello Kitty phase and can totally see myself rocking a pair.
So, kind of related…but I bought the best Hello Kitty headband last week from Ulta. It’s by Earth Therapeutics and it’s designed to keep the hair off your face when you’re washing it.
1. What are your most comfortable shoes? Jeans? Shoes– my Seychelles navy loafers from 2 years ago. Jeans– a pair of ASOS dark blue skinny jeans from before they revamp their entire denim line. they used to have sizes in interval of one, now they’re in interval of two (e.g. from 28 to 30). Boo! 🙁
2. Have you ever been wine tasting? Not yet.
3. Swedish massage or deep tissue? Uhh.. neither? I’m the weird person who hates getting massage.
4. Are you a light sleeper? No.
5. Are you good under pressure? I’d like to think that I perform well under pressure, but not good at handling the pressure itself.
Hi Let!
Hello from sunny Nor Cal. I just got back from a 10-minute walk break. It’s a lovely day here so far. Blue skies and no clouds!
How was your weekend? Did you do anything fun?
Hi Karen,
It’s sunny and warm too in Seattle, which is nice after the cloudy and rainy weekend.
I got dinner with a friend on Sunday night (Restaurant Week ftw). Otherwise, I stayed in all weekend. How was yours?
Oh, nice! I’ve been lucky enough to visit your city on sunny days and I have to say…when it’s sunny, Seattle is so, so gorgeous. How long have you lived there?
I stayed close to home all weekend. I had a lot of writing to do, so I spent most of it in my office. I did manage to catch Captain America on Friday night (El Hub’s idea…it wasn’t bad). And I started watching this BBC show called Orphan Black. Have you heard of it?
I’ve lived in Seattle for 4 years (came for college). Seattle is indeed gorgeous. I definitely wouldn’t mind staying here longer.
I haven’t heard of Orphan Black. Then again, I don’t watch much TV, even before I unsubscribed from Comcast sometime last year. I quickly googled Orphan Black and I must say the story seems interesting (and only 10+10 episodes? Sign me up! 🙂 )
Have a nice (rest of) Monday, Karen! 🙂
1. What are your most comfortable shoes? Jeans?
I have a couple of pairs of flats from the brand Me Too that are quite comfortable. I’m still searching for an uber-comfortable pair of jeans. I’ll have to try the brand you reccomended!
2. Have you ever been wine tasting?
No. I prefer mixed drinks to wine, but I’ll drink it every now and then.
3. Swedish massage or deep tissue?
A little bit of both. I like to start off with a deep tissue and then graduate to something less intense so I can end up feeling relaxed.
4. Are you a light sleeper?
No, especially when I fall asleep on the couch. Although Mingy has a talent for waking me up for his 6 AM weekend feedings. Luckily, I’m able to go back to sleep quickly.
5. Are you good under pressure?
Sort of. I usually freak out on the inside and then try to calm down and come up with a plan of action.
Tabs looks so handsome in his jersey. And that fluffy belly – so cute!
1. What are your most comfortable shoes? Jeans?
Shoes… hmm either my Vera Wang Lavender Lable flats or my Nike Free running shoes! Jeans are kind of the devil. I don’t find them comfortable personally!
2. Have you ever been wine tasting?
YES! I host them too!
3. Swedish massage or deep tissue?
Any and all massage is welcome here!
4. Are you a light sleeper?
Unfortunately yes I am!
5. Are you good under pressure?
Pressure! Pushing down on me… pushing down on me! Yes, I fall apart way after the event. I always make it through the instance with flying colors and quick decisive action. Even severed arteries and CPR situations.
1. What are your most comfortable shoes? Jeans?
a pair of kitten heel, loafer-type shoes by I can’t remember! Jeans, I’m embarrassed to say Lee petite jeans but they fit me coz I’m so short
2. Have you ever been wine tasting? yes many times, and I used to date a former editor of Bon Appetit so wine tastings were a cheap way for him to have a date
3. Swedish massage or deep tissue? Swedish for sure
4. Are you a light sleeper? unbelievably light. I wake at a pin drop
5. Are you good under pressure? yes. I’m in marketing and advertising 😉
I just wanted to comment on the photo of Tabs reclining with some kind of shirt on, where you mentioned his “delicious belly meat!” Are you referring to the furry “pouch” that wobbles to and fro when a kitty trots across the room to greet you? We have always called those little furry hanging things “pouches!” I’ve also always wondered what purpose those little “pouches” served . . . an evolutionary purpose? Like a camel’s hump? Just curious! (I’m working on our taxes and obviously needed an intellectual break!!)
Hi Shelley,
Yes! When Tabs runs it sways back and forth from side to side. It’s hilarious and adorable at the same time. I think that it has to do with getting spayed or neutered, because in the past I’ve heard people call it “spay sway.” 🙂
How many kitties do you have, btw?
Oh, and good luck with taxes!
1. What are your most comfortable shoes? Jeans?
Shoes… probably my Asics, but they’re sadly dying! Most comfortable pair of jeans is an ancient pair of Sevens that have um… seen better days 🙂
2. Have you ever been wine tasting?
Yes! And I love it! I’ll have to bug the hub to go out on a wine tasting date soon..
3. Swedish massage or deep tissue?
Deep tissue, please!
4. Are you a light sleeper?
Not usually. Once I’m asleep, I sleep through.. most things!
5. Are you good under pressure?
I’m okay under pressure. If there’s a LOT of pressure, I don’t handle it well. I tend to perform better when I can chillax a little.
1. What are your most comfortable shoes? Jeans?
My KEENS or the ones I’m wearing right now–silver leather Sperry’s. Preppy and hawt all at the same time. The KEENS, not so hot but I go to Maine a lot.
2. Have you ever been wine tasting? Many many times. Me and my husband plan our vacations around hiking and wine tasting (or beer tasting). We’re going to Germany in the fall to hike in the alps…and taste wine and beer. My husband makes his own beer so he’s into this kind of thing. Just last week I had a meeting in Rhode Island for work and went to a beautiful winery by the ocean afterwards!
3. Swedish massage or deep tissue? Just regular hot stones if they have ’em. I’m not a massage person because my spine is bent in too places (yoga helps more than massage). <3
4. Are you a light sleeper? Not if I get a good workout in. Otherwise, yes.
5. Are you good under pressure? Sometimes. I worked full time during my master's and will do the same for my PhD. At work though I suck under pressure. I turn all whiny and defensive. 🙁
Oh whoops, most comfortable jeans are hands down Levis. They are low but higher in the back and work with curves. So no pulling up all the time since the higher rise is in the back and allows you to bend over. Ha!
1. What are your most comfortable shoes? Jeans?
I hate to say it, because they are kind of fugly, but my sketchers walks are so comfy. I do not have any comfortable jeans.
2. Have you ever been wine tasting?
If by wine tasting, you mean drinking all the wine as I tour Europe, then yes. If you mean a formal event specifically for the tasting of wine, then no.
3. Swedish massage or deep tissue?
Yes.
4. Are you a light sleeper?
Yes. This makes condo living superfun.
5. Are you good under pressure?
I do some of my best work under pressure. Apparently I need that little adrenaline surge.
1. What are your most comfortable shoes? Jeans?
Shoes, I have a few. My Reebok RealFlex Transition Training sneakers are super comfy (AND HOT PINK!). Don’t judge, but my Croc Malindi flats were the only shoes I could wear working as a waitress in college, and I still have them years later. Finally, I also love my Reef flip flops! I have the Gingers and a pair with a wider strap and am obsessed!!
Jeans are for sure my True Religion stretchy skinny jeans. They’re so old I don’t know what their name is, but I will wear these into the ground. SO stretchy and comfy. Essentially like leggings.
2. Have you ever been wine tasting?
Yes, once at this fabulous vineyard that makes raspberry sparkling wine. It was delicious, as were their other wines. It was totally reasonably priced, and I’d definitely go back.
3. Swedish massage or deep tissue?
Always deep tissue! I am a terrible huncher and get awful knots in my back, especially my shoulders.
4. Are you a light sleeper?
Yes! Light and sound always wake me up.
5. Are you good under pressure?
I think so. I never let stuff NOT get done, regardless of pressure.
1. What are your most comfortable shoes? My walking shoes by Vivionic — plantar fascitis support built right in!
Jeans?
I don’t wear a lot of jeans right now — too hot. I am really enjoying capri pants which are loose and light enough to keep me cool and long enough to prevent sunburns.
2. Have you ever been wine tasting?
When I lived in upstate NY, I went on a wine tour — it was a lot of fun! That was before I met Hubby who hates wine. So no more wine tour vacations… oh well.
3. Swedish massage or deep tissue?
Yes. I like them both.
4. Are you a light sleeper?
Depends on what time of night. I go through definite cycles… but if I have my earplugs, then I’m good to go all night.
5. Are you good under pressure?
Only if I’m prepared.
1. What are your most comfortable shoes? Jeans?
The DSW house brand has these astonishingly comfortable flats that come in black and navy. I’ve probably gone through five pairs in the last two years. The most comfortable jeans I own are Old Navy Rockstar jeans, but they’re so cheaply made and prone to ripping that I’m ready to upgrade to something nicer.
2. Have you ever been wine tasting?
Once, a year and a half ago. I’m originally from San Francisco, and my boyfriend and I were visiting my parents and decided to drive to Napa. It was fun, but we hit three wineries in one day and my tolerance was NOT high enough for that. I was barely conscious by the end…
3. Swedish massage or deep tissue?
Neither! Massages make me uncomfortable.
4. Are you a light sleeper?
No. I can fall asleep and stay asleep pretty much anywhere.
5. Are you good under pressure?
Time pressure, yes. Pressure from other people, no.
Happy Monday! That’s some good advice about the to-do list. I’m glad that “fill out the Monday poll really well” wasn’t on my list because this one is going to be a total fail for me. 🙁
1. What are your most comfortable shoes? Jeans? It’s hard to pick my most comfy shoes from my vast array of Nikes but I think it’s probably my white/grey/yellow Vomero 6. Jeans are worse since I’ve become the queen of sweatpants. If pressed, they’d have to be my 7 for All Mankind with the pink crystals on the back pockets.
2. Have you ever been wine tasting? I have done it a couple of times locally and once in Chile. I enjoy it when I’m not the DD!
3. Swedish massage or deep tissue? I’ve never had a professional massage and I feel strangely depressed about typing that. I think I’d like deep tissue better, though.
4. Are you a light sleeper? Definitely not.
5. Are you good under pressure? Yes, I think I’m probably better under pressure. A sense of urgency helps my focus and creativity. 🙂
If you’re the queen of sweatpants, can I be the princess? 😀
1. What are your most comfortable shoes? Jeans?
I don’t think any shoes are perfectly comfortable! I’ll just say my double tongue converse, they could be squishier, but I prefer my feet not roasting! And jeans, Earnest Sewn ‘Harlan’- the absolute best jeans ever. They don’t fall off my butt when I bend over! and super long inseams for tall peeps(they also have an ankle length)and the pocket placement is very flattering on me.
2. Have you ever been wine tasting?
no, I haven’t
3. Swedish massage or deep tissue?
If you’re barely going to touch me I’m gonna think it’s tickly! put some force behind it.
4. Are you a light sleeper?
YES. You upstairs, stop dropping things on the floor and scaring the crap out of me while I’m sleeping! The wind woke me up the other day! Tiny Ontario, Canada earthquakes wake me up.
5. Are you good under pressure?
OMG EVERYBODY PANIC! ok I’m probably fine under pressure, depending on what the pressure is. lol
1. What are your most comfortable shoes? Jeans?
I ordered some combat boots from Charlotte Russe last year and can’t stop wearing them. They’re so trendy and comfortable! My most comfortable pair of jeans are probably a pair of Juicy Couture’s. Although these days I’m much more comfortable in a comfy tee and leggings.
2. Have you ever been wine tasting?
Yes! My best friend decided to have one for her birthday one year and it was so much fun! Who knew wine and cheese could be so yummy and entertaining?
3. Swedish massage or deep tissue?
I’ve never had either so I’m not sure. Both sound like a dream though!
4. Are you a light sleeper?
So far from it! I’m like you Karen lol. I can sleep through just about anything. It’s like I slip into a coma when I’m tired lol
5. Are you good under pressure?
I’d like to think so. I’m a procrastinator so a bit of pressure really gives me that kick I need sometimes
1. What are your most comfortable shoes? Jeans?
Lately, my Bernie Mev Lulia Wedge in black are my favorite spring, closed toe platform wedge heel. My blue AG super skinny legging jeans are comfy and look great with spring colors.
2. Have you ever been wine tasting?
Yes. Best way to find wines I like at local wineries.
3. Swedish massage or deep tissue?
Neither. Deep tissue is basically a firm pressure Swedish massage. I like to be more specific in what I want and who I have work on my body. Typically, I prefer a firm pressure corrective, myofascial massage with a structural integration emphasis.
4. Are you a light sleeper?
Unfortunately, I have been lately. I hate it. Missing the days when I could sleep through noise, movement, light, loud commericals, etc…
1. What are your most comfortable shoes? Jeans? – Most comfy shoes are my running shoes, but to do errands I wear these bright yellow Onitsuka Tigers…they look like the ones Uma Thurman wore in Kill Bill so I feel like a badass wearing them. A comfy badass! No jeans are comfortable for me, but I also love AG – they just fit me really well. I much prefer yoga pants or, for ultimate comfort, pajamas.
2. Have you ever been wine tasting? – Nah. Both the husband and I get horrible headaches from wine.
3. Swedish massage or deep tissue? None. I don’t like strangers touching me, LOL. I just use my trusty foam roller as a type of massage.
4. Are you a light sleeper? Never was until a few years ago. I have no idea how I went from sleeping through fire alarms to waking up at every little noise.
5. Are you good under pressure? Admittedly, no. I tend to cave and panic pretty easily under pressure.
Give T-money’s belly a big scratch and squeeze for me, Karen!
1. What are your most comfortable shoes? Jeans?
– My most comfortable shoes would have to be my minnetonka moccasins that I got from payless. Sometimes I forget that I have them on they’re so comfortable!
2. Have you ever been wine tasting?
– Yes we have been to a couple wine tastings and we actually attend a beer, wine and artfest every year where we get free samples of wine. I tried my first ever glass of ice wine on a winery tour/tasting (yum)!
3. Swedish massage or deep tissue?
– Honestly… I’ve never had either.
4. Are you a light sleeper?
– Absolutely not! I probably would sleep through world war III!
5. Are you good under pressure?
– I like to think I work better under pressure, but I sure hate when I have to!
I forgot most comfortable jeans! I just bought a pair of express jeans that are so incredibly comfortable! I may be hooked…
1. What are your most comfortable shoes? Jeans?
My most comfortable shoes are my Ugg boots. They’re so warm! For jeans, I’d have to say my H&M skinny jeans.
2. Have you ever been wine tasting?
Nope! Still underage :p
3. Swedish massage or deep tissue?
I don’t really know the difference.
4. Are you a light sleeper?
Nope!
5. Are you good under pressure?
Definitely not.
1. What are your most comfortable shoes? Jeans? My classic Chucks for sure (once they’re broken in, of course) and Old Navy Boyfriend jeans. I don’t know why but they just fit me right, and you can’t beat the price!
2. Have you ever been wine tasting? Yes, but didn’t really taste anything since it’s an instant migraine for me! I was just taking visiting friends who wanted to go. 🙂
3. Swedish massage or deep tissue? I have no idea what my masseuse technically does, but it’s awesome.
4. Are you a light sleeper? Ridiculously so. I wish I slept harder!
5. Are you good under pressure? For the most part. At least when other people are around. If a meltdown comes, it’s when I’m by myself. 😉
1. What are your most comfortable shoes? Jeans?
~Most comfy shoes are any pair of running shoes I have (since I only buy ones that make my feet feel good) – I love my Aasics in pink and yellow (forget exactly which ones but they are usually around $90 to $100), and my Nike Free’s I got on sale in DC.
Most comfy jeans would have to be my Express skinny jeans. They have enough stretch in them to feel comfy after a long day, and they tuck easily into cute boots.
2. Have you ever been wine tasting?
~I haven’t but I’ve always wanted to go to Napa. Around here we have the Linganore Wine Festival in Frederick and the Sugarloaf Mountain Winery – I will have to pay both of those a visit…
3. Swedish massage or deep tissue?
~Swedish, I save deep tissue for when I really have a lot of knots.
4. Are you a light sleeper?
~Nope, I am legendary for being able to sleep through a hurricane, a bad thunderstorm, and a top fuel dragster firing off combined…you have to throw me out a window to wake me up.
5. Are you good under pressure?
~Initially I will feel a little unsure of myself and my abilities but I have been trained through working in trauma and emergency not to let that show. Once I get a quick feel for what’s going on I am fine, I can do pretty much anything under pressure and survive it and even thrive in it.
Hi Karen! I’ve always wondered, are you Asian? Filipino? 🙂
Yup, I’m Filipino. 🙂
1. What are your most comfortable shoes? Jeans?
For shoes it would be any of my Ziera ballet flats, and for jeans it would be either of my Guess skinny jeans!
2. Have you ever been wine tasting?
A couple of times, but I’m quite picky about my wines, so it’s not something I would do as a normal recreational activity :-P. Whiskey tasting, on the other hand…
3. Swedish massage or deep tissue?
I’ve never really had either – besides, i I have a knot anywhere in my back or shoulders, I’m so ticklish that I have to be held down before anyone can get at it – otherwise I leap all over the place!
4. Are you a light sleeper?
Not particularly, but then I’m not a super heavy sleeper either, I don’t think!
5. Are you good under pressure?
Moderately. It depends on the kind of pressure, really. Time pressure I’m pretty good at, achievement pressure I’m decent at, but being pressured by some @$$hole to do something I react very badly to!
I remember you mentioning that you danced. How long have you been a dancer?
1. What are your most comfortable shoes? Jeans?
–Shoes would be a toss-up….for summer, either a pair of my TOMS or HAVIANAS flip flops….but come winter, it’s my UGGS!
2. Have you ever been wine tasting?
–not at a winery, but I have had wine flights….I’d love to do a wine country vacation to do just that!
3. Swedish massage or deep tissue?
–Swedish definately….I had a DT massage once and it messed me up for a week—OUCH!!
4. Are you a light sleeper?
–definately NOT….once I’m OUT, I’m dead to the world….LOL!
5. Are you good under pressure?
–I’d like to think that I am…it depends on the circumstances.
1. What are your most comfortable shoes? Jeans? I’m a shoe hoarder, so I have many. Keds for everyday running around, Haflinger slippers, Worishofer sandals which I’m wearing right now. The list goes on… Jeans I don’t wear, so none on that.
2. Have you ever been wine tasting? Weirdly, no, as I live in the Bay Area and love wine. Maybe this summer.
3. Swedish massage or deep tissue? Deep tissue all the way. Swedish just feels like I’m being pet.
4. Are you a light sleeper? Yes, unless I’m completely exhausted.
5. Are you good under pressure? I am, I’m actually thinking about going into ER/trauma nursing.
1. What are your most comfortable shoes? Jeans? Skirts and nike comfort slides. Skirts (skater) are flown and loose so they feel more comfortable than skinny jeans and leggings. Nike comfort slides are just plain and simple comfortable.
2. Have you ever been wine tasting? No
3. Swedish massage or deep tissue? Honestly don’t know
4. Are you a light sleeper? Depends, if something is loud enough.
5. Are you good under pressure? Yes, it makes me want to perform better
Glossedonbeauty.blogspot.com
1. What are your most comfortable shoes? Jeans? My most comfy shoes are slippers! Lol my fake uggs are real comfy!! My most comfy jeans are jeggings from target.
2. Have you ever been wine tasting? Yes it was awesome ingot buzzed! And it got me into wine more.
3. Swedish massage or deep tissue? Swedish I’m sensitive and too much pressure hurts!
4. Are you a light sleeper? No not really although I wake up sometimes randomly through the night.
5. Are you good under pressure? yes very calm and collected! Its in my nature and it comes in handy during crises and behaviors with clients, I’m a therapist!
1. What are your most comfortable shoes? Jeans?
I love my Gap Real Straight jeans. Shoes… probably my Toms ballet flats. I have more pairs than I probably should.
2. Have you ever been wine tasting? Nope. Wine gives me a stomachache.
3. Swedish massage or deep tissue? Either! Both!
4. Are you a light sleeper? I am a ridiculously deep sleeper. I slept through a dorm fire drill in undergrad once.
5. Are you good under pressure? Sometimes. I’m a poor public speaker under pressure, but I think I’m pretty good otherwise.
If you like to keep your to do list on your phone, then I highly recommend the carrot app. I have a feeling you would like it because it gives you a virtual pet cat for some reason. I like it because it gives you points for finishing things, and I need some sort of sense of accomplishment for doing the dishes or whatever.
I was off yesterday so today is my “monday”. lol
1. What are your most comfortable shoes? New Balance 991 that i’ve had forever! Jeans? I can live in my Hudson skinny jeans! I have 4 pairs!!
2. Have you ever been wine tasting? Yes!! Hubs and I used to frequent Napa and Sonoma quite a bit but my fave is a winery in Paso Robles.
3. Swedish massage or deep tissue? Swedish for sure, but like you Karen, I need medium pressure.
4. Are you a light sleeper? I used to be a really heavy sleeper until I had my kids. Funny thing though, I can sleep through my nieces and nephews crying through the night but if my kids whimper or cry, I’m immediately up!
5. Are you good under pressure? Yes! I actually would purposefully procrastinate so I would be under pressure to finish things…some of my best work happens under the worst pressure. I don’t make it a habit anymore since my time is squeezed to the last minute but every once in awhile I’ll do it to myself. lol!
