1. If you had to begin a different career, what would you do?
This is a tough one…I’m torn between painting giant canvases, blogging, or becoming a midwife.

2.What’s your most prized possession?
My most prized material possession is probably one of my snowboards…The Method or The Sick Stick (it’s a tie).

3. Favorite drink?
Kombucha! GT’s Trilogy flavor is my favorite.

4. What are you cutting out because of the economy?
I’m lucky that all my basics and family-oriented expenses are still covered. But I’m cutting back on the fun extra stuff like sunglasses and handbags. Besides, who has time to shop when we’ve got a business to build?

5. Fantasy purchase?
Cool rims and tires for my “mom” car.

6. What can’t you live without?
Malia Mills bikinis.

7. What’s next on your “to do” list?
Fiji with my family and another heli-snowboard trip to Alaska with my husband.

8. Biggest regret?
I didn’t start doing yoga earlier in life. I’ve been at it for 15 years, but I’m still far from enlightened.

9. Cause that you’re most interested/involved in?
I’ve been working a lot with The Waldorf School of Orange County where my boys go to school. I’m also a big supporter of all the community health and education programs that Planned Parenthood provides. The mammogram screenings they provide for lower income women are essential.

10. Your dream day in Orange County?
A surf in the morning with my boys. Some Bear Flag for an early lunch. A Dixie Pop at my friend Chi Lin’s store, LMNOP (next door to Bear Flag). Head to the beach. Throw the baseball around.. play some beach volleyball til the sun sets. Go out for sushi.

11. Favorite place for breakfast?
My house. No one makes a smoothie and a scrammie like me! But my favorite breakfast spot is The Garden at The Four Seasons in New York.

12. What was the best day of your life?
I’ve got two of them: The days each of my boys arrived. I had two amazing home births…my husband caught them (with Lorri Walker, our midwife, supervising).

13. Last concert that you went to?
I’m a classic rock fan…I went to see Peter Frampton at The Greek play The 30th Anniversary Tour of Frampton Comes Alive.

14. Favorite vacation spot?
Probably Tavarua…I spend my days there doing yoga, scuba diving, surfing and stand-up paddle boarding. Sometimes I even fish or hit a few tennis balls… I sleep a lot, knit, hang out on the beach and swim in a warm water. And my husband is happy because he gets his surf fix. And the Fijian people are so warm and welcoming.

15. If you had to live somewhere else, where would you like to move?
Maybe Kaua’i…it’s magical there.

16. Favorite books?
I just read Game Change, so fascinating. But my favorite books are by Jane Austen. I love Pride & Prejudice and Northanger Abbey.

17. Favorite restaurants in Orange County?
Café Zoolu is an old favorite for a sit down dinner with my husband. Our family favorites are Bear Flag and Crow Burger Kitchen.

18. Biggest accomplishment?
My happy family.

19. What’s your biggest fear?
Something happening to the happy family.

20. Secret most people don't know about you
I’m a Texan, but I try to pass for native Cali.

Lincoln Street Boutique

In the heart of San Clemente on the historic Del Mar Avenue lies a new shopping gem called Lincoln Street Boutique. Just a few months old this upscale contemporary women's boutiques is already making it's mark as a "haute" shopping destination and one I MUST share with all my readers.

Style maven and 20 year fashion industry vet Mendy Conrad wanted her boutique to be like a curated closet with clothing you’d want to covet for years to come as well as trendy pieces that you'd want to wear every day; whether it's a fabulous jacket or the perfect party dress or basics like a great fitting t-shirt or that favorite pair of jeans in classic indigo and Springs "IT" hue Neon - Lincoln Street has it!

What I love best about this boutique is that Mendy in her own words prefers "denim and basics over prints and bling". As well as she features up and coming designer and the most popular brands around like Joes Jeans, Three dot, Brandy Melville and Chan Luu; Shoes By Jeffrey Campbell and Seychelles; bathing suits by Beach Bunny and one of my favorite denim lines Current & Elliot.

Whether you grab some goods for yourself or purchase presents for fashionable friends, you'll be glad you added Lincoln Street to your list of must stop shops. Receive 10% off your entire purchase by heading over to their Facebook Page and giving them a "Like", I can't think of a better way to start the Spring Season then a little shopping spree.
