1. What character in a movie or book do you most identify with?: Meg Ryan in "You've Got Mail". She's fun, sassy, lighthearted, and just a caring, down to earth person.

2. What do you do to relax?: Get a massage at Spa Gaucin! Or, if the weather permits, I love sunbathing with a great book on the Kindle.

3. Favorite vacation spot?: I am in love with Napa, CA. I want to retire there - have a little cottage surrounded by a great big vineyard and lots of dogs!

4. Where haven't you been that you're dying to go?: Turtle Island - One day I WILL go!

6. Who had the biggest influence on your life?: My parents - equally. My dad taught me how to be a business woman. He led by example. His leadership and poise are things that I have admired all my life. He's so genuine and so respected. He's like a rock but with the biggest heart.

No one has loved me more than my mom. She has taught me compassion, how to take care of people and how to love unconditionally - again leading by example. If you saw how she is with her kids, you'd be really jealous.

7. Favorite drink?: 2005 A Cote - The Red Blend (the best wine I have ever had for the price)

8. Favorite restaurants in Orange County?: This is a tough one. I am a total foodie. I love so many!
Japanese, San Shi Go (345) in Newport Beach; Cafe Hiro in Cypress; Kappo Sui in Costa Mesa; Italian, Alessa in Newport Beach; American, Eat Chow in Costa Mesa; Soup Plantation (veggies does your body good); Spanish, Lola Gaspar in Santa Ana; Chinese, Mandarin in Fountain Valley. And when I just need comfort food, I love a bowl of chicken pho.

10. Dumbest investment?: World Gaming Corporation - an online casino company that basically just took my money and the money of many of my friends.

12. Biggest accomplishment?: Opening my boutique and still being open in these rough times.

15. If you had to begin a different career, what would you do?: I would be Anthony Bourdain without the potty mouth.

16. Secret most people don’t know about you?: I'm actually really goofy. You probably won't see in your lifetime because it never comes out in public.

17. Who is your favorite fictional character?: I don't really have one. If I had to choose someone though, I'd have to say Edward Cullen. Yes, I somehow got sucked into the Stephanie Meyer series.

20. What was the best day in your life?: The best day and most stressful day of my life was the day I unlocked the doors of my boutique to 'open shop'--a dream come true.
