Here is a short list of Favorites that lets you know just a little more about each of us.  We won't get into our favorite products here because we'll be talking about those a lot in later posts.  Get us talking about MAC eyeshadows, nail polish, and the latest eye cream and we could go on forever.  Seriously.

Favorite time of day?

LilSis: Mornings

BigSis: Mornings

Favorite pastime?

LilSis: Working in my ceramic studio, working on my yoga practice, reading, riding my bike.  It's too hard to choose just one.

BigSis: Baking, walking, crafting, yoga-ing, visiting estate sales.

Favorite place to relax?

LilSis: The beach, the yoga studio, or in the backyard by the pool.

BigSis: The beach, but since I'm a jillion miles away from one, the pool has to do.

Favorite vacation?

LilSis: Maui

BigSis: Maui Maui Maui!  And in my dreams – Italy and Greece!

Favorite flower?

LilSis: Special japanese white lily, stargazer lilies, yellow roses, bird of paradise, hybiscus, hydrangas.  I can't choose just one.

BigSis: Hydrangea, roses and kaleidoscope orchids…they're about the only ones I'm not allergic to.  Good thing I love them.

Favorite game?

LilSis: Bowling on Wii (I hold the household record of 289!). Second place goes to RockBand on Wii. I used to love playing Sims on the PC, but there's no time for that these days. I could play that for hours!

BigSis: The Wii is pretty darn fun, but I don't have one.  I have to admit that my secret guilty pleasure for the last 8 years or so is playing Diablo on the PC, and even though I don't have time to do it much any more, it's still my favorite.

Favorite magazine?

LilSis: At present, it's a tie between Body+Soul and Fit Yoga.

BigSis: Although I subscribe to “Bon Appetit” and “Domino”, rIght now, I'm liking “More”.  The content just seems more relevant and accessible, rather than presenting airbrushed and photoshopped model twigs that don't even look like that themselves.

Favorite Dessert?

LilSis: I don't eat dessert.

BigSis: I'm not a big sweet eater, but when confronted by a brownie or cheesecake, I WILL have to have a bite!

Favorite fast food place?

LilSis: Taco Bell or Wendy's

BigSis: Schlotsky's!

Favorite restaurant?

LilSis: Locally, it's Vigilluccis on Coast Highway in Carlsbad. In Texas, it would have to be Anamia's in Southlake or Abuelo's in North Richland Hills.

BigSis: Mia's on Lemmon Avenue in Dallas for Mexican, Patrizio's or Taverna for Italian.

Favorite drink (non-alcoholic)?

LilSis: Diet Rock Star first thing in the morning.  Then I switch to “Smart Water” for the rest of the day.

BigSis: Water

Favorite drink (alcoholic)?

LilSis: Kettle One & Fresca

BigSis: Heineken Light

Favorite television show?

LilSis: If I have the television on while I'm home alone, it's always on Food Network. I did get hooked on “Hells Kitchen” when it was on.

BigSis: Lost!  And Project Runway and Top Chef!

Favorite movie?

LilSis: I'm a sap for anything that has a happy ending.

BigSis: Lord of the Rings (first one) or Forrest Gump?  Big, Steel Magnolias, Dirty Dancing, Rocky #1?  It's hard to say!
