The last time I've done crafts was when I was in middle school, and we did clay pots, and I'm not interested in that.

I went to get a pedicure and that was when I was going up to see my husband for Valentine's Day and I just wanted to look good. It was the Wednesday before Valentine's Day.

It seems that every time I do something nice for somebody, somehow it does come back around. That's not my motive ... something good will happen to me if I do something good. It honestly makes me feel good to put a smile on someone's face.

I look forward to spending more time outside, I like nature, I like walks in the park, I get to see my husband more now that it gets warmer. Being with my family and just enjoying outside.

Nothing.

We got a couple's massage, my better half and I, last Saturday, because we deserve it -- a Valentine's gift to each other.

It makes you feel good. It's a good feeling.

Being outside, because I love outdoors.

I do quilting and needlecraft -- sewing.

Oh, my gosh, it has to be before I became a mom. I don't remember. I don't know what I did to treat myself.

It's rewarding. You feel rewarded. You feel good that you've done something for someone.

Being outside because it's warm out, and I don't have to have the heat on.

Really, I don't do any crafts, I don't guess, that I can think of.

Actually went and had a massage, last weekend. I've never had one. Just to relax.

I think it comes back to you. I think all good deeds are rewarded, I think you should do it from the heart, because you want to.

Being in the sunshine, just to be outside, have a nice day.
