Where would you like or prefer to live your Fabulous life?
RS: In an old historical mansion that has a huge well maintained property with amazing landscape. There is a gym room with all the equipment imaginable along with a mini spa. There is a huge kitchen that Martha Stuart would be jealous of. There is a movie room that looks like a theater, a terrific wine cellar, a room the size of a large bedroom that is actually a closet, a live in housekeeper and cook, a garage with many pretty and racy cars, and lots of space to entertain inside and out on the super large patio with a pool. Of course there would be lots of bedrooms so my family and friends can visit at any time and stay as long as they want.There would be 85% fantastic weather in the low 80's, mostly sunshine, right by the beach on the east coast. The weather is free of major storms, flooding, and hurricanes.

RS: My greatest acheivement in my personal life is the life I have built for myself with my husband, family, and friends.

What is your (Fabulous) motto?
RS: "If you think you can't, your right...If you think you can, you're also right" (referring to customers that think they can't do an application I just taught them). One more...from Man of La Mancha..."I'm not what I think I am, I'm not what you think I am. I am what you think I think I am".
Regina is truly Fabulous!
