What's For Breakfast - Not much, since Buxton has little more than a small container of orange juice in her refrigerator. "It just shows how busy my life is," she shrugs. "I don't eat breakfast. I just stop at Starbucks. I like the Caramel Macchiato [coffee drink]. I like it really sweet." |

Good Morning Sunshine - Buxton likes an early start, even on her days off. "I like to get up around 8," she smiles. "Then I read the newspaper and putter around." Still in her jammies, Buston pops into her home office to cuddle with feline friend Astro, a purebred male Scottish Fold. Buxton also owns a female British Shorthair cat named Venus. "I spend a lot of time in the morning with my kitties," the actress shares. "I'm not home very often, so when I am, I like to spend some time with them." |

How Does Her Garden Grow - Around 8:30 a.m., Buxton walks across the street to a community garden where she grows roses, tomatoes, basil and her favorite, plumeria (a flowering plant from Hawaii). "It's really special to me - my dad gave it to me," says Buxton. "It's what leis are made out of. I've been waiting for three years for it to bloom and [today], it actually bloomed." However, it was a love of another flower that got Buxton gardening in the first place. "I did it so I can have fresh-cut roses in my house," she grins. |

Lunch Break - After an hour and a half of weeding in her garden, a spent Buxton stops for a Ceasar salad and iced tea at an outdoor café at the Fred Segal department store. "I like to go to that café because I like to shop," she laughs. "A lot of my friends sort of meet there at lunch time. It's a fun, little place." |

Designing Women - After lunch, Buxton drops by the Feathered Next, a furniture store on L.A.'s Melrose Avenue. The shop is owned by Buxton's friend, Kim Green. "Practically everything in my house is from Kim?s store," enthuses the actress. "She sells antiques and makes custom furniture [Decorating] is sort of a hobby for me. I like to hang out at the shop and look at materials and pick things out. Kim gives me a really good deal. I go there a lot on my days off." |
|
Time To Unwind - At the end of the day, Buxton takes a dip in her backyard pool. "I spend a lot of time at the pool," she notes. "I put flippers on and do the breast stroke. The flippers are really good for the legs. When I put them and my goggles on, I look like a complete geek!" If the weather's chilly, Buxton does yoga instead. "I've taken yoga for 10 years," she shares. "I like the physical and mental part. It's very meditative." |
