Over the years I have tasted countless bottles of wine. Each having their individual characteristics such as taste, body and color. Various characteristics are absorbed from the soil of these regions in which they grow, so when you hear names like Alexander Valley or the Russian River Valley in California it signifies the consistent growing conditions that these wines are known for. Some of my favorite wineries are in California but there are so many other regions to explore. California amongst others have a variety of vineyards and winemakers where there is something for everyone in every price range. Its […]
Alternative Measures
Having a positive attitude has really helped me through this difficult time we commonly share. I believe things are sometimes handed to us that we don’t understand or make any rhyme or reason for it. So I’ve taken this opportunity of slowing down to rejuvenate and empower myself with all the knowledge and tasks I’ve been previously complaining about not having enough time for in the past. Yes, taking alternative measures! The first day of summer has come and gone and usually I’d have taken several trips by now. Looking forward to my days off and heading to the beach […]
The Love of Music
When I hear music, it instantly changes my mood. While there are many musical genres I joyfully gravitate towards jazz as I find it provocative and enjoy how it’s capable of incorporating different streams of music. Music that makes your body move, your foot stomp with a little head motion! (lol). If you’re a music lover I’m sure you can relate. Over the years, I’ve been very fortunate in finding some awesome music right here in the wonderful state of Delaware. What’s happening Delaware! When you think about Delaware, I bet you don’t think about Live Music featuring Jazz bands, […]
Shrimp Scampi with a Twist
I love being in the kitchen cooking and experimenting with different approaches to some of my favorite dishes. Taking a simple dish to new heights or making a complex dish less complicated. I began experimenting with the idea of taking a simple shrimp scampi recipe and adding a remarkable twist for a more dynamic punch. I call it “Scampi with a Twist”. I thought it came out fabulous with the right amount of blended flavors, and have made it several more times for family and friends. This recipe is made best with an angel hair or fettuccini size pasta, however; […]
My Laser Lipo Review
This is a review and has no monetary or affiliate connection to the services being reviewed. Over the past few years I’ve been trying to get rid of some stubborn pockets of fat. After 3 C-sections later the odds were against me. I’m sure some of you can relate to my underlying saga (lol). You know; the resistant fat that doesn’t disappear with diet or exercise. So that’s my story and I’m sticking to it! Finally, I thought I would consider an alternative approach to my attempt to get rid of this stubborn fat. I began researching non-invasive procedures such […]
Christmas at the Ronald McDonald House of Delaware
I love volunteering and giving back to the community. There’s nothing better than contributing to a worthy cause knowing that every little bit makes a big difference in someone’s life. This is what I feel every time I walk into the Ronald McDonald House of Delaware. The Ronald McDonald House of Delaware provides temporary accommodations to families of seriously ill or injured children that are receiving care at various area hospitals. Some of these families travel far from home and need to be close to their child during their care, for love and support. Volunteers come in daily and take […]
Fun in the Desert
Ahhh, do you remember the vacations that make you don’t want to come back to reality. You know those times when you’re living outside of yourself and having the time of your life. Thinking, I want this to last forever or pinch me am I dreaming. Vacations like that are exclusive and you remember them for a lifetime. Reminiscing when the kids were younger and how they would get so excited about going somewhere new and adventurous where they could do things out of the norm and meet new friends. You know that meant going to a kid and adult […]
Natures Beauty
I have some pretty awesome friends and It makes me feel good when they share moments from the heart that promote joy, love, happiness and puts a smile on your face because that’s who they are. One of my dear friends has been taking the most breathtaking photos of flowers in bloom. Everyday she captures one just as beautiful as the day before. I find myself anticipating what’s next. They’re all so beautiful, vibrant, in an array of colors that just jump off the page at you. I’m in admiration that she thought to do something so unique bringing such […]
Summer Toenail Care
I’m not much of a winter person so when Spring arrives it puts a smile on my face. Trees begin to bloom, flowers begin to blossom and oh yeah, there’s that incredible warmth from the Sun. Each season brings something different, but it’s in the Spring when things truly come alive. Spring is when I begin transitioning for the summer months. There’s so much to do in preparing for this season. Ladies, I think you know what I mean! The shorts come out, bathing suits, skimpy tops, sandals and flip flops just to name a few. There are a few […]
Vegan controversy
Over the past several years there’s been an increase in the vegan lifestyle. Personally, I’m a big fan of my veggies. There’s so many different approaches you can take with recipes in creating that special dish that just screams yummm! I’m not sure what the controversy is but Vegan spells flavor just as much as meat does in so many different ways. The one thing I enjoy about vegan dishes is that most vegetables take on the flavor of the spices used to create them and therefore it can be challenging detecting what veggie you might be eating. And, of […]
