What can I say, I’m a hallmarkie- I love all things Hallmark Channel. Autumn is one of my favorite seasons and I’m sharing 10 movies you’ll fall in love with (see what I did there?). That’s another thing you should know bout me, besides binge-watching the Hallmark Channel, I never miss an opportunity to throw…
What I Plan On Reading This Fall: I’ve always loved reading. For as long as I can remember I’ve been infatuated by stories- both reading and writing them. As a child I remember being in awe of bookstores, libraries, and really any place that housed books. The last two years I’ve been recovering from a…
To start, during worship we sang the song I’ve been obsessed with- seriously, that’s not an understatement- I’m talking full-on ugly crying in the car with mascara running down my face, scream-singing the lyrics on full blast while the song is on repeat and all the other cars in the car line are staring at…
It’s important to know the difference between a red and white wine glass for an optimal drinking experience. These glass types differ in size, shape, and overall functionality. Red vs white wine glasses are designed and intended to hold two different styles of wine. Typically, red wine glasses have a larger bowl which helps the…
Last month I decided to start making time to think of and write down my intentions for the upcoming month. I shared how my friend Gina creates monthly intentions and shares them on her blog and social media which in turn inspired me to do the same. Each month I’m going to be sharing the…
Terms such as “region”, “variety”, and “varietal” are mentioned and discussed amongst the wine community and those in the business like the weather.

I swear shopping for a sports bra is more like dating. Hear me out. Ladies, with both we’re looking for “the one”. You know- high quality: dependable and supportive, etc. Well, with bras it’s the same. There should never be a sacrifice of quality for style. Not to mention, long lasting, weightless, versatile bras allowing…
Being in the wine industry, my awareness for how people drink wine has drastically increased. In particular, I’ve noticed the way people hold the stemware- both correctly and incorrectly and how most often, people set themselves up for failure. Meaning the way they are drinking wine is all wrong and preventing them from REALLY being…
Earlier this month I attended the free lululemon vision and goals workshop at their new Lincoln Park Experiential store. This was the debut of the Values and Goals workshop and it was absolutely amazing! I saw this event on the @lululemonchi Instagram account and signed up ASAP. Good thing I did because both nights ended…
Last month at my Propel Women’s Chapter we started the evening with the phrase “if you really knew me you would know..” and then filled in the blank. Well, if you really knew me you would know I love the Hallmark channel. Love might actually be an understatement… seriously. A week or two ago when…
Over the weekend I tackled one of my September intentions- finding a hobby. Saturday afternoon I tried out wood burning, a craft I’ve never done before… or really even thought of. Last month I connected with Johanna, owner of Graze Gourmet, a Chicago based charcuterie/ platter company. She and I contributed to an event a…
I love goal setting and planning. I have for as long as I can remember. My friend Gina creates monthly intentions and shares them on her blog and social media. I love tuning in each month to see what she has to say and it has inspired me to make intentions this month. I wasn’t…
