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. For those who are still learning, it can be quite overwhelming- at least for me. I’ve put together a guide of the most popular regions, wine styles, and which glass you should…
Earlier this month I attended the free lululemon vision and goals workshop at their new Lincoln Park Experiential store.

We come and go like the seasons each year. Some of us bloom while the others choose to groom. But still, we’re more than what meets the eye. We’re the good and the bad- the everything in between. When we met I saw everything in black & white. The days are long, the months are…
I think we can all agree- no matter the profession, hours worked, what country we are employed in, etc. we have all had “bad” days at work. Lately I’ve noticed a pattern with friends, family, colleagues, people online and even myself. We easily complain about work yet oftentimes there is an easy solution and way…
Phil and I were at a dinner party a few weeks ago and the host shared how he remembers his first bottle of wine. While it was not expensive or of high caliber, to this day he can recall the moment the wine touched his lips and the aroma from the bottle. The moral of his story was not about the power of the alcohol, but rather who we share a bottle with and the experience. I love hearing his stories about previous dinner parties he has hosted, the places he has traveled to for tastings, and everything in-between. After learning about his latest trip to France, the stories reminded me of a shoot Phil and I coordinated a while back for a magazine where we set out to create a moment that could someday be a dinner party story.
