Wine Wednesday via the Birthday Van Celebration

HI ya Gorgeous!
It's Thursday - and this is from yesterday - on my birthday road trip to the beach!

It’s a birthday wine day! The beaches are open and we have road tripped to Malibu to enjoy some sand and surf! Plus lunch from Neptune's Net! So much good time and fun - even though the red tide made it stinky. 

 Shout out and thank you to all the new subscribers! I appreciate you watching and sharing the video. Today's wine selection is unconventional though would be a perfect fit for a road trip, picnic, event where glass is not allowed. Electric wine decanter for the win from Amazon https://amzn.to/2Av2anh

Wine Wednesday - Field Trip Edition

Hi ya Gorgeous!
Thank you for tuning in today - welcome back to those who are returning and welcome to those who are new!

On Wednesdays - I do wine reviews. Not just any wine review - those bottles and brands that are $10 and under.  Normally I shop at the Walmart or Safeway, but, today! Today I am on a field trip in Las Vegas and shopping at Total Wine.  This store is purely devoted to all things alcohol and wine. There are so many choices - though for this video and my budget, I am only getting wines in the $10 and under range.

If you have a recommendation of a $10 and under wine, please post in the comments.

Now enjoy this field trip to the Total Wine store!

Happy St Patrick's Day

Hi ya Gorgeous!
Oh - it's a good day to be alive! The weather is amazing, life is good and today is St Patrick's Day.

 There is so much more to the history of who the patron saint of Ireland is - St Patrick.
He has a rich history of victory and triumph yet it seems to get washed over in green beer as celebrating takes on a new tone in these current days.

Below, I have some history for you to read and enjoy. Some say it's myth, legend or folklore - I say, read and enjoy, take what bits you want to make yours!

St. Patrick's Life

Saint Patrick is the patron saint of Ireland. He was a Christian missionary given credited with converting Ireland to Christianity in the AD 400s. So many legends surround his life that the truth is not easily found.

St Patrick was not actually Irish. His exact birthplace and date is not known. However it is believed he was born around 375AD in Scotland. His parents were Calpurnius and Conchessa, were Romans living in Britain in charge of the colonies.

His real name is believed to be Maewyn Succat and he took on the name Patrick upon becoming a priest.

As a teen he was kidnapped by pirates and sold into slavery in Ireland to herd and tend sheep on Slemish mountain, Co Antrim.

During his six-year captivity, he became fluent in the Irish language, he turned to God in prayer. He escaped after having a dream sent from God in which he was told to leave Ireland by going to the coast where he would find a ship waiting to sail to Britain.

He is believed to have met up with his parents in Wales before travelling to France where he became a priest and later a bishop.

Patrick was sent another dream in which the people of Ireland were calling out to him to come and walk among them once more.

He was set the task of teaching Christianity to the Irish. He travelled throughout Ireland, preaching the Gospel and converting many. He and his disciples preached and converted thousands and began building churches all over the country.

Patrick preached and converted all over Ireland for 40 years. The date cited for when Ireland was converted to Christianity is 432.

There is much debate over when and where he died. It is believed he died on 17 March, 460 at Saul, Downpatrick. That is why Saint Patrick's day is celebrated on March 17th. Some people suggest he was also born on 17 March.

The clans of Ireland began to bicker over who should receive the honour of having his final resting-place on their land. To avoid this sacrilegious end to his life his friends secreted away his body to bury in a secret grave. Many believe this to be in Downpatrick, County Down, where there is a permanent memorial.

Too Much Saturday Fun? Arbonne Rescue & Renew Detox Bath Soak to the Rescue!

Hi ya Gorgeous!

Happy Saturday! Oh - this year! I've said it before and I will say it again - every day goes by like a minute!  I'm in the middle of Passover/Easter prep, here at the house.

It's heartbreaking to not be traveling to Texas this year.  Choices had to be made, and this is one thing we gave up so we could have some other opportunities this summer. More on that later.

Now, if you too, over did it a bit today and have some sore spots, perhaps some aches and pains?  Then Arbonne Rescue & Renew to the rescue!

This detox bath soak can be used on one achy elbow in a soaking tub, or on feet in an at home spa pedi tub, or if the whole body aches, put yourself in the bathtub with a generous scoop of these grapefruit, tangerine, lavender, juniper berry, ginger, orange and rosemary oil infused salts.

Take good care of you! You are worth it!
