Bleu Lavande– Essential Well-Being
We know we need to take care of ourselves, but it has been hard this year. Valentines is a great time to remind our loved ones that they deserve some pamper time. Bleu Lavande uses the natural calming effects of Lavender throughout their products. All their products are made and come from their lavender farm. My favorite is their Zen Moment and Sweet dreams set. A great night’s rest is really the best gift you can give anyone. Lavender is one of the greatest natural ways we can achieve zen and calming. And good news is that it is only one click away farm to door on amazon. Create the pamper moment: Draw a bath with lavender bath foam, light some candles, pour a glass of wine, put on some music, lay out their favorite book and close the door.

Pine Ridge is a beautiful winery in Napa and has just launched February Virtual Date Nights. Every Thursday in February they will do a virtual tasting with people from around the world.

We look at the color, then smell it, and then of course taste. What do you smell and taste? All sparkling wine has its own unique taste. Sparkling wine was founded in 1600 by mistake by Dom Perignon. The most famous is champagne. Some people think that all sparkling wine is champagne, but it has to be from the region in France called champagne to be called that. All others are sparkling wine. There is so much you can learn from wine tastings!
