Wine, wine and more wine!


So check it, I'm no wine connoisseur, but I know how I like my wine to taste. I'm not a fan of dry wine, I love a more sweet and tantalizing taste that will tickle my taste buds. I went to Olive Garden a few months ago and had the BEST tasting Moscato I have ever tasted. It is Castello del Poggio Moscato d'Asti 2007. I have since yet to find another Moscato that can live up to the expectations of my Castello del Poggio Moscato d'Asti 2007 that I tasted at Olive Garden. Fun facts about the Castello del Poggio Moscato d'Asti 2007:

Vinification and maturation:
Fermentation is allowed to progress until the wine has obtained 5% alcohol. Then the grape’s natural sugar content is preserved by refrigeration in order to give the wine its unique sweet and aromatic characteristics.

Color:
Straw-yellow with golden reflections and a delicate mousse.

Bouquet:
Intense and very inviting, with delicate scents of underbrush, musk and peaches.

Flavour:
Sweet but not at all cloying; well-balanced and with an extremely refined fruitiness.

Serving temperature:
6°-7°

Alcohol level:
5,5%


Trust me, if your looking for a new taste or a fan of Moscato, try Castello del Poggio Moscato d'Asti 2007. It's not at all expensive, prices can start from $16.99 a bottle. Check out this website to locate stores that sell this magnificent creation.
Trust me, you will not be disappointed, you will love it as much as I do ;-)

Daring Summer Nail Lacquers!!




Hey folks, I know its been a while, but I'm back with a little something for yall. I hope yall are keeping cool in this dramatic heat wave we are having this summer. Remember to stay hydrated and keep out of the sun if you can. Anyways, I'm here today to talk about my newest obsession: NAIL POLISH. Since a couple of months ago, I've found myself collecting fun, cool and seasonal nail polish. I'm trying out new colors like blues and greens which are both very bold and daring choices. I recently found myself in Ulta, the ULTIMATE beauty shop. I L O V E this store because they usually have super sales every month. I especially L O V E when they have nail polish specials like buy 2 get 1 free or buy 1 get 1 free. That's when I usually go in and stock up :-). Just this last week I purchased an Orly nail lacquer in "blue collar" and China Glaze nail lacquer in "turned up turquoise". These two colors are beautiful, I've gotten multiple compliments from men an women alike. They are definitely bold, stand-out colors. They will draw a lot of attention, so be prepared to be praised for having such HOT colours this season. Oh and another thing, if you're looking for great nail polish that wont chip or fade, try these two lines. They last F O R E V E R and they DO NOT chip away. Trust me when I say this, I'm a stickler for peeling away at my nail polish, usually because they start to chip so I get bored and peel the rest of the polish off. These don't chip, so therefore I do not get the urge to peel them away. I'm going on day five now, and my nails look like I just had them painted! Try them, you will L O V E them, I promise ;-)
