Fridays are almost as good as Saturdays. And for that, I like to celebrate things that make me smile. I hope to continue to do this so in a few years I can laugh at myself and be all like "Really, Sarah, really?!?" and allow for some perspective around here in apt 7B. Without furture adu...
I've been a mega fan of Lululemon for about 2yrs now. It's pricy stuff but is the most comfortable, flattering and lasting workout gear I have ever owned. It also washes amazingly well and while spending $86 on a pair of workout crops is ridiculous, I am washing and wearing them 2-3x week. Money well spent, I say. These Turbo Crop ones are my new favorite. I haven't "ran" in them, but have worn them to bikram a few times now and they wick the moisture better than the regular Wunder Crops and hit a bit higher on the calf which is more flattering for my shape. I love them. Lululemon, can I be your beta-tester for new gear? :)
One would think my everyday dinner/post-dinner/party wine would be from a vineyard we've visited. There is something about indulging in a big glass of California red wine from a winery you've been to and sat on the property taking in the air of the Valley (oh my gosh I am there in my head right now.) But this wine, the BFOVZ08 is just the most heavenly wonderful, affordable and fantastic wine I have come accross. It is $12.99/bottle which is easy on the wallet and you dont mind opening a few bottles at a time for a dinner party. It's smooth, has soft tannins and a bit of fruit....and it is just so CALIFORNIA. That is my only way to best describe it. Get yourself a bottle (or case!) and let me know what you think. (This wine was recommended to me by my Uncle Dan's bro-in-law Allen Narkiewicz. Allen, you rock. And your wife does too! :)
