1. I LOVE Proseco and Sparking wine in general. My favorite is La Marca which I can get for about $11 at Costco and there is a new Kirkland Proseco that is only $7 a bottle. Both are delicious and so wallet friendly, however I was intrigued by this article from the Rachel Ray website highlighting the five best sparkling wines under $15. Click here for the article.
2. I know that Mason Jar Salads are all over Pinterest and they are super fab, but this article featuring 5 Mason Jar Desserts has given me a new outlook (and love for) these trusty containers.
3. Eight Sunscreens That Actually Smell Delicious: I read this and immediately felt like I needed to pass this along. As I am getting older I am doing everything I can to preserve the skin I have. Sunscreen is a must and if I can find some that smell yummy as well – then that is a bonus.
