My Winc Wine Experience And How You Can Save $22 On Your Winc Wine Order

If you're a wine lover, addict like me, let me let you in on a monthly wine club subscription that you may or may not have heard about.  Winc is an online wine club site that offers 4 personalized wines each month. Bottles start at $13 each. Winc is not your traditional wine club: they are a direct-distribution global wine company that personalizes the entire wine experience, perfecting how wine is made, distributed, perceived and purchased via their Palate Profile quiz that recommends wine based on your unique tastes and enjoyed on behalf of a new generation of wine drinkers. 

I received my 4 bottles of wine a few days ago and I must admit, Winc done a pretty good job of choosing 4 random flavors, based off the results of the quiz I took.  I will have to say (and this should come to no shock if you know me) but the Merlot was my favorite...or was it the Rosa Obscura (red wine?)  Either way, these were my two favorites!  I don't drink white wine, not that I don't like it, but Merlot has always been my top pick.  The Funk Zone was a blend of Sauvignon Blanc and two other white wines and I actually liked this wine.  It was a little on the dry side, but that is how I like my wine.  The Funk Zone bottle was a fun designed looking bottle, which made it the first one I opened.

The bottles came carefully well packaged in a box, that displays the company's name, Winc.  I had a convenient handle at the top, easy for carrying around.  Inside the box were the 4 bottles, nicely nestled under crate material.  The selection I chose were 2 white and 2 reds.  I can't tell you how eager I was to tear into each one, but being the more responsible and somewhat patient person I am...I decided to open two - just to compare Winc's red and white.

I really enjoyed taste testing each wine, comparing them to my normal brand.  I hate to say this (or maybe I don't) but I really enjoyed Winc Wine better.  Maybe it's the quality, as my normal brand is probably the cheapest you can get, so it does matter (and makes a difference) in what you purchase and sometimes paying just a little bit more, is worth having a wine you know you will always love and count on.

You can take your Personal Palate Quiz and find out which wines Winc choose for you.  Remember...when you can receive $22 off your first subscription, just by being a new member.  you can visit: www.trywinc.com/usfamilyguide to get started now!

Plexus Slim Pink Drink - #drinkpinkandshrink

I've been hearing a lot about Plexus Slim and the different varieties they have.  One of them is the Plexus Slim Pink Drink.  I had the opportunity to try this pink drink and found myself loving it!  It's sweet, but not too sweet, and it is known to help aid in weight loss. Not only is it know for weight loss, but it was actually designed for those with Type II Diabetes. When designed for those who are diabetic, they also found that this drink gave people more energy and weight loss happened.

This drink can be taken once or twice a day, preferably 30 minutes before a meal. Instructions were pretty simple, just pour the powder mix into a 12-20 oz bottle of water, stir or shake, let sit for 30 seconds and then drink.  It's that simple!  These little packets remind me of Crystal Lite.  It's similar but with totally different benefits.  It's also said that it helps control and regulate blood sugar, cholesterol and healthy lipids.  

I have already tried three, of the five and I hope that with 5 packets, that I see some results. It's best to take this right when you first wake up in the morning.

#Winebee Red Wine Trio

Ok, so you probably know by now, if you've been following me, that I love my wine.  I'm an avid wine lover and red wine's seem to be my favorite.  Don't get me wrong, I love white wine's, but some of them tend to be a little too sweet for my taste.  I love wines that have a rich, robust and dry taste.  That's why red is my way to go.  

I was fortunate enough to have the opportunity to enjoy not one, but three bottles of Wine Bee's red wines.  The trio that I tried (which I may say I absolutely loved!) were; Quota 31 Primitivo 2012, Castello Vicchiomaggio - Rippa delle Mandorle 2013 and Luretta - Gutturnio Superiore 2012.  All three of these red wines had a distinct flavor that I loved.  

The first bottle I tried was the Luretta- Gutturnio Superiore 2012.  After one glass of this, I thought this was going to by my favorite.  It had a rich, dry and robust flavor that I loved.  It made a statement and you knew you were drinking a good quality wine....but then I tried Quota 31 Primitivo 2012...hands down...my favorite!  Maybe because it contained 14% alcohol, or maybe it had that dry, still taste of rich black fruit, spicy plum and licorice, either way, I fell in love with it!  It had such a nice, smooth flavor.  The third bottle, Castello Vicchiomaggio - :Rippa delle Mandorle 2013 was another awesome wine.  It contains 13% alcohol and has a blend of Cabernet and Sangiovese.  This wine has a fruity taste with hints of dark cherry and black currants with subtle oak and herbal notes.

All three of these wines had such an addicting taste.  After I went through all three bottles, I went to my local store and bought my regular...Merlot.  I was sad to say, that I had gotten so used to the great tasting Quota 31 Primitivo 2012, that my regular Merlot kind of let me down! 

So, a little more info about each of the wines I've tasted.  You can purchase these bottles, as well as other Italian wines, from Wine Bee's site.  They also have the trio listed on Amazon.

Wojo #Holiday Gift Set

I used to be a big fan of Crystal light (or an off brand), the powdered flavor you add to water. I used to drink it all the time, every day.  I stopped drinking the powdered drink because of the artificial sweeteners.  Some of the drinks just became to sweet for me and I wanted to add something more natural to my water.  

It wasn't until just week, that I stumbled upon Wojo.  Wojo is free of all the artificial sweeteners and sugar.  It adds no color to your water as well as no flavor.  It's gluten and vegan free and is the perfect drink for me.  Wojo has three formulas...Energy, Focus and Calm.  All three are these are something I need in my every day, sometime stressful life. The drinks come in a cute little gift box, perfect for the holiday giving.  There are 5 small plastic vials that come in each box.  

It is recommended not to use more than two vials a day.  All you have to do is add to 4-8 oz of liquid, mix or shake well and enjoy.  I really love these little Wojo drinks.  I can enjoy my water without all that sweetness and color and I don't have to worry about any artificial sweeteners.  

Here is what you can expect in the three formulas:

ENERGY: Schisandra, Ginseng, Taurine
FOCUS:   Ginkgo Biloba, Green Tea, Ginseng
CALM:      L-Theanine, Ginseng, Rhodiola

Also, $2 for every box sold, will go towards CASA (R) Association, which has been advocating for abused and neglected children since 1977!

Karamalz Malt Drink

I'll be the first to admit, I usually love to try anything new.  Anytime I see a commercial or an ad of a product I've never tried and it looks good, I want to try it.  I seem to be curious when it comes to any new beverage or drink (new to me, anyway)

Now, I don't really know how to explain the taste or flavor of this drink.  The drink that I received was the 6 pk of Karamalz Classic.  It's a malt beverage, non-alcoholic and comes from Germany.  When I opened my first bottle of Karamalz and took my first drink, I had a hard time distinguishing what flavor I was tasting....a mix between caramel and candy?  I wasn't sure.  I kept taking sips after sips, trying to figure it out.  I actually like the taste and I will tell you...it's a different type of beverage and one, that may require an acquired taste for.


Karamalz contains no additives and made exclusively from pure water, hops, malt and caramelized sugar ( awww....so it does have a caramel taste after all!)  The bottles are 330ml and dark in color, presumably, to protect the flavor.  The bottles remind me of a beer bottle, but it's definitely non-alcoholic.  

Karamalz provides healthy carbs plus vitamins, minerals and trace elements.  Karamalz is great for fitness and well being, sports and for health and spirit.  

•      supports the energy-nutrient-vitamin and mineral balance
•      supports the immune system
•      contains cholesterol-reducing malt and hop substances
•      quickly restores energy after sports
•      promotes the ability to concentrate and react
•      improves the stress bearing ability
•      supports the well being 

This seems like a great malt beverage that has many health benefits as well as providing over all well being.  Maybe this is what I need after a stressful day!  Karamalz not only comes in it's classic version, but they also have a Fresh Lemon flavor.  I can't wait to try the Fresh Lemon flavor....Lemon mixed with a caramel flavor...hmmm.

Over all, this is a very unique and different beverage.  I've never tastes anything like this before and it really does keep you guessing...what the taste reminds you of.  I was very intrigued by this drink, and knowing now of the benefits of what this beverage has to offer, I'm more curious to see what will come after a continued use of this product.  

You can visit Karamalz at their original site: Karamalz.de  or their US site: Karamalz.us

You can also find them on Amazon!

Cozyna Coffee Grinder

I am a big coffee drinker.  That may be an understatement, but I do love my coffee, morning, noon and even at night.  There's nothing better, than having a fresh cup of coffee made from coffee beans.  Normally, I purchase the ground coffee at my local grocery store, only because it's convenient and saves less time.

But when I get the chance, I do love to grind up my own coffee beans.  The aroma from the fresh beans is like nothing else.  So rich and aromatic...ahhh!  To make grinding the coffee beans easier, I had the chance to try out the Cozyna Coffee Grinder.  The Cozyna Coffee Grinder has a sleek and shiny metal look, perfect accessory to my kitchen.  It's a very simple looking gadget that is easy to operate.  The handle comes unattached, so when you get ready to grind up your coffee, just attach the handle to the grinder.

The Cozyna Coffee Grinder is very durable as it's made with a high stainless steel body.  It has an adjustable grind size, meaning, you don't have to unscrew the whole grinder just to adjust the size.  The grinder is good for one cup of coffee.  Turn the handle clockwise or counterclockwise to get the perfect grind for espresso, drip, french press, cold drip and more.

The Cozyna Grinder is portable so you can take this on trips, such as camping or vacations. It's a handy little gadget to have with you all times, especially if you are a coffee drinker like I am.  Nothing beats a great cup of coffee than the cup derived from fresh ground beans that you've grounded yourself.

Skinny Teatox Review

Lately, I've been a little on the sluggish side, not too bad, but not enough energy like I used to have several years ago.  Blame it on age, blame it on getting on blood pressure meds, or just plain, not being active.

After using the Skinny Teatox for about a week, I've noticed a difference in my energy levels. I'm not saying my energy level is through the roof, but I have had a little more energy than before.  I really love the name...Skinny Teatox.  It's very catching and the label on this product is very appealing.  

I received a 14 day supply of both the Morning Skinny Teatox and the Night time Skinny Teatox.  The Morning Teatox can be taken every morning, in place of your morning coffee or just as an extra drink.  This Morning Skinny Teatox contains caffeine and will give you the energy needed and help aid in weight loss as well as increase your metabolism,  if followed by a proper diet and exercise.

The Night time Skinny Teatox is for the evening time or right before bed.  This teatox does NOT contain caffeine, but will act as a detox for your body.  Keep in mind, you will probably have to get up and go to the bathroom after 4-8 hours after drinking it.  This teatox is to help eliminate and rid your body of waste and will cause bowel movements.  It's recommended to take the Night time teatox every other night.

Both Morning and Nighttime teatox comes in a sealed package.  The Morning teatox is loose tea leaves.  1 tsp is placed in the cute little strawberry tea strainer, to let steep for at least 2-4 minutes.  The Nighttime teatox comes in a form of a tea bag and only 1 bag per cup.
