Best Bottles of Red Wine Under $25

Now that fall is almost here, it’s time to pack up the Chardonnay, Riesling, and light wines. If you’re like me, you love spicy & floral wines. I’m not a fan of bitter, (who is?!) light, or fruity reds. Whenever Jeff and I go wine tasting, he makes fun of the pourers who are ‘out there’ with their descriptions. For example, we had one host tell us that the wine he was pouring “has hints of leather with a smooth finish”. LOL! As I was writing my descriptions below, I caught myself getting a little cheesy, but really, how can you not when you’re describing a flavor?

One: Freakshow Cabernet

The best way to describe this wine is…rich. It’s so rich yet smooth. It has the best of all flavors from spicy to fruity to floral…but not overpowering.

Two: Bogle Essential Red

Bogle winemakers brought together four varietals to create Essential Red: Old Vine Zinfandel, Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Petite Syrah. The wine is easy to drink with just about any food. Go for this one if you’re looking for a red lovers’ gift!

Three: St. Amant Touriga

If you like spicy and/or floral wines, GET THIS. It is my favorite floral red I have ever tried. It is richly textured and not bitter at all. 

Four: Caricature Old Vine Zinfandel

This old vine zin is very fruit forward with a hint of spicy-ness. So yum!

Five: Ravenswood Old Vine Zinfandel

Can you tell I have a thing for Zinfandels? This one is packed with a jammy flavor with hints of vanilla and spice. The biggest plus is that it’s very accessible – I see it at most stores including Target!

What are your favorite reds?

Xo,

Lynn

a few ways that getting dressed/fashion is spiritu a few ways that getting dressed/fashion is spiritual:

1. experimenting with what you wear can help you see yourself in a different way & provokes inspiration.
2. Getting dressed in the morning is a way to have fun by expressing your beautiful soul for everyone to see. 
3. when you feel confident in what you’re wearing, you FEEL good.

my style evolution: I used to wear a lot of black & shunned expressing my femininity with the clothes that I wore because I was following trends. NO MORE. now: give me all the feminine LEWKS and colors 🌈

on motherhood & embracing femininity 💖 During on motherhood & embracing femininity 💖

During the first few months of my Z’s life, my body & soul felt burnt out. looking back, it was hard (and still is!) to prioritize just taking a few deep breaths each day. totally not trying to sound dramatic like so many Oprah IG captions 🤣 but it’s the truth.

during a meditation session recently, my intuition called out and invited me to reconnect with my feminine side. I realized I had abandoned much of this ‘side’. this is where the journey of activating my divine feminine energy began for me.  I’ll be sharing bits of my re-discovery here in hopes it will help you overcome the same and step in to your wholeness. 🤍

by wholeness, I mean not DOING IT ALL. being intentional & redefining the feminine experience. 

some of the words I have reclaimed include…

emotional, ease, wild, & healing 

do you have words to describe your feminine energy?

reflecting back on the past year has put into perspective how critical taking the leap and moving to a new place has been for my personal growth and development, and if you’re thinking about moving, this is your sign to do it!

the change of environment has been SO beyond magical for many reasons…it’s taken me out of my comfort zone, given so many new and exciting experiences, and expanded social connections. 

🤍10/10 recommend, even when you’re super pregnant 😜

Even with other clean products, my scalp was not happy and it’s such a relief to find a product that WORKS that isn’t medicated or full of crap ingredients. so excited to share with y’all as I have always shared my scalp/hair journey and finally feel like my scalp is THRIVING 💖
