This story takes place at the L.A. Farmers Market when I was on a day trip with my folks. I happened to wander into this little French shop that has all sorts of wines on display. Little did I know this would indeed change my life in regards to drinking wine. I needed to find a wine that was low in sugar for my folks and a sulfite-free wine for myself (which is a needle in a haystack). I love drinking wine, but now that I'm getting older the side effects really don't outweigh the benefits for me. I am super sensitive to histamines and sulfites. I hate how I feel the next day when I drink a glass or two. The stuffy nose and headaches are a drag. While in the store I started chatting with one of the clerks about what I was looking for. He said "I'm sorry, we don't carry any low sugar or sulfite-free wines".  I was not surprised considering 99% of all the wine shops that I've come across don't stock that. Didn't hurt to ask, right? The only sulfite-

Sherlock Lotion Candle My samples came in from Forage Candle Co . and I am so excited to share! Forage Candle Co . made a really nice impression with the packaging considering it was only samples. As I opened the package, the samples were nicely wrapped in black tissue paper with a tiny card on top with Forage's One Tree Planted statement (sorry, I bent the little card while looking at it, oops). They are on a mission to plant 100,000 trees, so when you purchase any full sized Forage product, you plant a tree! That's awesome, I love it! Some of my sample favorites were Sherlock  and Pride and Prejudice ,   which is funny, because they are two very distinctive smells. The Sherlock luxury lotion sample has a masculine scent, but it's not overpowering, it's pretty subtle. You can definitely smell pipe tobacco mixed with old leather and a tinge of spice.  Maybe this IS how Sherlock smelled when he was off solving mysteries in the streets

So I have been using my new essential oils for over a week now. So far I have been very pleased with Simply Earth Essential Oils  products. I found out that they are a young company that really delivers on quality and affordability. You can tell they love what they do and they stand behind their brand. They post so many recipes online and they often send out discounts to their loyal customers and, by the way, I love their videos. My husband, who never really used essential oils before, now uses them in the shower and around the house. It cracks me up on how into it he is. You can just imagine this big, burly man, with his diffusers making his "blends." I love it!  I leave a small bottle of Eucalyptus oil in the shower for him to use in the morning. He wakes up with congestion almost every morning and likes to put some drops with some water in his hands and inhale the vapor. He said it totally helps clear up his congestion. He's starting to get use to the spa feel, which I
