If we are being honest, wine was never my go-to beverage. They were too bitter, too sweet, or too dry for me to want to enjoy over dinner or watching a movie with my husband. But I loved tasting and trying different brands and types of wines. I would never turn down a glass when with friends too – especially when watching “The Bachelor.” Wine is essential for that show.

When my dear friend, Margaret Hodges, became a consultant for Scout and Cellar, I was immediately intrigued. Margaret knows her wine, and I know she wouldn’t partner with just any company. At the first opportunity available, I hosted a wine tasting at my home with Margaret. That tasting was one of the most enjoyable events. Great friends AND great wine. I was so impressed with each wine, and Margaret was wonderful in explaining the differences. Since then, I’ve preferred to enjoy Scout and Cellar wine over them all. I actually choose wine when I know I have my favorite – Fieldhouse Pinot Noir.

Scout and Cellar made its way to my Feature Friday because I recently discovered their Scout Sampler. It comes with four smaller bottles of their more popular wines. I love the resealable top and that I don’t have to open a whole bottle for myself. They also recently released Holiday Sets that are great gift options for your friends and loved ones.

I also wanted to mention the most important part about Scout and Cellar. They are a clean-crafted wine. If you want more insight on what this means, I strongly recommend reaching out to Margaret at @worththewine on Instagram. She is a great resource in learning more.

So cheers to Scout and Cellar and cheers to the weekend, y’all!

I am IN LOVE with 1) the current bracelet trend and 2) the bright color trend. Two of my favorite things combined in one! When a friend shared the @janeandjunecollection Instagram page, I knew I needed to add these bracelets to my jewelry collection.

These bracelets can be customized and have several solid-color options as well. I chose to go with my two boys names this round, but I like the bracelets with encouraging words too. They are elastic bracelets and completely filled with beads.

Go check out @janeandjunecollection today to add a little color to your life.

Today’s Feature Friday is a great shop here in town, Gruene with Envy. They have SO many items that are just different enough to stand out – in the best way. They also have a ton of closet staples as well.

If you’re ever in the area, I hope you check out Gruene with Envy!

I love to shop local – and River Road Clothing Company makes it easy to do. My husband first began our River Road collection with the NBTX sweatshirt, which then continued with an NBTX hat, stickers, and the newest addition – the flag. We love supporting this great community, and this mighty town sure has some pride!

One of my newer items is the Texas thunderbird tank. It’s a great piece to dress up or down. The tank is great to wear when you want to look put together, but want to be comfortable too. Check all their items out at The Local in downtown New Braunfels, or online at https://www.riverroadclothing.com/.

I love ALL of my Oliver & Otis tops and hats, but one of my favorites is their new “You’re one in a melon” shirt. I’m not sure if it’s because I have a melon of my own growing right now, or if I just love the colors, but it is one that always gets compliments when I am out and about. With their unique and custom-made designs, I always find myself wanting another shirt or hat every time I go to their website.

Not only do they have great items for women, they have a great selection for men too! My husband always loves wearing his “Keep it Reel” shirt when he can.

Go check out Oliver & Otis today, and don’t forget to support small and local businesses!

After my blog post about gift ideas for him, I definitely can’t leave out the ladies! There are so many routes to take when it comes to showing your love to your special someone. Here are some of my favorites when it comes to little gifts.

Shari’s Berries: I am a little biased on this one because strawberries are my favorite food. It is always a wonderful treat for me to get these, and you can have them delivered right to your special one too!

*There is a 20% off coupon right now for your Valentine’s Day order. It is a banner on the home page. All you have to do is click it, and the reduce prices are reflected throughout the site.

Pura Vida Bracelets: I’m a sucker for bracelets, and I really like to giving back when I can. Pura Vida bracelets are the best of both worlds. Not only does Pura Vida have great bracelets, they have bracelets that donate towards certain causes too – animal awareness, women’s causes, service/military, education, and more! It will also show her that you ARE paying attention to things she really cares about in life. 🙂

Kendra Scott: I will admit, and my husband can testify, that Kendra Scott steals my heart when it comes to accessories. You can usually find it on my birthday and Christmas list every year. Kendra Scott is extremely popular in right now for all ages too. They also have every size and color to fit your age and hairstyle. Not all of the jewelry is real stone, but it is cute, fun, and super trendy right now.

Jon Hart: If luggage or bags is something she likes, then Jon Hart is a safe win. They have everything for every budget. You can also customize the color and name on the product.

My all-time favorite piece is their clear Grande bag. It holds makeup perfectly, and also is TSA-approved for traveling.

The only catch to this one is that you might not have enough time to get it by Valentine’s Day if you order online. However, stores carry it as well. You might not get to put her name on the piece, but they have generic images as well.

Don’t forget to purchase film too, or you will be running to the nearest Best Buy or Urban Outfitters to pick some up!
