I forget sometimes how long it’s taken us to learn how to pick a good wine. It hasn’t always been this way. How do you pick out a good wine? Here's one way you can.

The fires are spreading quickly but by the time you read this, they will have spread a lot more. However, even though the fire seasons are rough, you can still visit when the fires are over. Even still.

It may be a common thread we’ve been telling ourselves for a long time and has certainly made me feel comfortable about never caring what others think. For the most part, I’ve always thought this has been a strength of mine until now.

If you’re just slightly familiar with Santa Barbara, you know that there are different neighborhoods that differ when it comes to wine tastings.

Here are my recommendations based on wine, atmosphere, and location if you’re trying to decide where to go for wine tasting.

Reputation Management doesn’t have to be complicated, expensive, nor does your business have to be in crisis mode to need it. Managing your reputation online should be as crucial to your business as being claimed on Yelp.

I tried different things and failed a lot in the beginning. However, I learned to love PB dishes not because I’ve completely changed my diet to plant-based but I accomplished learning to eat more produce and less meat.

The reason I published my first 26 days of changing my diet in 26 Days; A whole Food Plant-Based Diet and What You Need to Know was to show how truly hard it was for me. Critics believe a plant-based diet should be easy. Well, it’s not for a lot of us.

Ways of doing things have changed and now we’re doing things we would have never imagined doing before the pandemic. How long everything will be open, well, who knows.

This is what some people are considering now to change it up. I thought I was the only one to think about this idea.

While at a wine tasting, we had the most beautiful view in all on Sonoma and I just couldn’t grasp the concept of these wines. I just really didn’t like them. However, as I read their wine menu, I realized I didn’t have enough experience with this type of wine.

We’ve been able to watch all the movies and videos straight from the apps that our TV comes with, no longer needing to access them from Apple TV.

And our favorite app, believe it or not, is YouTube.

Here are some of my favorite videos on YouTube.

Writing it down, putting it on paper, making a list are all important ways to remember. However, how do you write in a journal when all you can do is stare at a blank piece of paper?
