Be. Winery

I have to start the post by saying that this is a product I was introduced to via Bzzagent.com and as a Bzzagent was given the opportunity to try Be. Wines at a low cost.


I was recently given the opportunity to try Be. Wines at a low cost (high value mail in rebate).  Be. Wines are marketed towards women in a fun, flirty, girly way.  Even the packaging is cute.

The kit came with a mail in rebate for me and some $3 mail in rebates to pass along to friends along with some other goodies such as a nail file, lip gloss, mirror, and mints.

It originally took me a while to find the wines in my area because they are fairly new.  But I waited a few weeks and was able to get them at the Walmart closest to my house.  I purchased the Be. Radient which is a Riesling and Be. Flirty which is a Pink Moscato.  If I remember correctly I paid about 9.97 per bottle at Walmart but I have seen some other Bzzagents say they found them for around $11 or $12 at other grocery stores. 

I was able to share the Be. Radiant with my mom who prefers Rieslings during her visit last week.  I don't drink a lot of wine so I really don't have any thing to compare it too but found it wasn't bad.  My mom said it was good, it didn't have a lot of flavor but did have a faint fruity flavor.  She said it was MUCH better than some of the Reislings she and my dad have gotten ahold of in the past. 

I gave the Be. Flirty a try a couple days ago and shared a little with my husband who does not like wine and said it was horrible.  I actually really enjoyed the Pink Moscato. It was not syrupy sweet but it was more on the sweet side which suits me just fine.   I can definitely see myself purchasing the Be. Flirty Pink Moscato again.

Overall I enjoyed both of them and found them to be decent priced.

Personal Cookbook

Several years ago a friend gave me a cookbook with blank pages under tabbed sections where you could write in your own recipes.  I used that book till it fell apart and the pages were so splattered you could barely read them.  I looked all over for something similar but couldn't find anything I liked.  I wanted a full page to write not a little note card and I wanted a way to protect the pages from splatters and if I could type the recipe out that would be even better.  So I decided to make my own.  I used what I already had on hand.  A 3 ring notebook, page protectors and post it note tabs.

Here is the outside of my folder.  I still need to come up with a cover sheet but I will worry about that later.

I only place tried and true recipes that my family approves in this folder so the recipes that I am working on perfecting go in the front pocket then once they are just the way we like them the get put in the back pocket so I can type them up and print them out.  We are picky eaters so just about ever recipe has to be modified to suit our tastes.  All recipes are saved in a word document so if something happens to the printed pages I can just reprint them.  I may eventually ad pictures but I haven't decided yet.  I also have several recipes that are just in my head that I have yet to sit down and write out. 

I keep recipes printed off the internet or photocopied from cookbooks I have checked out from the library in a separate folder.

It is a work in progress and likely always will be.  I hope that I can one day print everything out and bake cookbooks for my kids when they grow up and move out.

I really love nail polish.  Its so fun and girly and Amelia loves it as well.  I would say I had a problem but I have found that my collection is down right pitiful in comparison to others.

I keep my polish in a drawer set I found at Micheals craft store.  The first drawer holds my main collection.  As you can see I favor China Glaze but also love Orly and Zoya.  I get most of my CG and Orly from Sally Beauty Supply because with my Beauty Club Card ($5 for one year which is waived for military) it is much cheaper than most places. 

The second drawer holds mini polishes and other brands along with files, clipers, removers, top and base coats and treatments.  Since I do not currently have a dressing table this storage unit sits on the small dresser I use for makeup and there is nowhere to sit and do my nails so I use the little container on the right to carry what I want into the office and sit at my desk to do my nails. 

The third and final drawer just has some samples, unopened makeup and miscellaneous makeup tools so I didn't take a picture of that at this time.

Hope you enjoyed seeing a little peak at my madness.
