Today is the day, a day of celebration, reflection, and thankfulness. It’s my birthday! I am over the moon excited. Honestly, not for the gifts or the praise but for the air that I breathe. I know a lot of people who did not live to see this milestone and I’m beyond blessed to be able to celebrate life today. I like to spend my birthday mornings with just me and my thoughts. That’s a little harder to do these days as my girls are just as excited to celebrate my birthday as I am. I’m expecting a few songs and dance moves this morning. I try my best to let my birthday be as peaceful and relaxing and do all the celebrating on the weekend.  This year I planned a day of shopping and a weekend of dancing. Remember the blog post from this Monday where I discussed goal setting and removing goals from the list. That is my plan this weekend and I can’t wait to share with you what the big plans are. They are quite “colorful”.

I wanted to do something a little different as it relates to birthday pictures this year. As you know by now I deemed this week Chimere’s week. Yes, I celebrated all week. Why not? Any who, I wanted to do grown and sexy for this years pictures but still keep it classy and for me that always means black. No matter how hard I try I can’t stray too far away from the color black. I love this dress because it hugs your curves just right and the train is gorgeous. It was a tad bit hard to walk upstairs with it but after you master the extra fabric you will love it. I haven’t worn a red lip in so long I decided to wear a throwback favorite, Mac’s Ruby Woo. Any avid makeup lover has this in their collection. I actually have three. Don’t judge me lol. I kept this look simple and paired it with my favorite patent leather pumps and a bracelet. I actually lift my ring at home but hey, I think I still pulled it off. I will be sure to enjoy this day and spend it with the people I love, let’s celebrate!

It’s noon, somewhere right? Maybe not, but there’s always time for a wine tour. On my recent trip to Williamsburg Virginia, I made sure I had the opportunity to visit one of my favorite wineries. The Williamsburg winery expands across a 40-acre vineyard. The property also hosts multiple restaurants as well as a boutique hotel for guest who would like to extend their stay. The grounds of this vineyard are absolutely beautiful. I felt such a sense of calm and peace while walking the property. Now of course the wine I was drinking definitely helped with my mood but what can a girl say. I was floating on air and happy as can be. I am not a wine connoisseur by any means and I’m learning which wines my palette likes. As of right now I tend to go with the sweeter wines.

My absolute favorite wine made at WW is the Governor’s White. It is a Riesling wine which for me is the next best thing to Moscato. As I said I am not an avid wine drinker and I know referencing the two in the same sentence can be seen as blasphemy by some but what can I say. I’m learning over here! This wine is soooooo good as it has multiple flavors. You get touches of pineapple, passion fruit, plum, and strawberry. It’s very soft with fragrances of honey and hits your palette very smoothly. To me, it’s like the perfect summer afternoon wine that you can have with lunch with friends or even lounging by the pool. So of course, I had to purchase a few bottles for my trip home. I spent most of the day walking the property and just thinking about life and try to relax as much as possible. It’s funny, a afternoon stroll with a class of wine can do wonders to a girls mood. Sure did a number on me. XO
