Life isn’t all Diamonds and Rosé…but it Should Be

If anyone knows me, they know that there is one guilty pleasure that I cannot resist – Bravo’s reality TV shows, especially the Real Housewives. One of my favorite franchises is The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills because they are just so damn fabulous. Between Erika Jane’s gaggle of gays glam squad and Lisa Vanderpump’s…

From Cupcake Sister to Cupcake Rosé

While I was in college, my little sister and I had a cupcake company named “Cupcake Sisters.” We baked for clients, created web clips, and had a lot of laughs. Being 11 years apart in age, it was a nice way for us to bond and have something special between us. So when I saw…

Sloths & Wine
