Want of the Day~September 16, 2011
I don’t drink soda anymore but I want to try this… Remember the final project from this past season of Celebrity Apprentice: The branding of 7Up Retro? Nothing like 70′s and 80′s styled cans! I love that 7Up Retro is made with real sugar…the way soda used to be made. I love how bottlers are going back to [...]

Want of the Day~September 6, 2011
It’s such a dreamy, breezy day in North Texas. I could really go for one of the special cocktails, Skinny Mojitos or Skinny Mint Lemonades made with VeeV, from the Simple, Summer…Fabulously Fall event. I really enjoyed the Skinny Mint Lemonade! (sorry my handbag is in the picture)

Wales Manor Vineyard was the first commercial vineyard in Collin County. Exclusively crafting Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve and Rose Wines, I am dying to try what they are squeezin’ in McKinney. I also love the idea of having live music event at the vineyard. Check out their upcoming event schedule.
One Cozy Wine Bar

My Favorite Little Coffee Shop
If you follow me on Twitter, you know that I check in to Saxbys Coffee a lot. I am a fan of the flavored coffee of the day rotation. They know when they hear “cafe au lait with your flavored coffee, sweetened” I am in the drive thru. Seasonally Saxbys Coffee offers special drinks not on their [...]

Cool, refreshing and just what we [...]
