Winc Wine brings the best wines right to your door with a special discount now just for my readers @usfg @winc #cheersdelivered




I consider myself a little bit of a wine connoisseur. I have lived abroad and many moons ago cut my teeth on a variety of good quality northern Italian wines. Well, my love affair with wine just expanded over the years and I learned more and came to enjoy a variety of wines from different areas of the world. I find my wines here and there locally and love to discover interesting new wineries and wines in the mid-Atlantic.  I heard about a new kind of exclusive wine club recently, something truly different that I thought was worth a try. It is a bit new to be buying wine online and to get a wine delivery service but I like the idea. This is a totally different kind of monthly wine club. I think you will forget those big internet newspaper branded wine clubs after you hear more. 

Winc Wine is not your traditional wine club: they are a direct-distribution global wine company that personalizes the entire wine experience from start to finish.  They are perfecting how wine is made, distributed, perceived and purchased via their special Palate Profile quiz. Here you get recommendations for wine based on your unique tastes and enjoyed on behalf of a new generation of wine drinkers. It takes the headache and guesswork out of picking a bottle from your local liquor store and saves you time. Winc even delivers the perfect bottles directly to your doorstep. They do all this as part of a quest to improve the experience for consumers, create a platform for artisanal wine making, and build a grape-to-glass supply chain that's sustainable for the planet. You can forget intimidating language and steep price points, and just enjoy in the act of sharing a bottle with friends, family or even someone special. As a result they find some exceptional, special and rare wines. I know...maybe I need to seriously consider a career change....

Winc Wine is definitely a different kind of Wine Club.  Winc Wine has several options available. You can start out with a special deal they have now for $22 Off Your First Month of Winc Wine - Winc offers 4 personalized wines each month. Bottles start at $13 each. New members can enjoy $22 off of their first month of Winc's monthly wine subscription right now! Check them out and give it a try. It is convenience and joy all rolled up in one.

CharcoCaps® are the solution to less boom in the room! #sponsored

Disclosure: I received this product to try for free.


I recently joined a fun community called The Upside to learn about new options to help keep my health the best. As a result, I have been given a chance to try one of DSE Healthcare's leading brands, CharcoCaps®. This is a brand that has been around for years. Activated Charcoal is a dietary supplement that can stop gas discomfort and embarrassment. That is important for everyone because we all want to feel good and especially feel confident in social situations like work and life in general! CharcoCaps® is the #1 Activated Charcoal brand too. 


The #1 Activated Charcoal Brand, CharcoCaps® helps you put less boom in the room, literally by using activated charcoal to trap toxins and help you manage gas, bloating, and flatulence.

I received a few things including the following to help me learn more about this great product that works quickly:


  • Sample of CharcoCaps®
  • Sharing Guide

I eat a super healthy diet with plenty of fresh vegetables. You always worry though. CharcoCaps® are easy to take and digest and take away the concern. My gut felt comfortable all day and I felt super confident. Sometimes you might worry in quiet situations like a serene yoga class but CharcoCaps® make you feel like you have no worries at all.

Cherish Vox Box and Influenster Experience #MomLifeVoxBox #sponsored #cherishvoxbox

Disclosure: I received free products to try and test from Influenster. 



I have always been the kind of person loves to try new things whether it is food, beauty or even new designers. It is a lot easier these days to discover novel brands and products with social networks and the internet and sites likes Influenster too. My friends often ask how they can get free products to sample.  If you’ve wondered that, too, consider joining Influenster. It’s free, informational, and fun!  You don’t have to be a blogger to join, either.  My #CherishVoxBox arrived this week, packed full with all kinds of goodies.


Everytime a VoxBox arrives, the first thing I want to do is take a peek at all the products inside.  I take pictures and a video of the entire box. I take some fun individual pictures too so I can share online. I check out the big card that comes with every box. I will try some of the edible items or smell a fragrance or product.   I saw the Pantene Foam Conditioner and was excited to see it was a Daily Moisture Renewal formula. I need something to help keep those frizzies at bay! I was able to try it since I first got my box and I really like it a lot. My daughter has been using it too and likes it as well.


My little Pumpkin quickly jumped onto the adorable Sydney's Salmon Nigiri sushi toy from BarkBox.  It has a little squeaky button and it is so soft so she can sit on it and look out the window. She loves anything soft so it is perfect for her. She would be so excited to get a little treat every month from Barkbox. 


Mott’s Sensibles Apple Raspberry juice was also tucked in there with a bonus coupon.  My daughter really liked this and I liked that it had less sugar and the flavors were natural. 

My hubby was happy to see a gift for him in there. He is a big fan of working out, biking, Ultimate Frisbee and running. Dove Men+Care Stain Defense Cool was there for him to try. It offers 48 hour protection which is good for both of us especially when he is working out hard or playing in the hot sun. It has a fresh scent and really works well.


A sample of Vera Wang Embrace was included. This is a lovely fragrance I would wear on special days. I enjoy the blend lavender and tuberose scents.


When you get a VoxBox, you need to share your thoughts and experience with the goodies. You can do this on a smarphone through the Influenster app or even on a laptop or other device.  These actions earn you points toward contest entries. I’ve won special prizes from brands through Influenster before, so it is exciting to share and see what others think and maybe you will get a surprise too. You can join in on the fun too...here is the Influenster site you can sign up right here and join Influenster too. See you online!
