{ Boost your Metabolism }

Not an intense meal or anything, but I found recently a good idea for boosting your metabolism. I hate plain water so this totally was right up my ally. In a pitcher of water add 1 apple sliced (of your choice) and 1 cinnamon stick. Let sit over night ... delicious and a very helpful tip! If you get bored with the apple you can also do half a lemon and 1/4 cucumber sliced in water, great for those hot summer's on the deck or post walk!

{ Wine Review IV: The Unsophisticated Wine Drinker }

It's been a little bit since I posted a wine review, even though I've been drinkin a lot anyways... so last night I made sure to review this one. 


Wine Review: Avalon Cabernet Sauvignon -Vintage 2009
Price: $10.99


Pros: I hadn't been drinking too much red wine lately (been really into champagne). BUT, the Loon had just made a delicious stuffed sirloin with asparagus, and figured that deserved a good decent red wine. and this one did not disappoint. The smell was light and fruity, and the taste was also fruity, I really noticed the hint of berries, and fairly dry. But I'm a pretty unsophisticated wine drinker... Also the 'alcohol' taste/ strength was not noticeable to taste, so very much a win in my book (remember unsophisticated).

Cons: maybe too dry? It boasted being aged in oak barrels for a few years, and neither the Loon nor I really got that flavor. 

 Overall: 85% - Totally would get this again (and pair it with red meat too). soo heart healthy, jk!

{ Need a Drink with your Spotify Playlists? }

Have you been rockin the new music player Spotify? It does sure beat the pants off of pandora with their (although no longer implemented) 40 hour listening limit. Also mizmargauxxx's fave 2Pz seems to do a really rockin playlist every friday, but aren't your listening parties missing something? I know mine were... luckily someone found what it was, DRINKIFY! What drink should you pair with those listening parties? Now you no longer need to think of what to drink, simiply enter your artist and drinkify will suggest the appropriate beverage for your current ear candy. Enjoy! {via}
