Foodies Love Friday - The Inn at Little Washington

I love being in love, don't you? I'm one of those crazy people that believe that there is a direct correlation between love and food; but then again I also think there is a correlation between food and fashion but that's another story for another day. Anyway, once upon a time when I was in love, I was taken to a place in Washington, VA that was so special, just the mere mention of this place, to this day, brings a tear to my eye. The Inn has a reputation that precedes itself and you have to shonuff shonuff be someone that is worthy of the expense. Expensive? You betcha! But boy just thinking about it makes the little baby hair on the back of my neck stand and salute! "We both love food and tonight, I wanted to use our love of food to show you how much I love you," he said. When I realized where he had taken me I asked, "Can you afford this? Can we afford this?" "You can never put a price tag on love." And while that may be true, it was quite a few weeks before we went out again. That night a memory was made and later, he was thanked WELL!!!!

Wellness support in numbers...

No matter what we experience in our lives, there is always someone else who has experienced the same thing. Whether one is coping with grief, medical conditions, addictions, or behaviors there is a familiar word called support that is designed to help you address the needs of you.

Support groups are a place for people to give and receive both emotional and practical support as well as to exchange information. The groups are a valuable resource — a place where people can share information, get confirmation, educate others, or just let off steam.

In addressing wellness needs, there are times when a support group can assist with healing. In searching for a support group it is important to remember that if the group does not feel right to you or does not match your needs, try a different group as there are many options available.

In addition, you can always start you own support group. Creatively name it, decide upon a meeting location, identify a target population, get the word out, and build upon the natural relationships that the group can bring.

Live well Glami’s!

As I am approaching this wonderful age of "30," I can't help, but to reflect on that wonderful year I was born (1980) which then takes me to the eighties altogether. I must say that the "80's" are where it was AT! And yes I said AT, LOL...

That was the time when music was cool
-Cyndi Lauper
-Tears for Fears
-Cool and the Gang
-The Jets
-Tracey Spencer
-Madonna
-Boi George

If you have not seen or heard of any of these you were DEPRIVED, seriously! So, with that said here is to all my 80's GLAMI BABIES, it was truly a great time to be BORN!!!!!

Until next week, stay Glamiful...

Cosmopolitan and Sex And the City

Love it or hate it, Sex and the City has set trends for fashionistas around the globe. From the iconic fashions featured in the movie, to our new found love for New York City itself, Sex and the City has introduced the masses to everything from Manolos to the now infamous cosmopolitan.

If ever there was a glam libation- the Cosmo is it!

Here’s the recipe for this oh so glamorous drink:

Cosmopolitan
• 1½ shots citrus vodka
• ½ shot Cointreau
• ¾ shot cranberry juice
• ½ shot lime juice
• 2 dashes orange bitters
• Shake all ingredients well with ice and fine strain in to a cocktail glass. Garnish with a flamed orange zest.

Sommelier- A Wine Snob’s Dream Job!

If you have not figured it out by now, the Glami’s are all about good food, and good drink! We love a perfect glass of wine to compliment an evening meal, or just to wind down from a day of being fabulous.

With our wine passion comes our knowledge of all things wine related, so today we’re educating you on the role of a Sommelier.

Definition- a sommelier’s role is chiefly to procure the wines for a restaurant in addition to developing the wine lists. Today’s sommeliers are also very engaged with the restaurant patrons, and are well-versed in food/wine pairings, in addition to making recommendations on everything on the menu from beer, spirits, and in some establishments offering suggestions on what tobacco will compliment the meal.

Education- Although pretty much anyone can consider themselves to be a sommelier, there is training that goes along with the job. A basic training in all things wine can last up to 6 months, and comes with a certificate that was developed in conjunction with the Vintners Company, The Institute of Masters of Wine, The British Hotels & Restaurants Association, The Wine & Spirit Association of Great Britain and The Wholesale Tobacco Trade Association
