Imagine a warm summer day and you’re sitting on the porch or deck with a few friends and you wish you had a refreshing summer cocktail to sip while hanging out. Never fear Claire is here to the rescue! Every now and then I like to take some outside classes, and a few I’ve attended are some mixology courses. Why not learn how to make something tasty from the experts?! At a recent class they were teaching the different types of drinks to make for hot summer nights. One of the drinks that caught my interest was one called “Afternoon Tea”. The mixologist teaching the course kept referring to it as a “Porch Pounder”. I didn’t really get it until I tasted it and then it all made sense. Basically, a porch pounder is a light and refreshing drink that can be enjoyed in high quantities…..not that you would, of… Read More

If you’ve seen my Instagram, you know that I went to Napa Valley earlier this month. I have to say that going to Napa with my husband was such an amazing trip for me. I went to Napa with a friend and it was fun, but I really wanted to experience it with my husband. Not only is Napa romantic, but it’s such a beautiful place to experience with someone you love…..and I learned so much. Many people think that going to Napa Valley is just about drinking lots of wine. Well, for some it is, but for us we loved learning about how wine was made and how each one is different, in addition to tasting many wines. It’s actually inspired me to take some classes in wine making. What I have to say next may make you sad…..going to Napa Valley on a tight budget is hard. Many of the… Read More

I don’t know about you guys, but summertime for me means shopping! I just feel like it’s the optimal time to freshen up your wardrobe and try to find some summer business casual outfits (and maybe throw in a fun summer outfit or two). Summer business casual outfits can be tricky because a staple work ensemble is composed of pants, a perfect blazer, and a cotton-based blouse. Even if you’re working indoors, that much layering does not sound comfortable. If you are looking to change up your wardrobe this summer season, you will want to incorporate light materials and ascending layers. So how can you do all that and remain looking like the professional, high-end, boss-lady that you are? Here are my summer business casual outfit ideas that you will need this season.

I love a good beach picnic, so I thought this would be the perfect time to share some of my tips on having a great beach picnic and my give you a list of my picnic essentials. My first memories of picnics were with my parents in Ghirardelli Square in San Francisco with some fresh sourdough and salami. My idea of a picnic has changed a bit since then, but it’s always about good people, good food and good drinks. I believe you can have a picnic almost anywhere, whether it’s on the roof of your home or apartment building, at a local park or my favorite, on the beach. I believe in doing some pre-planning before your beach picnic to make sure that you have the best experience. Here are my tips: Bring a Good Cooler There are many on the market some very expensive (I’m looking at you Yeti)… Read More

What are the Best Sunscreens of 2019? First I must start off with the fact that I am not a medical professional, but a concerned consumer and I like to educate myself on the best products to you for all occasions. In order to rank the best sunscreens of 2019 and all previous years, there are a three factors that I consider, how they rank on the Environmental Working Group’s Guide to Sunscreen, then how easily they fit into my lifestyle (do they have a white cast, are they super expensive, etc), then the final and most important part….will my family and I use them. Everyone who knows me, knows that I am serious about sunscreen. Why am I so serious? Both my great grandmother and mother were advocates for wearing sunscreen regularly. My mother had very fair skin and would burn very easily, while my great grandmother loved the sun, but… Read More
