World’s Best Non-Alcoholic Wines for the Holidays

Let’s go straight to number One. ARIEL is more than mere grape juice! Simply put, non-alcoholic wine is wine, that has had the alcohol removed. Being around wine professionals for years watching traditional winemaking methods, wine is not foreign to me. The art of wine amazes me and after the juice is fermented, dealcoholized wine skips one step but for people who are interested in keeping it sober as a lifestyle or for around the holidays this is a necessary step in dealcoholized wine-making is to remove the alcohol in the final stages using cold filtration process. This allows people to enjoy the pleasure of a fermented beverage, but without the alcohol.

ARIEL Wines use premium, California-grown wine grapes. They have great spirit and are committed to making the highest quality, best-tasting non-alcoholic wine available in the market today. That said, ARIEL does not taste the same as wines containing alcohol, so it will not satisfy all palates. While ARIEL is made in a similar manner to regular wines, and if you are transitioning to non-alcoholic wines after being accustomed to drinking traditional wines, it may take a few ARIEL experiences before you get used to its lightness. However, this taste to that of traditional wines with alcohol is lighter, smoother and very enjoyable to drink.

whitewine2Everybody’s situation is different. You make your own decisions but people who are in recovery and who had to cut off drinking all together including their social life just to survive the difficulties of maintaing a sober lifestyle can benefit from this non-alcoholic wine experience. I highly recommend being sturdy and strong in recovery before pursuing drinking non-alcoholic wine. At least two to three-year sober and onwards. It brings back a sense of fun into your social life during holiday gatherings. This wine meets the legal definition of a non-alcoholic beverage, which states that the product must contain less than half of one percent alcohol (<0.5%). Believe it or not, ARIEL dealcoholized wines contain even less alcohol than most orange juices!

Anyways, finding this has been a treasure for holiday festivities and coming from a world traveler who has experienced every single wine from every country around the world, (personally could have been a professional somenier) that ARIEL is the only non-alcoholic wine in history to win a gold medal in a competition against wines with alcohol! It is recognized by 17 countries worldwide as the leader in producing the best-tasting, highest-quality non-alcoholic wines. It is true. The wine grapes for ARIEL Cabernet Sauvignon and Chardonnay are grown in the most storied estate vineyard on California’s Central Coast, this is key to why their wines turn out rich in flavor. So if you are looking for a tasty dealcoholized Cabernet or Chardonnay my hat goes off to these two.

Second to ARIEL is Eisberg Alcohol Free Rose Wine  This wine is harvested and processed in the normal way, and the alcohol is removed at the end. It does have 0.05% alcohol in the wine by the end of the process, but that amount in a bottle of wine is negligible. This Rose wine is perfect for the day  and can be paired with light meals, refreshing salads, or, some spicy foods, with a sweet rose and strawberry flavor and a hint of cherry. Yum!

Third is a charm and next on our list is FRE wines. This wine is great if you’re looking to go organic with your wine as well as your groceries. It’s made specially sourced white grapes from Bordeaux. Half Sauvignon Blanc. It’s fresh, tangy, and dry white wine that’s great as an aperitif, and accompanies seafood and desserts best. Fre wines are excellent for making celebrations extra special all year-long!

These are our top three choices, but there are plenty more non-alcoholic wines out there. You will find a glass that will suit you and your tastes exactly.

Intuition During the Holidays

Intuition is always with us, it is part of our human nature and mind. Working with your intuition and continually practicing using it will strengthen your ability to engage it when you need it.

Sometimes the holidays take us away from our usual routine, which is a good thing, it keeps our minds on our toes with the opportunity to experience something new. Just enjoying your physical senses, seeing, feeling, and hearing the holiday sights, and sounds without any thoughts or judgment exercises your awareness of your intuitive side. See what it recalls in you. This is how intuition comes to us, it pops up and is plain without criticism and just presents itself as it is. You may also enjoy yourself more to take this mini break from the hustle and rush of the holiday season.

You can also use holiday get-togethers to intuitively connect to someone. Take the time when conversing with friends for the family to receive not only what you hear when they speak, but what you feel and sense. Allow yourself to be the witness, the observer, and pay attention to yourself as the listener. You may be surprised at what pops up inside you when you are just present during the conversation and tuned in. This allows you to absorb so much more of what someone is sharing with you beyond their words.

When you’re shopping for a gift during the holidays you can use your intuition to help you choose the best one. Sometimes you may not be sure of what someone would like if you don’t know them well, or you know them too well it may be challenging to know that perfect gift. Here’s how you can use your intuition to help. Say you’re in the store and shopping for a clothing accessory for a friend but you’re not quite sure which color or style they would like. Among the choices in front of you, imagine your friend wearing each one and ask your intuition in your mind which one, choose the good-feeling ones, and use your eyes and your heart.

There are so many wonderful holiday displays, pictures, photographs, and sights that are a feast for your eyes. When you look pay attention to how it makes your heart sing or stir up some wonderful emotions. It’s a great intuition exercise! This all allows your intuition mind to give you impressions. You’ll probably intuitively discover things you didn’t realize before!

Enjoying the holidays is a fun way to exercise your intuition.

Holiday Hot Chocolate Bar Set Up Ideas

Invite guests to come in and warm-up with a decadent hot chocolate. Whether you’re hosting an after-dinner event or a catch-up with friends, hot chocolate bars are always a great idea!

Here’s how to set up the perfect hot chocolate bar:

1. Gather your ingredients: The star of the show is, of course, hot chocolate. Make it from scratch using cocoa powder, sugar, milk, and a dash of salt. If you’re tight on time, store-bought packets work just fine. Just be sure to have plenty to go around!

2. Variations of hot chocolate: Offering a variety of flavors adds a fun twist. Consider white chocolate, dark chocolate, or mint chocolate. If you want to go the extra mile, consider adding specialty flavored syrups or a mocha option.

3. The add-ins: This is where your guests can get creative. Mini marshmallows, whipped cream, chocolate shavings, crushed candy canes, flavored creamers, and spices like cinnamon and nutmeg can all add unique twists to a classic hot chocolate.

4. The adult options: For an evening gathering, you may want to include adult add-ins like Baileys, Kahlua, or peppermint schnapps.

5. The mugs: While paper cups work just fine, a variety of mugs can add character and style to your hot chocolate bar. You can stick with a theme, mix and match, or ask guests to bring their favorite mug.

6. Keep it hot: Invest in a couple of insulated carafes to keep your hot chocolate warm throughout the party.

7. The decorations: Consider a winter wonderland theme with snowflakes and pinecones or go classic with a cocoa and cream color scheme. Either way, make your hot chocolate bar as visually appealing as it is delicious.

8. Don’t forget the sides: What’s hot chocolate without cookies or brownies on the side? Whip up some sweet treats or ask guests to bring a dish to share.

Lastly, remember the most important ingredient – good company! The fun is in the camaraderie, so invite a great mix of people and enjoy your warm, sweet event. Cheers to a delicious and cozy hot chocolate bar party!

Infinite Blessings,

Kelly 🙂

Full Moon Lunar Eclipse

As the Taurus Full Moon Lunar Eclipse approaches on October 28, 2023, the energy around us starts to shift. We are in Scorpio season now and can feel our emotions are stirred. The veil that separates us from our deepest desires is lifted, and we see things that were previously hidden from us.

The key messages of this Eclipse urge us to cast our minds back to November 2021. What were the themes and situations we were dealing with then? It is highly likely that those issues have come full circle and have now reached a culmination point. This Eclipse marks the end of a cycle, and we are urged to shed the layers that have been holding us back and step into more of our authentic selves. As we take this leap, we reach a new chapter of our soul’s evolution.

Endings are powerful during this Eclipse, and we are encouraged to take action on something we wish to bring to a close. We must trust the process, embrace the changes, and step into our power with grace and courage. This Taurus Full Moon Lunar Eclipse marks a pivotal moment in our journey, a moment that will help us grow, evolve, and reach new heights of consciousness. It is a time of transformation and new beginnings, and we must approach it with an open heart, a clear mind, and a strong spirit. The Eclipse may shake us, but it is also an opportunity for us to rise and shine!

Happy Full Moon Infinite Blessings,

Mercury turns Direct

As the world keeps turning, it’s important to pause and celebrate the momentous occasion of Mercury stationing direct. I do like Mercury retrograde for when you would need to “re” evaluate, “re” visit, “re” generate, “re”turn, “re”treat and so on.. it helps us in a mysterious way.

Although, for weeks, we’ve been wading through a sea of introspection as Venus and Mercury did their cosmic backspins. But now, with the planets starting to move forward once again, we can start to regain our footing. Of course, we’re not out of the woods just yet – those outer planets are still retrograde, and there’s plenty of turbulence in the cosmos to go around. But you don’t have to let that hold you back! This is your chance to tap into your inner power, to connect with your truest self and start living the life you’ve always wanted.

All that soul-searching you’ve been doing lately? It’s not for nothing. Those deep introspective dives have helped you clarify your intentions and get a better understanding of your purpose. And now that the energy is starting to pick up, you’ll be able to put all that newfound clarity into action. Sure, there may be some bumpy patches ahead – but you can face them head-on. As long as you stay true to yourself, and stay committed to your goals, you’ll be able to thrive in the months ahead. So raise a glass, take a deep breath, and let’s get ready to take on whatever the universe has in store!

Peace and Love,

Kelly

Strawberry Full Moon in Sagittarius

Happy Strawberry Full Moon in Sagittarius!! This weekend June 3rd 2023.

Full moons take place when the moon is in the opposite zodiac sign from the sun. Which means the full moon is in Sagittarius when it is in Gemini season!

Who else has a moon in Sagittarius? I’m vibing with the Strawberry moon as this moon in Sag girl is always looking for the next adventure!

This Full moon will amplify this Sagittarius energy and encourages a sense of surrender, release and letting go with grace. When we align with the natural rhythms of life, we allow ourselves to feel the eternal oneness, ground ourselves in the present moment and truly enjoy life’s magic!

Jupiter Enters TAURUS

Jupiter activates a brand new 12-year Cycle by moving into Taurus! Jupiter enters Taurus today until 5/25/2024. You can & will improve your Relationships & Finances, while initiating a whole NEW Truth, Story & Belief System rooted in better values, different priorities, new definitions of security and a completely new sense of self-worth & self-value. 12-years could be too much to fathom so I would encourage to think in terms of 3-year increments. The Trinity energy is very powerful and when working with Jupiter, you are being shown to an expanded awareness of a Larger Truth, of which we all are an integral part. It is vital to work with this energy when you are consciously co-creating your personal code and the Truth & Story of your own life.

This energy is going to encourage us to improve our environment, beautify ourselves and create something valuable & long-lasting. It is time to fully embody and truly express your new values by making new choices & different decisions. It is time to assess your relationships & resources and see where you can improve them. There will be a tremendous focus on your own magnetics what you naturally attract and what you naturally fight off with your own energy field, something else we can consciously improve with Jupiter here for a whole year. Determination, patience & consistency is going to be needed to bring your renewed & expanded vision to life. Whatever you’re creating inside or out must be sustainable, practical and, ultimately, valuable.

Taurus is generally related to our basic, fundamental needs which is all very personal & subjective. But these aspects of life are also deeply rooted in our intrinsic self-worth, personal self-love & natural self-value. You must believe that your body is worthy of quality nutrients, your soul is worthy of intimacy and that you are fully capable of manifesting the money to function, prosper and thrive. Take a class if you desire to learn about investing, finance, & generational wealth while considering long-term investments this year. This is a time to deepen your connection to Mother Earth, Nature & being grounded in your true Self. Spending time in Nature helps you to remember your purpose and heal your soul.

This is the time of year to renew your commitment and dedication to living the life you feel most worthy of. Give appreciation for all. It is great to reflect on what deeply supports who you are, here & now.

Gratitude unlocks energy and connects you to new resources. So use this transition into Jupiter Taurus and also the upcoming New Moon in Taurus to plant the seeds of well-being and abundance in your garden this year.
