It’s #traveltuesday and I’m pretending I’m in sunny, southern Spain. This fountain was a lovely surprise, nestled in a small park in the heart of old Málaga, on the Mediterranean coast. Despite the summer heat, this little oasis was a breath of fresh air. Don’t you love stumbling onto an unexpected treasure when you travel? . . . #wanderlust #spain #andalucia #málaga #Mediterranean #urbanparks #fountain #travelblogger #europetravel #bienvenidos

Happy #EarthDay! And while you’re out saving the planet, don’t forget to protect the oceans. Join one of the beach clean-up days sponsored by @surfrider and get involved in local legislation to prevent drilling and dumping. We can each do something, right? . . . #ocean #ecofriendly #surfinglife #floridalife #savetheocean #green #conservation

April 17th is #MalbecWorldDay so here is a line-up of a few delicious #Malbec wines I’ve tasted over the past year. I was lucky to try a few from @achavalferrer in Argentina and one from @ordazwines in Sonoma (thanks to #winestudio) and received a few others (@bodegaamalaya and @bodegacolome) as samples. Wherever your Malbec comes from, it will have aromas and flavors of plum and cherry, and will have a silky texture that makes it a pleasure to drink. What will you open to celebrate Malbec’s special day? . . . #winelover #malbec #redwine #winestagram #mendoza #sonoma #quimera #winetasting #winemeup #wine #celebrate

When you’ve spent the morning cleaning the apartment and your husband comes home from his doctor’s appointment with a surprise. So thoughtful and kind - always makes me smile but today he brought tears to my eyes. #gratitude #worldsbesthusband

My heart hurts knowing that this beautiful cathedral is on fire. Desperately hoping some of it can be saved! #notredame #paris #landmark #history #holyweek

Spent all of Saturday learning about sparkling wines of the world with MW @gormanmcadams and my fellow #wsetdiploma students. Got a few tips on becoming a super-sleuth while blind tasting, and was reminded how much studying I need to do before June 12!
