Currently we are sharing notes on grandchildren. Whereas before our precious grands arrived, our conversations whirled around music, wine, men, wine, travel, wine, men, and of course music.
What’s so crazy is that now that we live on opposing coasts, we never miss a beat when we get together. We are headed to Napa for wine, The Blue Note for music and the city (San Francisco) for sushi and a rooftop bar.
We know each other so well, I can easily pick out what my BFF wants and what she needs. Cue Christina Aguilera…
Check our my curated list of the most fabulous gifts your girlfriend will love, appreciate and use. My girl loves the sun, so I would gift her with the best products for time outdoors.
She loves dewy skin, so a bomb skin tint, for a little color, SPF protection and moisture is perfect for her.
HOURGLASS Illusion Hyaluronic Skin Tint $56
This superior foundation employs advanced technology to promote the appearance of a smoother, firmer and more youthful complexion. Fortified with Hourglass’ Hyaluronan Complex, Illusion® plumps fine lines and wrinkles, tightens the appearance of sagging skin, and delivers an unbelievably luminous glow. UVA/UVB SPF 15 helps protect skin from the sun.
A kiss of color is to the cheeks is always is a must have to finish the face. Try one that you can pop on your lips.

Arlo is an elevated straw fedora. Its teardrop crown + stiff upturned brim feature handwoven venting for a breezy feel + textured look. Arlo includes a hand-sewn leather band that is easily layered with other accessories.
My best friend loves her home and she always has the most chill ambiance. I’m sure she would love a special scent wafting through the air.
Urthy Scents Gypsy Soul 12 oz Candle $34
The seductive tropical scents of fresh coconut milk and mango are drenched with pineapple, delightful peach and orange blossoms all sweetened with dark sugar to balance out this free-spirited scent.
Of course there has to be wine. Lot’s of wine. We were raised in Sonoma County wine country and we love a full-bodied red.
Balletto Vineyards 2020 BCD Vineyard Pinot Noir $58
The Balletto BCD Vineyard Pinot Noir is a wonderful example of their exceptional terroir and winemaking skills and delivers wave upon wave of Pinot pleasure. Bright and dark simultaneously, with mocha and earth aromas playing off fresh cherries. It has a wide and silky palate, booming aromas and just enough acidity and tannins to pull the wine through to a long and lasting finish.
