One of the best thing about living in Oregon is the wine. The Willamette Valley wine is some of the best around. One of the fun ways to spend a May afternoon is going to The Great Oregon Wine Company. May is Oregon Wine Month. The perfect time to explore a variety of wines.

A little about The Great Oregon Wine Company…

Their wines are handcrafted and produced in small lots with attention to detail and minimal intervention along with vertical integration delivering hand crafted consistency in every bottle. They are one of the first commercially farmed vineyards in Oregon to remove the use of glyphosate (pesticide) in the farming process and have received the Clean Label Project Purity Award. As of May 2020, the winery is certified USDA organic. Each vintage provides the opportunity to celebrate the diversity of Willamette Valley farmers that share their organic and pesticide-free farming and environmental beliefs.

Here are a few of the brands that are featured:

  • Willamette Valley Pinot Noir – a smooth daily drinker.
  • La Chouette Pinot Gris – a reserve blend of their favorite lots from the La Chouette Vineyard from 2019. 
  • Coles Valley Vineyard Blanc de Noir – energetic and bubbly in the glass with a light golden hue.

My favorite is the La Chouette Pinot Gris – Is is Golden in color and has a clean tropical flavors, melon and lemon zest. It is always fun trying new. If you can’t visit The Great Oregon Wine Company you can always place an order HERE and have it delivered to your door. I am sure you will enjoy what ever your decide to try.

Zinda’s Moisture Rose Cuvée

I don’t know about you but I have kind of let myself go during the past year – not taking the best care of my skin. I am still furloughed from my job at BCD Travel and hoping every day I get called back. One thing I have decided I have to do is start taking care of myself better. I have started doing my skin care routine again and that includes using moisture.

I started using Zinda’s Moisture Rose Cuvée both in the morning and at night. One of my favorite things about this thick cream is that it is made in small batches, is plant-based, and they use vine-sourced ingredients. Zinda Beauty’s cruelty-free Moisture Rose Cuvée delivers the skin-enhancing properties of Resveratrol and other natural ingredients including Apricot, Rose Hip, and Evening Primrose which are found in and about vineyards. Zinda Beauty’s debut luxurious cream helps soothe, moisturize and hydrate the skin through intense moisture infusion.

The benefits of Zinda’s Moisture Rose Cuvée include:

  • Resveratrol, a powerful antioxidant that protects skin against environmental stressors and free radicals, while smoothing wrinkles, nourishing and redefining skin in a single step. The signs of aging look less noticeable and the skin appears more youthful.
  • Apricot Oil is obtained from the dried seeds of the fruit. Skin-softening effects are attributed to the high concentration of Vitamin C. This oil can treat a variety of skin conditions without making your skin oily and the antioxidants in the apricot slow the aging process.
  • The combination of properties in Rose Hip Oil has been shown to combat the appearance of skin damage. The antioxidants target damage-causing free radicals; and, Vitamin A, combined with the oil’s essential anti-inflammatory fatty acids helps improve skin tone, texture and pigmentation. Rose Hip Oil also hydrates, helps to exfoliate and brighten skin, aids in boosting collagen formation, assists in protecting against sun damage and contributes toward reducing hyperpigmentation.
  • Evening Primrose Oil is known to be a great moisturizer. Not only does it make the skin soft, but it also supplies it with essential nutrients and healthy fats, making your skin look youthful and supple.

I like how thick Zinda is and how my skin just soaks up the lotion making my face soft, refreshed, vibrant, and supple skin. If you would like to purchase your own Zinda’s Moisture Rose Cuvée You can do so HERE.

I love using face mask to help keep my face looking clear and fresh. Recently I was sent this sheet mask called The AfterMask – made to use after wearing a face mask all day. It helps deep clean your skin from dirt and toxins. It has no fragrance or harsh chemicals. Say good-bye to pesky pimples from wearing our protective masks all day. Highlight ingredients include Green Tea Leaf, Bambusa Vulgaris Leaf, Burdock Root, Camomilla, Witch Hazel, Hyaluronic Acid, Aloe Leaf, and Cucumber. These elements work together for the perfect treatment to fight mask-ne and soothe dry skin.  

It was so easy to use. You just wash your face, carefully apply to your lower face where your face mask was, leave on for 20-30 minutes while you relax. Then peel it off and massage any remaining solution into your skin. My face felt soft and smooth after using it. If you would like to try them for your self – go here to purchase them.
