Flowers & wine

Posted in Ramblings on November 10, 2011

I know buying flowers and wine as a gift is usually reserved for guys, but I realized the other night that flowers and wine are some of my favorite ways to treat myself.

Flowers seriously brighten my day! I think they also help me keep the house clean and tidy. I guess it would seem unfortunate to have a dirty kitchen with flowers sitting in the middle. So, I like to treat myself every now and again with a small bouquet (usually only costing $5-7) of flowers when I’m Krogering.

My other treat is chocolate wine. Say what?! You read that right! Chocolate+wine=sinfully delicious!

My mom turned me onto this stuff and it seriously is so amazing. It’s pretty inexpensive at only $10 a bottle and you serve it chilled so it’s the perfect dessert drink when snuggled up on the couch unwinding from your day.

Do any of you buy flowers for yourself for no good reason? Have any of you ever tried chocolate wine?

I buy flowers all the time for myself. I love those discounted bundles at Kroger so I can spread a few all throughout the house. They may be discounted but they last at least 2 weeks! I must check out this chocolate wine!!

Once you get your hands on some you’ll have to let me know what you think! Prepare for yumminess-overload!

Totally! I’m always amazed at how long the simple bouquets last (a month once for me!).

Those flowers are so pretty! They would definitely brighten up dish washing duty. I can’t do wine because it’s a migraine trigger, but I’m happy as a clam splurging on real Coke.

Haha! Yep, whatever form I can get some sugar in me I’ll take it, even if it’s in the form of a coke (or better yet, root beer!).

I love ChocoVine! It is actually the only wine I will drink! And yes, I buy myself sunflowers and pink roses when they are on sale at the grocery store!
