When I was 19 years old (barely a legal adult and almost half a lifetime ago), I made the decision to undergo breast augmentation surgery. I was young, in a new relationship and there was a lot of pressure to be perfect. Oftentimes that meant changing things about your body, but it made me comfortable knowing so many other women had made the same choice. As far as I knew, the surgery was completely safe and with minimal side effects. It’s certainly a personal choice, but I am and always have been supportive of making decisions that are right for you, especially if they make you feel better about yourself (I honestly didn’t know what I had). Shortly after the surgery, I began experiencing notable but peculiar symptoms.

Since last Tuesday, I might have repeated it countless times, but the overwhelming sense of honor and gratitude still lingers within me. Being a part of something truly grand has left an indelible mark. As we delve into this week's "An Outfit and a Glass of Wine," I am dedicating it to one of my all-time favorite opportunities.

This is me kind of following a recipe but tailoring it to my family’s tastebuds.

Order today to receive before Christmas! A few wines that will definitely be at my table + some gift sets for those last minute shoppers. Go out with a bang!
