WSJWine is a Good Value

by +Tricia on May 8, 2012

Last month I ordered the WSJ Wine Club from the Wall Street Journal. I had been hearing a lot of people talk about it and wanted to see for myself if it lived up to the hype. Rather than write about it, I decided to show you exactly what I received in my package.

WSJ Wine Club

WSJ Wine Club Review

I paid $69.99 plus about $20 in shipping and handling for the case. That made the price per bottle less than $6, which definitely is not bad. In fact, that’s lower than what I usually pay for my wine. For party wine or a regular Saturday night, I usually stick with the $6-10 range depending upon what is on sale.

The free corkscrew set that WSJ valued at $49.99 is really nice. It comes in a wooden box and has a number of other wine accessories with it. I would have paid about $40 just for that. The notebook for keeping tasting notes was also nicer than the last wine club that I received tasting notes from.

I ordered a mixed case of half white wine and half red wine. I started with a bottle of the red last night and my husband and I both agreed that it was pretty good. Will I keep the club after this case or cancel before the next quarter? That probably depends upon what other wine clubs I find between now and then. The good news is that I can cancel without any penalty.

5 Reasons I Love Zumba

by +Tricia on April 23, 2012

All of my friends know that I am addicted to Zumba. The ones who go with me are all addicted, too. The ones who have never been cannot understand why I love it so much. I don’t think that there is any one reason, but it is really a combination of things. Zumba came at the right time for me in both my goals of socialization and getting fit. Here are the top five reasons why I love it.

  • The music. Who knew how much I would love hip hop and Latin music? It’s totally opened up my eyes…or….ears…
  • The friends. I get to hang out with my friends for an hour two nights a week and know that I am doing something great for my body.
  • The calorie burn. Between 800 and 1000 calories an hour. That’s as much as I burn in a run and way more than I burn in a walk.
  • The dancing. I love to dance but only ever get the chance at wedding receptions and Affiliate Summit parties. Now I get to dance twice a week.
  • Staying with it. Unlike pretty much any exercise I have ever tried, I have been able to stick with Zumba consistently for over 2 years. That’s a really big deal to me. And I have no thoughts of stopping anytime soon.

Have you tried Zumba? If so, what do you like about it? If not, what is keeping you from it?

March 27, 2012

Last night at Zumba some of my friends were talking about books that they have been hearing a lot about lately. Knowing that I am an avid reader, they asked if I had heard of “Fifty Shades of Gray,” which I actually learned later is spelled “Grey.” At any rate, I had not so I [...]
