When in Napa…

Until last month I had actually never been to Napa despite growing up in California. To tell you the truth, I wasn’t sure if Napa was north, south, east, or west of San Francisco. Okay, I knew it wasn’t west of San Francisco otherwise it’d be in the ocean. Well, now after spending a week in Napa with the lovely model and vintner, Michele Ouellet (who grew up there!), I feel like I have a pretty good grasp on Napa, and a little town within Napa called Yountville. With the immense help of Michele we were able to put together a weekend guide to Napa and Yountville.

A Beauty Minute with April Gargiulo

April Gargiulo is the founder of the skincare brand Vintner’s Daughter. Launched with just a single product, the Active Botanical Serum, they spawned a following that can only be described as cultish. Recently (after years of development) they launched their second product, an Active Treatment Essence. While we were in San Francisco last month, we caught up with April to ask her a few questions about her style and her beauty routine!
