    Summer, Sun, and Sangria

    Red, white, or rosé, there's a sangria recipe for everybody!

    There’s nothing more beautiful than a freshly made pitcher of sangria. Made with a mixture of your favorite wines and fruits, this delightful punch-like cocktail is perfect for a warm summer day, a baby shower, or a casual night out with friends. Luckily for us, this drink isn’t a trend we have to worry about passing us by. Sangria—which comes from the Spanish word sangre, meaning blood—traces back 2,000 years ago to the Romans crossing into Spain and planting vineyards as they traveled. In order to safely drink the water, they would add alcohol to kill off bacteria. The earliest forms of sangria were most likely just watered-down wine combined with herbs and spices.

    Thankfully, Sangria has had a bit of a glow up over the centuries.


    From its roots in Spain, sangria first became popular in America when it was introduced at the 1964 World Fair in New York. Americans were quick to jump on board and welcome this new, flavorful beverage and as popularity grew, so did the variety. These days, we can easily find pre-made red, white, and sparkling sangrias on the liquor store shelves. However, everyone knows that if you want something done right, you have to do it yourself. This is precisely why we’ve compiled a list of some of our favorite sangria recipes for you to try out for your next event… or random Tuesday afternoon.

    1 bottle dry white wine such as sauvignon blanc
    1 750 ml bottle sparkling rosé

Add the strawberries, blackberries, and raspberries, toss to combine, then add the white grape juice and white wine. Refrigerate for 2 to 8 hours.
    2) Just before serving add the sparkling rosé and basil. Serve in pretty glasses, such as these generously sized wine glasses, making sure some berries and basil get into each glass.

    • by

    Just because summer is ending doesn’t mean the fun has to!

    From long days in the sun to warm starry nights, there’s just something magical about summer. As the days fly by and fall approaches, we have to squeeze in as many summertime activities as we can before bathing suits and iced coffee are replaced with sweaters and pumpkin spice lattes. Whether you’re hanging with your friends, spending quality time with your kids, or both, we’re creating a list in order for you to milk every last drop of joy out of summer. From picnics in the park to weekend getaways, we guarantee you’ll be busy until September 22.

    Iconic End of Summer Fun!

    1. Go to an amusement park

    With record heat levels all across the country, waiting until the end of the summer to venture to your local amusement park might make your visit more enjoyable. Ride all of the rides and let your inner child run the show.

    2. Throw an end-of-summer bash

    Before the kids go back to school and the sun sets earlier, invite your friends and loved ones over for one last party. Roast s’mores, jump in the pool, or even have a game night. Need party ideas? We have the perfect guide right HERE!

    3. Go for a Hike

    Move your body and clear your mind. Indulge in the beauty nature has to offer by disconnecting for an afternoon and going for a hike. Pack a lunch and enjoy a picnic with a view, your mental and physical health will thank you!

    4. Read a new book

    Spend a final lazy day in your bed or take a trip to your favorite coffee shop and read a new book. If you haven’t been able to get away this summer, let your mind drift as you read the pages and wander to a faraway world. If you need any book suggestions, check out this summer reads guide.

    5. Go to a drive-in movie

    Nothing says summer like getting in the car and going to a drive-in theater. Bring dinner with you or buy it there and watch the latest Hollywood blockbuster like it’s the summer of 1965!

    6.Take a Staycation

    To put it mildly, traveling by plane in 2022 has been completely unhinged. Before this summer ends, skip the airport and explore your own backyard. Find a nearby town you’ve yet to visit and spend a day (or two) sightseeing local attractions. 

    7. Go to a Concert

    Whether you love pop, country, or rap, live music just does something for the soul. From music festivals to outdoor amphitheaters to a local park, spending time soaking up the sun and good vibes of the rhythm around you makes for the perfect day. 

    8. Try a new Recipe and Dine Al Fresco

    Put that Pinterest board to use and test out your culinary skills! You can bake a cake or even plan a full menu to enjoy before enjoying the fruits of your labor outside and beneath the stars. Just don’t forget your glass of wine!

    9. Record a Podcast

    Maybe you’re a devout podcast listener and have been considering starting one of your own for a while now. Why wait any longer? The beauty of podcasts is that you have the ability to record from your phone and broadcast it to the world. Take a chance and share your voice, we need to hear it.

    9. Have a Craft Day

    As summer winds down, often anxiety levels rise. Spending time crafting is an active way to combat anxiety and depression. Explore different types of crafting, be it cake decorating, photography, knitting, or making jewelry, so that when fall hits and the sun goes into hiding, you’re armed and equipped to make even the gloomiest day feel bright and sunny.

    —-

    Just because summer is ending doesn’t mean the fun has to. No matter the season, we want you to live every day to the fullest and find joy in everything you do. Invite your friends along or enjoy these activities with some much-needed peace and quiet. Either way, we know you’ll spend the remaining summer days being totally and completely Iconic.

    5 Books to Begin Your Manifestation Journey

    • Comments Off on 5 Books to Begin Your Manifestation Journey
    • by

    It seems like everywhere you look, someone else is spouting off the magical powers of the Universe and manifesting the life of your dreams. The basic meaning of manifestation is to create something or turn something from an idea into a reality. It’s giving into the power of your mind and allowing you ownership and control over your reality. For every person who thinks it’s magical nonsense, you’ll find someone else who trusts it implicitly. The polarity of opinions can make the thought of beginning a manifestation practice of your own both appealing and overwhelming, but we have great news for you, Beauty! Learning about manifestation can be as easy as picking a book off of a list. 

    No, seriously. 

    In order to help you harness the power we know is inside of you, we’ve gathered five of our favorite books on manifestation. Whether you want to learn about the laws of the universe or connect more deeply to spirituality and your authentic self, we have a read for you. It doesn’t matter if you read one or all five, inspiration lingers on every single page.

    5 Iconic Manifestation Books

    1. The Secret by Rhonda Byrne

    In 2006, a groundbreaking feature-length film revealed the great mystery of the universe—The Secret—and, later that year, Rhonda Byrne followed with a book that became a worldwide bestseller.

    Fragments of a Great Secret have been found in the oral traditions, in literature, in religions and philosophies throughout the centuries. For the first time, all the pieces of The Secret come together in an incredible revelation that will be life-transforming for all who experience it.

    In this book, you’ll learn how to use The Secret in every aspect of your life—money, health, relationships, happiness, and in every interaction you have in the world. You’ll begin to understand the hidden, untapped power that’s within you, and this revelation can bring joy to every aspect of your life.

    The Secret contains wisdom from modern-day teachers—men and women who have used it to achieve health, wealth, and happiness. By applying the knowledge of The Secret, they bring to light compelling stories of eradicating disease, acquiring massive wealth, overcoming obstacles, and achieving what many would regard as impossible.

    2. Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill

    This book contains money-making secrets that can change your life.

    Think and Grow Rich, based on the author’s famed Law of Success, represents the distilled wisdom of distinguished men of great wealth and achievement. 

    Andrew Carnegie’s magic formula for success was the direct inspiration for this book. Carnegie demonstrated its soundness when his coaching brought fortunes to those young men to whom he had disclosed his secret.

    This book will teach you that secret—and the secrets of other great men like him. It will show you not only what to do but also how to do it. If you learn and apply the simple basic techniques revealed here, you will have mastered the secret of true and lasting success—and you may have whatever you want in life!

    3. The Power of Now: A Guide to Spiritual Enlightenment by Eckhart Tolle

    To make the journey into The Power of Now you need to leave your analytical mind and its false created self, the ego, behind. Access to the Now is everywhere – in the body, the silence, and the space all around you. These are the keys to enter a state of inner peace. They can be used to bring you into the Now, the present moment, where problems do not exist. It is here you find your joy and are able to embrace your true self. It is here you discover that you are already complete and perfect. 

    Although the journey is challenging, Eckhart Tolle offers simple language in a question and answer format. The words themselves are the signposts to guide you on your journey. There are new discoveries to be made along the way: you are not your mind, you can find your way out of psychological pain, authentic human power is found by surrendering to the Now. When you become fully present and accepting of what is, you open yourself to the transforming experience of The Power of Now.

    4. Super Attractor: Methods for Manifesting a Life Beyond Your Wildest Dreams by Gabrielle Bernstein 

    In Super Attractor, Gabrielle Bernstein lays out the essential steps for living in alignment with the Universe–more fully than you’ve ever done before. “I’ve always known that there is a nonphysical presence beyond my visible sight,” Gabby writes. “All my life I’ve intuitively tuned in to it and used it as a source for good. . . . What we call it is irrelevant. Connecting to it is imperative.” Super Attractor is a manifesto for making that connection and marrying your spiritual life with your day-to-day experience. In these pages, you’ll learn to:

    * Move beyond dabbling in your practice, when it’s convenient, to living a spiritual life all the time

    * Take practical steps to create a life filled with purpose, happiness, and freedom

    * Feel a sense of awe each day as you witness miracles unfold

    * Release the past and live without fear of the future

    * Tap into the infinite source of abundance, joy, and well-being that is your birthright

    * Bring more light to your own life and the world around you

    This book is a journey of remembering where your true power lies. You’ll learn how to co-create the life you want. You’ll accept that life can flow, that attracting is fun, and that you don’t have to work so hard to get what you want. Most important, you’ll feel good. And when you feel good, you’ll give off a presence of joy that can elevate everyone around you. After reading this book, you will know how to fulfill your function: to be a force of love in the world.

    5. The Book of Secrets: Unlocking the Hidden Dimensions of Your Life by Deepak Chopra

    We all want to know how to find a soul mate, what career would be most fulfilling, how to live a life with meaning, and how to teach our children well. We are looking for a personal breakthrough, a turning point, a revelation that brings with it new meaning. The Book of Secrets—a crystalline distillation of insights and wisdom accumulated over the lifetime of one of the great spiritual thinkers of our time—provides an exquisite new tool for achieving just that.

    Every life is a book of secrets, ready to be opened. The secret of perfect love is found there, along with the secrets of healing, compassion, faith, and the most elusive one of all: who we really are. We are still mysteries to ourselves, despite the proximity of these answers, and what we most long to know remains lodged deep inside. 

    Because answers to the questions at the center of life are counterintuitive, they are often hidden from view, sequestered from our everyday gaze. In his ongoing quest to elevate our experience, bestselling author Deepak Chopra has isolated fifteen secrets that drive the narrative of this inspiring book—and of our lives. From “The World Is in You” and “What You Seek, You Already Are” to “Evil Is Not Your Enemy” and “You Are Truly Free When You Are Not a Person,” The Book of Secrets is rich with insights. It is a priceless treasure that can transport us beyond change to transformation, and from there to a sacred place where we can savor the nectar of enlightenment.

    Although manifestation can feel like the buzzword of the season, when done right it can change your life. By simply opening your mind and being honest with yourself about the person you’re meant to be and the life you should live–not what or who society tells you to be–you’re beginning the manifestation process. When you make the radical decision to love and trust yourself, you attract the life you are destined to live. Remember, good vibes go a long way in matters of the Universe, so trust yourself and manifest your most Iconic life!

    Eat, Drink, and Flamingle!

    • Comments Off on Eat, Drink, and Flamingle!
    • by

    Iconic Wine Beauties was founded to create a sisterhood where we could sip wine and chase our dreams. Building a community of like-minded women who cheer–and cheers–each other on is at the forefront of IWB. After two years of virtual book clubs, classes, and happy hours, the sun is out and so are we! At Iconic Wine Beauties, the only things we love as much as a great glass of wine is a sparkle, party, and theme. In order to connect with your local girl gang, we’re sharing our favorite tips to throw a summer flamingle that keeps your guest’s glasses full and their hearts even fuller.

    7 Ideas for Your Summer Party!

    Embrace the theme

    With the theme in the name, Flamingles are perfect for your summertime party! Load up on the bright pink birds and go crazy. Flamingos are already a staple of summer decor, so finding fun party decorations can be easy and affordable. Fill your lawn with plastic flamingos or use a flamingo pool to keep drinks—or kiddos—nice and cool! The sky is the limit. Lose yourself in the endless hot pink possibilities. If buying decorations isn’t in the cards for you, tap into your inner Martha Stewart with these DIY tissue paper flamingos.

    Curate the guest list 

    While it may feel comfortable to keep your life compartmentalized, by bringing together friends from different aspects of your life, you’re actually creating new friendships and deepening old ones. Now, we aren’t suggesting you invite your boss over for beer pong, but by extending an invite to your work bestie, you’re allowing the relationships in your life to blossom. This is a flamingle after all, gather and grow your network.

    Choose a signature cocktail

    Would it really be an Iconic Wine Beauties party without a signature cocktail? Chose one of our favorite Rosé recipes or experiment on your own. Want to take it to the next level, serve them in flamingo cups your guests can take home and enjoy for a great party favor. Also, remember to always have non-alcoholic options on hand for our friends who chose to abstain. This non-alcoholic Pink Lady Punch is both festive and delicious!

    Be thoughtful

    Let’s be honest, it’s always the little details that matter the most. Set aside time to create a basket filled with bug sprays, sunscreens, and anything else to keep your guests burn and bug-bite-free. Ensuring that your friends and family are comfortable by providing these small gestures is sure to be something they don’t forget.

    Let your inner child shine

     Bring back summer camp favorites and get crafty! You can hit up your local dollar store for wine glasses to paint or your local craft store for friendship bracelet supplies. For the perfect summer craft, ask your guests to bring a pair of inexpensive sunglasses and provide beads to customize them. When you try a new activity with friends, any lingering social anxieties after spending so much time alone will disappear. Arranging group arts and crafts allow for your guests to mingle as they bond over their—hopefully—beautiful creations.

    Think of the ‘gram

    Put together a photo drop! Blow up balloons, hang up streamers, and even assemble some photo booth props for your friends to document the night. IWB loves a balloon moment! If you have the time and patience, creating a tropical balloon garland or try these XL Flamingo balloons that will have your friends snapping selfies all night! 

    Don’t fear a sugar rush

    We are firm believers that all bodies are summer bodies. Don’t even think about counting calories when hosting a flamingle! Turn your kitchen into a baking show and try your hand at these flamingo donuts or these flamingo blondies for an extra sweet treat. If you aren’t confident in your kitchen skills, create a s’more bar with all the fixings to end the night!

    —-

    Whether you’re an introvert, extrovert, or lie somewhere in between, we all crave connection with one another. Bringing your friends together to flamingle is the perfect way to celebrate this summer. It doesn’t matter if you go all out or keep it simple, what’s most important is spending time with the people you care about. We know that using these ideas to plan your next summer get-together will be sure to make it an event everybody will remember.

    All Ways Rosé

    • Comments Off on All Ways Rosé
    • by

    It’s no wonder to us that rosé wine is as popular as it is. It’s pink and sparkles? Yes, please! But, when looking at the history of this crisp and refreshing wine, it hasn’t always been the talk of the town. In fact, up until 2010, the traditionally thought of as “cheap” wine only accounted for 8% of total wine sales. However, according to research conducted by bw166, in the US, rosé sales have skyrocketed by an amazing 1433% from 2010 to 2020.

    So what changed? It’s hard to pinpoint an exact reason, but many believe it’s linked to the rise of Instagram. If we’re being honest, nothing is prettier than a fresh glass of rosé. Add a glass while sitting by the pool and who doesn’t get instant FOMO? As with the surge in popularity of cosmopolitan martinis thanks to Sex and the City, another reason could be linked to rosé being a prominent feature on many reality shows. Pop culture-obsessed fans know that Lisa Vanderpump of Real Housewives of Beverly Hills even created her own brand of rosé after showcasing it so heavily on the show. 

    Many millennials site rosé as being the unofficial drink of the summer. With so many brands making this light and fruity wine accessible to the masses, it’s easy to kick back with a chilled glass (or can) of rosé wherever you are. But on top of the classic glass, there are many ways to enjoy a bottle and we’re here to share our favorite recipes for you to enjoy this summer.
