Guylian Belgian Chocolates Review/Giveaway For Valentines Day :)

By ·

CONTEST OVER! CONGRATS TO

Shelly Robertson #325!!

Who doesn’t enjoy nibbling on a piece of chocolate? I certainly like to nibble on it at times. I know my kids certainly do too! Especially if it is really really good chocolate like Guylian Belgian ;)

The package I received was simply delicious! I am on a diet, so I was not indulging too much, but my kids and hubby certainly polished it off! With Valentines Day approaching super quickly (wasn’t it JUST Christmas??!), I thought I would introduce you to this delicious chocolate, in case you want to encourage your significant other to purchase you some!

The Guylian Artisanal Belgian Chocolates are certainly a sweet treat for those awaiting taste buds! They are luxuriously creamy, rich and just plain good! These truffles are artfully crafted with the finest white milk, and dark Belgian chocolate and filled with the guylian signature truffle. It is really a yummy experience for your mouth.

I enjoyed a few of these truffles before they disappeared. I had some with a glass of wine, it was exceptional, let me tell you! Talk about a much-needed “Me time“!

I also received the Guylian Belgian Milk Chocolate No Sugar Added Bar and the Dark Chocolate No Sugar Added Bar, which were really good and creamy tasting!

Debate Over The Gift Of Lingerie

By ·

With Valentine’s Day right around the corner many people are looking for gifts for their special someone beyond the normal candy and roses. As we all know, the standard roses and box of chocolates are the gift of choice for Valentine’s Day, but if you want to do something a little intimate for your loved one consider giving the gift of lingerie.

Many couples try to give intimate gifts to spice up the relationship but make sure  your partner would agree. If you’re picking out lingerie consider your partner’s tastes, because a thoughtful gift could come off as gaudy or insincere. It’s not for everyone, but lingerie can be a great way to personalize the occasion and bring a little spice to your love life.

Sometimes shopping at stores or boutiques for lingerie can be embarrassing, but there are a lot of stores that offer online shopping for those hoping for privacy with their purchases.  La Perla and Victoria’s Secret are two popular lingerie web sites that offer private shopping, while giving you a tasteful selection of gifts and ideas. Offering a wide range of sizes, styles, and colors, you will have plenty of options for your valentine.

Lingerie is an increasingly popular gift, but it can be very expensive. You needn’t be prohibited from buying lingerie because of the cost. You can find a variety of presents for any budget. Look around at different stores, and check for deals and markdowns around this season. Make sure to give yourself time to shop around before making a final decision.

If you’re hoping to step outside the box this Valentine’s Day consider these suggestions. With all of the classy and tasteful options available for you try and make this holiday a treat for you and your significant other.

Yummy Chocolates inside!

I received a sampler of some of their yummiest chocolates ever! Of course me and my children (hubby was at work, poor him!) dove right into that little box and devoured most of them with in a half hour :) Silly me, after I had given each child a chocolate, and myself, my little 2 year old looked at me and said “Mommy, this hot!” I had to keep from giggling out loud, poor little thing! I had given her an extra spicy chocolate! Whoops! I forgot these chocolate truffles are a bit different then most! They have a “kick” to them! Ha! Love it! They are literally “spicy” I kid you not! Kinda need a lil’ drink of H2O when you are finished! How neat and unique! And the chocolate truffles were sooooo delicious, soo delicious! What a tease that was at least for me! I want more! Maybe for Valentines Day? We shall see! ;)

I also have to mention the way this arrived. I loved the way it was so carefully packaged and the box that the chocolate truffles came in, was so nice! Talk about a presentation! The ribbon on the box even had a star charm on it! Super cute!
