Chocolate: in any way shape or form

There’s no denying we love chocolate, so treat yourself to 10 minutes of pure indulgence and have some DARK chocolate . By the grace of the goddesses who heard our pleas, we managed to combine two of our favorites for when on a diet  try calorie free CHOCOLATE tea!

Loose Dark Chocolate Tea Loose Dark Chocolate Tea     

This is certainly a surprise, and one that works very well. A firmly dark and delicious chocolate flavour in the tea creates a most enjoyable taste - and it is nearly without calories. It is essential not to brew this wonderful tea too strong, or the Black Tea will take over. Using just one teaspoon of leaves for a 6-cup teapot to create a stable reviving brew with scrumptious chocolate flavour. Sweeten with honey! The tempting flavour comes from cocoa bean kernels and chocolate pieces. Ceylon and China Black tea, chocolate pieces and cocoa bean kernels, flavouring. GBP1.95 per 100g

Or get a bite of the best chocolate known to womankind made the old fashioned way…

WARNING!!! this is no ordinary candy bar, it comes in classic and delights such as cinnamon, ginger, chili, coffee, pistachio, orange and wonderful vanilla.

Casa Don Puglisi Pure Chocolate from Modica - Classic Casa Don Puglisi Pure Chocolate from Modica - Classic     

We are pleased to introduce this luxurious chocolate bar, courtesy of the renowned Don Giuseppe Puglisi of Modica, Sicily. Puglisi’s chocolate bars are made in the Aztec tradition, creating a rustic, brittle chocolate untainted by modern machinery and artificial flavorings. The chocolate’s opaque patina comes from its cold production process which maintains the full flavor of each ingredient. The cocoa is cold-pressed with sugar granules , rather than heating the cocoa and corrupting the purity of its flavor. Delicate and speckled with reddish blooms, the brittle chocolate crumbles upon disturbance. The unusual texture is the antithesis of mass-produced chocolate. Thanks to a painstaking handmade method, the quality of the ingredients is allowed to shine through. This treat will be a find for any chocolate lover! *Available in 8 flavors: Classic, Chili, Coffee, Cinnamon, Ginger, Bergamotto (Orange Essence), Pistachio, or Vanilla.

 Play that funky tune! : either Marley, Madonna, Nora Jones or Kiss ( are they still around?)  whatever is your favorite crank it up to your delight, close your eyes  and get carried away from the craziness. We highly recommend a personal mp3 player such as the Apple Ipod over the imitators, it’s sleek, comes in colors such as turquoise and purple and do not require a Masters in Engineering to use and load music and change . Plus the sound is GREAT!

How to chose the right color nail polish

Gorgeous | Beauty, Grooming, Main, Styling | Tuesday, 30 September 2008

YES!!!! every gorgeous person has at least one good color, and there is there a “right color for you” out there! Unfortunately there are also have MANY MANY wrong colors for you, and it has to do with your skin undertone.

Red is good for everyone, you have to find the RIGHT RED! If you have pink, or yellow undertones try a vibrant red with either pink or yellow undertones. Nars has the most divine RED!! that will compliment all skin undertones. It classy and very neutral despite it’s JUNGLE RED name

 Neutrals are great, shear nudes, pale pinks, and are very forgiving! If it chips, it will not be as noticeable as with a vibrant red. How about this lovely shade : Butter London Royal Ballet?

Again, undertones, undertones undertones. A pale pink that will look great on one lady will look girlish or plain wrong on another! Lippmann has just the right pink for the right gal. My Romance is a chic shade that caters to all skin undertones

All of these are reasonable priced at around $15 dollars, and before you start saying WHAT???? let me warn you: a manicure will last a good 10 days. If you skimp, you will pay in the long run with frequent chips, dull color and lack of that beautiful gloss shine after your first hot bath … gorgeous ones.. this is experience speaking… save money somewhere else :)
