Luxury Chocolates? Chocolate Meets Couture!

Dr. Taffy Wagner, President and CEO of Money Talk Matters, sent me a personal note suggesting these beautiful chocolates. Talk about eye candy, these gorgeous chocolates are made by a company out of Chicago called Chocolatines and seem perfect in our romantic settings. They also can add a touch of class while entertaining and would make the perfect wedding favor. We will try them out on our couples and let them tell us what they think. We are excited that our "love chocolates" are on the way!

Everything from weddings to birthday celebrations! You can provide them with a photo that you'd like for them to design from, or give them your vision verbally and voila, it becomes an edible realty!

Friday's...Fav...Find!

Eating dark chocolates has been found to be healthy and with today's find, you can have a daily dose.
dd
Here's why:

d

Chocolate is made from plants, which means it contains many of the health benefits of dark vegetables. The benefits come from flaonoids which act as antioxidants which protect the body from aging caused by free radicals which can cause damage that lead to heart disease.

s

Dark chocolate contains a large number of antioxidants, nearly 8 times the number of antioxidants found in strawberries. The flavonoids also help relax our blood pressure through the production of nitric oxide and helps to balance certain hormones in the body.

fd

There's nothing like a good ole chocolate bar to soothe your cares away and certain days of the month. Right ladies!!

f

You can purchase these chocolates in a 1 week or 4 week prescription! There the perfect gift for whatever the occasion or just because!

A Cupcake for your Cupcake!!!!

er

Cupcakes are the latest trend from coast to coast. From sweet shops to bakeries even sandwich shops. This year, we're getting a lot of request for cupcakes. Some people are ditching the idea of a box of chocolates and are planning on having cupcakes instead! Upon request, we'll place them on a beautiful footed serving dish in our decorated suites.

f

There's a lot of great cupcakes out there. The Atlanta Cupcake Factory is one of my favorites and my niece makes a Red Velvet cupcake that will have your toes twinkling and your taste buds smiling! She's actually in the start up phase of her own dessert company!
