i heart peanut butter.

I heart peanut butter...love crunchy the best...

But...there is a new favorite in town...
Peanut Butter & Co. {all natural}

Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Dreams

leaves me "dreaming" for more! Really.

This stuff is A-W-E-S-O-M-E!

It is like eating a peanut butter cup...but in peanut butter form.

It has a smooth, fluffy texture...love.it. The dark chocolate flavor is a lovely addition to the PB!

A spoonful is wonderful. I even put a big glob on top of my oatmeal this morning!
Great for a mid-afternoon snack too!!! TRY SOME!

And...they have other flavas too...cinnamon swirl, white chocolate, mighty maple, and others!

I am more than satisfied with my purchase...slightly obsessed! Oh...I found mine at my local Publix...around $5 for the jar----but, you don't eat much in a serving...so it does last!
{And...there is a recipe spot on the website...can't wait to play with Dark Chocolate Dreams!

Good cup of Joe!

I love good coffee...I splurge on my coffee from time to time...
However, I have found one of my favorites these days is Dunkin' Donuts Dark!
I can't believe I'm saying this...but SBucks is starting to taste like an ashtray to me...So...I will be sticking with "DD" and a local establishment {another post!}

This coffee has a nice, bold flavor...and...it is nice and dark!
It is around $7.99 a bag.
But...Publix and Target run sales on Dunkin' Donuts coffee...all the time! I stock up!
{i love the decaf too...i really like to mix the dark and decaf!}
And...if you live in {205}---a Dunkin' Donuts just opened out in Pelham!
Fun times! Happy Sipping on this chilly, rainy day!

Merlot Friday!

Hello! Happy Friday! I want to share a nice wine we sipped on this week!

A wine I have not had in a long time...but, it was just perfect for a wind down after a long day! Estancia makes a good wine for the price!

And...they tend to put it on sale a good bit, too! We found the merlot on sale last weekend! This wine has a pretty red, ruby color...and it is nice and smooth...We enjoyed with dinner two nights this week...and it is delish with a piece of dark chocolate. It has a berry flavor to me...it says it has hints of mocha...but, I didn't pick those up in my tasting. My husband should write these wine reviews...he has crazy, sensitive taste buds...can pull out flavas well! :) I, on the other hand, just like the wine because it is good! ha! But...this is a "good 'n!' for sure! Oh...I believe it runs in the $10-$15 range!Happy Weekend! Happy Sipping!

Kiss of Moisture!

Now...I know I raved about DCT lip care in another post!
{And..yes, I still love this stuff...just mainly use it at night--and at home only!}
But...I do work with 8-9 years olds...so...using my fingers to apply lip care is not appealing, at all.While at work, I use this awesome lip care! Nivea-A Kiss of Moisture- lip care is simply wonderful! I love the smooth, creamy texture of this product. It wears well underneath lipsticks too! It is super light weight and adds just the right amount of moisture to your lips!
And...another plus--it has SPF of 4---which is always a good thing!
So....to avoid those nasty finger germs while out in public, grab a tube of this!
Also...kiss of moisture has other shades and lip glosses! They are super too! I have a tube of lip gloss...LOVE.it! You can find this at any drug, grocery, or "super" stores! Happy glossing!

I love me some dark chocolate...

like, I have a nibble/chunk {depending on the day} every night!

Lindt's Dark Chocolate with a touch of sea salt is one of the more interesting dark chocolates I have sampled in a while. I was a bit skeptical at first...but, I am sold on it now!

Now...to review the taste...it is a mild chocolate...not super dark---I do wish it was a bit darker...but, it is still a nice piece of chocolate. Like I said, I like really dark{er} chocolate!

This is more creamy with a touch of dark...the salt hits at the end, nice surprise!

And...it is so smooth with a good glass of red wine!

If you have passed by this in the store and wondered about the taste...

give it a try! Your taste buds will be pleasantly surprised---mine sure were!

Happy Tasting...And...Happy Weekend to you!

Great Winter Wine!

Cline 2007 Zinfandel is a yummy winter wine! It is an old faithful at our house! We know it will be good with just about any dinner and dessert! The 2007 is around $9-10 at most stores. It is a wonderful sipping wine! Here is an excellent description:

A solid everyday Zin, dry and spicy, with flavors of blackberries, cherries, chocolate and loads of anise and black pepper. Good price for a nice, easy wine.

Happy Weekend! Happy Sipping.

Friday Fun!

On Friday's I will feature something fun...something you might use over a weekend! And...what better than a good glass of red wine! I tend to drink reds all year---but, I especially love them during the cold winter!

For the money, $9.99 at my Publix, Ravenswood Cabernet Sauvignon Vintners Blend is an excellent Friday night sipping wine--or any night for that matter!

This is a bold, yummy wine! It goes great with beef--and heavy meals in general. It pairs so nice with a good piece of dark chocolate too! Yum!

So...if you are looking for a cheap(er) bottle of wine to curl up by the fire with this weekend, grab a bottle of Ravenswood Cabernet Sauvignon Vintners Blend!
Happy Sipping!

Winemakers Note:
The 2006 Vintners Blend Cabernet Sauvignon is a lovely balance of Cabernet, cassis-like fruit mingled with an oak spiciness, and earthy complexity. It is fresh, bright and pleasing to the nose. In the mouth, it is balanced, flavorful and has a long finish that is never heavy or cloying. This is the perfect wine for food and will make a pleasing accompaniment to your everyday meal. Please enjoy this wine on a regular basis. Make it your "house Cabernet" for it will surely please both you and your guests. This is a delicious wine at a great price.

Wine Details: COMPOSITION: 75% Cabernet Sauvignon, 14% Syrah, 5% Petite Sirah, 6% Cabernet Franc

Best "Eva!"

Now, I know there will be some dispute as to whether this is even a product!? But, in my mind, a product is anything you use! So...I think these Hanky Panky undies are one of the best personal products you can get!

First, let me say...I don't spend a lot of money on most of my undies...like I buy the 3 packs at Walmart---really! So---these are a fun splurge! How many times have you heard someone say, "you really can't tell you are wearing a thong?" And...then you buy those pair---and YOU CAN TELL you are wearing one, in fact, you want to burn them because they are so uncomfortable!!

Well---that was me. Until I found these...Hanky Panky Orginial Fit. I love, love, love, love them! And...I really can't tell I am wearing them. I even wore them 9 months preggers and they fit great. See---they are one size fits all. I accidentally bought a low rise pair---honestly--I don't love them as much as the original fit...there is a difference.

Now, let me tell you-they are pricey. Like, $18.50 a pair pricey, GAH, I know! But...they really are worth it ladies! I have 3 pair---and that is plenty! Of course, I would love more...but, you can rinse them with a delicate wash and you are good to go.

They dry fast!

So....if you are still looking for the perfect thong, give these a try! On another note, these would be an excellent lingerie shower gift! Any new bride would love to have some, right!!?

Hanky Panky can be bought at most high end department stores, clothing boutiques, of course, you can go to their website: Hanky Panky! And...check out this deal on Amazon!

Comfort in a Cup!

Aveda's Comforting Tea is truly comfort in a cup!
Aveda products are a long time love of mine! I am a big fan of their hair products, makeup, lotions, candles, and now their tea! My sweet friends took me to get a pedicure when I was 8 months preggers at an Aveda salon. While waiting for our pedicures, they served us this delicious tea. I could not quite tell what was all in the tea---but I knew I loved it!

The tea is made with licorice root, peppermint leaf, sweet fennel, and basil. Now, some of you are thinking....GROSS! But...you would be surprised at how yummy this blend of ingredients taste together! You can't taste the licorice at all---and I hate, hate, hate licorice---so you really can't taste it, trust me. The mint flavor hits the back of your throat---a little surprise after you swallow. Another plus for some folks is: it is organic. And...the best thing about this tea---it is caffeine-free! So, you can enjoy a cup in the evening without worrying about being up all night! One last plus to share...there have been a couple of times this tea has even helped to settle my tummy, as well as my nerves (ha!).

So...if you are looking for a calming nighttime treat, try some comfort tea by Aveda. Your taste buds will love you for it...! A box of 20 bags is $14.00---it is a treat worth splurging on!

Happy Sipping!
