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!

Feet Swell No More!

So...I am sure some of you are laughing...Where is this post going...!?
When I was preggers, I had some MAJOR feet/ankle swelling---like I had cankles kind of swelling. Not only was it ugly---it was uncomfortable. I love sleeping in socks, eww, I know! But...my feet and ankles were so swollen---I had "ring around the sock!" It was awful.

So...I went searching for a pair of socks that would not press into my skin.

While walking through CVS one day, Dr. Scholl's caught my eye!

Funny, I know...But the title of the socks is what did it...circulatory socks.

I thought....mmmm...wonder if they will help my cankles.
I purchased a pair of Dr. Scholls diabetic and Circulatory socks.
*I told you I would try just about any product!*

Well...I was shocked---within days my swelling started going down.
Yeah right you are saying... :) True story though.

My husband can validate my statement!

I started wearing and sleeping in these socks---the swelling really almost went away!

The day I went into labor my ankles looked completely normal!

After a long day of labor- I ended up having a c-section.

I had to wear the "boots" for 12 hours to prevent clotting in my legs.

Well--due to fluids and "boots' --my feet swelled again--but much worse!

When I got home, I started wearing my socks again-within a couple of days the swelling started to go---and after a week--they were almost back to normal!

Not quite sure why they work---but they do.

Probably something to do with the pressure of the sock???

Dunno...but if your feet swell--or you know someone who has this issue--

give these socks a go! Or...pass on the info. to a needed swelling victim! :)

I found mine at CVS!

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.

Won't Clean without 'um!

A 3M Scotch-Brite Multi Purpose No Scratch Scrub Sponge will always be under my sink!

I love these things! They are excellent for sinks, cooktops, pots and pans, tubs, counters, and the list goes on and on! I really don't clean without them anymore! I especially love cleaning my sink with this "sponge!" They are great because they wipe and clean{you can really scrub too!} without scratching!!

I may be in the dark...I know these have been around for years...But, they are new to me...and I LOVE 'um!!! They clean great with my Mrs. Meyer's Stainless Steel Cleaner {which is another post in itself!!} Happy Cleaning!

Save your $!

Purex 3-in-1 sheets seemed like the best thing ever...But, I was not sold on these o' so easy sheets. As far as cleaning and static reduction, they did there job! But, I did not care for the smell of these sheets-at all. I was not overly impressed with this product---but, that is just me! I am sure there are folks out there who love, love, love them! I just didn't care for the smell---and I am a pretty big smell person. I did notice a commercial geared towards me :) ----they have a new and improved smell according to the commercial I overheard the other day. So, there you have it---my first "this is not the best" product review! Although, give them a shot if you like...You make love them, who knows, right?!? By the way...I just noticed there are several scents--I bought the "pure and clean"---so, maybe, just maybe, the other scents would change my mind. If I had to guess, I'll eventually give another scent a try, but not any time soon!

Another "Freebie!!"

Go here! This looks like a fun freebie! I have no idea if I will like it, but it is free!

Once mine comes...I'll let you know my thoughts! Go get you some!
