GODIVA Truffle Fight™ #TruffleTakeoff

21 · Oct 20, 2013 · 1 Comment

This post is brought to you by Godiva // In my perfect dream life I would travel the world with my camera and spoon in hand. Money wouldn’t be an issue, nor would calories. I would travel to exotic locals all over the world and photograph doors and windows and try as much authentic local cuisine as I could. I would love to photograph a beautiful coffee table book just of doors and windows and the meals behind those doors & windows. Doesn’t that sound heavenly?

I just want to experience and drink in everything that I can. I want each meal time to matter. My husband laughs at me and my funny dream world. He also finds it kind of frustrating when I want to try everything on the menu. I’m a taster… I want one or two bites of everything. I don’t need a whole plate of one main dish, how boring is that? I want to experience the high notes of a vinegary salad along with the low notes of the rustic artisan bread. I’m the same way with desserts. Don’t give me a bowl full of a brownie sunday, I want to taste a little bite of everything you’ve got! I want the meal to tell me a story.

Recently, I was lucky enough to try the new GODIVA Truffle Flight™ and I have to say, that is my kind of sweet treat!

This is a sweet treat that tells a story. Each box comes with 6 fine truffles, each with a role to play. I had the chance to try the GODIVA Ultimate Dessert Truffle Flight™ and it was an experience for sure.

As with any good book, you would never start in the middle of the story. You start from the beginning, savoring every moment. The introduction of the characters, the slow build to the climax of the story with the happy ever after at the end. The same holds true with the Truffle Flight™. You start at the left side of the box and slowly move your way to the end of the box, savoring the story along the way. If you are a sweet person, you may even share this experience with a friend.

GODIVA has been thrilling taste buds for over 85 years. Started in Brussels Belgium GODIVA has grown to be a global leader in the chocolate world. The chocolatiers at GODIVA have come up with something truly unique with the Truffle Flight™ gift box. There are six different stories to indulge in…

The six Truffle Flight Collections include:

Nut Lovers Truffle Flight^TM: Salted Almond, Hazelnut Crunch, Pecan Caramel, Butterscotch Walnut, Maple Walnut, Pistachio.
Dark Decadence Truffle Flight^TM: Dark Vanilla Mousse, Chocolate Soufflé, 50% Dark Chocolate, Chocolate Lava Cake, 72% Extra Dark Chocolate, Aztec Spice
Heavenly Mousse Truffle Flight^TM: Dark Vanilla Mousse, Milk Chocolate Mousse, Strawberry Mousse, Lemon Mousse, Peach Mousse and Café Au Lait Mousse
Cake Truffle Flight^TM: Birthday Cake, Pineapple Hummingbird Cake, Cheesecake, Red Velvet Cake, Chocolate Lava Cake, Lemon Chiffon Cake.
Ultimate Dessert Truffle Flight^TM: Chocolate Éclair, Crème Brulee, Red Velvet Cake, Chocolate Lava Cake, Tiramisu, Strawberry Crème Tarte
Milk Chocolate Lovers Truffle Flight^TM: Chocolate Éclair, Milk Chocolate Mousse, Milk Chocolate, Butterscotch Walnut, Salted Almond, Hazelnut Crunch.
You can visit any GODIVA Boutique nationwide or online at Godiva.com/truffles to be whisked away on a magical flight of your very own! Don’t forget your friends along the way… This would be a perfect little gift for your friends and loved ones as well.

New Project Life Just Add Color Kit Perfect for Instagram

6 · Sep 9, 2013 · 7 Comments

// This post brought to you by American Crafts & Project Life //

I adore Becky Higgins and her Project Life brilliance! Raise your hand if you have also fallen in love with the Project Life system. It takes chore out of documenting life and turns it into something fun and enjoyable. Here is a post that I wrote a while back talking about Project Life, how to use it and why I love it. I've even used left over cards to create some fun projects for my little guy, like these Flash Cards. Needless to say, I'm a fan!

This month the Project Life crew is introducing a new kit with a whole new twist on HSN (the Home Shopping Network.) It's the Just Add Color kit on HSN. You are going to love this kit and especially love the price!

Soooo… other than the fun new colors and graphics, do you notice something different? If you've been working with Project Life before, you'll notice the new square format perfect for Instagram photos. Here's a quick run down of what's new in this new release…

I decided to take my very first Instagram photos and work on a few pages…

Gager's was so small back then, just a baby! I LOVE how the fun 2×2 squares and the stickers add so much to the page. Check out some of the stickers, they are great…

Not in the mood for color? Don't worry! This kit has a stunning collection of black and white cards as well…

These black and white cards were perfect for when Gage broke his leg… I'm still not feeling to colorful about that. 😉

Isn't this kit so fun? Don't forget… A Limited amount of Just Add Color kits will be available at an amazing price at HSN on September 17th. Shop early because they will sell out for sure!!

Antique Farmhouse Floor Lamps Review // Lamps.com Pin to Win GIVEAWAY

8 · Aug 29, 2013 · 22 Comments

This floor lamps reveiw / giveaway post brought to you by Lamps.com // When it comes to decorating, I am all about the statement piece. Building a room is much like building a good wardrobe. When filling your closet, it’s good to invest in some quality staple pieces like a classic white shirt, fabulous jeans, classic boots. Items that are timeless and will also stand the test of time. Then once you have a good selection of these classic items, then you add in the fun trendy stuff. These items you don’t need to invest a whole lot in because they are in one season and then out the next. They same goes for dressing your home. Let’s face it, our tastes change… Well, I know mine does!

When designing a room, it’s also a good idea to invest in good quality anchor pieces that are classic and will look fabulous for years and then accessorize with the fun colors and other trendier items. Sofas, tables, large pieces & lamps are all the types of items that you want to invest in timeless quality. I’ve been recently introduced to Lamps.com and I am thrilled with their selection most definitely their quality.

Lamps.com contacted a little while ago to see if I would be interested in reviewing one of their lamps and for sure, I jump at the chance. I knew that they are known for their huge selection, quality merchandise & excellent service so why not take one of their lamps for a test drive.

Let’s talk about their selection… aaaaamazing! Seriously, you can find any type of lamp that you are looking for at almost any price point. They have lamps under a $100 and then they have some stunning chandeliers that would knock your socks off and almost anything in between. I selected this beautiful Antique Farmhouse Brass Floor lamp to dress up my living room here at the new house. When it arrived I was blown away by the quality of this lamp. I haven’t ever been skimpy when purchasing lamps. Like I said before, quality lamps are an investment and should last a lifetime. I’ve bought my current lamps from Pottery Barn and they are great, but this farmhouse lamp from Lamps.com blows them out of the water.

Each element is solid metal and crafted beautifully. It adds a bit of rustic elegant charm to my new room design. I couldn’t be happier with my lovely new lamp and I can’t wait to find some more treasures at Lamps.com! What treasure would you like? What’s your style? Are you looking for a table or floor lamp, or some fun pendant lights for your kitchen? Come on over to Lamps.com and Pin your favorite lamps for a chance to win a $100 to Lamps.com!!
