    Hershey’s Special Dark and Extra Dark Chocolate Giveaway!

    Author: Elizabeth

    With Heart Health Month as well as National Chocolate Month both occurring in February, now is the time to treat your body right. According to world-renowned health and fitness expert Bob Greene, you can stay on track to live your Best Life while enjoying Hershey’s Extra Dark Chocolate and Hershey’s Special Dark Chocolate.

    Hershey’s Extra Dark Chocolate is the only chocolate to receive the Best Life Treat Seal of Approval, which was created by Greene and appears on select foods. The treat seal is intended to help consumers make healthier food and lifestyle decisions. Chocolate lovers can visit www.hersheys.com/thebestlife to learn how to incorporate Hershey’s Extra Dark Chocolate in their daily Best Life Diet with recipes like Chocolate Ginger Spice Muffins, Chili con Cocoa and Chocolate-Banana Sherbet.

    I received a box of samples of Special Dark and Extra Dark chocolate for review, and let me tell you, this is some GOOD chocolate. I’m already a big fan of Special Dark, so I loved the Special Dark with Almonds.  If you enjoy fruit-and-chocolate combinations, you’ll love the Extra Dark with Cranberries, Blueberries and Almonds and the Extra Dark with Pomegranate, both of which have tiny bits of chewy fruit inside the rich chocolate.  The pouches of Extra Dark contain individually wrapped squares making portion control easy.   One bar of Special Dark and three squares of Extra Dark chocolate have as many antioxidants as 2/3 cup blueberries, a glass of wine, or 2 cups of green tea!

    - 1 box Hershey’s Special Dark Dark Chocolate Bars (36 bars in each box)

    Scientists looking for black holes should check my house

    Author: Elizabeth

    It’s no secret that I’m unorganized, a piler, a clutterer. But it’s not like the crew of Hoarders will be parking 1-800-Got-Junk trucks out front or anything. The surfaces might be piled with stuff, but you can tell there are surfaces underneath. Nevertheless, every once in a while, something disappears and no matter how hard we look, we just can’t find it.

    The first thing to go missing was one of Kaitlyn’s shoes. A shoe is not a tiny thing, and yet although we’ve torn the house apart, we just can’t find it anywhere. Then, the case for my Nintendo DS vanished. We’ve looked and looked and looked, it is just gone. And now, this morning, I went to fix a cup of coffee, and the bottle of coffee creamer I bought at the grocery store last night isn’t in the refrigerator. I checked every shelf and drawer, I even checked the freezer because you never know. It’s just gone.

    So what is up with that? Where did those things GO? I hate having to buy Kaitlyn another pair of shoes when she has a perfectly good pair except for that whole one is missing thing. And the DS case had a bunch of games in it that would not be cheap to replace. Gah! So frustrating.

    What about you? Do things disappear in your house? What’s one thing you’ve lost that you just never were able to find? Tell me!
