Sweet Beauty gets some press

Madelyn Miller's No Calorie Guide to Gifts for Chocoholics. This is good stuff even after Valentine's Day is over.

Big money spent on chocolate for loved ones on Valentine's Day.

According to Nielson: US Consumers are Sweet on Chocolate for Valentine's Day.

The Month Of Love?

No, Month Of Chocolate!

Welcome to February, and while most hearts are turning to love, mine is staying where it always is. In chocolate.

Did you know that the FDA has a say in what's in your chocolate? Last year, USA Today reported that the Chocolate Manufacturers Association asked the FDA to relax standards so they can use lower quality, less expensive ingredients in the chocolate you eat.

While everyone's tastes are different, with chocolate, it's easy to tell good quality. Is it creamy, rich, melt in your mouth smooth? Or is it crumbly, off color, crunchy in your mouth rocky? Taste and you'll know.

You never have to worry about the quality of the chocolate used in my products. Organic. Fair Trade. Certified. Yummy. You could come in my shop anytime and eat my ingredients. But don't! I need them to make my new chocolate and pomegranate berry inspired skincare treats!

See you at the shop!
