A Kiss, Is Just A Kiss

I confess, dark chocolate is my bliss. Okay, more like my kryptonite. It's always been there for me. It's never let me down. It's never broken my heart. It is my guilty pleasure.

As we all know by now, dark chocolate, in moderation is good for us. It is high in antioxidants and it is reported that eating dark chocolate releases serotonin, the feel good chemical, in the brain. In fact, the higher percentage of cacao the better it is for you. My preference is 65% or higher. Many have stated that eating dark chocolate gives them the same euphoric feeling of being in love.

It's also been found that the aroma of dark chocolate can boost neurotransmitters in the brain.

Armed with my love and knowledge of dark chocolate, and knowing antioxidants are great for the skin, how could I help but want to incorporate it into my product line?

I created a dark chocolate soap, made with natural cocoa butter and 75% cocoa powder. We offer a Cookies and Cream scented candle, made with a dark chocolate fragrance. Our second most popular Bubble Cake is Chocolate. We'd be downright negligent if we didn't have a chocolate facial.

I had been mulling some ideas for a few Valentine themed products just for the holiday. Sometimes my best ideas come when I'm not really putting too much thought to it. I usually have dark chocolate at my checkout counter for customers to nibble on while they wait to be checked out. One afternoon, while ringing up a sale, my customer commented on how much she loved chocolate kisses. She said that opening one of those sweet, delectable little treats was half the fun of eating it. Light bulb moment! A great little Valentine product idea was born.

Our Chocolate Fizzy Bath Kiss weighs in at a decadent two full ounces. It's loaded with rich, natural cocoa butter, real dark chocolate and scented with dark chocolate fragrance. Molded in the shape of that sweet little chocolate wonder. All wrapped up in a neat little package of shiny gold foil, just like the real deal. The best part? Zero calories and silky soft skin. These were a great hit for Valentine's Day gifts. Why shouldn't every day feel like Valentine's Day? These little gems now have a permanent place in our product line. These make delightful gifts for bridesmaids and wedding guests, bridal or baby showers, birthdays and more. Custom labeling available. Enjoy!

Looks yummy! Soaking in Chocolate. Interesting concept. No calories if you don't eat it, right? I may have to give this a try.

Sounds like a great way to indulge without cheating on your diet! ;0
