Sinfully Sweet Valentine's Day Treats

Valentine's Day is one of my most favorite holidays.  Trust me, I don't like it for the romance - rather I like it for the scrumptious goodies that abound at this time of year.  With today's online market, you are able to purchase almost any baked goodies that your loved ones cherish!  I've chosen my top 5 picks for this Valentine's Day, and I hope you steal my ideas for these delectable treats.







Godiva Chocolatiers' New Limited Edition Pink Vanilla Buttercream Cupcakes
A bite size beautiful chocolate cupcake adorned with pink vanilla buttercream and a signature Godiva chocolate medallion nestled on top.  The most luscious part of these perfectly pink cupcakes is the rich chocolate ganache center that melts into your mouth as you bite into true chocolate bliss.  What could be better than spending Valentine's Day with a significant other? Spending it with your new six pack of Pink Vanilla Buttercream Cupcakes!

MarieBelle New York Chocolates


Chocolate is a girl's best friend - end of story.  But good chocolates are sometimes hard to come by.  Living in New York gave me a world of chocolates to choose from, but my favorite chocolate shop is MarieBelle on Broome Street.  MarieBelle offers a wide array of truffle choices include Champagne, Lavender, Earl Grey Tea and Cinnamon.  Each truffle is beautifully hand crafted and offers unique images on the individual truffles.  MarieBelle also offers hot chocolates, chocolate bars and teas with flavors from around the world.  Prices vary depending on the size box purchased.

Lip Service


After weeks of twenty degree weather here in the deep South, my lips are suffering. In a panic, I rushed out to the nearest drugstore for some help. Much to my surprise, Neosporin has a new line of lip products. I grabbed the Neosporin Lip Health Daily Hydration Therapy, which has an added bonus of an SPF 20. After just three days of using the product (Neosporin's recommended time to see results) , my lips are back to a normal state - no cracking and no flaking! If you visit the Neosporin website, you can grab a coupon for a dollar off your purchase!

Neosporin Lip Health Daily Hydration Therapy and Overnight Renewal Therapy are available at CVS, Target and Wal-Mart and each retail for $4.99.
