To Anyone Who Loves Cadbury Creme Eggs...

Beware of buying Cadbury Creme Eggs too far before Easter. I personally believe that the Cadbury Creme Eggs that are currently on the shelves are from last year and the "Creme" centers are more like paste.
Nothing sucks more than biting into the season's first Cadbury Creme Egg only to find out that you have been duped by the store. Be patient...wait at least two more weeks before you buy.

The Cadbury Mini Eggs are a great alternative to the Creme Eggs if you just can't wait to dive into the Easter Candy season.

Enjoy!

Bubblegum Vodka and Go Girl!

This past summer, I came across a yummy new Bubblegum Flavored vodka. I know what your thinking...it must taste gross. I am happy to report that it is the BEST flavored vodka I have ever had. I absolutely LOVE IT!!

During Christmas, I stopped by a state run liquor store in Seattle to pick up a bottle to share with friends. They said they decided not to carry the Bubblegum flavor because they felt it was a temptation to underage drinkers. Haha!! Luckily, California does not fell the same way.

Try mixing it with some Go Girl Energy drink and I guarantee you will be happy with the result!

Valentine's Day = Candy

Valentine's Day means more to me than just celebrating with the one you love. It also means new holiday candies of all shapes and sizes are in the stores waiting for me to try them.

Every Valentine's Day, for as long as I can remember, my dad has given me the same heart shaped box of See's chocolates. I look forward to this box every year and can't hardly wait to rip open the box when it shows up at my house. I only ever ate See's candies around Valentine's Day..that is until recently.

See's candy shops carry MUCH more than their boxed chocolates. For Valentine’s Day this year, I picked up a bag of their See's Hot Hearts and See's Sour Hearts


The Hearts were a bit expensive ($4.50 for a 12 ounce bag) but the bag was pretty and included a real piece of ribbon on it and a thick plastic bag. I'm a sucker for good packaging. :)

.. these were both so good and I think I might want some more after Valentine’s Day!
