When I was a kid, my father left to work abroad. My two brothers and I were still very young then and didn't know anything about our father's work except that he will be away from home for a long time and when he comes back he will bring us chocolates... lots of them. So after a year he came back and true to his promise he brought us chocolates. There were lots of them, some of whi...

Just a little extra excitement in a candy that is pretty special but not as pricey as the really high end stuff.I really like Dove Dark Chocolate.  The almond bits add a real burst of the almond flavor, but because each candy is really packed with almond bits you do lose the smooth texture in your mouth that the plain ones give.  As much as I like almonds, one of the best things about...

A few years ago I came across some information related to Sweet Almond Oil and how it was a great little thing to have in your beauty supply cupboard to ward off fine lines, smooth the complexion and help calm redness or inflammation of the skin.  I wasn't certain about this - after all Almond Oil is considered a Vegetable  oil and the last thing I wanted on my skin was something ...

I got this soap at a Christmas gift exchange. I don't normally use bar soaps, but I like the smell of almond and the oatmeal sounded like it might be good for my skin. I almost put it in the re-gift closet, but instead I gave it a try. I'm glad I did. The sweet almond smell is wonderful. The oatmeal does have an exfoliating quality and leaves my skin feeling softer than before. It does ...

 I like to shop at Peter's Imports where they get in a wide array of products from many different companies. I can always find something unusual and tempting at prices up to 70% off. This Butter Almond Toffee in a decorative tin was an impulse buy but one that ended up being the most delicious candy I've tasted. As a fan of Heath candy bars I thought I would give it a try. For ...

I absolutely love Dove Chocolate. It is a Mars Product. I buy this by the bag.  Now they have a new chocolate out. Dove with Almonds. These are fabulous. The taste is like no other chocolate. They have a nice smooth chocolate taste. There are just enough almonds in these to give them a nice nut flavor, but still have the delicious chocolate as a whole.  They come in an 8.5 oz bag, whi...

While shopping in the mall last Christmas, I was stopped by one of those pushy Kiosk Salespeople who grabs your attention in such an assertive way that unless you just ignore them and walk away, you are trapped and know that you are about to be pitched something that you probably don't want or need.  She grabbed my hand, dripped on some oil and started buffing my fingern...

Normally we don't have a lot of sweets around the house.  With all of the holiday coming up it gives us reasons to buy candy and other sweets that we don't get to have all the time.  This is one of the many reasons I'm thankful for holidays!  Now, there are a lof of newer flavors and types of Almond Roca out but in my book, the original is the best!  It is a bit ...

When it gets to the wedding preparation, everything must be considered, including the wedding expenses. I knew that the expenses would be high, but I had to make as detailed as possible when it came to the calculation. When looking for a not-too-expensive wedding cake, our wedding photographer informed us that Almond Bakery was good in their service, perfect and modern/up-to-date cake design, a...

I found this great bargain today at the grocery store.  I love chocolate and this one really was good.  It was on sale 10 for $10!  I only bought one....I tried to be good!  I was anxious to get home to try it.  This is a good sized candy bar, meant for sharing or for a few servings.  I already opened it as you can see in the picture.  I tried a bite and then ...

I really wish I had not bought this product.  I was looking for something to ease my dry winter skin.  This Olay Body wash stated that it had creme ribbons to smooth my skin.  Well, after using it only three times, I realized that the reason it was making my skin smooth was because of the waxy substance in the product.  I could actually see a big ring of wax all the way arou...

On having listened on the relation between breast cancer and the use of deodorants with aluminum, my wife and I decide to treat with some deodorant without aluminum, but that simultaneously it was protecting us from the bad smell the whole day. We look in a shop of natural products and find many deodorants in natural product stores that were based on plants but also contain aluminum. Others, ...

Before dark chocolates are really not my type not until I got a taste of this creamy milk chocolate with almonds. What I liked in this chocolate? First is because of the almonds. I loved this nut so much that even during my 2 pregnancies I usually bought 500 grams of this in the mall or in any convenience store for my stock. Second is the creamy milk chocolate. So smooth and the taste are reall...

The recent trip to Italy brought about a lot of discoveries, including snacks and candies! I thought I'd only eat pasta and yummy gelatos there but thanks to Fiumuccino's Duty Free, I managed to purchase this creamy, if not super hard, nougat candy.I bought it because the wrapping is quite extra-ordinary. Appealing and very clean looking. Once I tried what was inside, I felt a tinge of ...

When we purchased our 30 cubic foot GE Profile Refrigerator Freezer, it was a necessity with 7 children and now the 13 grandchildren.   The best feature that we all loved was the water and ice dispenser on the door.   Don't know what we had ever done without it.    Never to have to use an ice cube tray or go into the freezer to get the ice needed was a real luxury. ...

To be totally honest, I cannot find anything wrong with this styling creme & I am extremely particular with what products I put in my hair.  The scent of this creme is delightful & really does smell like a mixture of almonds & mint & is very invigorating.  The styling creme is made to go hand in hand with the WEN cleansing condtioners but you can use this in conjunctio...

I was looking for something that moisturized my skin while I shaved. While looking for soap, I noticed Colonel Ichabod's brand soap. It caught my eye on a website because of the way it's marketed; kinda old fashioned looking and interesting. I use it for my legs, when it's intended for the face. Either way, it works great! I shave when I shower and this is awfully convenient because...

There are many things that I like about the Bobbi Brown line but the most important feature is that Ms. Brown covers the gamut of shades from the fairest like a porcelain doll to the darkest like the darkest of dark chocolate. I happen to fall into the category leaning towards dark chocolate and I chose the almond shade for my complexion.  This is the newest in the foundation cat...

Almond Joy candy bars are the best! They consist of milk chocolate, coconut and the almond of course. They have all three ingredients in perfect balance. Plus, almonds are good for you, so you can use that to justify eating it. The bars are also about half the size of a normal candy bar, so, fewer calories.Some people don't like Almond Joy bars because they tend to get mushy ...

Let me begin by saying the I love THE BODY SHOP. They offer great products with natural ingredients. I bought the Almond Oil Softening Hand Exfoliator and I love it!!! You apply this stuff to the back of your hands and let it dry for like 10 minutes or so. You only need a light layer of this stuff...no need to go overboard with a really thick layer! Then once it's dry, you rub it off y...
