I won’t lie to you - I have a sweet tooth. A big one. In fact, I probably have more than one. And although I tend to prefer the fruity candies, I do love some delicious chocolate from time to time (you know, for all of its “health enhancing” qualities ; ).

Enter : Choclatique. This fabulous site is all about chocolates. From their information on chocolate, detailed flavor guide, and customizable chocolates boxes, you can find what you’re looking for!

The site offers a variety of products, not just chocolates! Try marshmallows, nuts, sauces, ganaches, beverages, and even sugar-free goodness! And if you’re really fanatical, you can join the Club de Choclatique to received monthly chocolate deliciousness!

If you happen to be looking for something for a wedding or anniversary, they also have some items you should check out. Yum!

Now for the really good stuff. Choclatique is giving one of our readers an 8 piece Love assortment (pictured above). Doesn’t it look delicious (and almost too good to eat)!? To enter, simply tell us what you think looks like the best Choclatique goodie. We’ll randomly pick a winner at the end of the week.

My Invitation Link {GIVEAWAY}

Sorry I didn’t get this to you yesterday! Crazy day.

Let me tell you about MyInvitationLink.com, a fabulous online wedding invitation creator. It’s definitely something you should look into if you’re wanting to forgo the traditional paper invitations or if you’re looking for a way to be extra environmentally friendly.

So how does the site work? Once on the site, start by selecting a template (there are more than 40 to chose from). Next, upload photographs from your computer - engagement shots, your favorite “sweet” pictures, etc. The next step is to add text slides - tell your love story, share wedding day details, whatever you want to share with your guests. After the text slides, you can add music by choosing from a selection the site already has or uploading a tune of your own. Next, organize the slides in the order you want them, finalize everything, and create and send! Easy as that.

And just because we’re focusing on the wedding-related aspects of the site, many of the invitations can be used for showers, engagement parties, and even new babies!

GIVEAWAY DETAILS: We will be giving away two free accounts! Yippie! MyInvitationLink will host the invitations for three months (the winners don’t have to create accounts right away, however). To enter, simply post a comment sharing with us your favorite eco-chic invitation alternative or other earth friendly wedding favorite.
