The Most Impressive Chocolate Bar The Most Impressive Chocolate Bar

Waaaay better than Wonka is Vosges chocolate. I had a Goji Exotic Candy Bar (also the most expensive candy bar I've ever bought at nearly $8) and can I just tell you -- yumm. What is in this most impressive chocolate bar, you might ask. It has goji berries, pink himalayan salt and milk choclate. I don't even really like milk chocolate in general and here this mostly milk number is taking top spot in Haley's taste bud history. Include it as part of a bridesmaid gift. Give Vosges as favors. Just buy one and try it if you can find them in Sacramento. Sometimes Sellands in East Sac sells Vosges but I haven't seen this flavor there. I got mine on my honeymoon in a little candy store called Sweet Offerings, in Cambria.

Something Blue Shoes! Something Blue Shoes!

Hello Something Blue Shoe! Check out these little dancers from J.Crew. What were once a little pricey are now on sale for $159.99 at jcrew.com. Hope they have your size... (Blue shoes are SO much better than blue nail polish, in my opinion.)
