Chocolate shopping!

I actually got to leave my house for a few hours yesterday. I needed to run a few errands that I could put off no longer, and while I was out I took a few minutes to check out a new store next to the art studio where I teach that I had not been to yet. What a treat and delight! The store is an O'Malley & Potters, whose Feel Good Products I have been buying for several years - but this store is dedicated to all of their products, and Mrs. Feel Good herself seems to run this one.


She was a lovely woman to chat with as I perused her wares. I am a fan and a convert of her aromatherapeutic lotions, but here she also had oils, pampering items, amazing loose-leaf teas, every color of organic sea-salt imaginable amongst many other interesting and nurturing items.


But, of course, my interest was thoroughly piqued by the chocolate display. :-) I have recommended Dagoba brand chocolate in the past, but here was a whole new incarnation - in hot chocolate form! And the Xocolatl flavor (the very dark chocolate with hot chili pepper), which ranks amongst my favorites! The other chocolate bar is 'sugarless' (it uses roastes chicory root or something instead), high in fiber, low glycemic index and is supposed to be an effective weight loss product. :-) A bar and a glass of water before meals and it's supposed to have an appetite suppressing effect. Wow!! Diet made in heaven!

Happy, happy shopping trip....
