I’m going to be honest with you, this little blog of mine sometimes brings in cool opportunities.
Like chocolate.
Anyone else out there live for the stuff like I do?
Hershey’s is coming out with a new flavor in their Hershey’s Pieces line featuring ALMONDS. And lucky moi got a chance to inhale sample the new flavor.
The verdict? Dangerously good. In fact, I powered through half of the bag before I even realized it. DANGEROUSLY good, people. There is a whole almond in each chocolaty good melt-in-your-mouth piece.
I have to say upfront that I have always been a big fan of Hershey’s Pieces because they come in re-sealable bags, which makes it easy to indulge in your craving and save the rest for another time. So theoretically, one could show a little restraint with the chocolate consumption. (Notice that I used the word “theoretically.”) A word of warning though – they are amazingly addictive!
GIVEAWAY: Now for the good part! This new candy won’t officially launch until December 2, but Hershey and I are giving three lucky readers a chance to win it prior to the launch!

If you have read my blog more than once you already know that I am a sucker for books. Specifically self-help books. So when I was given the opportunity to review one – I jumped on it. Hey, I’m lookin’ for my MOJO, remember?
The book is called Stop Praying. Now, right off the bat I didn’t know what to expect because I am a faith-filled gal. Turns out it is not anti-God just more directed at motivating readers “who are fed up with a normal, go nowhere life.” Okay, then. I’m in.
It uses five daily disciplines to spur you into action for a 21 day commitment, complete with journal for writing activities.
I must say that one particular chapter struck me. It was the chapter on Choice Awareness. (Wince) I’d never thought about choices the way they were presented in the book before: “Every day we are subconsciously making hundreds of mini choices….by mini choices I mean things like tossing something towards the trash, missing by a little bit and walking on.” The author goes on to give examples of stopping your three mile run at 2.5 because you are “close” or having “just one” brownie because you skipped breakfast, ect… The point being made is that by choosing the easy way out, not finishing and not taking the high road, you dismiss the little decisions as “unimportant” and consequently you are not living up to your potential. Basically arguing that our subconscious KNOWS and RECORDS these little moments. Thus killing your self-confidence.
Fascinating and unnerving at the same time. I’ve found myself way more conscious of these “mini-choices.” So I’m committing to the 21 day journaling exercize. I’m hoping that it will create a greater awareness and intention in my life.
AND BONUS: Two lucky folks will receive a free book copy and tote bag! Just visit this site and enter the promo code “hip” … IT IS THAT SIMPLE!
