The Pampered Princess

This is a simple, every day treat that you can enjoy any time.  I like chocolate, but I enjoy it the most when it’s special. 

There are tons of chocolate delights out there that can be enjoyed any time: mocha latte, brownies, Hersey bars, chocolate kisses… the list goes on and on. 

I’ve recently discovered a chocolatey delight that is worth savoring when you want to have an extra special treat on an oh-so-ordinary day.  It sort of mixes two of my favorite flavors (chocolate and coffee).  I’m referring to Starbuck’s Expresso Truffles.  You can buy them for $6.00 or less at your local retail store.  I picked mine up at the local Target store and boy am I glad that I did.  One truffle is just the right amount of sweetness after dinner.  I love them and if these are your kinds of flavors, you will too!

GIFT IT!

You can put a bow on a bag of these for a ready-to-go-any-time gift!  Also, feel free to add this to any of the gift basket ideas shared in my other posts.

Everybody deserves a day like this.  You spend many long hard days on the job, so you deserve a day or an evening of doing absolutely nothing that contributes to a better world.  You know what I mean, right?

 Sit on your fanny watching Gilligan’s Island reruns and eating cheesy poofs until you fall asleep.  Play video games until your eyes won’t stay open any longer.  I personally like to watch Fresh Prince or South Park or Seinfeld while playing City of Heros and eating junk food.  It makes me completely useless, but peaceful.  We all could use a day like this once in a while. 

Gift It!

Turn this into a gift by giving someone you love permission to be a lazy bum for the day.  You can create “bum for a day” coupons and accompany them with Blockbuster coupons, a goody back full of snacks, a starter subscription to an online game (such as City of Heros or World of Warcraft).  Who do you know that deserves a break today?
