New Background!

by VioletLeBeaux | Sep 12, 2010 | Notices

I am about to fall asleep on top of my computer but I thought I would quickly show you one of the other things I’ve been working on! New background 😀

I’ve been so sick of looking at the old black background that I decided to spruce it up a bit. There will be a new header to match and a lot of behind the scenes updates soon but this is all I have time for right now. I just didn’t want to look at the black anymore!

It’s best viewed on a large monitor, this is how it should look:

I’m going to do a proper news and updates post later this week with a list of posts I’m planning but I just couldn’t wait for this ^_^

I hope you’ve all had a great weekend, I’m off to bed.

Night night 🙂

My Insane Love of Chocolate… Competition!

I think you all know that I love chocolate… but I don’t think you guys know how *much* I love chocolate. When I was sent some of Cadbury’s new range to test out, I just about jumped out of my chair screaming in excitement. Seriously. They are giving you a chance to win some too but first…

…Want to know how in love with chocolate I am?

One day James came home after a long day out shopping…

He is clearly the best boyfriend ever because he brought chocolate with him!

Two of Cadbury’s new range- “Bar of Plenty”! Berry fruit/vanilla shortcake and Roast hazelnut/honey roast cashews… WIN!

How good does it look?

Captain downer comes to the party unfortunately…

My life is so hard right??

And the scheming begins…the cogs and wheels turn..

SUCCESS!

With your chocolate powers combined (cue Captain Planet theme… please don’t make me feel old by telling me you didn’t watch Captain Planet as a kid)…

That’s right… I love chocolate *so much* that I would split myself into two just to get another piece!

OH YEAH!! That’s Berry fruit/vanilla shortcake Violet on the left and and Roast hazelnut/honey roast cashews Violet on the right.

Unfortunately even though there are now two of me… we are very much the still “only child”.

We don’t share.

James is ever the optimist…

-_-‘ Fail.

We also aren’t very nice people… but we work well together! Go team Violet!!

Mwahahaha! That’s how much I love chocolate!

The power of chocolate!

Oh yeah!

What Cadbury say about the new choc:

1. New Bar of Plenty combines interesting combinations of natural ingredients, all covered in smooth and creamy Cadbury Dairy Milk chocolate.

2. Available in two different flavours: Oven Roasted hazelnut and cashews gently flavoured with honey and Summer berries with crunchy vanilla shortcake.

3. Available in local Coles, Woolworths, IGA and other selected outlets.

What I say about it:

Vanilla shortcake flavor is like someone was reading my mind… this has become my go-to chocolate for the last week!
I’m not a big fan of nuts in chocolate but James says the Hazelnut bar is very yummy too and not too hard to eat unlike other nut filled chocolates.
The bars and actual pieces are massive, 190 grams I’d say the actual squares are about twice the size of regular ones… this makes me a *very* happy girl.
I was send one bar of each of these. I actually loved the Berry/Vanilla one so much that I bought another 2 bars since then and ate them all myself! DO WANT!!
