Favor Traditions with Godiva

By

This post is sponsored by Godiva and SheKnows Media.

I’m excited to tell you about the new line of chocolates from Godiva called Masterpieces that I took to Bald Head Island to share with my family. This range has the most delicious trio of flavors and they made great favors on our dinner table.

There are three flavors that come individually wrapped in the bag. The Milk Chocolate Lion of Belgium is filled with creamy caramel – perfect for you caramel lovers. The Milk Chocolate Hazelnut Oyster has a nutty hazelnut praline filling. And finally, the Dark Chocolate Ganache Heart is my favorite – tried and true dark chocolate ganache!

My grandmother (my mom’s mom) hosted Christmas for many years. Every season she had little favors at the table – a holiday popper, little candies, paper crowns, ornaments, and other trinkets that we cousins loved. Her surprise favors always turned a meal into a party. We loved the anticipation of peeking to see what was at our place setting followed by the excitement of finally getting to open it. My mom has continued the tradition with favors at many of her holiday tables, particularly for the grandchildren.

A few weeks ago we got to spend time at our new family vacation home on Bald Head Island. Since it was our first visit since my parents bought the house, I decided that I would be in charge of favors for dinner the first night we were there to make it extra special.

This was the perfect opportunity to showcase the Godiva Masterpieces! First I found some seashells to put at each place setting. I set the table and dressed up the corner of each spot.

I chose the Godiva Masterpieces Milk Chocolate Hazelnut Oysters because of the beach theme (of course!) : ) They paired well with the shells and these tiny petite poppers I found online that were filled with riddles and jokes.

I also prepared some conversation starters to keep us talking long after the meal was over.

That evening we lit candles, put meatloaf and sweet potato fries in the oven, and poured some wine.

Everyone loved the chocolates! I told them all after my blog post prep was done we could dip into the extra bags – and enjoy them we did!

These individually wrapped treats are perfect for a little everyday indulgence. I often have a piece of chocolate after lunch or dinner, and I love that these have portion control within the wrapper! : )

Once exclusive to Godiva boutiques, the Godiva Masterpieces are now available wherever you shop every day: Target, Kroger, Publix, CVS, and Walmart for $3.99 for a bag.

Post-Workout Coffee Protein Shake

Once again, I’ve partnered with Brother  to show the versatility of the  Brother P-touch Label Maker , especially when it comes to fitness and gym equipment.  As always, thank you for supporting CNC! I receive quite a few questions from readers about what I eat before, during, and after workouts, so I decide to share those with you today. It changes a little bit from workout-to-workout, but I keep a general framework in mind. BEFORE (approximately 30 minutes): I typically eat a small snack made up of mostly simple carbs since they provide quick energy. Some favorites: Half of a banana or another piece of whole fruit, a protein bar, handful of raisins, or a rice cake with jam and sometimes nut butter (it just depends how hungry I am and the timing of my workout). DURING : I typically don’t consume anything during my workouts, unless they’re longer than 90 minutes, like if I’m training for a long distance race (i.e. half marathon). In that case, I’ll take an energy gel and water ev

Evernote Review: Your Digital Organization Hub

If you’re looking for a one-stop shop to organize your digital life, check out Evernote! Here’s my Evernote review and all the great features you can use to make your thoughts, notes, and files easy to find, sort, and save.  This post is sponsored by Evernote .  Raise your hand if your digital life feels cluttered. If we were in a room, almost everyone’s hand would go up, including mine!  With so much of our lives digitized these days, it’s hard not to get overwhelmed with all the information we need to save and reference. And because computers, the internet, and living in email and calendars are relatively new to humans, we as a society are still learning good systems. If I asked you to organize a paper filing cabinet, you’d probably have a few good ideas on how to do that. But if I asked you to organize a computer hard drive, many of us get stumped on the sheer volume of files and the endless ways to sort.  The good news is there are apps that make this process more intuitiv
