Create your own chocolate!

Another post today! yey for me . I hardly ever get to post because apparently writing on this blog isn't work or homework so i'm not allowed/supposed to do it during the week :/

Ok. So this website i have found lets you design your own chocolate. Its brilliant. Ever been sat their thinking i have no idea what to get *insert name/relation* for their *insert occaison*? Or been in a shop looking at a chocolate bar and thinking that would be really nice if it didn't have peanuts in or if it had more caramel or something like that? This is your website if any of the above apply to you. They do gifts , you can create for you and you can bulk buy. Heres the website : http://www.createmychocolate.com/create/chocolate/

They do a selection of recommended selections, ones others have created and nice recipes from the company itself. Its perfect because you can tailor make a chocolate bar for whomever and they are guarenteed to love it. Plus you can add messages and special/personal names.

Proccess
  1. You choose what chocolate bar you want from the options white, milk chocolate, dark and milk and white combination.
  2. Pick up to 6 toppings (more about that below)
  3. Name your "chocri"
  4. Add to cart
As an added bonus if you buy 5 bars you get 1 free! so order for all your friends. I'm your friend....

Toppings
You can add 6 toppings, some of them are truly weird! They are split into different catagories like fruit, spices or decor (& more). Here are some examples of jsut a few below:
  • Gold flakes (REAL GOLD!!!!!)
  • sprinlkes
  • Roasted almonds
  • Bannana chips
  • Cinnamon
  • Cappucino chocolate drops
  • Candied lilac
They have so many, you would have to be insane not to like any of them.


A print screen of some ready made recipes ( i personally think that takes the fun out of it but whatever)

Alexander Mcqueen Limited edition/gifts

Hey so these are some gifts i found and also some limited edition Alexander Mcqueen items that i wante to share with you because they are really ncie and i love Alexander Mcqueen coz hes a babe. In case you don't know hes a fashion designer, he is actually dead-killed himself :/ , but his fashion  house/couture label has taken his palce to continue to produce gorgous items.

Savage Beauty


First is the Silk scarf.(left! the book is not a scarf, i know revelation....) It was created to celebrate Savage beauty and made exclusivley to commemorate Alexander Mcqueen. Its being sold in new york :/ downer , but i think you can buy it online? .
I love this scarf but unfortunatley, priced at $495 its not really in my price range tbh. It is a mix of silk and chiffon. I think i read somewhere that the skulls have been taken/influenced by previous collections.

Ok now the book. From what i can gather the book includes pictures of alexander mcqueens finest moments, catwalk shows etc.. It has an interveiw with him in it and also his commentation, i assume on his collections. I would write more but the website is playing up. Quote from the website about the book "Savage Beauty, published on the occasion of an exhibition organized by the Metropolitan Museum's Costume Institute in New York: preface by exhibition curator Andrew Bolton; contributions by Susannah Frankel and Tim Blanks: photography by Sølve Sundsbø. The book features the most iconic and radical designs of Alexander McQueen's prolific career with his own illuminating commentary, in addition to an interview with Alexander McQueen Creative Director Sarah Burton: features lenticular front cover "I put it in italics for you because .... im that nice. It costs $45, which is reasonable i guess.


This is a silver skull key ring, i think it means silver colour but at the price of it i would want a nice chunk of solid silver, but thats just me...It has swarovski crystals for eyes-yh dont we all- and a solid brass, logo embossed coin with an anti-allergic silver finish. Just in case you were debating buying it because you might come out in a rash.......

Don't get me wrong i love it but i would probably loose it. Seeing as its $125






Gifts
In the gits department (of the website) i found these cute key rings. I don't think they have anything to do with savage beauty but they follow the same idea and they come in different colours!! So i guess you coudl go off colour or just base it n the value of your house because you might have to sell it to buy one.


$80
