Adventures of a Skinny Girl Wannabe: Choxie Chocolate Review

Reality TV Junkie

Survivor Guatemala
Last night was the big tribe merge. The tribes came together and made the new tribe, but still seemed to keep to tribal lines very strictly. It seemed throughout the show as though Jamie would go for his rude comments to the other tribe members, but Brandon was the one to be voted off for being a strong team member and serious threat. It will be interesting to see how much longer Bobby Jon can survive with the other team gunning for him to go next.
Martha Stewart's Apprentice
No matter what Martha does she just doesn't seem as dynamic as Donald Trump does. The teams did terrible on their marketing pitches and Martha ended up firing two different women at the same time for the mistake. This would have seemed very dynamic if it was Trump firing them, but instead it just seemed a bit dull. I wasn't sorry to see either of the women go, the blonde squad.
The Biggest Loser Update
I was sad to see Mark go last night on the Biggest Loser, but couldn't believe how wonderful he looked in his after-the-show interview. He was down by 150 lbs. and looked marvelous! I love to see great weight loss stories and how young and viberant everyone feels with their weightloss.
Survivor Guatemala
I was sad to see Amy go. She was such a "tough girl" and really gave the game her all. Thanks for a great game Amy!

Jennifer Weiner: In Her Shoes
I started this book before the movie was recently released with Cameron Diaz and Shirley McLaine. I really enjoyed this book because of the character development between the two sisters and the plot was always interesting and kept me guessing. I want to go to see the movie now that I have finished the book to see if it does this book justice. (****)
Jane Green: Jemima J
I loved this book in describing the weightloss and emotional changes of Jemima! I could relate with this book. (****)
Joann Hornak: Adventures of a Salsa Goddess
Absolutely loved this book! It made me want to get up and salsa all night! (*****)
Jennifer Weiner: Little Earthquakes
This book had its moments: sad, emotional, angry, happy etc. But an all together good read! (****)

Choxie Chocolate Review

This weekend I discovered the most wonderful of wonderful chocolates. Now understand that I'm not a big chocolate fan, so this is even that much more unique.

On Friday evening I was at Target and discovered a wonderful brand of chocolates called Choxie Chocolates. These chocolates called to the artist in me because they all have wonderfully artistic screened designs on the front of each of the chocolates.

I couldn't resist, them especially because they were on sale.

Here are just a few of the chocolates that compose a sampler package:

Cinnamon Spice Pralines & Creme

Chocolate Limon Apple Pie

Key Lime Blueberry Creme

Pralines & Creme Chocolate Mint

Needless to say you can see why these chocolates were calling my name. I am on the Weight Watchers Core program and these chocolates were certainly not part of the plan, but who can stop from just eating one. :) I'm happy to report I've only tasted 2 of these chocolates and are saving the rest.

My favorite so far are the chocolate mint Choxie Chocolates.

To think that this chocolate is edible, you really aren't a chocolate fan then.

Oh wait, you must have been sucked in to the nice colors and clever packaging. Yeah, it got me too. It's unfortunate that Choxie tastes like artificial vanilla and plastic instead of...chocolate. Their marketing and advertising tactics really are pretty clever.
