HG: Guylian Belgian Chocolates Review & Giveaway
Okay, raise your hand if you are as chocolate lover? Yeah, I
am too. Give me any kind of chocolate, and I will love you forever. I love all
kinds- dark, milk, white, milk with nuts… you get the point. But I believe that
I have found the best chocolate I have ever tasted. It’s smooth, delicious, and
down-right creamy. That’s what you’ll get with Guylian Belgian Chocolate.
So how did Guylian come about? Why not read the sweet (no
pun intended… maybe) story!
Guy Foubert was a passionate Belgian Chocolatier making handmade chocolate truffles in
Sint-Niklaas, Belgium. In 1958, Guy and Liliane joined their names, both in marriage
and in their company name creating Chocolaterie Guylian; a small, artisanal
chocolate maker. Today, Guylian crafts the finest authentic Belgian
chocolate truffles, selling them to chocolate lovers in Belgium and in more
than 100 countries across the world.
How adorable is that? I don’t know about you, but when I
read a story like that, it makes me smile
Guylian Belgian Chocolate has chocolate for just about
everyone. Do you like Extra Dark? They
have that too. Are you on a sugar-free diet? They didn’t leave you out. They’ve
created chocolate
bars for you! And of course, they’ve got their Artisanal Belgian Chocolate
Truffles.
These chocolates are perfect as gifts, or if you just want
to eat them yourself, that’s okay too.
You can follow Guylian on Twitter and Facebook! Tell them Edge of Insanity sent ya!

What I Thought
When I received a package in the mail and saw that it was from Guylian, I couldn’t help but smile. It had been a crazy day since Thanksgiving was close by. The cup of instant coffee I had just finished wasn’t working, and all the pets were driving me nuts. Sometimes I feel like I live in a zoo. So this came at the perfect time!

After opening the box and seeing the chocolate, I couldn’t
help but take one… or two chocolates. Let me tell you that my taste buds had
exploded. It has been a long time since I’ve had chocolate that superb. It
sweet the right amount of sweetness with the right amount of smoothness. Wait,
let me just show you how good these looked:
Are you drooling yet? I can still taste them! This was just
one of the many boxes I received. Now, look at what the inside of it looks
like:
Everyone in the family wish we had a lot more, but they were
happy and loved it all!
We will be buying more of the chocolates to keep on hand
(and I will start my very own Guylian stash!)

Eco Lips Review & Giveaway
But Eco Lips is helping those with chapped lips bring that moisture back with natural and organic lip balm! Its started in the early 1990s, when Andrea Danielson began brewing small batches of natural lip balm in her kitchen for her friends and famly. Once word spread about the lip balms, Eco Lips, they became the best place to get natural and organic lip balm!
They offer a WIDE variety of lips balms to choose from! Want a little shimmer but want to keep those lips moistened? Try out their Eco Tints Tinted Lip Care! If you want a little flavor, check out the Pure & Simple Lip Care! They have a few flavors: Coconut, Tasty Grabe, and Kiwi-Strawberry!

BUY
You can purchase Eco Lip balms ranging from $2.49 and up.
WHAT I THOUGHT:
I was able to try the Dagoba Lavender, Eco Tints Coralyte, and Kiwi-Strawberry Lip Balms.
The Dagoba Lavender smelled pretty good. Kind of like chocolate and lavender mixed together. You could taste a little of the lavender and blueberry with just a tiny hint of cocoa. It wasn't enough to make me want to keep reapplying it just to taste it but it definitely worked on getting the moisture back to my lips.
The Kiwi-Strawberry tasted delicious! I could taste a a little of the sourness from the kiwi (which I absolutely love!) and just a little of the strawberry. It now sits in my purse so that when I'm out and want a taste while moisturizing my lips, I can just take it out. It is definitely my favorite!
I also got to try the Eco Lips Gold lip balm. I tend to have terribly chapped lips when the weather changes drastically and I had chapped lips when it arrived so I was glad to try it out first. It feels a little thick, but for a reason- it is meant to moisturize the lips. After a while, my lips were returning back to their normal state. I didn't have to reapply it a million times to get the feeling that it was healing. It seemed to work after a few days so I am glad to have this in my chapped lips arsenal!
