Chocolate Love

November 24, 2014 by Mia Fox Leave a Comment

Special Dark Chocolate
As a romance writer, I can imagine a scene in which the dashingly handsome man hand feeds his lady a bite of chocolate and then proceeds to kiss away any traces that may have marred her lower lip. Now, I’ve got even more reasons for my chocolate love.

Usually around 3 p.m. I find myself in need of a small pick-me-up. You know, that little bit of luxury that gives me the boost of energy I need so that I can go into mom-mode and become a snack making, homework helping, activity driving pixie extraordinaire. A bite of chocolate is the ticket.

It’s packed with healthy chemicals like flavonoids and theobromine, but remember to nibble on dark chocolate, which has more trans fats and less of the undesirable saturated fats.

Here’s what the doctors are saying chocolate can do for us:

Reduce the risk of heart attack
Decrease blood pressure and increase insulin sensitivity
May improve arterial blood flow
May help people suffering from chronic fatigue syndrome

However, the health benefits of chocolate may disappear if you overindulge. It might mean that you are adding pounds along with flavonoids. Think of chocolate as your afternoon indulgence. A little break and a little bite go a long way. Try a two-ounce square of chocolate or about six chocolate kisses (Special Dark variety)…and don’t forget to reach for your favorite romance novel while having your bit of indulgence.

    I love perfume bottles. In fact, the inspiration behind “Released,” the first book in the Romani Realms series, came from a perfume bottle. Now, I’ve found this angel inspired bottle by Victoria’s Secret and I think I feel a story brewing.

      Fiction Meets Lego

      As authors we are always looking for new ways to tell a story. Sometimes, we have to find new ways to tell an old story. Apparently, the same is true for the creators of Lego who have recently hired a new art director to fuse together different characters, thus creating fresh and new lego. It’s fiction meets lego.

      Take a look at their new creations:
