Chocolate delights

Everyone loves to receive chocolate at Easter, but not all of us like the effect it can have on our waistlines. So what better way to indulge in some chocolate delight than with a host of yummy beauty treats…

What is it about girls and chocolate? There seems to be some underlying magnetic force that pulls the two together, like yin and yang, and when that moment arises – when the two finally collide (i.e. chocolate bar and mouth) – peace reigns and equilibrium is restored. For at least five minutes.
