- Chocolate, Oh How I Love Thee
  
  Posted at 7:11 am by Hollie Jeakins Photography, on February 12, 2015
  Chocolate roses, chocolate squares, chocolate bark, chocolate drizzle, and of course little chocolate hearts.
  
  Did I mention chocolate too much? Not nearly enough when Valentine’s Day is involved!
  
  Valentine’s Day and chocolate will always go hand in hand. This year I decided to make some decadent chocolate hearts!
  
  Dark rich chocolate can be made with 3 ingredients. It’s magical watching the warm honey and cacao butter blend together with the powdery cacao to create a thick & creamy liquid chocolate.
  
  There’s no limit to creativity when you make your own chocolate delicacies. I used heart-shaped molds that I picked up at a thrift store and small spice bowls to create little chocolate drops. Use whatever you have! Continue reading →

  After cooling, I sliced the muffin in half and slathered on some grass-fed butter which I have been trying to work into my diet. Coconut oil would be fabulous too! I also drizzled on some fresh-squeezed lemon.

  I spent the day (Sunday) co-hosting a bridal shower for my lovely sister. The day turned out magical (my sister’s face lit up as she entered the party!) and the day truly was everything that I hoped it would be!
  
  We decided on a light pink theme (her wedding colour) with pink everything!! We made use of mason jars, home made tags and baby breath to help create a magical and romantic theme. Continue reading →
