Chocolates Make Australian’s Most Trusted List
August 10, 2012
As sexist as it may sound, they say that behind every successful man is a strong woman. Similarly, as conceited as it may sound, behind every successful industry or business is a number of loyal consumers.
Admit it, no matter how good quality a product is, or how promising the offered services are, if you do not have people who patronize them then you have next to nothing.
It comes naturally that the performance of various industries be rated by the consumers themselves. In the recent survey conducted among Australian consumers, they came up with the list of the most trusted products and brands.

All Hail Mighty Cheesecake
August 9, 2012
Cheesecake, oh I just swallowed my saliva right there. You are the ultimate culprit behind the smiles painted on our faces--especially on mine, most of the time. I swear by this cake, and I crave it even when I have it in my mouth.
Cheesecake is perfect with coffee in the morning, with an orange juice for lunch, and hot milk before going to bed. But if you cannot get enough of it like yours truly, you can still sneak in a few bites during snack time.
Cheesecake also has that magical taste that comforts longing hearts and tired bodies. Seriously, I may sound animated and overboard, but I dare you to try one for yourself and I would sashay away saying I told you so.

A Cow’s Best Friend?
August 7, 2012
As the old adage goes, a diamond is a girl's best friend. It could be in a necklace, earring, ring or whatever form of jewelry, as long as it's made out of diamonds, then that will be a sure hit for the ladies. Is that true?
No offense, but I believe I am entitled to my own, honest opinion. I say it's best to scratch that thought, at least when you're referring to women in this day and age.
Some women might be blinded by the glitters of these crystals, while others get taken aback when they see how good diamonds look when worn with the perfect little black dress. That used to be the case, but it's a thing of the past. Diamonds are no longer our best friend, chocolate is!

Chocolates Are The Bomb
August 2, 2012
Upon seeing the title, I bet you immediately assumed that I was just describing how head over heels devoted I am to chocolates and that I went all metaphorical. You would think that I formulated this catchy title in order to lure you into reading.
Well, now that you started the second paragraph I can say that the reading goal is met. But really now, chocolates are totally the bomb. Ask the Nazis and they will tell you why.
I cannot believe I'm saying this about the people who painted our world's history with tragedy, but the Nazis were pretty creative. I would like to think that the term "death by chocolate" was coined from their efforts. If you don't like gruesome tales, then maybe now is the time to stop reading and click on the ad at the top of the page.

Black & White Cheesecake
August 1, 2012
Did you know that National Cheesecake Day is an unofficial holiday that takes place annually every 30th of July?
Such tradition, which is actually part of a large tradition of an array of food holidays, is not authorized by any presidents. Also, it sadly doesn't possess any congressional records to back its claim up.
However, we know all too well that thousands, or perhaps millions, of individuals from across the country have their own reasons to celebrate this delectable holiday anyway.

Chocolate: Not Your Child’s Best Friend
July 27, 2012
I was once a little child, innocent and fun-lovin'. All that mattered to me was waking up in the morning and rushing downstairs to play with my toys or go outside the house and play with my friends.
I did not mind what I was eating, surprise surprise. It was my parents' or my guardians' job to prepare my meal. I just thought then that they were adults, thus they should know better about what to give to a child like me with a devil-may-care attitude.
As I grew older and became more aware of my surroundings, I started having a hard time dealing with food. I became an uberpicky eater. I was crazy stubborn. I can even imagine my mom nodding in agreement right now. I would just sit on the couch and watch trash TV rather than staying at the dining table to eat. They would have to run around just to catch me and shove something into my mouth.

Chocolate Myth vs Fact
July 26, 2012
In all the years of my existence, there is not one person I know who does not like chocolate. I mean if you dislike this sweet treat then you must be seriously disturbed, right? Kidding aside, the thought of hating chocolate does not simply register in my mind. But if you really do, then I demand a detailed explanation.
Yes it is true that chocolate contains caffeine, but not in dangerous amounts. You can still enjoy chocolate with only little touches of caffeine like the ones in milk chocolate.
They also say that chocolate is associated with acne. You can put the blame in the natural changes in the body as one ages, or charge chocolate for causing your breakouts. But truth be told, there has been no evidence-based proof that chocolate is linked to acne.
