Heart Shapen Chocolates Heart Shaped Chocolate Favors

Ok, it is almost Valentines Day and that also means all of the Valentine’s Day Wedding Favors and heart shaped everything. Now although doing a Valentine’s Wedding is sweet but also kind of overdone, and can ruin a Valentine’s Day if for some reason you ever split up, one thing I do love is that when I think of Valentine’s Day I think of Chocolate.

Not only do I think of Chocolate, but I also think of Hearts and a perfect reason to be able to break your diet with a ton of really bad food like Dips, Spreads, Carbs and everything else you aren’t supposed to eat when you are on a diet.  What better day to break the Diet rules to either celebrate with the one you love or Celebrate being Single and eat tons of fatty foods and Garlic.  What better reason to also celebrate your wedding and let everyone else who wants to eat tons of bad food break their diets and celebrate with you by eating tons of fatty foods and carbs.

Anyways, with Valentine’s Day and Weddings both giving you the perfect reason to eat chocolate and be tacky with hearts, I wanted to share a few different heart shaped chocolate wedding favors and heart shaped chocolate candies.

These creamy milk chocolate hearts wrapped in silver and red foil make great favors when you present them in an organza pouch, cello bag or favor box. The choclates are made by Astor Chocolate which has been producing delicious, premium Belgium chocolate for more than 50 years.

Treat your guests to a small yet scrumptious gift. This elegant chiffon pouch with a red pull string comes with 4 deliciously creamy milk chocolate hearts wrapped in red and silver. The chocolate is made by Astor Chocolate which has been producing premium Belgium chocolate for more than 50 years.

A fresh and whimsical design represents two hearts joining as one. Our pink and blue pastel wrapper is personalized with your names and event date on the front, and a special message from you on the back. It’s then wrapped around a delicious milk chocolate bar for a ready-to-give favor.

Perfect Wines for a Spring or Summer Weddings

Filed under: food,Spring,Summer,wine — Tags: , , — rollerbladerdc @ 3:14 am

Ok, I had a couple of wines over the last couple days that were above and beyond amazing.  They were also absolutely perfect for spring and summer weddings.  Neither of them were heavy or thick, neither were over powering, but both of them had so much flavor, taste, great body and color and amazing aromas.  They also had about the perfect kick alcohol wise to keep you standing but also give you enough courage to go out on the dance floor and shake your booty.

Now, even if you normally don’t like chardonnays or cabarnets, you have to try these two.  Not only are they amazing, but they are perfect for people with all pallets and tastes and can match just about any meal from Chicken to Steak to Fondue.  Anyways, here are my two favorite wine picks for Spring and Summer weddings.  (Even though Stefano Farina’s Barolos didn’t make it on this list, they were a very close call for the red choice.  The second runner up for whites was an amazing sauvignon blanc, but they also ran out of the wine so it is almost impossible to get so I didn’t include it.)

Edna Valley Vineyards Chardonnay 2006

Edna Valley Vineyards Chardonnay 2006

This is the Edna Valley Chardonnay 2006.  It comes in a yellow tinted bottle and the foil around the top is a nice spring and summer yellow to tie into the wedding season.

The wine is an amazing chardonnay and unlike most chardonnays, the Edna Valley Vineyards Chardonnay from 2006 first seems like it is going to be a medium to heavy body, but when you drink it and taste it going down your throat, it is actually extremely light and flowery.

Although I didn’t taste it as a very oaky wine, my friend Mike definitaly commented on the oaky taste so I am assuming it is there for some people.  The thing that we both loved about this 2006 Edna Valley Chardonnay though is the amazing vannila explosion that you get a few seconds after you swallow this chardonnay.   The taste of this wine is soo explosive it is insane.

We served it chilled but also let is air for about 20 to 30 minutes.  We then poured it into titanium high grade wine glasses that I got from one of the wine stores listed below and we also let the bottle sit out instead of keeping it chilling in an ice bucket.

It starts out with a nice chardonnay fruity flavor, I kept getting a hint of flowers and floral aromas when I was drinking it, but the most suprising and amazing thing about this chardonnay was the explosive vanilla flavor at the end.

It wasn’t overpowering or to strong, but it just comes out of no where and leaves this amazing taste in your mouth for a good few seconds.  Even though I normally do not like vanilla wines, this one is a must have and the taste, flavor, body, legs, aromas, bottle design, etc… make it the most amazing and seriously perfect white wine and chardonnay for spring and summer weddings.

mayacamas cabernet

mayacamas cabernet

This is probably the most fabulous and amazing cabarnet I have ever had.  Then again I am extremely partial to it since I have so many good memories that come with drinking the bottle.

The first time I had ever tried the Mayacamas Cabarnet I was with my Dad and we were finally talking after a long time of avoiding each other.  This wine always reminds me of when we were talking and found out we have a ton of things in common like wine, cooking and we actually have a lot of the same hobbies.

I remember hanging out with my friends and opening a bottle of the Mayacamas Cabarnet, pouring it through my Decanter and letting it breath, then explaining why it is important and showing them what it tastes like before it breathes and then again after to try and convert them into whinos as well.

Anyways, this wine is extremely special to me and everyone who I have ever served the Mayacamas Cabarnet to has unanimously agreed it is one of the best cabarnets and reds that they have ever tasted.  It is a bit on the pricey end for a large wedding, but if you don’t mind spending the extra money on a wine for your wedding, this is one to definitely consider, at least for the bridal party, groomsmen and your parents.

Anyways, below are a few wine stores that I have shopped from or at least seen some great wines at.  Click any of the banners below and you’ll be taken to some fabulous online wine stores and also help to keep this blog alive so I can help to make more suggesstions to help you plan the perfect wedding.

Bachelorette Party Drinks Valentines Day Drinks

Jones Soda Pick a Case

Ok, If you haven’t noticed I am overly obsessed with Bachelorette Parties lately because I am heading to Vegas in a Couple weeks for a friend’s bachelorette party.  Not only do Bachelorette parties become more fun when they are a friend’s bachelorette party, but when you get to celebrate it in a city like Las Vegas, you are definitely going to have a fabulous and amazing time!

Anyways, not only do I get to go to Vegas and get to go to a Bachelorette Party in Vegas, but right after we get to celebrate one of the biggest engagement holidays and single grrl and guy holidays Valentines Day so I figured, why not create a few drinks that work for both Valentines Day and for Bachelorette Parties and since I love Jones Soda, why not incorporate Jones Sodas in so we can also have alcoholic and non Alcoholic cocktails for everyone celebrating Valentine’s Day (whether they are with friends or a lover) and for everyone at the Bachelorette Party.

Ok, so when I was looking through the different Jones sodas and thinking about the holiday and events that I am creating drinks for, I thought about what all do they have in common and what can I do to tie them all together and also find colors that match the different types of drinks and occassions.

The things that I came up with and think about when I think Valentines, engagements and Bachelorette Parties are Red and Pink and White, Chocolate, Strawberries, Sex, Romance and Rings.  Because of these and all of the fun flavors from Jones Soda, I had a ton of fun creating and designing a couple of drinks for Bachelorette Parties, Valentines Day and all use Jones Soda.

Ok, this first drink is the Chocolate Creme Martini.

The first thing to do, I always use the zero calories diet Jones Soda, is to take a Martini glass and drop a hershey’s kiss into the bottom of it.  Next, pour in some dark creme chocolate liquor over the Hershey’s Kiss, the Hershey’s kiss is a surprise for the drinker, then mis Jones Cream Soda with Stoli Vanilla Liquor and shake it in a Martini Shaker.  Next pour the Vodka and Cream Soda mixture against the side of the glass so it layers nicely with the chocolate below and you have one of the most amaizng and delicious looking drinks for chocolate lovers and they are perfect for weddings, bachelorette parties and Valentines….You can also hide an Engagament ring instead of the chocolate hershey’s kiss.

The next drink is either the Chocolate Raspberry Martini or Chocolate Strawberry Martini.  Use whichever soda flavor and berry in the drink depening on your taste.  This one can be served with or without the alcohol.

First take your Martini Glass and chill it.  Then take a bottle with a point on the top to give you a thin line when you squeeze out liquid and load it with chocolate sauce.  Now, make long ovals and swirls around the Martini glass with the chocolate and then put it back in the freezer if you can.  Now take a martini shaker mix in cosmo mix or if you have a really good and thick strawberry or raspberry juice use that instead of the cosmo mix.  Take either Raspeberry or Strawberry Stoli Vodka and then shake with ice in your Drink Shaker.  Then take the cup with the chocolate out of the freezer and pour in the mixture.  Then take a raspberry and drop it in the bottom of the drink or take a long stirrer and put a raspeberry on the top of it and let it sit over the rim of the glass.  If you did strawberries then take a strawberry and put a slice up the middle to the middle of the berry.  Then slide the berry over the rim of the glass and let it be the garnish, you can even pour a little chocolate or dip it in chocolate after you slice it to further make it a chocolate covered strawberry.

The toast.

Take any of the clear or white Jones Sodas and just mix it with a Rose or a White or Yellow Champagne.  Then just drop in your ring and propose or if it is a Bachelorette party, drop a penis lollipop or something a bit more bachelorette in since they already have a ring lol.

Anyways, I love mixing Jones Sodas with different drink mixes, especially with margarita and frozen drink mixes because it not only matches the sweetness of the mixes but it also adds a really fun bubbly taste and texture to the drinks,,,however sometimes the soda isn’t strong enough to overpower the mix and keep it sparkling so you may want to add champagne as well to the mix so it stays bubbling.

Also, if you click the banner to the left in this post, you’ll be taken to the Jones Soda website where you can put together your own cases of Jones Soda so you can pick out the sodas you want and not have to worry about wasting sodas, or getting flavors you don’t want or need.

Bachelorette Party Supplies Bachelorette Party Favors

Ok, since the post below this post about Bachelorette Party Themes has some seriously provocative items in it, and not everyone has a good sense of humor, I figured I would include a post about some Bachelorette Party Supplies and Bachelorette Party Favors that are a little less in your face and fun for just about everyone, gay guys and girls, that will be coming to your Bachelorette Party and having fun there.

If you’re wondering why I am doing a million posts about Bachelorette Parties and Bachelorette Party Supplies, I am heading to Vegas in a couple weeks for a friend’s Bachelorette Party and I cannot wait.

Not only do I love Las Vegas, not for the gambling, but for the shows and the food and my friends.  Ohh ya and because my sister and one of my good friends lives there as well…  LOL just in case they find this post so they don’t yell at me.

Anyways, I am completely excited about going to my friend’s bachelorette party in Las Vegas so I am going Bachelorette Party Crazy with the next couple of posts and going to share even more cool bachelorette party supplies and favors from a ton of different online stores that you may or may not know about.

Ok I love these and what is more sexy than a red pump.  Red pumps match black dresses, mean sex and sexy and that is why these are perfect for Bachelorette party favors, especially when you have your bachelorette party in another city or state.  These are a must have bachelorette party favor.  A great favor for a girls get-together this luggage tag has a zebra pattern on one side while the reverse side is red with a clear window and pre-printed name and address card. Made of flexible rubber with a clear, stretchable band to attach tag to luggage. Luggage tag measures 4.5″ x 3.25″ and arrives in a clear gift box accented with a sheer white bow and gift tag.

What gay guy or girl wouldn’t love a girls night out invitation with cocktails on it.  It screams fun night out and not even sex in the city style, but start it classy and end it drunk and having fun.  I love these, vintage and fun and also sort of modern.  These are perfect bachelorette party invites.  Have a whirlwind night out with the girls when you send this fun, cocktail-filled bachelorette party invitation from DwellStudio to your favorite bride-to-be’s female friends and family members!

Completely appropriate for the bridemaids or maid of honor to get for the bitchy bridezilla.  Not only will she wear it with pride on a night where she is supposed to be having fun and can finally let go, but the bridal party can finally say what they have been thinking when they see their favorite bridezilla stampeding down the bachelorette party in her bridezilla t shirt.  Fun for wearing on your girl’s night out, this “Bridezilla” bridal scoop neck t-shirt will show off your impending “I do’s” in stunning style. You’ll love being the center of attention in this flattering, crystal-embellished, bridal scoop neck t-shirt. This 100% cotton bridal scoop neck t-shirt is available in Black, Pink, or White. “Bridezilla” is spelled out in shimmering, sparkling crystals in a flirty, fun font.

Ok, everyone needs this for their bachelorette party as a wedding favor.  The bustier favor bag and hand bag is not only completely Reese Witherspoon in Legally Blond, but it is also completely Nicole Kidman in Moulan Rouge as well.  This cute pink Bustier favor and hand bag is pefect for everyone’s bachelorette party and a must have bachelorette party favor.  This richly detailed velvet bustier bag is simply gorgeous in white, pink or purple. Use it to present little treats or make a sachet by filling it with aromatic dried rose petals or lavender flowers. Each measures approximately 6.5in. long x 4.75in. wide.

This is the perfect simple bachelorette party invitation.  Not only does it get the point across, but it is cute and fun to look at.  Be bold and stylish as you invite all of the bride-to-be’s favorite friends and family members to her chic soiree using this dazzling bachelorette party invitation from Tallu-lah!

Ok we all get really bad breath when we drink, especially if someone pukes or eats or is dancing or making out with someone who has bad breath so what better bachelorette party favor to give out than martini glass breath mints.  The perfect dessert to follow a cocktail, these martini bridal shower mint tin favors complete the theme of the party. Matching bridal shower invitations and thank you cards are also available. Each tin arrives filled with peppermint candies. All text is editable so you can customize the favor for any event.

Thank God for Lady Gaga and Beyonce

Filed under: Uncategorized — rollerbladerdc @ 2:41 am

So I was never a fan of Beyonce.  I always thought she could not sing and just never liked her music.  Then again I had never actually heard all of her songs and actually didn’t know she sang a few songs that I actually did really like the dance remixes of.  Anyways, Lady Gaga was another one who I wasn’t a huge fan of but she grew on me and now I love her music, especially because of her videos like Bad Romance where she has the coffin that says monster and all of the really cool 1990′s raver clothing and party kid/clyb kid clothing and even some glam rock types of outfits.

Anyways, I would have never put the two of them together for a song or thought that it could work, unlike when Britney and Madonna produced a decent song together, not great but a good one, but on the way home from the store and I heard this really good beat on BPM on XM/Sirius Satellite radio.   Anyways when I looked at the screen to see who sang the song I was kind of shocked when I looked and saw that it was a song by both Beyonce and Lady Gaga.

Although you couldn’t actually make out many of the words in the song Telephone by Lady Gaga and Beyonce, you could completely tell it is them once you know who sang the song.  Not only did they give the remix of Telephone on BPM by Lady Gaga and Beyonce an amazing beat like a late 1990′s early 2000′s rave beat, but the vocals and energy is completely just like a 90′s rave/limelight styled song as well.

Anyways, I had never heard the song before and wouldn’t have thought that Beyonce and Lady Gaga would have produced a song together, but after hearing the remix of Telephone, I am completely a fan of both of them now.

Amazing Roses for Brides and Wedding Centerpiece Designs

Filed under: bride,flowers,Spring,Summer — Tags: , , — rollerbladerdc @ 9:55 pm

Ok, it is freezing here in Washington DC right now.  Way to cold to even go to brunch or the grocery store, heck it is even to cold to want to look out the window.  The cold probably wouldn’t be as bad though if it wasn’t for all of the wind, so instead of writing and talking or typing about gorgeous winter weddings and how I love winter weddings, mainly because I do, and so instead of reminding myself of the thing I hate most about winter, that it is freezing outside, I wanted to talk about something warmer and a bit more full of life so I decided the perfect warmer thing to post about would be flowers and flower designs.

I can easily see glass fishbowls and glass vases coming back for centerpieces this spring and summer and love the thought of avoiding all dark red roses since those are completely 1980′s and 1990′s, and going with colored roses again to match the decorations, the seasons, sticking with all of the white flowers again, etc…  I searched through a new vendor that I have never actually worked with or ordered from before, but I did fall in love with some of their designs for wedding bridal rose bouquets and wedding rose centerpiece designs.

Not only are their designs modern and gorgeous, but they also feel classic to me so they can match any type of wedding from classy and traditional to modern and minimalistic.  The best part about the flowers at this new vendor is that their bridal bouquet design and rose centerpiece designs are completely affordable compared to other flower vendors so as we are pulling out of this crappy economy, this vendor should be one to definitely look at shopping with through this blog post so I get credit for the referral too (=0)) and so that you can leave a comment here about how your roses arrived and your experience with this flower vendor since I haven’t worked with them yet or before.

Anyways I love their designs from their sites and the way that it looks from the images I saw, and even though I have never used them before, I found them in my friend’s wedding network of Vendors so I am going to give a shot recommending them.  Let me know how they worked with you and for your wedding if you go through them.  I love their bridal bouquet designs and rose centerpiece designs and if you like something that works for everything modern to traditional, you’ll love these roses as well.

On another note, even though i am over red roses for weddings, save them for the bedroom and honeymoon, I am still including a couple of red rose bouquets because I know that even though I don’t like them, many people still do and one thing I always tell people that I give advice to with their weddings is that it isn’t my wedding.  It isn’t your Mom’s wedding and it isn’t your friend’s wedding.  It is your wedding and if something you have always wanted at your wedding is red roses, you should have them, just know that they may not work for everyone, but the only one that matters for your wedding is you and your partner.  So even though I am not a fan of red roses for weddings, I am including a couple boquets for you in case you like them and want them for your wedding.

This is one of the boquets of roses that completely sold me on wanting to recommend this flow show as one that I would order flowers from.  It looks amazing from all sides and angles, isn’t too high so everyone can see across the table and talk to each other and it is completely classy and mature looking but at the same time very modern.  It is fully functional and one that I love and the gorgeous dark green foliage completely works the colors and tables for Spring and Summer weddings.  This versatile wedding flower collection allows you to save money and get some of the freshest, most beautiful roses available.

A thought on how gays help increase population

Filed under: Uncategorized — rollerbladerdc @ 12:56 am

Ok, this is completely a long shot but also one that could actually help to make sense as well.  If you cannot tell I am overly hooked on Bravo TV and their fashion TV shows.  Everything from Rachel Zoe to Launch My Line (Even though I think the two hosts are destroying the show, I change channels every time they come on, god they are annoying, bring me back Issac or Kelly or Michael Kors, anyone but them!)  and I have also heard the argument that gays shouldn’t get married because they cannot reproduce and help grow the population by some serious right wingers.

Now, although I agree, gay people normally cannot reproduce, without the help of the opposite sex or science, they can however definitely play a huge impact on the population and shows like the fashion shows on Bravo as well as the fashion industry and hair and makeup industry as well play a huge impact on human sex drive and breeding.

Think about it this way, although we cannot breed with each other if we are both male or both female, we can stop doing our jobs and only focus on gay clientele that have no heterosexual tendencies or bisexual tendencies.  What does this mean for the straight people and the human population, well it will mean a potentially seriously visible decline the population growth and overall look of the world.  Curious as to why?

True, we cannot breed, but we do run and own most of the fashion world, the beauty world and we own and run the retail world.  Not to mention entertainment, stars, music, gyms, personal training, etc…  Without us offering our talents, even decorating for mood and lighting, guess what, people will not look as good.  Clothing that is sexy may no longer be designed, or at least not the large selection that many hetero sexuals get.  Hair may not be as beautiful and make up artists will start to fall behind the times and women who go to gay men and women will no longer get to have the same treatment, or have to search a lot harder for the same quality so they can impress their husbands and turn them on.

When women and men stop being able to dress and look sexy, they will eventually see that the gay community somehow still does and when they cannot find something that turns them on as much, guess what, their sex drive dies a little bit.  If your girlfriend, wife, husband or boyfriend is just not attractive or stops being able to dress well or get their hair done to look sexy, you slowly start to loose interest in sex.  Who wants to always sleep with someone that doesn’t turn them on physically?  Physical appearance really does count, sure a personal and mental connection is extremely important, but you have to admit, there are some times when looks alone are what get you through it.

Anyways, when the sex goes away, so do accidents and pregnancies.  Without these pregnancies or accidents, there are less babies being born and with less babies, the population declines.  Sure this is a long shot, but can you image how aweful our clothes would look and our hair and make up would be without Gay Men and some Gay Women leading the way?

Anyways, it is a complete long shot but one I wanted to throw out there because it is also kind of funny.  You may be able to breed and we wouldn’t be here without you, but without us you definitely would not look as good and without looking as good, you may not even be there to create more gay people so that they can continue to make you look better and then it goes around again.  Anyways, just something I thought was funny and wanted to write about.
