Dark Chocolate Truffles

Each year I also make homemade dark chocolate truffles for Valentine's Day. These are really simple to make and tend to prepare them in conjunction with the Oreo Truffles. This recipe doesn't make as many as the oreo truffle recipe but these are incredibly rich and I can only eat maybe one or two pieces a day, which is good for an indulgent snack. However, I would make these with plans to share and spread the love.

Deal-breakers

Relationships are tough. I only been in one serious relationship that lasted 2 years and a bunch of "oh we're dating but I only see you in school and we don't talk outside of school" relationships. I don't really count the latter since most of those averaged out at 9 days. Then a couple that were on the way to being serious but died after a few months. It happens. They're all very unique life experiences.

Why am I bringing up my past T-Swift inspiring failed relationships? Well, through these relationships I have realized some of my personal deal-breakers. I also had a conversation about deal-breakers  with an old friend the other day, so I thought of compiling a list of what my very practical and somewhat odd deal-breakers are for a blog post.

Top 20 Classic Love Songs (Part 2)

This is Part 2 of Top 20 Classic Love Songs. I just want to say that brainstorming this list was tons of fun. It was also a lot of work watching the videos, researching the songs, and pulling out perfect lyrics. I have so much respect for blogs who do this often.

That being said: Enjoy!


10. Journey - Faithfully

"Oh, girl, you stand by me
I'm forever yours
Faithfully"

Journey is another must for this list and it would be almost sacrilegious if I didn't include this song. Faithfully peaked at #12 on Billboards Hot 20 and popularity continues to grow into today with popular shows like Glee covering it. This is an anthem for long distance lovers trying to make the relationship work.

Oreo Truffles

In Japan on Valentine's Day girls make chocolate for the boys they like. When I found that out I instantly loved that idea. Making chocolates for someone is so personal and sweet, in more ways than one! I almost never have someone for Valentine's Day but I started to make chocolates each year regardless, this way I am able to share them with my friends and family. Also, honestly, myself. Because I am a girl and being alone on Valentine's Day is never ideal.

Top 20 Classic Love Songs (Part 1)

 In lieu of Valentine's Day coming up I decided to have a cliche "Love" theme for this week's post(s). I used to hate Valentine's day but now I enjoy it even when I'm single; just because I'm not in a relationship doesn't mean I'm not loved. I like to celebrate the people who do love me by making them chocolates and sweets.I'm positive they do not mind.
Any-who, this originally started out as a Top 10 post, however, I asked my lovely friends for some suggestions.Which had a plentiful response and now I cannot narrow it down. All of these songs are classics and amazing in their own way and really set the mood for Valentine's Day whether you have a significant other or will be cuddling with your cat.

NOTE: This is really not in any particular order. I am not a professional music critic. These are just my opinions.
