They had me at salted.

My birthday extravaganza week is still going.
I spent today at the spa getting a facial and massage, relaxing and reading.
Bliss.
For lunch I stopped by Starbucks to get a
Salted Caramel Hot Chocolate.
Yes, for lunch.
Yes, I said salted.
Don't knock it until you try it.
Seriously.  Sounds weird.  Tastes good.  
Perfectly acceptable lunch choice as far as I am concerned.

(Heather Kate just shared a salted caramel recipe with me here.
Add that to my lunch!)

It is the second drink I have fallen in love with this week.

First, the Peppermint Chocolate Chip shake from Chick-fil-a changed my life. Dare you to try that one and not become obsessed.  I am just glad that the nearest CFA is half an hour away.  Or else I would be in serious trouble.

I could easily survive my jaw being wired if I could drink those two things every day.  But that's a bizarre tangent.

The real reason why you are reading today is to find out who won the Splendid Things giveaway right?

Hooray for 

You are the happy winner of the reusable snack bags.

Thanks again Jeanette for the great giveaway!

I am off to her shop to get my own set.
Care to join me?

    I love both of those drinks too! Coincidentally...I went to Chick Fil A tonight - and they were OUT of the peppermint chocolate shakes! What?! Good thing I'm not pregnant and craving them! It would get messy!

    Your Chik fil-a is a half hour away? Mine is seriously around the corner, which really is not good, because, hello, happy hour! 2 shakes for the price of one, 2-4 pm. My kids are all over it.

    Thank you! I'm so excited to win the reusable snack bags!!!
    I can't imagine having a Chick-fil-a 30 minutes from me - we have three within 15 minutes here in wonderful Georgia! :) My mom works for WinShape Retreat here in GA - as Chick-fil-a is passionate about the sanctity of marriage. We LOVE Chick-fil-a! :) http://www.winshape.org/retreat/
