$25 Valentines Day Chocolate Gift Card #Giveaway to Coracao Confections (Open WW) Ends: 2.14.17

Since becoming vegan during the middle of last year, after being vegetarian for 15 years, I wanted to know if I could find a nice tasting chocolate that would still satisfy my taste buds. I have grown to enjoy dark chocolate since becoming vegan but I wanted to shake it up a bit to see what other options were out there.

 So, I heard about Coracao Confections a while ago now and jumped on their mailing list but just got around to ordering some of their individually-packaged pieces of chocolate. By the way, if you join their email list, you have a chance to win $100 worth of their chocolates. They do their drawings monthly for one winner.



They are located in California and have a nice variety of handcrafted chocolates. One of them that I received complimentary with my Valentine's Day pre-order purchase was a bit outside-of-the-box, in flavor, but it was nice that I gave it a try too. It was the Salted Almond Butter Chili Cup. It had a kick of spice from the cultured chilis with the almond butter and coconut sugar filling. There was also Balinese sea salt sprinkled on top. 



All of the chocolates came in a small box, wrapped in pink tissue paper as shown in the images below. I also liked that you could see the ingredients for each chocolate, which is nice to know.

Of the two that I purchased, I really liked the Golden Galleon. It is also one of their customer favorites and I see why. It has whipped cashew butter caramel, nuts, and is nice and chewy. One customer said that it reminded her of the Samoa Girl Scout Cookie. I kind of could taste that but this is much softer and oozing to me ;) I could taste the coconut too, which I love anything coconut!! I will be purchasing more of them in my future orders every time they are available. Highly recommend.

Like I said about the dark chocolate earlier, I have grown to like it, but I'm more of a sweeter-chocolate gal for sure. However, their Berkeley Bar is still good because I enjoy chocolate and nuts together. This piece of candy has whipped cashew butter with crunchy, salty almonds. It's their take on the Snickers if you enjoy them and it has 81% dark chocolate on the outside.

Winner Announcement:

Congratulations to Kristen R!

(It has been officially displayed on the Rafflecopter below)

You are the big winner of our $25 Lakeside Collection Gift Voucher. Thank you for participating and Thank you to everyone who submitted entries. 

There's more GIVEAWAYS on the way!

This giveaway and pet photo contest are sponsored by Lakeside.com. All products mentioned within this blog post were purchased with a voucher as compensation. All opinions are 100% my own. Yours may vary.

Selena Thinking Out Loud With Purpose would like to invite you to enter two very special Valentines events, sponsored by Lakeside Collection! Valentine's Day is soon approaching and it's not only a very special day for humans, but our pets too. I had the opportunity to review some really cool pet toys and products for my cat, Sonia. She had some serious favorites too. Secondly, there is a fun Pet Photo Contest, LIVE Now, for all of you to enter as well. Read all of the details below, for each event, and Good Luck!


Include Your Pet(s) in Your Valentines Day
Valentine's Day is a special day for lovers, showing love to family members and friends. However, there are our pets too, who desire tender loving care, affection, and special gifts on this day. I had the opportunity to give my cat, Sonia, a number of Valentines gifts from Lakeside.com. Some of them she really enjoyed from the start and others, it took her some time to get used to. Here are my reviews for each item.

This Complete Cat Play Gym was a big hit right from the start. My cat, Sonia, fell in love with this product. It was very easy to assemble, with only four (4) parts in all. There is a ball on the inside of the larger unit, where you see my cat trying to stick in her paw. She spent some time trying her best to get it out. It really encourages her to explore, relax and have time to exercise. That ball challenge seems to never get boring to her.

These LED Motion-Activated Cat Balls came in a pack of 3. My cat began to chase them around the room, after she sniffed them a bit. The LED lights are activated by a red button on the top of each ball. Then they light up once your cat pushes them. They go off automatically, to save the battery, until they are triggered again by your cat. I normally see her having a good time with these at night, when it's darker in the room. Since my cat is a night-wanderer, she has these to entertain her. They are another nice Valentine gift that she enjoys.

This Collapsible Pet Carrier was an interesting product. It is made of a thick plastic boarding, with twist knobs to lock it together (You will have to bend the plastic a bit to help it to form up even after attaching it with the twist knobs, but it collapses down well for re-boxing and storage.) Since my cat is an indoor cat, I don't do much traveling outdoors with her, but if she needs to go to the vet, I wanted something that would have sufficient ventilation and where she wouldn't be scared out of her mind to get in to. I tried this product with her and she walked in it and looked around. I carried it around the house to see how she did inside and it was fine. I did notice that she liked to walk in it as I carried

it around so you may feel like you are carrying a bowling ball, leaning to one side. This product is actually for small dogs as well as cats. I liked it for a quick way to transport my pet to appointments and in case of emergencies. 










These Set of 2 Hide and Seek Pet Toys received mixed reviews from my cat. She sniffed them for sometime, but I think she is still trying to understand that there is a hidden pet toy inside of them. The pet toys poke out of the holes as the balls are being rolled. She does roll them around from time to time, but it seems to be occasional. Sonia seems to enjoy much smaller toys since she is a pretty petite cat.

Showing love to your pet this Valentine's Day can be very special by purchasing him or her a new pet toy, taking them for a longer walk, or lounging at home together for a cat or dog-friendly, movie night.
