In case you are/were living under a rock, the world was in a tizzy last week because we all thought everything was about to end. Like. Forever. Yup, that's right.

While I love my family and getting to spend oh so much time with them over the holidays (seriously, I do), I need some alone time too. When it all becomes a bit much, I like to escape with my favourite television show.

A trip to the drugstore never ceases to amaze me and always results in me laying down some major cash. However, in my defence, you can find some great products at an equally great price point. 

With all of the products that line the walls, it's inevitable that some get lost behind all that...

With only about a week left until Christmas, I am officially in crunch time shopping mode. It doesn't help that I somehow keep adding people to my list. Nevertheless, I'll admit that my list is pretty hefty and I'm not nearly where I should be. Ah, the joys of procrastination. I'm going to take a guess here and say that...

A moist cake outer shell with warm and gooey chocolate that oozes out? Yes, please and make I'll take three! Here is why I love lava cakes: they combine two delicious desserts in one and while each on it's own is pretty darn good, together it's like a decadent explosion of flavour in your mouth.
