Okay. I’ve not latched onto this food box thing because I’m a very picky eater and I would probably throw away half of each box. Especially the foods of the world one; French, okay but that would be about the only one I would completely love. That sweet snack box doesn’t sound too bad but, still, I’m sure I would throw away some of it, especially if some of the chocolate is dark. Hate dark chocolate.
I had never heard of that show, The Better Show but I just looked it up and it is on in my city. I’ll have to check it out at some point. You looked great, Nicole.
@mslewis – Thank you so much! And yes – the better show is great – they have lots of fun celebrity interviews and lifestyle content. It airs daily in most US markets!
