Chocolates by Sibu Make a Perfect Valentine’s Day Surprise


Each year for Valentine’s Day I give my husband chocolates. This year I already gave him his chocolates, I just could’nt wait. They are not just any chocolates, they are Sibu Seven Omega-7 Chocolates. What makes these chocolates so special?  They are the only chocolates that I know of that contain a healthy dose of Omega-7 in each chocolate truffle.

The verdict came in very quickly, he thought they were delicious. Each box of Sibu Seven Omega-7 Chocolates contains 16 individually wrapped chocolate truffles, 8 orange flavored milk chocolate truffles and 8 mint-flavored dark chocolates. These delicious chocolates are also gluten free. The mix looks great in my candy bowl and my husband can’t resist snacking on one every now and then.

Each truffle contains 250 mg of Omega-7-rich sea buckthorn oil which is about 1/2 of the Omega-7 in each Sibu Beauty dietary supplement capsule. Learn more about the healthy benefits of Omega-7 at http://www.sibubeauty.com/sibu_omega-7_chocolates.php.

You don’t have to wait until Valentines Day to stock up on your Sibu Seven Omega-7 Chocolate Truffles. You can order yours today at http://www.sibubeauty.com/products.php.

Perry Ellis Announces New Fragrance “Spirited”

Perry Ellis launches a new fragrance for men, Perry Ellis Spirited, its first fragrance under the Very Perry branding, and with it, a new campaign image that challenges the standards of fragrance marketing.The campaign image for Spirited reflects the brand’s new positioning and whimsical point of view. Ditching the seriousness, overwrought sexuality and pretension of most fragrance ads, the ad for Spirited opts for a more playful and unassuming approach.

“Fragrance generates some of the most un-relatable, self-important ads out there,” says Doug Jakubowski, chief merchandising officer at Perry Ellis. “That’s not who Perry Ellis the designer was and that’s not who we are. Fragrance, like the rest of a man’s style, should be thoughtful but also carefree.”

Perry Ellis Spirited, a flanker to Perry Ellis for Men, is a fresh and energetic scent that opens with juicy red apple, red ginger and mandarin oil. The core evolves with tantalizing notes of clary sage, spicy red peppercorns and sandalwood.  The base warms down to rich and woody notes of vintage tee sandalwood, red oak and tonka bean. “Perry Ellis Spirited radiates a fresh and vibrant attitude perfect for the carefree, sophisticated guy,” adds Jakubowski, “We’re proud to add this launch to our collection of fragrances.”

Perry Ellis Spirited advertising will run in June issues of Details, GQ, Esquire, Men’s Health, and May/June issues of Essential Homme and Ocean Drive. Perry Ellis Spirited will be available on February 1, 2013 at PerryEllis.com, Macys, Macys.com, Dillard’s and Boscov’s. The 3.4oz EDT spray will retail at $60 and the 1.7oz EDT spray $45.
