When I received an email from BlogHer asking me if I wanted to review something, I thought awesome. Then when they said it was chocolate, I said, “Seriously? Is that a question you even have to ask?!” THEN they were like you’ll be reviewing M&M’s but not just any M&M’s, they are M&M’s Premiums.

Then I died.

Because really, you want to send me chocolate and ask me to blog about it?

I’ll sell my soul for just plain peanut M&M’s and these are rich, creamy and are prettier. No really, they are like glittery and shiny. Almost too pretty to eat but then you’re like seriously, pretty or not, I’m not about to let M&M’s go to waste especially if they are Raspberry Almond ones! (those were seriously the best ones ever)

I also had to think of a question for a contest so I can hook one of YOU up with this awesome package.

What’s in it you ask? Well, let me tell you!

1 carton of M&M’S® Premiums Raspberry Almond
1 carton of M&M’S® Premiums Chocolate Almond
1 carton of  M&M’S® Premiums Mocha
1 carton of M&M’S® Premiums Triple Chocolate
4 M&M’S® Brand Martini Glasses
1 pack of M&M’S® Premiums Wine Charms

Chocolate, martini glasses and wine charms? The theme of my contest was clear now. What do these things all seem perfect for?

Girls’ Night!

Personally, when I hang out with my BFF we go for a yummy meal, drink some fruity drinks and pop in some dvds. Last time, it was Friends because how can anyone resist 80 hours of laughs?

A few months back I wrote about the Slanket on my personal blog. You can find my post here. Now that I got my hands on one, I figured the right thing to do would be to write a review about the awesomeness that is the Slanket. I really do think it’s the greatest invention ever like my previous post was titled.

Like I said in my post, I’m cold all the time. ALL THE TIME. Really, I’m always layered up and can be found under blankets. The layers also make me look about 10 pounds heavier*. Anyway, now instead of instead of a tank, a long sleeve and a hoodie then my blanket on top of it, I use my Slanket. Why? Because now I don’t have the stupid opening when I’m wrapped up in my blanket that it just doesn’t cover because I’m using my hands.

My blanket has sleeves** so I can continue to stay warm and cozy typing away, reading blogs or gchatting with you lovely people all while under my blanket. I also take my Slanket to the couch to watch tv or read books and lately, instead of using another blanket in bed, I just use it instead.

The details: it’s made of 100% Polyester Microfiber (basically, that it is super, super soft) and it is 60″ x 96″ and has over sized sleeves, it doesn’t pill and is machine washable! It comes in 10 different colors and there are even kids’ sizes available!

The only thing I’m not a fan of is that it catches dog hair so easily. My Edie loves to cuddle up in bed or on the couch with me so I feel like I wash it often. I really don’t mind though because the good definitely outweighs the bad!

(Slanket in action! Can you tell I’m smiling with my eyes? Tyra taught me well!)

Seriously though, the Slanket is awesome. If you’re like me and always cold or know someone who is, this is the thing for you. It seems kind of silly at first but trust me, you won’t know how you lived without it before!

* Yeah, I’m blaming it on the layers! Shut your face.
** duh, blanket + sleeves = Slanket
