Socola's Signature Selection Chocolate Truffles are oh-so-decadent. The box of 12 artistically beautiful chocolates includes 4 different truffle varieties. Our fav is Burnt Baby Burnt which is a sweet and salty combination of creamy burnt caramel and red Hawaiian sea salt.

We think saving the planet from plastic bottles is a beautiful thing and this glass water bottle by bottlesUp scores high marks. Made from 75% recycled glass and food-grade silicone, its chic design and colorful rings make it a work of art. What's more because it's glass, there is no transfer of taste or odors. A wide mouth makes it easy to fill and clean. The company donates 5% of its pink bottle sales to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation. Additional brightly-colored rings and caps are available for purchase. The bottle holds 22 oz. and retails for $29.95 at bottlesupglass.com.

Many thanks to the folks at Aurorae Yoga, Atmysphere Scents, The Unofficial Mad Men Cookbook, Colorado Aromatics, bottlesUp and Socola Chocolatier for providing the products and images for this feature.
