NATIONAL TRUFFLE DAY

National Truffle Day on May 2 serves up a deliciously sweet treat and places the chocolate truffle in the spotlight.

N. Petruccelli of Chambery, France, is believed to be the inventor of the chocolate truffle in December 1895. Truffles became much more prevalent in 1902 after the Prestat Chocolate Shop opened in London. In fact, Prestat still sells “Napoleon III” truffles made from the original recipe.

Traditionally, chocolatiers make this sweet confection with a chocolate ganache center coated in chocolate, icing, cocoa powder, chopped nuts, or coconut. Oftentimes, they may fill the truffle with other yummy surprises. Some candy makers include cream, melted chocolate, caramel, nuts, fruit, nougat, fudge, toffee, mint, marshmallow, or liqueur.

Just wrapped my shows for April — and most likely my last show from this building in St. Petersburg. We’ve made a lot of memories here, we are truly a family after working together for many of us more than half our lives. I was in this building as a show host for 22 years and now as a designer with my own brand for almost 5. Its definitely home to me and I will miss so much about it, but most of all, I will miss the people that I have had the honor to work with and more importantly be a family with. We will always be connected ❤️I spotted this butterfly mural on the way out and had to stop. It felt right — a little nod to change, growth, and new chapters.

April was Customer Appreciation Month, but the truth is, I appreciate you every day. Whether you’ve been with me from the start as a show host or just discovered my line, your support means everything.

Thanks for showing up, for cheering me on, and for letting my jewelry be a small part of your life. Love you and will see you from where our next chapter takes us, the beautiful campus of QVC on May 20th @4p.

George Michael Lyrics
“I Can’t Make You Love Me”

Turn down the lights
Turn down the bed
Turn down these voices
Inside my head

Lay down with me
Tell me no lies
Just hold me close
Don’t patronize

Don’t patronize me

‘Cause I can’t make you love me
If you don’t
You can’t make your heart feel
Something that it won’t

Here in the dark
In these final hours
I will lay down my heart
And I’ll feel the power

But you won’t
No you won’t
‘And I can’t make you love me
If you don’t

I’ll close my eyes
Then I won’t see
The love you do not feel
When you’re holding me

Morning will come
And I’ll do what’s right
Just give me ’til then
To give up this fight

And I will give up this fight

‘And I can’t make you love me
If you don’t
You can’t make your heart feel
Something that it won’t

And here in the dark
In these final hours
I will lay down my heart
And I’ll feel the power

But you won’t
No you won’t
‘And I can’t make you love me
If you don’t

Ain’t no use in you trying
It’s no good for me, baby
Without love

All my tears, all these years
Everything
I believed in
Baby

Oh yeah

Someone’s gonna love me

@shoelady60,

Your wish is my command enjoy. 😎🎈😘

Oz will have rain in an hour. Be safe tonight and sleep well.

Be sure to check on Mom. 😘😎

George Michael Lyrics
“Don’t Let The Sun Go Down (On Me)”
(feat. Elton John)

[George Michael:]
I can’t light no more of your darkness
All my pictures seem to fade to black and white
I’m growin’ tired, and time stands still before me
Frozen here on the ladder of my life

It’s much too late to save myself from fallin’
I took a chance and changed your way of life
But you misread my meanin’ when I met you
Closed the door and left me blinded by the light

Don’t let the sun go down on me, yeah
Although I search myself, it’s always someone else I see
I’d just allow a fragment of your life to wander free, oh
But losin’ everything is like the sun goin’ down on me

Ladies and gentlemen, Mr. Elton John

[Elton John, George Michael:]
I can’t find, oh, the right romantic line
But see me once and see the way I feel
Don’t discard me (Baby, no)
Just because you think I mean you harm
(Just because you think I mean you harm, no)
But these cuts I have (Cuts I have)
They need love (They need love, they need love)
To help them heal, oh

Don’t let the sun go down on me
Although I search myself, it’s always someone else I see
I’d just allow a fragment of your life to wander free, oh
‘Cause losin’ everything is like the sun goin’ down on me

Don’t let the sun go down on me
Although I search myself, it’s always someone else that I see, yeah
I’d just allow a fragment of your life to wander free, baby, oh
‘Cause losin’ everything is like the sun goin’ down on me

[George Michael:]
Mr. Elton John
