Where can you get in a chocolate coma and drink unlimited, delicious Gallo wine?
Can’t think of anywhere, huh? Me neither! 😉
I was so thankful and excited to be invited to an afternoon of indulgent moments hosted by DOVE and iVillage last month. I wrote about the event a few days before the festivities and was happy a few of the people that commented enjoyed their time there as well.
Once I got to Chelsea market, I found a few friends (Ofelia, Tracey & Issa) that were there already. It was my first time in Chelsea market so I was amazed but since I had my 5 year old with me and a goodie bag from another event, I didn’t remember to take any pictures.
When we got inside, I saw many people lounging on comfortable sofas, drinking wine, eating chocolate, laughing, talking and just having a good ol’ time.
The first thing I noticed was the hand massage station.
I immediately decided to get that done first. After the lovely massage, I went downstairs to try some of the chocolates and taste some fine wine.
They had different types of wine. From Merlot to Pinot Grigio and a few others. The wine I tasted was the Merlot. It tasted wonderfully with the dark chocolate. Dove really knows how to pair wine with the different types of chocolate. I had no idea that it was something people did. You see, I’m not a wine drinker. I’m more of a water/soda person. I don’t drink alcohol so this event was a special treat for me.
They also had a beauty station where they were giving women free mini-makeovers. I didn’t take advantage of that because my daughter was getting tired.
After a taste of great wine, I went over to try out the Dove hot chocolate that was right by the wine. I was in heaven. It tasted so rich and creamy; kind of like melted chocolate pudding but with a much better flavor. After I drank the hot choclate, I mingled a little bit, took some pictures with my friends and left with a cute goodie bag with Dove chocolates inside (of course!).
All and all, it was a fabulous and relaxing time. Thanks Dove, Gallo Wines and iVillage for a great time!
Full Disclosure: I was invited by iVillage to cover this event. No monetary compensation was given and all opinions are mine.
