Happy Valentine’s Day everyone! Here at the Chocolate Factory, and pretty much the entire Northeast, the forecast is snow, snow, more snow and oh yeah- some freezing rain. But, being the plucky mint masters we so proudly are, it was going to take a lot more than the winter blues to dampen our Valentine’s Day (or stop blog Wednesdays for that matter)! Today after the requisite water cooler gossip on who got flowers, who’s taking their sweetheart to dinner where, and other juicy details we finally settled down and got to work. As we waited patiently by the phones carrying on with our daily duties it soon became clear, a SNOW DAY had been officially called and was in full effect. There really was no bigger hint than the snow plows crawling down Railroad Place, and we just had to celebrate!

Pictured in front of the Chocolate Factory are Eric, Delpha (me!), and Henry – our intern Cat took the pictures.

We hope all of you have had a safe and wonderful Valentine’s Day whether you’re one half of a “we”, swearing “its complicated”, or flying solo with your best friends. Enjoy the pics!

Valentine’s Day is right around the corner, and Oral Fix aficionados in the New York metro area better watch out for cupid’s arrow at the Human Rights Gala on February 10th! Why? Well, Oral Fixation’s Fabulous Fruit will be making a dazzling appearance at the event for starters, and what better way to celebrate the love-ly holiday than supporting everyone’s right to love and be loved? Among the speakers for the evening are: New York senator Hilary Clinton, director Ang Lee, actresses Rosie O’Donnell and Anne Hathaway, actors Alan Cummings and Nathan Lane, and designer Kenneth Cole just to name a few. We are proud to support such a noteworthy cause and the nation’s largest civil rights organization. Our delicious Fabulous Fruit mints (engraved with a heart) will be featured in the gift bags for the event. Plus, photos of the black tie gala which is being held at the über posh Waldorf-Astoria, will be posted on Daily Fix after the event so be sure to check back! What are we loving? The Heatherette tees designed exclusively for the Human Rights Campaign with the words ‘Love is Real’, shop here.

But don’t worry if you can’t make it to the event, or even get a cool new tee, there’s always Oral Fixation Mints to show you care! Try our Fabulous Fruit for your sweetheart, or even 7 deadly cinnamon for a spicy secret admirer…its all up to you! XOXO peace and love from the Chocolate Factory.
