While you’re reading this, we hope that you’re indulging in some chocolate. After all, it’s the one day you shouldn’t feel guilty for doing so (not that we do on other days anyway).

Carol Boyes is best known for her exquisite tableware and home accessories. And now she has extended her range to include chocolate as well, specifically milk and dark chocolate varieties!

Since today is about all things chocolate, here are 3 interesting facts about chocolate that you may not have known:

1. Smelling chocolate increases your theta brain waves, resulting in relaxation.
2. Dark chocolate contains antioxidants, which help in reducing blood pressure.
3. In 2013, to celebrate chocolate as their national delicacy, Belgium created a limited amount of chocolate-flavoured postage stamps.

So what are you waiting for? If you’re keen to try Carol Boyes’ new collection, head over to one of her retail stores today, and don’t forget to let us know what you think!
