Chocolate SquaresChocolate is one of the Fab Five premium goods along with: caviar, cheese, cigars, and champagne. As a savionaire with discerning taste, you have to know how to properly select and savor premium chocolate. Savionaire will do the selecting for you; the rest is up to you.

Savionaire’s Top 3 Brands of Organic Chocolate Bars:

* Theo Chocolate is the only organic, Fair Trade, bean-to-bar chocolate factory in the United States. If you like a strong flavor, the Costa Rica Origin Bar is just for you considering it contains 91% dark chocolate. For a more exotic flavor, try the Spicy Chile Bar. It’s the right combination of 70% dark chocolate, guajillo chile, cinnamon, pasilla chile, and citrus.

* Endangered Species Chocolate donates 10% of its net profits to help support species, habitat, and humanity. The Organic Smooth Dark Chocolate Bar has a 70% cacao content. It’s certified organic, vegan, gluten-free, and kosher. Chocolate lovers can savor this delicious bar while saving the planet.

* Dagoba Organic Chocolate is on a mission to create exceptional chocolate…and they don’t dissappoint. If your taste buds desire pure, unsweetened chocolate, then the Prima Materia Bar is the perfect fit. For some, a 100% cacao bar is too intense. Don’t worry because the Conacado Bar with a Dominican Republic origin is sweeter at 73% cacao. Another milder choice is the New Moon Bar (not the Twilight film) with a 74% cacao content.

This spring, BMW will write the latest chapter in the story of the world’s first Sports Activity Vehicle®, the BMW X5. Originally launched for the 2000 model year, the BMW X5 permanently changed the automotive landscape. For 2011, the BMW X5 models are enhanced with new powertrains and updated design. The body design is characterized by well-balanced proportions that accentuate the vehicle’s powerful presence and agility. A long wheelbase, short front and rear body overhangs, and large light-alloy wheels provide a visual balance between the front and rear of the vehicle. Square-shaped, carefully flared wheel arches hint at the X5’s all-wheel drive traction and other-roads capability. The body lines sweep upwards from the front and rear wheels, communicating BMW’s near-perfect 50-50 front-rear weight distribution which is so essential to the X5’s legendary driving dynamic. WOW! The 2011 BMW X5 is the true Sports Activity Vehicle® for savionaires.

THE BESPOKE MULTIVITAMIN

in Fitness, Health & Grooming

Vegetables Are you getting 3-5 servings of organic vegetables daily? Since savionaires are on the go, most of you are not. Therefore, you may want to supplement your diet with a multivitamin. However, just any multivitamin won’t do. You have to choose the one that best fits who you are (male/female, young/older) and the the type of lifestyle you are living (active versus sedentary). The Dietary Supplement Helper is an excellent tool to help you set up a program designed to help you maintain your health and prevent nutritional deficiencies. Once you figure out which supplements are best for you, take the Multivitamin 15-Question Quiz to see how your multivitamin should measure up.

Thema’s Tip: Calcium citrate absorbs better than calcium carbonate. Also, try drinking your vitamins versus swallowing them.

KING OF WHISKY

0 comments

in Fine Living, Dining & Étiquette

ScotchWhisky is a popular spirit. There are several types of whiskies, but the four most popular are: Bourbon (American Whiskey), Canadian Whisky, Irish Whiskey, and Scotch (Scottish Whisky). Just like how Champagne can only be called “Champagne” if it comes from the French region, laws require anything that is going to be called “Scotch” be distilled in Scotland and matured for at least three years in Spanish or American oak casks. Scotch whiskies are divided into five main regions: Campbellton, Highland/The Islands, Islay, Lowland, and Speyside. My favorite King of Whisky - and signature drink - is Macallan 18 Years Old. This $140 a bottle classic is a must-try for any savionaire who wants to get introduced to the perfect Scotch.
