And The New Galaxy Girl Is...

I know this Isn’t beauty related but I just had to share this with you!

Galaxy chocolate have revealed today the new face of their yummy chocolate, and you’ll never guess who it is!

(Well you will if you’ve seen the photos on this post!)

Galaxy have brought back to life, the one and only Audrey Hepburn and this Sunday 24^th February sees her return to our  screens in their new advertising campaign which will be aired during ITV1’s Mr Selfridge.

The star is brought back to life using cutting edge post-production CGI techniques, to create what appears to be never-before-seen footage of Audrey in a GALAXY® advert.

Set in the 1950s on Italy’s Amalfi Coast, the setting is reminiscent of the romantic look and feel of award-winning classics that shot Audrey to fame. 

The narrative sees Audrey, a beautiful young girl, sitting on a crowded bus wondering when she will have the chance to enjoy the GALAXY® chocolate bar hidden in her handbag. 

As a car pulls up alongside, she catches the handsome driver’s eye and, to the surprise of her fellow passengers, seizes the opportunity to leave the bus to savour her GALAXY® chocolate in the comfort of the car’s back seat. 

As the handsome ‘chauffeur’ drives them into the distance, the end-frame reminds viewers that with its silky, smooth taste, GALAXY® is a pleasure worth taking.

Audrey Hepburn’s sons, Sean Ferrer and Luca Dotti, commented:

 “Our mother often spoke about her love of chocolate and how it lifted her spirit so we're sure she would have been proud of her role as the face of GALAXY®.  

The advert perfectly captures her playful spirit and we hope audiences enjoy it as much as they enjoyed her movies."

I love Audrey, I love Galaxy and I LOVE this advert!

Make sure you tune in to ITV1 on sunday from 9pm to catch it!

ohso : Chocolate That's Good For You (really!)

Chocolate is good for you.

That’s a statement you’d not often hear, unless someone was referring to that 75% plus, bitter as hell stuff that tries to pass itself off as chocolate by hiding in the chocolate aisles in the supermarket.

Bleurgh.

  

But seriously ladies, chocolate can be good for you thanks to a brand called ohso.

Each bar of their dark Belgian chocolate contains your optimum daily amount of probiotic, which help to keep your digestive system healthy, and in turn, you happy.

  Bear with me. 

The gluten, wheat and cholesterol free chocolate bar contains around a billion good bacteria, Is 3 times more effective at delivering the good bacteria to your intestines and to top it all off, is only 72 calories a bar.

 Sounds too good to be true right?

Well actually, wrong.

Available in packs of 7 (handy for your 1 a day allowance!) the chocolate is actually rather yummy.

Dark but not bitter, smooth and flavoursome, you wouldn’t even know that it was packed full of good stuff!

 After encouraging my friends at work to try it, the verdict was that the chocolate was ‘actually quite nice’. 

Now let me point one thing out. 

A family size bar of Cadburys this ‘aint. In fact, its not even a regular size bar. But then what do you expect for 72 calories?

That said, I found that the richness of the chocolate is enough to satisfy your craving and you can munch away safe in the knowledge that for once, your choccie eating is actually doing you some good!

ohso is available online from their website and from Harvey Nichols Food Halls, Ocado, Tesco owned  Nutri Centre and health food stores as well as independent retailers nationwide. 

ohso bars cost £3.99 for a pack of 7, 13.5g bars and are now also available in Orange flavour.
