Mariebelle New York

Good new for fans of MarieBelle New York Hot Chocolate! We just received a shipment which includes hot chocolates as well as chocolate bars. 

MarieBelle's famous Aztec Hot Chocolate is made from the richest single origin Colombian Cocoa (60-70%).  This isn't your typical grocery store stuff- MarieBelle is made with pure chocolate, rather than simply alkalized cocoa powder-- which is the main ingredient in mass produced hot cocoa.
We especially love the White Hot Chocolate with Vanilla- a divinely decant treat which is simply prepared European-style with the addition of hot water.  That's why their drinks are called hot chocolate--not hot cocoa.


Who wouldn't love a tin of Mariebelle Hot Chocolate this Valentine's Day?

Introducing the MANDLE (candle for men)!


Introducing a new line of candles, Homewerx is pleased to introduce Delirium and Co., as featured in the following New York Times Magazine Article

Blue Period Candles is supposedly the first line inspired by and created for men. According to Anthony Carro, the owner of Candle Delirium in Los Angeles as well as the creator of the line, the scents are more bold than “girly,” and took over 18 months to perfect. “I didn’t want my candles to smell like anything that already exists,” he said. The fragrances — Blue Absinthe, Samurai Woods and Royal Amber, to name a few — are so rich and layered, they could stand on their own as colognes. Carro’s favorite is Suede & Smoke, which evokes a dark den with a smoky, charred fireplace and a plush, well-loved leather armchair. The soy-based wax, encased in handmade dark blue glass with a mirrored interior, provides a long-lasting, soot-free burn.
