Chocolate treats from QVC

Indulgence is good for us, really it is.

QVC, a veritable monument to retail, is offering dozens of calorie-free ways to pamper ourselves -- or give as gifts to the people we would like to make feel special.

Two treats blend fashionably in QVC's signature chocolate gold collection. Fashion-forward two-inch polished round hoops are big and bold, but astonishly light and comfortable. Their warm look is created by layering chocolate brown plating over 14k gold. The hoops are currently priced at $109.

Another non-edible treat worth trying is the Chocolate Mocha Body Scrub, a decadent way to soften and exfoliate the skin. Well priced at $18 for a 13-ounce tub, the scrub combines two glorious smells -- chocolate and coffee -- and gently buffs the skin. The scrub also includes concentrations of Vitamins C and E, organic grape seed and black currant oil. Rinse well (with a dark-colored wash cloth to avoid possible staining) and follow up with a good moisturizer to keep that spa sensibility going.
