Swellness Sundays

(Anything I find swell. Posted on Sundays. Real scientific, I know…)

In case you were wondering, Bakelab’s cookies are just as delicious as their doughnuts. I don’t even usually like chocolate baked goods, but I become Cookie Monster (crumbs everywhere and all) with these.

One is chocolate thumbprint with salted caramel, another is nut and cocoa nib sandwich cookie with homemade nutella, and the third is some delectable ginger-y something or another.

And the little trio of them made for a mightly fine Christmas breakfast 🙂

Screen time

Those hours you spend poring over clothing on Net-A-Porter and Gilt may bring about having to order a bigger clothing size–and not just thanks to being sedentary.

It seems that time in front of your computer screen can make you crave chocolate, says new research from the University of Copenhagen. The women in the study who did a task on a computer consumed an extra 230 calories compared to women who just kicked back during the same amount of time. The researchers believe that the mental stress of the computer work may trigger changes in blood sugar and hormone levels that trick the brain into thinking it has worked off lots of calories that need replaced.
