Palmer’s Own Hot Hot Chocolate Shoppe! February 19th, 2011
The Hot Hot Chocolate Shoppe is located in the Downtown Palmer Plaza, across from the Palmer Downtown Deli. This local specialty shop offers delectable chocolate goodies including chocolates, hot drinking chocolate, gourmet baking products, hand-made soap and scrubs. Their delicious chocolates are made with organic fair trade chocolate and local cream from Matanuska Creamery and Valley-roasted coffee beans!
There is a wide selection of specialty truffles, chocolate covered cookies and pretzels, giant peanut butter cups
and more. If you can’t find a treat you fancy, ask and they will make most special requests. The owner Tai Duhamel has developed many unique recipes over the years featuring unusual ingredients like ginger, cayenne, tea, rose, lavender and curry. You will also find the wonderful classics like caramel, nuts, mint, sea salt and much more!
The Hot Hot Chocolate Shoppe also offers a selection of gluten-free products dipped in chocolate. Due to family with food allergies, the owner has made it possible for those with allergies to enjoy the sweetness!

Arctic Chiropractic: Life is Better When You are Pain Free!! February 7th, 2011
Arctic Chiropractic has been serving the valley for three years and their future looks bright. They are located in the same building as Peak Fitness, on the corner of Palmer-Wasilla Hwy and Hemmer Road.
I (Amber) am a patient there and am more pleased with the results and progress then ever before. I have spent thousands of dollars for just a quick crack of the spine at other chiropractors in the past. I feel fortunate to have found such a wonderful outfit that takes care of my needs, with an affordable price! I can tell now when I’m not aligned because my spine feels like grinding gears. But after an adjustment at Arctic Chiropractic, there is so much relief that I even breath better!
You will find treatment at Arctic Chiropractic is everything but the “fast food” experience.
In two months I have seen huge progress in range of motion and muscle stability along with physical capabilities improving. Dr. Dwayne Engelbrecht is a delight and always takes the time to listen to my needs and progress. He remembers me and anticipates what is next in my recovery. It is extremely refreshing to have a doctor really in-tune with what is happening with my body. At Arctic Chiropractic you can tell they truly love what they do!
On staff today was the wonderful Carleigh
who is always ready to work with me. She is kind and considerate on the phone and always helps me schedule an appointment at a time most convenient for me.
Arctic Chiropractic offers a full range of services including Spinal & Postural Screenings, Massage Therapy, Nutritional Counseling, Lifestyle Advice, Corrective Exercises, and unforgettable Chiropractic Care!
