I am obsessed with Yelp! I love that even though it is a site full of reviews, that it's definitely an amazing community to bring people together! I love adding my two cents in and when I want to know about a vegetarian Thai restaurant, I placed this on a chat board and was directed to someone's personal list of Thai veggie places! This is such a great community and it is one where people are always listing events! If you have yet to check this out, you should and of course it's perfect for wherever you live! I have some items from Orlando (recent trip) and obviously NYC! In addition, this is not just about food, it's also about any place you go to that others should know about, My goal is to add items to this list that no one has ever covered! If you're on Yelp, let me know and I would love to add you!

I love a great find and there is nothing like sharing it with others! This week I have a lot of goodies to share with you and I am kicking iit off with the Fundraising in Style. Being a designer myself, I love supporting those who put themselves out there and with 10% of the proceeds of your purchases going to support music, art and more - your affordable splurges will go far in maintaining those who wish to remain creative! Take a peek and I hope to see you there this Thursday!

I love going away for the weekend and yet it leaves you working super hard before you leave and then playing catch up once you get back! With that being said and with Thanksgiving being days away and counting, I am finishing up the holiday guide (yes I know some people were "left out" but it was moreso an issue of having so many responses and keeping the formats going) and also prepping for other goodies for this year and slight format changes for next year. Paul and I had an amazing time this weekend in that we hung out and we got to talk about where we are going with projects that are soon to be revealed. In light of all the good stuff, today's post is me saying howdy and you can catch me on Twitter @Cocoabebe!

In addition, today there is a great sale going on at Idlewild Bookstore in Union Square, if you're in the area you need to go. Idlewild Books is a travel related bookstore which has amazing gifts. If you're at 12 West 19th St in NYC, you'll enjoy the amazing sale which is perfect for your next trip and also holiday gifts as well. I love that today they have had 20% off on all books but for you late risers and pseduo late owls, from noon to 7pm, you can enjoy 40% off travel accessories! Support a local bookstore who is indie who has an interesting selection and events that bring literature and other interests together as well.
