INGRID MICHAELSON: Girls and Boys

First to recommend

Description

If you're not swooning over her voice yet, you're late. Sure, her songs tend toward the depressing, but they're great.
I just saw her live last night, and she is even better stripped down, with just her clear melodic voice flying out over the crowd (plus a ukulele and guitar or piano). Not only does she sing like a nightingale, but she's adorable as all get out and even acts as a bit of a stand up comic. I want her to be my best friend. Seriously.
If you like even one of her songs and see she's performing in your area, get your tickets now. She'll be huge soon and you can say you got to see her perform for a crowd of 100 or whatever. And who doesn't like knowing about things first?
You're in for a super treat if you see her with Greg Laswell (the clown in her "The Way I Am" video, who is very talented himself). Again, he is even better when there is minimal back up to hide his sexy crooning and haunting (and yes, depressing, again) song writing. Can you tell I'm smitten?

Citysearch what? Move into the 21st century folks. Not only can you get reviews for restaurants all over the US, if you're new to a city with an active Yelp community it's a great way to meet people.
Part restaurant review site, part friendster, all awesome.

The spelling is ridiculous. The photos are the best. The combination of horribly spelled caption with outrageous picture makes me laugh out loud at lease twice a week.

Christopher Elbow Chocolates / Artisanal Chocolate Art

First to recommend

2 people recommended this item

Description

More expensive per pound than gold* - these chocolates are definitely a treat and a splurge. Each decadent art piece is $2, and only you can decide if they're worth it.
What I can tell you is that the fillings are so silky smooth and perfectly flavored, the chocolate is delicious, and they look beautiful. Oh, and that I ate five of the little buggers in an hour.
If you're buying a box, you'll be thrilled with what you receive; they look more like baubles and gems than standard chocolate truffles.
I have big plans to buy just one each for some of my favorite valentines this year and wrap them in some adorable way.

Seriously? The BEST cupcakes I have ever had.
The chocolate cake ones (with any frosting so far) beat out the others, but wow. I mean, just wow.

GreenDimes

First to recommend

Description

Stop junkmail. Save trees. This is their slogan, and I love them for it. For just $20, GreenDimes will help you get your name off of those junkmail lists to reduce waste, AND will plant trees for you to boot.
Only $10 to refresh at the end of the year.
I don't know about you but I hate dealing with all the junk that clogs up my mailbox, and I am so thrilled about this service. I've already signed up myself and given it as a gift.
