TGIF

I'm really excited about a new online store opening up the first week of January. Our Paper Shop is a collaborative effort by graphic designer and knitter Emma Robertson and graphic and web designer Bre Radermacher. They've given their blog followers a sneak peek at what they can expect when the paper store opens . . .

I can't wait to see what else is in store when Our Paper Shop launches - they said their inventory will include the above calendars as well as stationery, postcards and custom-designed stamps. In the meantime, they have launched another feature of their shop, monthly desktop downloads. You can download them for your computer background as well as for your iPhone and/or iPad. This is what December's looks like (I have it on my iPhone as we speak) . . .

Friends & Fro Yo

The other night I was in Northridgeville with my friends Kate. We took a trip to Little Hong Kong for some awesome Chinese food. Then we were in desperate pursuit of some frozen yogurt so we head to Westlake where we saw a sign for Spoon Me (I'm a sucker for awkward named businesses). Sadly, Spoon Me was closed. But Kate and I trudge through the rain and found the best surprise EVER! The fro yo chain called Menchies.

So all you do is grab a bowl, fill it with fro yo, toppings and then you pay by the ounce.

So awesome!

Here is Kate enjoying our awesome discovery.

Frozen burritos, take two

I'm all about quick, easy lunches that don't require a lot of early morning prep on my end so I've been trying to track down some Evol burritos ever since Becky posted about them. And after a long afternoon spent driving around looking for the Acme Evol mislabled on their map, I found out the Acme they really meant doesn't have any. However, I may have discovered a couple alternatives you might find helpful.

Since moving to New York City, my friend Michelle has done a lot of her grocery shopping at Trader Joe's and she said she definitely recommends the Trader Joe's frozen burritos. Road trip to Cleveland with me, anyone?

A coworker has been bringing Amy's frozen burritos to work for lunch lately, and every day I wish I had one too. They're vegetarian-friendly and feature a lot of organic ingredients so major plus on the healthy side. Plus, you can get them at Giant Eagle or most grocery stores so they shouldn't be too hard to find.

Here's to quick, easy and delicious lunches . . .

Grab Some Sparkle

Dana Kellin has a new line at Target. All the pieces are super classy and they all start at like $9. Perfect for any holiday occasion.

I love Taylor

I love Taylor Swift, and I have never been afraid to admit that. I could listen to her nonstop every day of the week and not get tired of it. I was pretty excited to find out she released a few new singles on iTunes about a month ago, and she followed that up with a new music video for one of them.

"Ours" debuted last week, and I was pleasantly surprised to see one of my favorite guys Zach Gilford (Matt Saracen from "Friday Night Lights") starring in the music video alongside Taylor. So here's Taylor Swift's latest music video, and make sure to check out those three new singles ("Ours," "Superman" and "If This Was a Movie") on iTunes.

TGIF — A square a day!

Happy Friday! I just discovered this healthy fix to my desperate need for chocolate from TCHO. Each jar has 30 little bars one for everyday of the month.

This would make a great gift.

Send some holiday love

Still searching for Christmas cards to send to your nearest and dearest? I love these cards from Dean Penn.

I love the illustrations (how adorable!), and the cards are clean and simple. Plus, you can get your cards customized with your family's name if you'd like. So head on over to Etsy and spread some holiday cheer.
