This entertaining and fun series written by British author, Sophie Kinsella, is a MUST read. There are a total of five books in the series at the moment. The one pictured above is the first in the series, "Confessions of Shopaholic." Next is "Shopaholic Takes Manhattan", "Shopaholic Ties the Knot", "Shopaholic and Baby." and "Shopaholic and Sister." While the titles aren't that fantastic---don't let it stop you because you will fall in love with the main character Becky Bloomwood and the story by the first few pages.
So if you want to curl up by the fireplace this winter with a great new book---go read "Confessions of a Shopaholic" before the movie comes out in February!
I've been hearing the buzz about Yogurtland, now that they are popping up all around the city. So I knew it was time to try it myself! My preconceived notion of this place was that it was a self serve fantasy land of yogurt and toppings. And while it kind of is- it was different than I imagined. It is very similar to pink berry in decor and choices of toppings---but there are also MANY more flavors ranging from the fruits to the desserty flavors (Chocolate, peanut butter, cookies and cream). Plus they do have a wider range of toppings. The place is very much a mix of a typical frozen yogurt place (i.e. Penguins) and the new "pinkberry-esq" rage. So when you go in, you pick up your cup and fill it up to your hearts desire of flavors and toppings (keeping in mind you are charged by weight). It turned out to be much cheaper than Pinkberry so that was definitely a plus! It was a little tricky to get tastes--they keep the mini cups in the front. So make sure you do that first- since there are so many flavors it is hard to choose.
