Guess Who's Coming to TEDx Port of Spain 2012?!!!!

[Source]

The lovely Afrobella that's who!!!! I'm so excited to get the chance to meet this fellow Trini Naturalista Blogger and listen to her live for the very first time. I am also excited to be able to participate in my first TEDx experience, that is if they will have me. You see, you have to apply to be considered to purchase a ticket for the event, I guess because demand is that high. Tickets are $300 but there are bursaries available which you can request if the price is too steep for you. Visit the TEDx Port of Spain site for more details and to get tickets and I hope to see some of you there on 12.12.12 as we explore the theme of "Courage"!! Leave a comment if you will be there and pray for me that I'm selected to get a ticket!

This Thanksgiving will be the first in a loooooooong time (nearly a decade lol) that I have not celebrated in the US and to be honest, I'm feeling a little nostalgic right about now. :( So to pretend like I am engaging in the festivities I compiled some useful links for those of you looking for holiday shopping deals.
