Adventures of a girl on a budget
In 2014 and 2015, I was fortunate enough to get nominated and accepted into an elite group of people: The Yelp Elite Squad. People who are expert reviewers on the website Yelp make up this group (also known as Y.E.S!). As a Y.E.S! member, I was often invited to exclusive events hosted by local businesses. Sometimes, these events featured a launch of a new product, food item or cocktail. Other times, the events simply celebrated the awesome people who make Yelp such a great website. Check out my posts from some of these events as well as reviews for businesses featured for the Y.E.S! team. I was a member of the Elite Squad in both Boston and Chicago. If you are already a member of yelp, I hope the posts encourage you to become part of the group yourself!

It is officially winter here in Chicago, and what meal goes better with the colder months than a hot, steaming bowl of chili to warm you from the inside out? As a member of the Yelp Elite, I recently had the privilege of being invited to the exclusive launch of chili to the menu at […] Read more…
