Weekend Round-Up: The New Year’s Eve Edition

Weekend Round-Up: The New Year’s Eve Edition...

2010, we hardly knew you.  Or at least it felt that way.  Whether 2010 made your personal “Top 10 Best Years Ever” list or not, it’s coming to an end tomorrow at midnight.  And while some people may want to celebrate by forking over hundreds of dollars to attend a fancy party with a bunch of gyrating strangers, we’re celebrating yay-today style- good friends, lots of food, and some cheap bubbly....

If you’re back at work, you’re probably still recovering from all the holiday hoopla. Your mind might be wondering off to all those presents you got, or dealing with your drunk Uncle or that extra cookie you shouldn’t have eaten. Well, here’s your chance to take a long lunch break and get away from another mindless morning where nothing is really going on until January anyway. Just head to The...

An Etsy feature: Sugar and Salt Kitchen...

Now that the holidays are officially over, you should be sick and tired of candies and cookies and sweets by now, right? Wrong. Who gets sick of delicious treats?! Especially when they come from West Seattle’s very own Sugar and Salt Kitchen. Started a lot like many Etsy shops these days, John was laid off from his job at The Essential Bakery and needed a way to earn a living. That’s when he noticed that The...

It’s true- the gift-giving holidays are over.  No more presents to exchange or large groups of family in tiny tiny spaces to endure.  You can breathe. Of course, if family tension has put a permanent crick in your neck, or if you overindulged in Christmas cookies (and pie, and stuffing, and say, a wheel of Brie that you ate all by yourself yesterday), breathing may feel a little more difficult today.  And if...

Let’s face it: it’s the middle of December, you’re almost broke and your skin is looking less dewy than normal.  I know the feeling.  And while I try and do the best I can by washing my face with homemade olive oil cleanser, scrubbing it with a nifty mixture of cornmeal and ground oatmeal, and slathering it with coconut oil every morning, it’s just not cutting it.
