2011 January- Yay Today!

Easy Street Records: Two chances to win...

Ready for a quick and dirty post? I know I am. So here it is! Photo courtesy of Easy Street Records I love that Easy Street Records has weekly giveaways to lots of different musical acts and venues. This week, they’re taking me back 10 years ago when I was still wearing a dashiki and loved moe. The dashiki is now a dishrag, but moe is still in my heart. Luckily you can check the Buffalo band at the Showbox on the 21st...

Maeva Beauty: GIVEAWAY!!!...

If you’re like me then you’re discovering that the world is made up of 3 kinds of beauty products. 1. I-can’t-believe-I’m-putting-SLS-in-my-hair-beauty-product. 2. It-says-it’s-green-but-why-the-heck-is-Titanium-Dioxide-on-the-label-beauty-product. 3. I-know-exactly-what-I’m-putting-on-my-face-and-body-because-I-made-it-myself-beauty-product.

Cafe Campagne’s Duck Deal...

January is always a bit bleak. I mean, besides dealing with the whole eternal darkness thing, you are also trying to be fiscally responsible (read: stingy) so you can pay off all those holiday expenses. But that doesn’t mean you have to live like a monk- rather, you just have to be smart about finding ways to live it up without spending a lot. Maybe that’s why Cafe Campagne, one of my favorite restaurants in...

Sweat & the City: Free Online Workouts...

Here in Seattle, an inch of snow on the ground seems to equate to a full day of city paralysis. So how do you stay active when the roads are iced over, the buses aren’t running, and it’s way to cold to go for a run outside? The answer, like all good things, is right here on the internet- free workouts from www.sweatandthecity.com. Sweat and the City is the brainchild of Jennifer Jordan, a Seattlite (of...

SPL gets better and better: Free songs through Fre...

I’m of the few that don’t shop for books or CDs or DVDs online. I may get headphones on Amazon, but I’d never buy the latest Kings of Leon CD when I know my trusty SPL (Seattle Public Library) will have it (sorry KOL). And okay, so I may have to wait around for like 2 months on a list – that is if my queue even allows me to thanks to the new 25 limit. Photo courtesy of fredwlandjr But all the rules...

If you’ve gone to any craft show in the last year you’ve seen the fabulous work that is Shower Art – the quirky, totally home made, almost child-like unique decorations for your shower. The mastermind behind bARTer Sauce, EtsySaver and Unanimous Craft, Rosalie teamed up with her hubbie Doug to bring you Shower Art. So what the heck is this Shower Art? Well, when asked for a little bio about these...

I’m a total sucker for screen print, and apparently so is ZoneFour – today’s Etsy feature! Courtesy of ZoneFour If you live in Seattle, love Seattle or just visiting Seattle then this is the Etsy shop for you. From prints to totes to shirts, these guys seem to have a knack for capturing the not so toursity vibe of Seattle. Beyond the Space Needle (although they definitely showcase the popular point of...
