Even if you didn’t win, we hope you check out one of the upcoming Whole Foods Happy Hours sometime soon.

Twofer Thursday: For the drinkers and farmers in a...

I couldn’t decide which deal I wanted to write about today, so I present you with two equally cool/fun/exciting things to do today. Now, all you have to do is choose! -Get all sneaky at Knee High Stocking Co. from today – Saturday. Why? Because they’ll be celebrating their 2nd anniversary by having yummy drink specials, live performances and a debut of their Spring menu. Remember it’s a speakeasy, so...

City People’s Garden: Free classes that̵...

I’m a Swanson’s girl through and through, but when Miss Aubrey sent me this handy little tip I quickly looked at my Trip Planner to see the fastest route from Ballard to Madison. Luckily, it ain’t too hard – but sometimes gardening can be. Photo courtesy of City People's Garden Store Which varieties are good this time of year? Are beetles supposed to be in my soil? And does that garden pot go with...

Spaaaaaaah: Spa Week is Coming!...

My name is Aubrey and I’m a spa whore. I’ll admit it. When people ask me how my February trip to Thailand was, I immediately answer “It was amazing I got an hour long massage every day for $8,” and that’s only IF I decide to let them finish the question. My dream house plans involve multiple saunas and a robot that rubs knots out of my back without ever getting tired. When I was in college and...

Whole Foods Happy Hour Giveaway...

When it comes to groceries, Whole Foods can certainly be a pricier option than, say, The Grocery Outlet (which I’ve never actually been brave enough to visit), but there are some legitimate reasons to include it in your shopping rotation- personally, I’m a big fan of their house brand, 365 Everyday Value, for reasonably-priced, high-quality staples. But I recently came across another fantastic excuse to visit...

Weekend Round-Up: 3/25-3/27...

Have you guys started putting away your winter gear yet? Yay, me too! I’m of the firm belief that if you do it, the cold and the rain won’t come back for at least another 6 months. With that said, here’s the weekend stuff: -Meet Chocolate Makers and dive into some free fondue at the Chocolopolis at The Braven from 1-9pm -Want some fancy schmancy kitchen stuff at auction prices? Start your bidding this...

Cocktail Classes by Tom Douglas: Worth two Vodka T...

Unless you consider adding cranberry juice to vodka a fancy cocktail, that’s about all I can do when I’m left to my own devices at a party. That said, maybe it’s time that I (and you) start learning a thing or two about making the perfect alcoholic concoction. Photo courtesy of tomdouglas.com Thanks to Tom Douglas, tonight’s the night to learn how to make your very own classy cocktails. Just sign up for Cocktail...

Unclad 2011 Art Show: Free the Inner Woman in You...

Under Unclad’s history and mission page, they explain that they are “ an annual exhibit celebrating the nude figure in art.” This unique art gallery started small in Camano Island, then moved to a larger venue in Stanwood. Featuring over 100 artists from all over North America, Unclad has even had artists from as far away as Denmark, Israel and Australia. Photo courtesty of Unclad And sure, where the heck is Stanwood...

Happy Hour Steals: Pintxo...

I’m a big fan of happy hours- there’s something (probably the cheap alcohol) that makes me feel really warm and fuzzy inside ending a hard day of work with a relaxing drink with friends. Sadly, finding a GOOD happy hour can prove to be way more challenging than it should be- I find it really hard to laugh and gossip when I’m paying full price for a cocktail. So, in true yay-today spirit, we’re going to...

Ivar’s Lets YOU Eat Cake: Birthday Deals!...

I may have officially reached the age where birthdays make me a little bit crazy, and not in a good way. Perhaps I should take a lesson from Ivar Haglund, the founder of Seattle’s local fried-fish and chowder empire, who seems to still be pretty eager to celebrate his birthday tomorrow, even though it means he’ll be turning 106. (Sure, he is technically dead, so I guess that naturally makes the aging process...
