Weekend Round-Up: March 18-20

Weekend Round-Up: March 18-20...

About this time of year everyone starts to get a little on edge. It’s rained a bit too much, the sun isn’t coming up until 7am and no one still can’t figure out how to drive. But the one thing we all have to look forward to is this nice little thing we like to call the weekend. Enjoy. -We’re gonna keep telling you about Free Truffle Friday until you tell us you’ve had some. - Friday, March 18 is Daffodil Day at...

Swap Everything: Valuable sites for all your swapp...

If you’re a true Yay-Today enthusiast then you’re already subscribed to the totally awesome Freecycle. You’ve probably had your fair share of “who the heck wants someone’s half used deodorant stick” entries and maybe some “can I pretty please be the first person to claim your grandmother’s singer sewing machine?” requests, and for that I will constantly get their daily emails.

St. Patricks Day Celebrations on the Cheap

St. Patricks Day Celebrations on the Cheap...

St. Patrick’s Day is Thursday, March 17th, which means that Friday, March 18th is probably a good day to work from home. Since the Irish are a famously frugal bunch (that’s how they save up those pots of gold), you should do your part to honor their good example by keeping your St. Patty’s Day celebrations on the cheap. Here are some of my favorite promotions: photo courtesy of flickr user...

Eat for a Cause: Local Restaurants Donate Profits to Recovery Efforts in Japan

Eat for a Cause: Local Restaurants Donate Profits ...

Eating out isn’t exactly the best way to save money, so we try and encourage people to save it for special occasions. Well, when a bunch of local restaurants band together to donate proceeds- 100% of their proceeds, to be exact- to help aid victims of the slew of natural disasters that have happened in Japan recently, that’s a pretty special occasion. That’s why I want to help spread the word that local...

Happy Pi Day!

Happy Pi Day!...

Quick- what’s the first thing that comes to your mind when you see 3.14? If you were just staring at a calendar, you might remember that today is March 14. If you are kind of a geometry geek, you probably thought of pi, one of the most popular constants in all of mathematics. And if you’re me, you probably thought SWEET POTATO! Confused? That’s my very most favorite flavor of pie. Yum. See, March 14, or...

Weekend Round-Up: 3/11-3/13

Weekend Round-Up: 3/11-3/13...

Why am I excited about the weekend? Well, besides the obvious (no work! fun! friends! naps!), this weekend marks the return to Daylight Savings Time, which means the darkest part of the year will officially be over (and my mood will officially improve for the next 9 months). If that isn’t good enough for you buy itself, this weekend seems to be filled with opportunities for free and cheap food, which is frankly my very...

The Consumer’s Conflict: The Cost of Eating the Way Nature Intended

The Consumer’s Conflict: The Cost of Eating the ...

For a lot of us, especially those of us who live in metro areas with a strong hippie influence, eating meat is a lot more complicated than deciding between the double cheeseburger and the double-bacon cheeseburger. It certainly is for me- I was a vegetarian until I was 25 and have still never taken the plunge into beef, but my post-vegetarian guilt now has me buying most of meat from local farmers like Thundering Hooves and...

Happy Hour for Hope: Music, Booze and Helping

Happy Hour for Hope: Music, Booze and Helping...

Today is Ash Wednesday, which means two things: 1) it’s the beginning of Lent (and the day when the Jesus-lovers and guilt-ridden children of Jesus-lovers like me walk around with dirt on their foreheads all day and make earnest promises to give up something until Easter but secretly know that they’ll fall off the wagon in t-minus 11 days), and 2) it’s a day when all of us (Christian-ish or not) often wake...

20 for 20: Elaia Spa has a Happy Hour

20 for 20: Elaia Spa has a Happy Hour...

The uber fancy Elaia is also uberly pricey. So, you wouldn’t see the likes of me there when I know I can go do Diamond Nails and get my toes and fingers done just as nice for cheaper than the cost of a manicure at Elaia. But this is supposed to be a good review, right? Right. Photo courtesy of Termin8er I was quite pleased to learn that the hoity toity salon is featuring a very amazing happy hour. For just $20 you can get...
