Built for Man Presents Bako: A Taste of Fashion

Built for Man Presents Bako: A Taste of Fashion...

Dear men of Seattle, Hey there. It’s time we sat down and had a talk. You know that I love you, right? Okay good. Because while you have a lot of qualities that I find irresistible, like how you are always around to fix my computer and the fact that I never have to feel self-conscious about how pale I am when I stand next to you, there is one thing that’s been driving me crazy for a while now. It’s your...
Short and Sweet: The Coolest Thing You’ll Do This Week

Short and Sweet: The Coolest Thing You’ll Do...

I’m not gonna go on and on about my hair or anything. Instead, I’m gonna give it to you fast. Go to Sorrento Hotel this Wednesday. The place that gives you such great FREE  events like Night School Silent Readings and Fellini Film Fridays (even though their site says Wednesdays, just trust me that it happens on Fridays. Oh, silly websites) is now giving you something else for free to enjoy. Head over to their...
Weekend Round-Up: January 20-22

Weekend Round-Up: January 20-22...

Holy Snosanity 2012, Seattle. Are y’all surviving? More importantly, are you enjoying the crap out of this weather? My days have been filled with sledding, ice walks, frolicking snow dog, building Snow Trogdor, and more cups of coffee than you can shake a snowman at. This Texas girl is in love with our city all the time, but especially when everything is covered in frozen, sparkling, snowy white. If snow were a...

GIVEAWAY: Win 2 Tickets to New Year Libations Cock...

Cheers to hoping that you’re finished with the crazy cleanse you committed to after that wicked New Year’s Eve hangover.

Well, Google Places and Seattleite Magazine are here to help you swear off buying vodka that comes in a plastic bottle forever...

Tiki Tuesdays at Chino’s: Give a Mug, Get a Cocktail

Tiki Tuesdays at Chino’s: Give a Mug, Get a ...

2012 is officially the year of tiki. Everybody who is anybody has traded their Manhattan for a Zombie (made with locally distilled liquor though- this is Seattle after all). All the cool kids got tired of looking for secret doors leading to the best bars of 2011 and can now be found exclusively at bright, hip oasis’s where sweet, brightly colored libations flow like boozy waterfalls. Leading the charge in the tiki...
520 gets a Happy Hour: Beach Café in Kirkland

520 gets a Happy Hour: Beach Café in Kirkland...

Has anyone else been watching how shittastic the traffic has been on the news ever since this toll nonsense started? What a mess. I feel so bad for all those Microsofters out there that have to deal with this from here on out. But luckily there’s some relief – and in typical Yay-Today fashion the relief comes with drinks. Meet Beach Café. Wow, right? Well, let me first say that I haven’t been to the Beach Café, but...

Weekend Round-Up: NYE Edition...

Congratulations, y’all. You made it through the holiday season. The presents have been given, the meals have been made, the dishes are done, and you can finally collapse on the floor, unbutton the top button of your jeans, and veg out. But WAIT! Don’t fall asleep for too long, guys. Tomorrow is New Year’s Eve! You have places to go! Champagne to drink! Strangers to make out with at midnight! Take a disco nap...
Treat Yo’self to Lunch at RN74

Treat Yo’self to Lunch at RN74...

I write a blog about freebies and deals, but I have a major weakness for fancy food. Seriously, if I wasn’t so mature, I would totally talk smack about myself behind my own back. So when I stumble into a magic world where I get fancy food at affordable prices, I break into a major happy dance. That’s exactly what happened* when uber-fancy RN74 invited me to sample their newly revamped lunch menu this weekend- so...
Weekend Handmade: A book, a craft and Dry Soda

Weekend Handmade: A book, a craft and Dry Soda...

I feel totally lazy compared to people like Kelly Wilkinson. She’s like the J. Lo of nerds. She’s a reporter and anchor for San Fran’s NPR. She writes a craft column for The Washington Post. She’s created projects for Sunset, Country Living, Design*Sponge and Apartment Therapy. She has a blog, Make Grow Gather. AND she most recently created Weekend Handmade – her first craft book that includes more than 40 projects...
