Learning How To Chill

Learning How To Chill...

We’ve talked a lot about New Year’s resolutions that are about getting more physically healthy: exercising, eating right, drinking less bourbon. But personally, my January resolution is all about mental health. See, I’m kind of a spaz. And sure, never slowing down means that I get a lot done, but it’s also exhausting. So I’m kicking off 2013 by slowing down a bit. Here are my current favorite...

Hippies unite: Sustainable Ballard Festival is here

Hippies unite: Sustainable Ballard Festival is her...

I remember a few years back when I happened upon this itty bitty event on some September sunny weekend at the Ballard Commons Park. There were like 10 booths, some goats, random people giving away pens, and something at the library that let me sew my own reusable bag. But as years went on, this teeny tiny thing has turned into a totally legit Sustainable Ballard Festival.   Photo courtesy of Sustainable Ballard 9th...

No more free ride zones: Think again

No more free ride zones: Think again...

If you haven’t heard yet, Seattle is doing away with the Free Ride zones around Downtown, starting September 29th. Some people are up in arms, some think it’ll be good for the city (that would be me), and some just don’t care. So in case you’re freaking out about how you’ll get from Pike to Pine we might have a solution for you. Photo courtesy of In Motion Meet In Motion. I have big, huge, Ryan...

Luminata Lantern Parade at Greenlake

Luminata Lantern Parade at Greenlake...

Sure, I’m wearing sandals today (and showing off my still-awesome two-week-old pedicure from Healthy Nail Salon) and I drank an iced coffee this morning and overall, this September is probably the most awesome September I’ve ever spent in Seattle, weather-wise, but the seasons, they are a-turning. And while I’m not going to tell you to squander these last, beautiful sunny days of official summer, I’m...

My trip to the coast: Things you should know

My trip to the coast: Things you should know...

Well, as I write this it’s looking like summer is officially taking it’s slow dive into Fall. While it’s sad that we won’t have those 2 days of 90 degrees again, I really do love it when the leaves start to change and the air turns a little brisk and really the rain doesn’t seem to kick in until after Halloween–so we have a few more precious moments before we can all complain again. And...

When I asked Aubrey what the deal was with this new Veggie Grill coming to South Lake Union, she said and I quote, “HOLY @)#*!@)#* THAT PLACE IS AWESOME!” And since I’ve made it a rule that whenever someone uses all caps to describe a restaurant in Seattle, I should probably check it out. Ya know, for the readers Photo courtesy of Veggie Grill So I did. And boy oh boy, was it delicious. I was lucky enough to get a...

Are you like me, and while you walk around your neighborhood do you see these signs that say ‘I’m Rain Wise’? And then do you scratch your head and ask yourself, ‘What the heck is Rain Wise?’ Well, that’s what I do. Out loud. In front of children. They get scared and run away. I digress. Photo courtesy of Rain Wise and SPU. But back to rain gardens. Basically RainWise is the new backyard...

Weekend Round-Up: 8/10-8/12...

If you thought last weekend was summertastic, then say hello to the next three, glorious days. It might not be a lock-yourself-in-your-only-AC-powered-room kind of heat, but it’ll still be warm, sunny, and awesome. Enjoy it while it lasts! -Circus troupes, live music, and a logging show. Sounds like the 2012 Stillaguamish Festival of the River & Pow Wow is here. -Pack a picnic and enjoy a FREE concert at Seattle...

Free Tilth Classes: Yep, you heard me right

Free Tilth Classes: Yep, you heard me right...

You and me both love our Seattle Tilth. Their edible sales can’t be missed and their helpful staff are bar none. But their classes, well…are kinda pricey. That’s not to say that they are bad by any means, but we here at Yay-Today weren’t about to send you off to our hippie haven unless there’s something free involved. Photo courtesy of Seattle Tilth and Seattle Parks and Recreation. Lo and behold their free adult...
