The old Cascade People’s Center: Meet the new Ca...

Now, the Y @ Cascade People’s Center is offering lots of fun classes and most are FREE for the first visit. Photo courtesy of EvanLovely. For instance, tonight the Yoga class tonight is free for all first-timers and if you end up liking Bev’s practice you can buy...

SPUN’s Low V-Neck T-shirt: Cheaper than a Bo...

If you’re feeling a little less sexy after the holidays (yes, I ate cookies for breakfast on New Year’s Eve, what’s it to you?), then I’m here to solve all your problems. Today I’ve got the lowdown on how a $40 investment can make you feel pretty no matter how much champagne you guzzled over the past two weeks. This past month I rediscovered a magical item of clothing that goes with everything,...

Giveaway: Get Clean, Smell Amazing with Beautanica...

UPDATE: Hey guys, the giveaway has ended, but you can still get a sweet 20% discount on Beautanicals products if you enter YAY20 at checkout. Give great gift this year! I love the holidays- I really do. But somewhere between the third trip to the mall (and the inevitable shame spiral you fall into after you succumb to the aroma of the Cinnabun) and the idea of spending 2 whole weeks in my parents house (2 weeks!), I...

Thanksgiving Round-Up: November 23-27...

I started searching for Black Friday deals and random local free Thanksgiving events, when what I really want to share is ways we can help each other. I’m beyond grateful for so many things – like a nice, new roof over my head, organic produce at the farmer’s market that I can afford and my ‘made out of recycled materials’ Nau coat, just to name a few – that I’ve made it my goal for the...

Ballard: The new Greenwich Village...

Remember the 60s? Okay, me neither. I wasn’t even born until almost 20 years later (hope I didn’t just make you feel old . But I imagine it was a flutter of artists, rebellions and poets going amuk. And now that kind of energy might just hit cute, little Ballard – for at least a moment or two. Photo courtesy of Ballard Writers' Book Slam Meet Ballard Writers’ Book Slam. Where 22 local (organic, sustainable,...

It’s Voting Time: Do it...

Okay, personally I have mixed feelings about voting in general. My mind tells me to do it, but sometimes my heart says, “Why? Who is this guy/girl? Am I voting between 2 evils? What’s the friggin’ point if in a year we’ll be voting on the same exact issue again and again and again?” And then there are some moments in life when it all makes sense (re: Women voting, Gay marriage in New York, slowly but surely...

Occupy Seattle: Yep, we’re jumping on the dump y...

For as long as this Occupy Wall Street has been going on (can you believe it’s only been a month and a half), Seattle has shown their spirit too. It’s definitely no NYC and let’s face it – we will never be NYC (thank goodness), but we can Occupy in our own way and make some noise too. Photo courtesy of borman818. You can join the march today (at the Sheraton @5:45pm while one of the richest guys on Wall Street talks...

Winter Skin Survival Guide & GIVEAWAY!...

For me, the scariest part of Halloween often happens the morning after- and no, it’s not waking up with a horrific hangover or having to do the walk of shame wearing my Slutty Zombie costume. But you know what is scary? Taking a hard look at my face in the magnifying mirror on November 1st. Between the previous night’s Halloween makeup and cold, windy fall weather, my complexion starts to look downright...

Seattle Animal Shelter: Nothing gets a blog attent...

I’ve had one of those weeks where instead of sneaking an hour out of my 9 to 5 to do this here blog (sometimes days ahead of schedule), instead I have get to do posts at 9pm the night before frantically figuring out what to entice you lovely readers with. Luckily my blogging inspiration for today’s reading pleasure is coming from a very good place: Seattle Animal Shelter! Photo courtesy of Seattle Animal...

Cider Press: The latest free (and not so easy, but...

As far as the typical Seattle DIY/Urban Farmer goes, I think your life probably looks a little like this: rent a goat, get chickens for your yard, go to a beekeeper class, have an obscene collection of mason jars and then can everything you can get your hands on. Well, now that it’s Fall it’s time to put down the compost and start the latest new trend: CIDER PRESSING! Photo courtesy of Tecfan I’ve been...
