Giveaway: Win 5 FREE Classes at Sweat Hot Yoga

Giveaway: Win 5 FREE Classes at Sweat Hot Yoga...

If different types of exercise were different types of people people, yoga would be that old friend you can instantly fall into a comfortable conversation with even though you’ve both been so busy for the last three months that you didn’t even know she moved across town last week. Sure, there may be other people who see more often, but nobody else instantly knows that what you really, really need right now is a...
Greenlake Adventure Run: An oldie but goodie

Greenlake Adventure Run: An oldie but goodie...

So some of you may go to the SAM this Thursday, but if you don’t like the massive First Thursday crowd then do something that could equally enrich your life. Go on the Greenlake Adventure Run! Photo courtesy of Greenlake Adventure Run and RoadRunner Sports Now, you might remember that we actually posted about this last year. So the fact that we’re posting about it again must mean something. And it does. Because for the...
Casa Latina: With Dignity Indeed

Casa Latina: With Dignity Indeed...

When we bought our home, one of the major reasons we loved it was because we didn’t have to do much to change it. Small things here and there, but overall nothing that would cost us a brand new car to fix. But of course, the things we thought were small, that we could probably do on our own suddenly became much bigger projects. A paint job turns into a tile job and out of nowhere you’re uprooting your entire small...

Give it a Try: $2 classes all around Seattle

Give it a Try: $2 classes all around Seattle...

I went swimming the other day and was reminded how much I love it. Sure, there’s a crap ton of people right at your heel and you only have an hour to go, go, go and I’m almost always disoriented when I first get there – but besides all that, it truly is great (especially with this waterproof mp3 player). My favorite pool is now Greenlake’s Evans because of the hot hot hot sauna and the easy parking in the winter. But...

Our First Expose´: Capitol Hill “Ice” Skating...

Remember my excitement for Capitol Hill’s Ice Skating Rink that got all this buzz around town – including here? Well, I went. And I’m here to tell you my experience in Yay-Today’s first ever expose´! My apologies in advance for my lack of secret video tapes revealing something you won’t believe. This isn’t Dateline, folks.

Reindeer Run: Burn those holiday cookies away

Reindeer Run: Burn those holiday cookies away...

You can’t avoid the holiday sugar madness. If you work in an office someone is bringing a cookie, brownie or heaping pile of chili to your cube right as I type this. Then there are all those coffee shops tempting you with their super yummy (re: fatty) egg nog lattes. And don’t forget about the bars and holiday parties. I swear, I think I’ve done more drinking in the last few weeks than I have in all my sorority...
Capitol Hill on Ice: You probably didn’t hear it here first

Capitol Hill on Ice: You probably didn’t hear it...

So unless you live under a rock (or in a tent near Westlake Mall/SCCC Campus), then you’ve probably already heard about the coolest news to hit Capitol Hill. Nope, they didn’t decide to tear down all those ugly condos. Rather, Cal Anderson Park is having their 1st Annual Ice Rink!!!   Photo courtesy of Capitol Hill Ice Rink Opening day is today, at 11am and your last chance to do your best Kerrigan is on Saturday,...
Heaven & Earth: A park that has more than a few views and playgrounds

Heaven & Earth: A park that has more than a f...

Okay, so when you move to Seattle you always hear about Greenlake, Seward Park and Discovery Park but no one ever seems to give Carkeek Park any cred. And it definitely deserves it. With views of the Olympics and Sound, plenty of space to play with your kids AND tons of windy trails that you can get lost in, Carkeek is slowly becoming my new favorite secret hideaway. Especially for those days that I don’t want to drive an...
