Let’s Talk About Hickeys … or G2 Organics

I bruise easily. Just sayin’. Thankfully, I haven’t had a code red emergency hickey cover sesh since I was dating two guys one summer in college … wait, did I just reveal something? However, I do sometimes get rather unfortunate blemishes, usually smack dab somewhere noticeable (we can talk about this face map another time). [...]

Rent the Runway Review (hint: I love it)

If you’re not a Gossip Girl watcher, you might not have seen Rent the Runway in action (Juliet uses it to look like she actually has money to buy designer clothes). Think Jennifer Hudson using Bag Borrow Steal from Sex & The City. No? Maybe I’ll just ‘splain myself: Rent the Runway is a dress-lending site where [...]

10 Minutes on the Vila Acupressure Mat

You know those days you’re so tired or stressed or have tension headaches or are just so sore from yesterday’s workout that you can hardly fathom getting off the couch? Or when you see ads for massages and think, I wish I had time for that, instead of how nice! When Vila Mat announced its [...]

Aspen: or, El Jebel Really: Sushi Ya Go Go [Updated]

[Update: The second time was better than the first! I had an outstanding white tuna sushi and they made me a RICELESS El Jebel roll! Love them even more:] It’s no secret that I love sushi. However, it struck me that in Aspen I am undeniably landlocked the day I drove past a company advertising [...]

Awww, sweet Dishola deal – donate food with minimal effort

Aside from clicking that bowl of rice that donates to starving children in Asia (it took me awhile to find this link again, where you donate rice for every vocab word you know … pretty awesome), I don’t know of many easier ways to donate food to those in need than this: Dishola (plus Whole [...]

Enoteca Vespaio

Crispy and doughy are generally opposites, but somehow the crust on my pizza at Enoteca Vespaio managed to be both, with a sprinkling of crunchy salt on top. It was amazing. In fact, the whole pizza was absurdly delicious, in a decadent, can’t-eat-it-every-day way. I mean, I could eat Mangia every day and die happy [...]

Awesome yelp.com party Friday!

I love yelp.com. I trust the reviewers, my peers in this wonderful city, immensely, and I love the list functions and weekly email updates. So I’m totally stoked for the YELP PARTY this Friday at Buffalo Billiards! This one’s an open event, but RSVP to austin@yelp.com to make sure you’re in like flint. There will [...]

Review: Thai Passion

Another hidden gem on Congress! (Like Silhouette Sushi) After wandering around Congress for an hour or so looking for somewhere to eat last Friday night–why didn’t my parents believe me when I said there’d be a wait anywhere downtown on a Friday night?!–we stumbled up Thai Passion at long last, tucked away on 7th Street [...]

Review: Sago Modern Mexican

Based on cocktails and appetizers alone, Sago was delicious! Their signature Z-Martini is a spicy-sweet number sweetened with agave nectar–low on the GI scale, so less of an impact on your blood sugar!–and it even has little pieces of crushed jalapeno floating throughout! We also tried a martini whose name I can’t remember, sort of [...]
