Brunch, Bloodies and Black n' Whites!

Up Nort' where Mark is from they have this thing called widows weekend.  It's the opening weekend of hunting season.  All the ladies band together and go out to do their girl things... including going to the Packer game.  I am thrilled to say that I WILL be participating in this years Widow Weekend again!  I'm going to the game with my future mother-in-law and sister-in-law.  BUT! before we can move on to this monumental occasion we need to talk about the best event happening in Milwaukee since beer!  Well maybe not quite that exciting... but it should be great!

Ever wish you took better photos?  Wish no longer!

Art Milwaukee along with INdustri Cafe have partnered to bring you "Brunch, Bloodies and Black n Whites"!  This will be a culinary and artistic journey like none you have experienced before.  Come on down for the BEST BLOODY MARY in town, a beautiful brunch sampling, then photography lessons and a tour through the Historic 5th Ward where we will test out those newly acquired photography skills!  Let's not forget another perk... this event is hosted by yours truly.  I hope to see you there!

Tickets are on sale for $50 dollars which is a steal ; the bloody mary alone has a $13 value!

Back in the Blogosphere! Saffron Yoga

I love yoga.  I love the stretching, the calming atmosphere, and the mental break from real life.  One of the  hard things about maintaining a regular yoga schedule is often the price.  I understand the need to charge fifteen dollars a class, I really do, I just can't personally afford it that often.

Saffron Yoga Center in Milwaukee is the answer to that problem.  Saffron is a pay what you can yoga center located in Bay View above Cafe Centraal on KK.  They ask for a donation of five to fifteen dollars  for their courses.  Their new space which is shared with Community Acupuncture is my type of yoga room.  They have pretty soft lighting, hardwood floors, quiet music, and blankets, mats and blocks to borrow.  I know some yogi's out there prefer their rooms carpeted with zero distractions but I appreciate the aesthetic qualities that Saffron's room brings to my practice.

The classes them selves vary but are taught my talented and compassionate yogis.  If you are on a tight budget and looking to try out yoga I suggest stopping in and checking this place out!
