The Holiday Obli-gobblies


Yes, this time of year can be as stressful and frightening as the Halloween goblins you were fighting off at your front door just a month ago. The holiday ‘obli-gobblies’ are those terrifying monsters of guilt and stress that pop up this time of year when you feel over-obligated, overextended, over-budget, over-stuffed and sometimes just over it!

Treat yourself to a massage, realign your energies with accupuncture or reinvigorate your soles (and soul) from all that shopping. Jin Healing for Women has 2 San Francisco locations. Granted, this is not your typical uber-pampered and over-priced salon but you will get great services for very inexpensive prices. A one hour massage is under $50 and reflexology starts at $30. The centers are quiet, clean, the service is kind and friendly and the overall environment relaxing.

Rose Without Thorns

With the holidays just around the corner, thoughts are turning to gifts, so why not give the gift of an organic bouquet.     Organic Bouquet, based in San Rafael, practically invented the term "organic floral."  The company uses pesticide-free flowers, works with growers to promote organic production in Colombia and Ecuador, eco-friendly floral packaging and was even the brains behind the widely used certification process called Veriflora. Check out the website:  www.organicbouquet.com

Challenging Your Perception of Indian Food

Perhaps savory is the new sweet when thinking of olive-oil ice cream, bacon doughnuts and salty licorice candies.  Shalini Bhalla-a Punjab born architect turned candy maker runs Spice Vice, an organic Indian bakery, out of a commercial bakery in the Mission district.  Chikki is a traditional nut brittle that hails from Lonvala. Starting with a mix of organic almonds, cashews, and pistachios, Bhalla binds the nuts with jaggery, an unrefined sugar from India that gives the candy a molasses flavor, then doses it with marsala, a blend of curry spices including cinnamon, cardomon and chilies that she roasts and grinds herself.  The result-a brittle that's not too sweet with a jolt of heat-is an old world candy modern tastes.

Hidden Treasures of Afghanistan


Could one ever possibly ask "Is there any good to come out of the evils of war?" My answer is yes. That amongst the rubble and discord we can discover and understand the beauty of another culture rather than focusing on the conflict. Beginning last October and through January 25th, 2009, the Asian Art Museum in San Francisco will be holding an exhibit showcasing Afghanistan: Hidden Treasures from the National Museum, Kabul. Many of these objects were thought to have been stolen or destroyed during some 25 years of conflict first with the Russian invasion. With the recent invasion of the U.S. post September 11, 2001, these caches were recovered from a vault in 2004 within the Presidential Palace. In safe hands now the works belong to today to the National Museum of Afghanistan, Kabul.
Given the recent turmoil that this country has suffered the motto of Afghanistan remains to be “A nation stays alive when its culture stays alive.” That is a very powerful sentiment and hope that these invaluable findings from long ago remain symbols of a great culture that in the future, we hope, is able to flourish once again.
Contact the museum online at www.asianart.org or at (415) 581-3500, 200 Larkin Street, San Francisco, CA, 94102 for more information.

Slumdog Success


Slumdog Millionaire can currently be seen in theaters across the country. The movie has been receiving overwhelmingly positive reviews and is already creating Oscar talk, with good reason.
The movie is set in Mumbai, India where a former street child is a contestant on the Indian version of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?

Not in it for the money, Jamal, the main character, has entered the game show hoping to reach his missing childhood sweetheart, who he knows watches the show religiously. When he gets to the second to last question and close to winning the grand price, he is suspected of cheating, gets jailed and needs to prove how a slum boy could possibly know all the answers.

Desperate to prove his innocence, Jamal tells the story of his life in the slum where he and his brother grew up, of their adventures together on the road, of vicious encounters with local gangs, and of Latika, the girl he loved and lost. Each chapter of his story reveals the key to the answer to one of the game show's questions.

Without giving away more, all I can say is that the movie is absolutely amazing, both inspiring and intriguing. I highly recommend it, definitely one of the must-see movies of the year.

Speak Softly...Darling


Da' joint is jumping and this broad has a lot more to say about San Francisco's underground hideout, Bourbon and Branch. Meet your friends, rendezvous lover or partners in crime on the sly to drink some booze and discuss the welcome evils of gambling and jazz.

You may think times are tough today with the tanking economy and California’s unemployment rate at the highest it’s been in 14 years, just imagine what it was like nearly 80 years ago when the Great Depression of 1929 busted open the pockets of Wall Street shareholders. Soon after, there was hardly a penny for some and due to America’s prohibition laws, much less a trinkle of bourbon either.

Bourbon and Branch bar in San Francisco’s Tenderloin district is a secret passage back in to the late 1920s during the era of Prohibition, when the sales and consumption of alcoholic beverages were outlawed. The San Francisco establishment was originally built in 1867 and has operated at the Jones Street location ever since.

Getting into this joint is not going to be as simply text messaging for an address or dare calling for directions. You must plan ahead by completing an online request at
www.bourbonandbranch.com. You will receive an email confirmation with directions and a password (like 'Bubs' or 'Toots' but I didn't tell ya' so!). However, it's worth the effort for some unforgettable libations.

Always remember the House Rules:
1.) Please speak Easy
2.) Don’t even think of asking for a Cosmo
3.) Please be patient, their drinks are labor intensive
4.) No standing at the bar

5.) cell phones prohibited
5.) Please exit quietly
from the bar

Now scram buster! Plus, a word of caution for those of you on the lam, always keep an eye out for Johnny Law!

Artistic Living


One of San Francisco's most valuable attraction is Haight-Ashbury, whether it's known for its cultural significance on hippie creation, or diverse street life that combines both tourist and residents. People alike come to see the most exclusive boutiques, high-end vintage-clothing shops, internet cafes and restaurants. "Freedom of speech and independent living is what I feel when I visit", said Caroline Raphael a local student.

So whether your visiting on the weekday or weekend prepare to indulge yourself in a experience of cultural rebirth, political independents and ARTISTIC LIVING!

Winter Wanderlust

Raise your hand if you've ever looked up into a brilliant-blue August sky. Or down into crystal sheathed waters of a hidden stream. Or straight ahead of you upon a snow-capped mountain glinting in the February sun. Chances are, if you've ever passed through blazing western lands on your way to California, or were fortunate enough to be born into a cute little town in the southern basin of Idaho, you raised your hand in answer to all three. This winter in San Francisco, with the inevitable rain showers and bone-tingling chill, try heading to a new spot; a spot less traveled. Southern Idaho is home to three of the most lovely, welcoming, quaint towns this side of the Mississippi, respectfully named Hailey, Ketchum, and Sun Valley. Bundle up and take the horse-drawn sleigh from Sun Valley to Trail Creek Cabin for a delicious dinner, throw on an old pair of figure skates and join the pros at Sun Valley Lodge for an amazing night of twists and spins, or head to Dollar Mountain amidst freshly fallen snow to watch the Torchlight Ski Parade light up the cold winter sky. And of course, get ready to sport your most fashionable of outdoor attire atop Bald Mountain where you will careen alongside skiers from all over the world. And for all of those "non-snow-bunnies," not to worry, there are a multitude of art galleries, independent restaurants, boutiques, and jewelry shops to capture your fancy. The Gail Severn Gallery, Globus Restaurant & Wine Bar, Burnsie's Boca boutique, and Jensen and Stern jewelers are just a few of the area's best. From indoor-lovers to outdoor-lovers, from the adventuresome to the conventional, every San Franciscan will fall in love with these charming mountain towns. Visit www.sunvalley.com for more information.

Sights and Sounds


San Francisco has a hidden gem for all lovers of music and art.  The wave organ, made of PVC pipes and concrete and activated by waves, is a sound sculpture located at the edge of a Marina district jetty (near the Yacht Club) in the San Francisco Bay. The wave organ was conceived by artist Peter Richards and built with the help of stonemason Greg Gonzales in 1986 in conjunction with San Francisco's Exploratorium. The acoustic sculpture sounds best at high tide but if you can only make it at low tide, the sight is still worth visiting due to its spectacular views of the Golden Gate Bridge and the San Francisco skyline.

Jewel of Biblical Proportions



What’s old is new again in fashion trends they say but an extraordinary find this month in Israel pushes that cliché to the limit. A luxurious, gold, pearl and emerald earring was discovered by archeologists beneath a parking lot next to the walls of Jerusalem’s Old City. The piece dates back to the Roman period just before the time of Christ, approximately around 2,000-4,000 A.D. experts say. The exact location of the find was within a destroyed Byzantine structure built centuries after the actual jewelry piece as made, revealing that it was more than likely passed down through generations. This work of adornment made even more precious by its astonishingly well preserved nature, one large pearl inlaid in gold with two drop pieces and an emerald and pearl set in gold. The setting is quite eye catching and has a timeless, classic essence about as if you could walk out the door today donning this long lost treasure on your ears. Hang on to your mother or grandmothers trinkets as they could become treasures tomorrow.

Angels and Insects in SF


Not many cities, much less West Coast cities can boast such a wanton and debaucherous history that San Francisco can. Famed for its reputation as a progressive, liberal, ‘free loving,’ anything goes type of city there was a brief moment in time when San Francisco fell under the refined charms of the Victorian Era. Shortly after the boom of the1850’s Gold Rush and the illicit shenanigans of the Barbary Coast treasure seekers the city had drawn more reclusive and dignified by the late 1870’s. Listed below is one unique treasure spot to carry you back in time to an age of romance and sentimentality.

The San Francisco Conservatory of Flowers in Golden Gate Park opened in 1879 and was faithfully restored to perfection in 2005. It is a gem of Victorian architecture boasting over 2,000 plant species and is the largest conservatory in North America. In Victorian times, flowers were one of a few gifts a young lady could properly receive from a gentleman and each flower held a specific meaning. Discover delicate treasures within Golden Gate Park.

Live Green, Be Green


In today's world, it is no longer en vogue or hip to "be green," it's the norm. Everyone, both young and old, from Maine to California, is embracing the opportunity to lessen their individual footprint on the earth. From hybrid cars to recycling, from fair trade coffee to sustainable fashion, people are aware now, more than ever, of how much their help and support is needed in order to increase the quality of life lived by all. One city within the country that has taken special consideration when addressing this cause is San Francisco, California. San Francisco, known for it's love of independent artists and local businesses, has taken to banning the use of plastic bags in all grocery stores throughout the city, further promoting the use of recyclable, reusable, paper bags. Many companies, such as Baggu® ($5-$35, visit www.baggubag.com for ordering information) and Blue Q® ($12, visit www.blueq.com for ordering information), have taken to manufacturing fashionable (and reusable) easy-to-carry bags. In 2009, the grocer Whole Foods®, known for their expansive selection of organic food and strict adherence to environmentally-safe practices, is planning to open 18 new locations in California, 3 of which will be in San Francisco alone. From protecting the environment to sustainable bags to organic grocers, people are excitedly joining the bandwagon, which is positively a step in the right direction. Be Green. The planet is calling. Visit www.begreennow.com for more information on how you can help support the cause.
