The Perfect Day

Using only V-Day donors, I could create a perfect day.

How about a nice relaxing spa visit to start off?  Let's begin with a Thai massage and finish off with an Ancient Volcanic Ritual (exfoliation! detox! hydrate!)

The Kura Door

"Tradition of healing and rejuvenation that incorporates the gifts of the natural world and the artistry of the Japanese approach to wellness and beauty."

Next, satisfy my growling stomach at one of my favorite restaurants -- Mazza. 

  I always go for the Labneh, Muhamara, and Beesarah.

Mazza

Fresh, authentic Middle Eastern cuisine including Falafel, Shawarma, Kebabs, and Turkish Coffee.

Right next door to Mazza on 15th and 15th sits the cute King's English. 

I bought one of my best books there, This Is Who I Am. Any woman who thinks and feels with her body deserves to read this book.

King's English Bookshop

Matching books to readers since 1977

Finally, off to lounge in the Zen room at The Tea Grotto. 

Their selection of teas covers an entire wall! And man, do they know their tea. I certainly don''t know the different varieties of matcha green tea.

They'll also have a cameo appearance at The Vagina Monologues! With free tea samples!

I'll be first in line.

The Art of Business

On an icy morning at 8:00 am, 5-foot icicles dripped from the back of Sugarhouse Coffee. Once inside, Ben and I grabbed a couple drinks from the tired girl at the counter and went upstairs to our meeting -- The Art of Business. Beginning business owners began to filter in. They all seemed friendly and familiar with one another. Ben, who had been going to the group for a while, schmoozed and introduced me to a few people.

Carlos, a professor at Westminster College, and a couple of other women ran us through a lesson on retention and detention. A business could retain a customer by building loyalty: offering punch cards, frequent customer discounts, providing excellent service. On the opposite side, detaining a customer would be like shackling them to the wall. You kept them in line with difficult and desperate strategies (cell phone providers, I'm looking at you).

We both pitched V-Day like the professional Vagina Warriors we are. We must have been charming because several people approached us with donations offers. Scented candles, computer diagnostics, guided meditations, health consultations.  So, Ben and I are courting, once again, fabulous and generous people.


Yet, everyone's efforts have already pulled in these donations:

• Dinner for two at Rodizzio Grill
• Dinner for two at Trio Restaurant
• A gift basket from the Tea Grotto, including a free tea tasting at The Vagina Monologues
• Four free meal cards from Cafe Rio
• A $50 gift certificate to KURA Door Spa
• A $30 gift certificate to Mazza
• A $100 gift certificate to Takashi

Thank you to all of our donors!
