Libido-licious: Goddess This

Now that winter is (or will) gradually transform itself into spring, it’s time to think about sex, love, and romance. (Oh, like you weren’t already.) Valentine’s Day (a.k.a. V-Day) will soon be upon us, and thus February is the month of all things that are “libido-licious” (i.e., aphrodisiacs, if you will).
Things like alcohol. (Duh – [...]

Choice Organic Teas’ New “Bookend” Teas

Now that the New Year is fully upon us, changes are on the horizon. For we hedonists all like to shake things up on a regular basis, don’t we?
So … how about tea for two … or four.
Four new flavors, that is.
As of this month (currently available at their online store and scheduled to be [...]

Bible Schmible: Family Focus

Time to get a little heavy here, dear hedonists. What is the Bible? What is its purpose? Why was it written and by whom?
There’s a new play in town – a world premiere, in fact – that addresses these questions and, in so doing, redefines what is the Bible, what is holy.
In short, it’s family.
That’s [...]

Women and War

World War II was a time in our history that we must remember – remember and relive through the literature and the arts, for example – so as to never lose sight of the horrific atrocities of which we as human beings are capable. The purpose of such a reminder is to ensure that we [...]

Frothin’ Over Capresso

Although these days the weather outside may be frightful to some – and hedonistic-heavy snow days to others – Snowmageddon is a fab time for a nice, hot beverage (regardless of which camp you’re in).
And, if you’re truly house-/apartment-/condo-bound, with the local hot beverage places either closed or seemingly not worth the trek outside to [...]

All About Attila

As Seattle sits snow-bound, northern Italy is currently being invaded. Invaded by a barbarian whose name is pronounced more than one way: uh-TILL-uh in English, and AH-teel-uh in Italian. OK, so not an actual military invasion, but rather, an operatic one.
For Attila – whichever way you choose to pronounce it – is currently enjoying its [...]

A Completed New Year’s Resolution: Heed the Hedonist on Facebook

So … some people keep New Year’s Resolutions, others don’t. Personally, I can see both sides: given that most resolutions pertain to health improvement – be it physically, mentally, emotionally, spiritually, socially, financially, or (of course) hedonistically – one could argue that they shouldn’t be a once-a-year promise to oneself, but rather, something one lives [...]

Latest Lunch Offerings at Capital Grille

There’s just something about the start of a new year that makes folks want change, ideally for the better. Be it starting fresh, self-improvement, or resolutions – or all of the above – January seems to be a time for change.
The same goes for restaurants; for example, starting this past Monday, January 9th, 2012, The [...]

Coriolanus: One Bad-Ass Momma’s Boy

People can be … complicated. Take Caius Martius Coriolanus, a Roman general known for his ability to fight in wartime. Heralded as a hero, his mother Volumnia encourages him to run for consul (high office).
Coriolanus is a fighter, not a politician (although he has the ego for both). However, he’s also a bona fide momma’s [...]

Give Your Head a Little Love, Part 3 of 3: Lips

Here’s the final third installment of the three-part head lovin’ series: lips. Those delectable, moist-alicious vessels for … oh, lots of things. This time of year, it’s tougher than ever to keep those beauties supple, smooth, happy, and healthy.
Today I tested three lip balms, provided by Metropolitan Market as a part of their month-long Wellness [...]
