For The Love of Tea

Today being a day to celebrate love (especially with your pocketbook), it’s time to think of less traditional gifts for that special someone. Sure flowers, candy, aphrodisiacs (be they edible or not) and lingerie are all well and good, but how about something a little less traditional?
Take tea, for example.
That’s right, tea.
From tea to tea [...]

February 26th Foodie Alert

Ah, food and drink, vittles and libations, solids and liquids – call them what you will, but they in great part make the world go round. (Even more so if you’re hedonistically inclined.) If wine and food are in fact your hedonistic thang, then there’s an event that’s fast approaching you may want to check [...]

Snoqualmie Falls … In Love

Snoqualmie Falls is a great place for both friends and lovers alike. Created some 10,000 years ago, its approximate 270-foot drop at this time of year is fed by either snow melt or rain runoff – which means a large volume of water. So much water, in fact, that getting sprayed – soaked, even – [...]

Gig Harbor Getaway, Part 2 of 2

So back to Gig Harbor. I have to say that I was impressed with the foodie evolution of the area, which exceeded my expectations.
Although your Hedonista had little time to enjoy more than one restaurant, I plan to return. That said, choosing from a small list of the “foodie haves” of Gig Harbor, my choice [...]

Gig Harbor Getaway, Part 1 of 2

With February a month to definitely be hedonistic in a romantic way, getaways are a good idea. Although someplace hot, tropical, and clothing-optional may be on your list, staycations abound. The Pacific Northwest is a great place to getaway without really going very far.
Take Gig Harbor, for instance. Self-promoted as “Washington’s Maritime Village,” this area [...]

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 [...]

Tap: Surrey’s Finest

OK, as a Surrey-girl-turned-Seattleite, I can hear the groans now: “tap Surrey’s finest.” But I’m not trying to create some crass joke, here, dear hedonists. Rather, I’m here to tell you about what is currently my fav fine dining restaurant in Surrey, B.C.
The restaurant: Tap Restaurant in Surrey, B.C. Located in the South Surrey Town [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]
