Great Find: Massage for Seattle Inc.

There are few things more hedonistic than indulging in a full-body massage (although they certainly exist, let’s save that for another article, another time). Recently I discovered a fabulous massage therapist in Seattle’s Columbia City.
His name is Wendell Dyck – a former Vida Spa massage therapist, he incorporated Massage for Seattle Inc. in 2005 and [...]

Bellwether Bellingham

So these days, the “wether” outside is less than “belle.” That said, these days Bellingham Bay – be it rain, sleet, snow, or sun – is lookin’ gooood. Trendy, foodista good.
Who knew? With Bellingham only 90 minutes from Seattle, 45 minutes from Vancouver, B.C. and 5 minutes from the Bellingham International Airport by car – [...]

Sit ‘n’ Seattle Spin

Arguably the best kind of good news is when it comes straight out of the blue. And often the most hedonistic kind of surprises are pleasant surprises, aren’t they?
Well, very recently your Hedonista was pleasantly surprised – so much so it was good she was sitting down when she got the news – to discover [...]

Sooke Harbour House Poetry Contest EXTENDED

Tsk, tsk, tsk … it seems that you hedonists aren’t poetic these days.
Given that, the Poetry at Sooke Harbour House contest has been extended for one month – until 4:59 p.m. (PST) on Monday, September 13th.

Poetry At Sooke Harbour House

Sooke Harbor House is more than just a picturesque, garden-laden seaside inn with world-class food and wine menus that change on a daily basis. It’s more than just a sought-after venue for destination weddings and corporate retreats.  Sooke Harbour House – located on the southern coast of Vancouver Island – is [...]

39th Annual Folklife Festival

Don’t you dare assume that, because of the name, it’s nothing but “folksy.”
And, whatever you do, DO NOT call it a “hippie fest.” Sure, they’ve got petitioners seeking to legalize marijuana, but let’s face it – that issue has a LOT more support than merely from the hippie populace. Besides, there’s more to this event [...]

Bask in the Glow of Suncadia

If you’re looking for a “staycation” – a getaway that’s not too far away – you might want to consider Suncadia Resort & Spa (where your Hedonista was hosted some time ago as a media guest). Located 80 miles east of Seattle on the sunny eastern slopes of the Cascades amidst 1,200 acres of pine [...]

Sleep, Slurp, Spy, ‘n’ Spa This February Month of V-day

Since it seems that – for better or for worse – day-long holidays (pagan or not) are now marketed as month-long events, this month your Hedonista will focus on the month of pure hedonism: February.
Why February, you ask? Well, there’s Valentine’s Day, with all of its pampering of your respective loved one (or ones). However, [...]

‘Tis the Season … for Pine & Juniper Berries

Let’s face it – the holidays are for all ages.
So why not hedonistically treat yourself (and those you love) to some soothing scents of this season? (Your Hedonista recently partook as a media guest.)
This winter holiday, Seattle’s Vida Spa – located over in the Denny Triangle neighborhood – is offering a two fabulous treats:

Vida’s Winter [...]

Follow the Silk Road

Tea is truly one of life’s greatest pleasures (simply type that three-lettered word into the search box on this site and see all the pleasures it has to offer).  That said, spa and aromatherapy also has its hedonist holding in your Hedonista’s heart (again, type in this three-lettered word and see what reveals itself).  What [...]
