Summer swimsuit shopping

Hitting the coast in search of bikinis, board shorts and flip-flops

By Katrina Dodson
It's a summer ritual—swimsuit shopping. Nobody wants to strip down before a summer tan sets in, or a bikini workout has begun, but if you want to get a good suit, you must shop early.

Candles, music and jewelry

Three ways to add romance to the everyday

Shopping at National City’s Price Breakers Indoor Bazaar

Gold nameplates? Inexpensive undies? Fancy nail art? It's all here

By Alex Zaragoza
If you’re anything like me, you have a soft spot for dollar-store finds—tacky goods and random knick-knacks that you buy simply because they’re ridiculous and/or completely stupid.

In search of tasty fancy foods

Where to find unusual sodas, pastries, honey and The Mustard

By Alex Zaragoza
Some food products are classics and should never be messed with. As our Grubby Bitch, Amy T. Granite, pointed out in her Jan. 2 roundup of food trends she’d like to see tossed into the dumpster, no fancy, chef-prepared ketchup will ever be as good as tried-and-true Heinz. I strongly agree.

Boas, confetti, tiny top hats, champagne and more

Where to go for holiday gifts

Progress, Graffiti Beach, Noon and more places for present-buying

By Alex Zaragoza
The holidays are lovely and twinkly and merry, and also a source of near-debilitating anxiety. I started my Christmas shopping in mid-November to ease the stress, but even then, my gift list keeps getting longer and my debit card’s magnetic strip is starting to wear out.

Three places to go for a fun workout

Zumba, pilates and yoga for the exercise-challenged

By Alex Zaragoza
You know those people who say they love working out—the ones who wake up at 5 a.m. to go to the gym just because it feels good? I hate those people.
