JewelMint. I admitted I bought it here. You can sign up here. Because then you could receive this beautiful little package in the mail: Then, inside would be this ring: Which would look just dazzling on your finger: It’s a subscription service, but it’s easy to refuse a shipment for the month, easy to…

Aspen: Mountain Naturals $6.50 Burger
Burgers aren’t hard to find in Aspen (LOVE Belly Up’s double and sweet potato fries!!) But burgers under $10? Rare. So when Mountain Naturals, the crunchy store in the ABC, announced lunch specials like a $6.50 burger, I had to check it out. Served on an english muffin with as many toppings as you’d like,…
Aspen: Snowmass Restaurant Week!
Eating on the cheap in Aspen (/Snowmass) can be a challenge, so I’m thrilled they’ve introduced Restaurant Week to Snowmass! More than 25 restaurants (who knew Snowmass had that many?!) are participating with prices at $20.11 … cute. Started on Saturday, runs through February 18. My top three picks: GARNISH (American) Open Daily for Après…

Aspen: Tonight, there’s free sushi at Takah
I still haven’t been to Takah Sushi in Aspen, the most affordable of the bunch (excepting Clark’s grocery store sushi, which is indeed made in store every day), but tonight Aspen Public Radio is hosting a membership drive there with FREE bites and 1/2 price sake. Sounds good to me! Want to join the Aspen…
“You’re Good for the Gym”
Before I tell this story, perhaps I should explain about Bleeker Street Gym. As I’ve mentioned on lifeinaspen.com, Bleeker is the meathead gym. It’s smallish, equipment everywhere, rubber floors, tons of dumbbells, a weight rack and a squat rack, 4 KBs, 1 jump rope, and a freestanding pull-up bar (no kipping here). I spend most of…
Aspen: CP’s Burger
Aspen needs some mid-price places to grab a quick bite, so I was thrilled to hear about CP’s Burgers, downtown next to the ice rink. We headed over one evening to check it out. It’s not cheap, but it’s relatively well priced–for Aspen. The presentation is gorgeous: Burger, tuna burger, parmesan truffle fries, sweet potato…
Wow, more shopping/deal sites!
Yo, did you guys know about SteepandCheap.com? Because I sure didn’t, but apparently everyone else within 1,000 vertical feet of snow did. It flashes a new item every 30 minutes or until it sells out, whichever comes first, and its got tons of mountain-y gear like skis, accessories, clothes, hiking gear, shoes, packs, camping stuff,…
Aspen: Well hello Matsuhisa, nice to meet you
The holy grail of Aspen food is UNarguably Matsuhisa. As in celeb-heavyweight Nobu’s little pet sister restaurant, the one Chef Nobu only opened for fun. You wait for someone’s rich parents or tourists to invite you to dinner there, and then you feel awkward the entire time because it’s so expensive and extravagant that you…
Rent the Runway
I could have sworn I’d written about Rent the Runway before, but a quick search of my own site reveals that I am mistaken. Lately I’ve taken to composing mental emails and then asking my poor staff writer at EndlessBeauty.com why she didn’t respond. Um, because you never sent them, crazy lady? Apparently I also…
