Bright and sunny August weekends give us the perfect opportunity to flex our creative muscles. Create to-dye-for custom-colored fabrics that look gorgeous as window treatments or a pretty tablecloth to accent your indigo-swirled wedding cake. Rather not get your hands dirty this weekend? Let the professionals do all the work and shop for eye-popping art online at eyesonwalls.com. It’s the perfect place to find whimsical, bold conversation starters for your bare walls. No one wants to bring it up, but fall is upon us, which means cooler temps, leaves changing colors, and the dreaded dry skin of winter. Keep your lips silky smooth this season with e.l.f.’s ultra affordable lip exfoliator, then indulge in a pretty plum-colored lip tint by Fresh. Introduce your pretty pout to super-fresh, super-local Dungeness crab at Seattle’s Bar Sajor restaurant—recently named one of the top 50 restaurants in the US by Bon Appetit Magazine for a menu-full of delicious reasons. Once you’ve had your fill of the Northwest’s most tempting seafood, head out to the Bluegrass on the Green Festival. This celebration of bluegrass music plays on today until Sunday, so you have all weekend to stomp your boots to strumming bangos.
