Girls on the Grid

By Melissa Righero Do you ever see those girls with mermaid hair? Blonde hair combined with mint ombre, or magenta stripes through long chocolate locks? I see them. I see them everywhere. It drives me crazy. Because every hairstylist I go to tells me they can’t do those colors. Either they won’t. Or they...

Don’t judge me. Or do, I don’t really care: I love watching the Bachelor/Bachelorette. I cannot help it; it’s a total guilty pleasure. No, I am not stupid enough to think it’s actually about finding true love, but I am not too proud to admit that I find it thoroughly entertaining. If you’re not...

By Kellie Edson So I really like baking. I’m that annoying coworker who brings you treats you can’t resist when you are on a diet. That’s because, while I like baking, I don’t like the extra calories involved with EATING all my baking. Another thing…we eat a lot of bananas…but a lot of bananas...

Alanna: I am excited for increased tourism to our area and the community pride that will come from keeping a pro sports team in our city. Aimee: I’m not a big sports fan so I’m most excited about the prospect of a stadium revitalizing downtown. Breathing new life into the rail-yards is necessary to revitalize Alkali Flats...

By Laura Braden, Chantel Elder and Jamie Romas We’ve tried a lot of fitness fads. Half-marathon? Check (ok, for Jamie and Chantel). 30 days of Bikram yoga? Check (ok, Laura only went to like 3 classes). Golf classes? Jamie is all over it. So when we heard about a studio offering only spinning classes,...

By Chelsea Irvine Spring has majorly sprung in Midtown (and everywhere in California), and now is the time to get out there any enjoy the loveliness before it gets too hot to do anything but float in the pool. Spring is by far my favorite season, with the flowers in full bloom, farmer’s market...

  By Mary Beth Barber My hair was long – un-styled, almost un-manageably long. But I gritted my teeth and waited and waited to get it cut, because I wanted to donate it for charity. There are nonprofits that accept cut hair (at least 8-10 inches, preferably more) in order to make wigs for children...

By Laura Braden, Chelsea Irvine, Caroline Silveira and Julia Tanghetti From Outside Lands and Coachella to Mumford and Prince, we consider ourselves concert connoisseurs. So when we heard that there was a new festival planned in Napa in May, we said “giddy-up”. And BottleRock Napa didn’t disappoint. The Good  95% of everything – we were all impressed...

By Paola Baluyot A great Beatle once said, “You say I’m a dreamer, but I’m not the only one.” If you are business-savvy and this quote applies to you, then you may just have a shot at winning a $125,000 award package to start your own big business idea. Downtown Sacramento Foundation’s Calling All Dreamers,...
