Sweet Science is hosting an ice cream tasting on Saturday. I’ve tried their ice cream before at a Yelp event and it is absolutely OUT OF THIS WORLD! I cannot describe to you how mind blowing their locally sourced, organic ice cream is. Just go and try it. You will thank me. They have plenty of standard flavors and also fun ones like olive oil, sweetcorn blueberry, pear Riesling sorbet and roasted banana.
15 flavors will be available for sampling. This ice cream is not budget friendly if you plan on inhaling it by the scoopful but it’s definitely worth checking out. Find a flavor you love, buy a pint (about $9) and savor each spoonful slowly. This is definitely one local product worth splurging on (and also makes a great gift!).

September 19th marks the start of a new semester of the Minneapolis St. Paul Beer School. Beer School holds classes Wednesday evenings at Republic • Seven Corners.
Though there will be beer in every class, our goal at BBSU is not simply to just drink beer, but to educate you on all aspects of the beer community, giving you the tools and knowledge to help you become completely well rounded and informed. Here at BBSU we believe, that “an educated beer drinker is a better beer drinker.”
So, in addition to all of the great beers you will get to sample and brewers you’ll get to meet, we’ll also bring in special guests such as hop growers & maltsters, learn more about the distribution networks, MN laws, brewpubs vs. breweries, etc…
This semester will be 13 weeks. The pre-sale cost per semester is $42.39 w/service fee (click here for purchasing info). Your tuition will include your supplies (notebook, beer samples, pint glass, how-to-brew DVD, and catalog) from “Northern Brewer”.

I’m planning a trip and found an amazing travel journal by Minneapolis etsy seller wayfaringart. This rustic leather journal would make a fantastic gift and at $36, it’s pretty affordable!
Leather travel journal with skeleton key $36
With this Goldstar deal, pay $27.75 and receive 2 AMC Gold Tickets, 2 drinks and 1 popcorn (Reg. $38). I find that the budget Riverview Theater is a much better deal but for those who want to see a movie as soon as it releases, this is a great option for saving some money. This also makes a great gift idea!
One of the things I crave in winter is to snuggle with something warm. Sometimes that’s a blanket, my cats or my hubby. In any case, it’s always a good thing in the wintertime. I also really like using my Warm Hugs bag. These corn filled bags can be quickly heated in the microwave to provide warm, comforting heat for 20-45 minutes. Sometimes I like using these bags on super cold nights to cuddle with before the bed heats up at night and they are also great to relax sore muscles. You can also use these bags as a cool pack by putting them in the freezer but I don’t know who wants to talk about cold right now…
These bags come in a variety of sizes for different purposes and a variety of fabrics to suit every personality.
Warm Hugs Corn Bags are made in Burnsville, MN and can be purchased though their website and on Etsy. They make great gifts!
These bags can also be purchased at many Twin Cities locations:
Keep In Touch Massage – Burnsville, Eagan, Uptown
Quail Ridge Trading Co. – Bloomington
