ABOUT THE COMPANY

U.

That’s right, U.

As in if U are not hungry yet, U are going to be after reading this.

Crème filled cookies in all flavors, even peach. Moist cakes. Crème puffs. Tender chicken and spinach stuffed flaky turnovers, mushroom potatoes, broccoli soup, chicken breast in herb sauce, stuffed cabbage rolls in a sweet and sour sauce topped with fresh sour cream, wild Alaskan salmon, croissant sandwiches, broccoli soup, crisp salads and even borsch and piroshkis.

Canyon County is fortunate to have all of this, and more, deliciously made by some of our favorite U-krainians, Galina and Alex Antonov, the owners and operators of the Royal Bakery. This tasty and tempting bakery and café is U-nique, to say the least. When picking up a special order birthday cake, don’t be surprised if you end up staying for lunch. It’s the perfect place to relax and enjoy good food, a cup of coffee, and the friendly and talented proprietors’ company.

CitySmart wants to treat you like royalty with today’s kingly deal: $ 5 for $ 10 to spend at the Royal Bakery and Café!

It’s almost lunch-time, so click the ‘Buy Now!’ button and enjoy red carpet treatment for your taste buds at the palatable palace that everyone’s talking about.

ABOUT THE COMPANY

$ 15 for $ 30 to spend at Revamp Home & Clothing Consignment Shop!

Just let me tell you why this is so fantastic: Because since I’ve discovered Revamp, my wardrobe not only improved, so did the balance in my checking account.

Revamp also happened to be the ONLY place around one day—consignment or otherwise—where I could find a hot pink sweater for a costume party (and a cute one, at that!) I had a feeling they’d have it; and they did.

If you haven’t tried a vintage dress, let me give you fair warning; when you do, you’ll get mad. Not because the dress doesn’t fit. Quite the opposite. The dressmakers of yesteryear created pieces that actually did fit, and very well, too. Clothing designed for an actual real live female, not a mannequin. This is why people get turned on to vintage and won’t leave it alone, and at Revamp, the sizes go from teeny-tiny to just about whatever size beyond that. With new merchandise coming in all of the time, it’s not unheard of to see some Anthropologie items, DownEast Outfitters-wear or Dooney & Bourke bags and wallets.

Items for the home top off your good mood as you go from room to decorated room, feasting your eyes on things that would look so great in your own castle. With décor that makes you dream, and walls the color of a tropical ocean to make trinkets and treasures pop, you’re going to feel spoiled by your surroundings. Revamp your wardrobe and your home by clicking the ‘Buy Now!’ button to bring more beauty into your life, no matter where you look.

ABOUT THE COMPANY

Dry mouth, heart palpitations, breathlessness and the reduced ability to speak or think clearly. Most sufferers are surprised to learn that they are not alone (far from it) in this shockingly common, although often unspoken, fear.

Nope, it’s actually not claustrophobia — nice try, though, and a very similar ailment. This one doesn’t yet have a name; only a description. It’s what happens when your inner artist is trapped within you. You can almost hear it now, begging to be released. ‘Let me out, let me out! I want to p-l-a-y!’ it says, over and over again. And bad news; if you ignore it, it only gets louder and more insistent. It will pound on the door, and look out forlornly, hoping against hope for eventual freedom. Imagine life without this feeling; imagine being confident and at ease when you used to feel tense. This can be yours, when you free the inner artist.

My old psychology professor used to say that the more ways you find to express yourself, the healthier you are, psychologically-speaking. Art counts as a form of expressive therapy. There is a belief in the inherent healing power of the creative process of art-making. You can express yourself uniquely, genuinely, and spontaneously, and become both relaxed and entertained. This can lead to the Holy Grail of Life: Personal Fulfillment and Emotional Reparation. (Wow, my old professor would really be impressed with all of that!)

Fortunately for us, we have the Fire and Ice Pottery Studio in our midst. It’s a great place to decompress, unwind, and slow down. (You can do all three at the same time. It’s like multi-tasking, but not.) Take advantage of this especially-expressive CitySmart deal. $ 20 towards anything in the studio. All told, you’ll pay as little as ten bucks. Talk about a wealth of creativity! Get a CitySmart art deal today and grab one for your family or friends, too. Because artistic liberation is one of the best gifts you can give. Now both you and your loved ones can say to your inner artists, "Be free!"  We heart art.
