I recently visited @piattiseattle while working on I recently visited @piattiseattle while working on a feature for @fabulouswashington highlighting their summer spritzers.

Along with trying the seasonal spritzers, I also had the flatbread and sautéed mushrooms while exploring a wine list featuring both Italian and Washington selections. It's always interesting to see how local restaurants bring those different influences together.

It's located in University Village, making it an easy stop if you're planning to do a little shopping afterward or are visiting the University of Washington.

@renardscheese ended up being a great first stop o @renardscheese ended up being a great first stop on our press trip and a perfect introduction to Door County.

Along with plenty of cheese, they also had local jams, wines, and other local products to browse. Needless to say, we didn't leave empty handed.

We left with cheese curds. They were very squeaky.

I recently had the opportunity to experience the Digital Detox Massage at @salishlodgespa

Designed for people who spend a lot of time on their computers, the massage focused on the neck, back, and hands, all places where I definitely carry stress.

Taking time to slow down and simply relax isn't something I do very often, and it was a good reminder that taking care of ourselves matters too.

Coffee has always been more than just a morning ro Coffee has always been more than just a morning routine for me, which is why I enjoy experiences that offer a deeper look into the process behind it.

This recent @surlatable coffee class at The Foundry in Seattle was a great opportunity to learn more about French press and pour-over brewing while appreciating the care that goes into every cup.
