Time to Break out the North Face and Uggs: Fall in Worcester

It's officially my favorite time of year!¹

And, to help everyone get in the fall spirit, here's a WORCESTERistas Top 5 compilation of what to look forward to:

1. The pumpkin spice latte has made its annual arrival at Starbucks. 

2. Pumpkin Spice beer at Armsby Abbey, the hot new bar on Main Street, featuring over 100 beers on tap, an an alleged hot spot for young professionals, at least on "Friday nights."²

3. Pumpkin bagels at Bagel Time on Park Ave.

4. Apple cider from the cute farm stand on Pleasant Street, just inches into Paxton.

5.  Apple picking from any one of the neighboring towns³ -- and all the yummy desserts that go with it! 

Of course we want to know what your favorite thing is, too! Let us know! 



------------------
1. Although I do love a good beach day, they're few and far between here in the Northeast! And I do love the many sweater options: I get cozy just thinking about a cardigan, chunky turtleneck, cable-knit crew...And, no, I won't stop wearing Uggs. I don't care if Vogue says they're "Out."

2. Review (and coordinating story) coming soon!

Hottie Watch: WSC Baseball

Introducing the Hottie Watch:  Because, really? We could all use a little eye candy every now and then!

LP's three mile workout time might be officially switched from the early hours of the morning to approximately 2:10 p.m.

While my DILFs are on sabbatical, the fine young men of Worcester State's baseball team have taken their place at Logan Field.  It seems baseball practice starts around 2 p.m.  America's favorite pastime just got a little sweeter for LP! 

I'm lacing up my Nikes now¹!

Keeping Your Bronze: Looking Smart Post-Labor Day

Ok, I admit. I'm definitely one of those girls who is darker in the winter than she is in the summer. I know, I know. I chaulk it up to the constant GRAY that seems to hover over not only Worcester, but all of New England from end of September through April¹.

But, in my defense, when it's in the twenty's outside and you get a twelve minute vaca of nothing but the bronzing rays, it's sure to put a smile on your (not-so-pasty) face. 

I'm an advocate for (moderate) indoor tanning²:

1. You regulate the amount of exposure you get v. baking outside all day in the damaging rays of the sun³.

2. You can't get enough Vitamin D!

3. Indoors you're exposed to more UVA rays v. UVB rays (think B for burning) 

And, in true WORCESTERistas fashion, we're going to share some tips:

> Before you go, check to see if any of the salons have a "first time free" with an ID.

> Two words: Student Discounts.

> Think ahead: Package deals are often more economic than paying as you go. (And you can save the extra dough and stop for a martini at 111 after!)

> If you've been to Indian Summer - West Side, you must check out the East Side location by Greendale Mall, Wild Willy's, and the new Carbonneau's location for your complimentary tan!

> Don't forget moisturizers after your tan - it's essential for the longevity of your color!

Get ready for your best Miss America impression and wave goodbye to the wintertime blues!

1. Who says we have four seasons? We have three: humid (better known as the 8 weeks from the end of June, through July and the first couple of August, chilly (August through October), and colder (everything else). Bla.

2. Moderate, because, really? Who wants to look like a California Raisin. Sure they can dance and sing...but it's not becoming for a lady! (Or orange like a poorly tanned Guido!)

3. Might as well just say, "Pass the barbeque sauce!"

Happy Labor Day from Worcesteristas!

(Although I'm not sure I should really be celebrating, being sans job and all! Oh well, a little eye candy never hurt anyone!)

Is it hot in here?

And, yes, it is ok to still wear white after Monday!

It's that time of year again...

...back to school!

Which really only means one thing around the Tatnuck area: new, fine college specimens to check out on my daily workout¹!

Things haven't been all that interesting on my three mile strut jog, now that Little League is over and the DILFs aren't out. (When does Little League start up again anyways? Answer: not soon enough.) We just get the occasional honk from the teenage admirers, the exaggerated stares from the brothers rollin' by, and, of course, the thumbs up from Wheelchair Guy who's always scootin' around Mill Street².

But, now, school's back in session (or soon will be for others!) and the eye candy will be plentiful.

1. Some call me Mrs. Robinson. I kid, I kid. And, it's not like they're all under 21. For instance, KG and I's new favorite bartender for martinis: self-described as on the "ten year plan at Worcester State." Not overly ambitious, but good to look at, and he makes one fine Cosmo.
2. All of these: always appreciated.

Props to our Alma Mater!

I can actually say, 100%, without a doubt, that I made my Daddy proud today - it's not every day that one reaches Forbes status.

(Especially not at 23! I thought I'd have to wait until at least mid-30s.)

At the end of July, Forbes released a list of the "Top Colleges For Getting Rich." Schools were ranked based on the pay of alumni with 10 to 20 years of work experience.

And, for the top 10, we have:

1. Dartmouth College

2. Princeton University

3. Stanford University

4. Yale University

4. Massachusetts Institute of Technology

6. Harvard University

7. University of Pennslyvania

8. University of Notre Dame

9. Polytechnic University of New York, Brooklyn

9. Worcester Polytechnic Institute

11. University of Chicago

Yeah, Tech!

Of course, haters argue that the people that go to these schools would be successful regardless, but, really? I don't see UMASS Lowell on the list¹.

I see good things in our future, KG!

1. It's OK, I have friends that graduated from here.

Jeffrey Roberts

Since I already had an oil change, and I also had Thursday off, I decided it was time to cash in that missed facial. I showed up about 30 seconds prior to my 9:00 am appointment, and I think I was visibly nervous as this was in fact my first time ever. While I really enjoyed the convenience of an early morning appointment on my day off, I actually really disliked this schedule shift when I tried to book other appointments around my work schedule.

ANYWAY. This experience really was excellent. There was a massage, an exfoliation (or three, I'm not actually sure). Then, there was a masque, followed by more massage. At this point, I actually got a little nervous that perhaps I hadn't booked the $25 facial, and would be asked for $65 upon checkout. Then, there was this weird gun like thing that used electricity & Argon gas to prevent post-facial breakouts. Then more massage. Then a moisturizing mask. Probably another massage. The point is, it was a good deal for $25.

Additionally, they are running a few other specials including a $35 mani/pedi combo, $35 brazilian ($55 at St Cyr, $65 normally. This is a good deal.), and some other awkward waxing and miscellaneous procedures.
