Pottery Painting

I'm addicted to Living Social. But we already covered that in a recent post. I'm happy to report that after yet another Living Social Adventure, I'm still a happy customer!

Last Friday, a girlfriend and I met at Terra Mia, a pottery painting spot in Noe Valley. For $30, we enjoyed two hours of BYOB 21+ fun, yummy snack platters and a $10 pottery piece (with the option of paying for a more expensive one). There were two women from Terra Mia and several Living Social staff there mingling and offering up painting tips and tricks. We won't be able to pick up our finished pieces until this weekend because the lovely ladies of Terra Mia have to glaze and bake them, but here are some photos to give you an idea.

Were we embarrassed to be recognized as regulars? Not one bit! In fact, we got the inside scoop on an upcoming ugly sweater pub crawl - holy moly, count us in!

Living Social Adventures

I'm not a big fan of cheesy or cliche... but when it comes to Living Social... I just can't help myself! Living Social might be just another trendy online social offering, but they trump every other discount sight, especially when it comes to their adventure packages.

Earlier this year I went wine tasting in Napa with three girlfriends. For $80 (most wine country bus tours are upwards of $150) we were bussed from San Francisco to Napa, visited two wineries, recieved private tours and tastings, a tasty box lunch from a local eatery, and cupcake and cheese pairings. The two Living Social staff members who tagged along made for entertaining and interactive bus rides both ways.
We couldn't have had a better time!


More recently, three friends and I bought $30 tickets for an 80's themed roller skate dance party at Cell Space. The price included skate rentals, three hours of skate time, dance instruction (Thriller on skates - Um YES!), and one drink ticket for the bar. Epic.


 Right now there are two deals I'm tempted to buy up - A one-hour yoga class with yogurt brunch, and a two-hour pottery painting class. Both are $30.
