Happy Mother's Day!

Sunday Funday at y&i!

It's no secret that once the weekend starts, life is good and all of the stress and worry from the week suddenly vanish. There is not a worry in the world until Sunday morning rolls around and reality hits: tomorrow is Monday. Whether it be worry, panic, or just pure sadness that your two days of freedom are gone (until the following weekend, of course), it is not a very pleasant realization, to say the least.

However, I am quite excited about the end of this weekend for one reason, and one reason only: Sunday Funday at y&i clothing boutique! This Sunday, August 5th, y&i invites you to beat this summer heat with a mimosa bar, 10% off all full priced merchandise, raffle prizes, and colorful cocktails.

Obviously, they had me at mimosa...but I am also super pumped about the raffle. If you purchase any item, your name will be put in a drawing for a chance to win 3 different summer giveaways! The raffle will be all day (12-6pm) and the winners will be contacted at the end of the day to collect their winnings! 

Sounds like the perfect way to end a great weekend! See you SUNDAY!

Q Custom Clothier Annual Clothing Drive

It's officially August 1st, and as summer draws to an end, so does your summer wardrobe. This means it's time to throw out the old and make room for the new! Although it may be easy to say sayonara to the sweltering Texas heat, sometimes saying goodbye to your favorite summer outfits can be rough, I know.

To avoid the separation anxiety and ease into Fall, take part in the Q Custom Clothier Clothing Drive this month! The custom menswear store has teamed up with Family Gateway again this year for their 8th annual clothing drive in an effort to provide the less fortunate with the proper apparel to rejoin the workforce and continue their upward path to becoming successful, self-sufficient individuals. 

Throughout the month of August, bring in gently used items to the store's location and in return for your donation, receive 15% off any new item ordered in the store. Gently used garments include shoes, dress shirts, suits, slacks, and sport coats.

Exclusive Brewing and Pizza Pairing Class at Union Bear!

Maybe I have been living under a rock- but have y'all heard of Google Deals? I know I never have, but when I stumbled across an exclusive brewing and pizza pairing class at Union Bear, I was very glad I did...

Join the class at Union Bear on August 19 at 4pm and learn the preliminary steps for homebrewing while getting great tips on how to pair pizza and beer. Pizza and beer? You can never go wrong with that combo in my book! 

The class is $35 per person (a $70 value) and can be purchased online until August 19. This is an incredible experience and is a part of Union Bear's Chef Exclusive. There is an added bonus, too: You will receive a $10 gift card to use toward your next visit.

For those of you who don't know, this West Village eatery is the ultimate go-to spot for pizza and beer. The "nano-brewery" has an extensive collection of local brews and is the place to sit down and enjoy a cold one. The collection has even been said, by the toughest of critics around, to to be quite impressive. As far as the food is concerned, the pizza never disappoints. The owner Matt Spillers, also owner of Eno's Pizza Tavern in Oak Cliff, knows what he's doing when it comes to these pies.

Be sure to buy your ticket soon! There are 6 days left to make your purchase, my friends. Once the word gets out about this deal, I know they will be going quick! 

P.S.- Also on the Union Bear radar is their beer and cheese pairing event with Scardello on August 8. Learn more about it here or check back on the blog later for more details!
