Get Cultured at the Hammer

I love getting cultured. And I love getting cultured for free - which is why I love the Hammer Museum in Westwood, because all their programs are free. For my Day of the Deal this week, I am attending a documentary screening on April 1 and following the screening, there is a Q and A with the director, which is always super-interesting. This week, "What's On Your Plate?", directed by award-winning Catherine Gund, covers kids and food politics in the New York city area. In the wake of "In the Defense of Food" and "Super-Size Me," this hot topic deserves our attention, and this documentary is supposed to be clever and funny. I'm so excited to check it out and hear the director's thoughts, not to mention that the Hammer has a great happy hour. (I love when my Day of the Deal includes alcohol - love it.) That is why the Hammer Museum always has a spot for my Day of the Deal.

Have Some Ghostly Fun!

I just need a pick-me-up. Something fun to look forward to. Something random. Something memorable. For my Day of the Deal, I could fly to Paris or I could do something a little closer to home. I found a deal on SocialBuy.com for an admission to the San Francisco Chinatown Ghost tours for $15, and it is normally $24. It was voted #1 for "Favorite Things to do in San Francisco." You are led through Chinatown by lamplight by a very experienced guide and it's super-creepy and fun, but also fascinating. It's a great activity to take your friends on when they come to visit - and with SocialBuy.com, it's a Day of the Deal! When you think Chinatown, I don't think the culture and history of Chinatown usually come up, which is why this is such an amazing Day of the Deal to take advantage of.

A Sports Deal You Can't Miss Out On!

Oh the Day of the Deal. Sometimes you find one so good, that it will literally make you the coolest person around. Like the Day of the Deal on SocialBuy.com where you can buy a VIP Suite 3-Game Package at the Staples Center for only $300 ($975 value). They're box seat tickets, so... the really nice ones. And these are legit games – like the LA Lakers game on March 21, the Kings game on April 13 and the Clippers game on April 12. Three amazing games in three weeks. That will help me meet my quota of a fun month. You can also get pre-game photos on the ice at the Kings game and other strange-but-nice perks. I mean, this is an AMAZING DEAL. It would make a great gift and you’re saving hundreds to dollars, HUNDREDS. What more could you ask for? (With the exception of meeting Khloe Kardashian at the Lakers game?) Go get your Day of the Deal!

I'm kind of in love with Justin Bieber - don't judge

So excited for this weekend and my Day of the Deal. I just bought a voucher on SocialBuy.com for $14 for 3 games of bowling & 3 shoe rentals at Jillian's Hi-Life Lanes, which has a $29.50 value. First of all, I love bowling and good food. My little sister is also ecstatic because Jillian's is where pop sensation and hottie-to-be Justin Bieber just filmed his last music video. Ok, I admit it, he kind of is a hottie now. Six years really isn't that much of an age gap is it? So my little sis, her friend and I are going with a couple of my friends to enjoy an afternoon of indulgence with our Day of the Deal. You can really never go wrong with bowling, it's such a nostalgic and family-friendly activity. So go redeem your Day of the Deal.

Finally, I can go shopping!

I love a Day of the Deal that spans the sunny Los Angeles weekend, which is what the Harmony Lane Annual Clearance Sale is. From now to Sunday at 189 S. Wilshire, you get 70% off anything in the store, from Earnest Sewn jeans, Park Vogel, Dita Eyewear and CC Skye. So I was just thinking to myself that I have absolutely nothing to wear and so I'm so down to go and spend my entire paycheck, no joke. A Day of the Deal that lasts the weekend and will supply me with a wardrobe till the end of the summer? Yes, please. I would invite you to go, but I don't want you to steal all the good buys at this Day of the Deal, sorry 'bout it.

Rummaging for Apartment Decorating

You know me - always on the hunt of the Day of the Deal, which consists of San Francisco daily deals as well as ones in Los Angeles. And for my next Day of the Deal (which is this weekend,) you will find me at the Oakland Museum Women’s Board White Elephant Salem, which is at Lancaster and Glascock St. It's the biggest rummage sale in Northern California and they 17 departments and sell everything from old bikes to art to books to vintage clothing to jewelry. Sounds like a stupendous Day of the Deal to me! Plus, everything is super-cheap and I'm redecorating my apartment and so I wouldn't mind browsing for that sort of thing. It's on Saturday and Sunday from 10 am to 4 pm. Yay hitting multiple birds with one stone. I love the Day of the Deal!

The Burger Joint for Grown-Ups

When I was little, I would always get a craving for McDonald's cheeseburger. Now that my tastes have matured, I love checking out more grownup burger places. On my Day of the Deal, I found a San Francisco restaurant deal on SocialBuy.com for $10 for $20 worth of yummy food and drinks at Burger Bar, which is in Union Square on Geary Street. I checked it out last night when I redeemed my Day of the Deal. I order the peppercorn burger which, in addition, to some fresh peppercorn, included spicy Dijon mustard - mmm. It was a juicy and unique burger and incredibly satiating. I followed it up with a custom hazelnut chocolate milkshake. So good, I almost died. Go get your Day of the Deal at Burger Bar on SocialBuy.com.
