#Repost @blissfithealth • • • • • • This year would have been our 5th year of transforming our fitness and massage studio into a cozy craft fair and I am mourning not being able to host the event this year.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Our past holiday pop-up events have featured a carefully curated collection of artists and healers. We've had live DJs, massage, DIY gift wrapping, games, prizes, hot cider and treats. We've enjoyed community and connection, and found inspiration. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ While we can't do it in person this year, what we CAN do is continue to support our local makers by connecting you to their virtual listings. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Check out links to some of our past vendors in our blog post (link in bio).⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ blissfitoakland.com/blog/⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #shoplocal #keepitoakland #locallove #artistlife #artsy #craft #craftshow #jewelry #fashion #foodie #holidaygift #gift #treatyoself⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Sent via @planoly #planoly (at Oakland, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CIeFRbEhonZ/?igshid=1td5h202f1sfg

Oakland Love Charm! %100 of the money from the sale of this pendant will go to the Oakland indi-alliance repair fund http://www.oaklandindiealliance.com/repair Or go to @keepitoakland18 if you want to donate directly. This pendant is made a Rubino Oro (ruby gold) glass heart. The hand has a silver glass ring with a pink glass cabochon The cuff features a pink rosette motif with Ruby glass swags with ruby glass gems and a ruby glass bracelet. The purple-rosy details in the cuff of this pendant are made with a glass that is no longer produced and will probably never be produced again. (Very special) This figa is made with out the use of molds and is made completely by hand, it is one of a kind. It comes with a %100 silk ribbon so you can wear it right away, or put in on a charm necklace. The mano figa gesture is an ancient apotropaic symbol from pre-christian Rome and was made popular in Victorian Europe as a good luck charm. #keepitoakland #blacklivesmatter #flamework #lampwork #oaklandlove #alexisberger #manofiga #❤️ https://www.instagram.com/p/CA56u5xh_GH/?igshid=1n4g466a4sn2z

Coffee!! ☕ @hive.theplacetobee Makes a seriously good cup o'Joe. In addition to being open for window service daily from 8am - 2pm, they roast their own beans! Food also happens with locally sourced ingredients. #protip: On Sundays they do a mean biscut sandwich! Supporting local food businesses feels even more critical now than ever before. With the SIP orders stemming from efforts to #flattenthecurve of the current Corona Virus, we've been looking at how and where we are sourcing our food. As you're able, I encourage you to consider a CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) box. When you can, order from some of your local restaurants who do delivery or pick up. As you feel comfortable, visit your local farmer's market. The opportunity is here to support our local economy and maybe, just maybe, this new normal can be a *good* new normal. #supportlocalrestaurants #supportlocalbusiness #keepitoakland #coffeeislife (at Hive, the Place to Bee) https://www.instagram.com/p/CA3dQKoBK58/?igshid=im9viap951gt

Co-Owners Nelson and May German have created a cool neighborhood joint with aLaMar Kitchen and Bar (Corner of Grand Ave. and Valdez). Seafood forward, their Caribbean / Mediterranean restaurant keeps it fresh and interesting. Chef Nelson’s ability to turn out his takes on local and seasonal ingredients (Brentwood Corn in the Seafood Boils) is sure to please. A small but lively bar program has something for everyone in the group. Don’t miss the Coconut Margarita. If you want something “lighter”order a tasty mocktail special. And how can you not love a place that makes their own salt scrub for washing up when your hands get all greasy from the goodness? If you’re looking for a place to experience the rich flavors of the Caribbean, married with the influences of the Mediterranean, then head on over to aLaMar. #SWSEats #EatLocal @alamaroakland #Oakland #OaklandEats #keepitoakland (at alaMar Kitchen & Bar) https://www.instagram.com/p/B3p2Q53B9rb/?igshid=166r3l7fh3s31
