Again this year I’m serving as an ambassador for the American Heart Association’s “Go Red” campaign. Feb 6th is National Wear Red Day, and I’ll be teaming up with Seattle Magazine’s entertainment and lifestyle expert Kelley Moore at the “Go Red in Style: Wear Red Day at Bellevue Mall” event from 6 – 8 PM.

Kelley and I will take the stage at Bellevue Square, Center Court, Friday, February 6th at 6:30 pm to give you some great ideas for keeping your commitment to “go red” while entertaining. Come have a lot of fun while learning ways to love your heart.

Need additional incentives to take care of your heart? There’ll be swag bags for 50 lucky ladies in the audience. Plus you could win a chance to meet Project Runway’s Nick Verreos. You and your best friend could get two VIP tickets to Project Red Dress on February 13, and meet Nick Verreos backstage. To enter, register to join the Go Red movement during the Wear Red Day event at Bellevue Square.

The event is free—and no advance registration is required—so get your girlfriends together and unite in the fight against heart disease on Wear Red Day!

Listen to my KOMO radio spot, Thursday afternoons and throughout the weekend, for a reminder of this event.

The American Heart Association’s “Go Red for Women” campaign is sponsored by KOMO 4; Seattle Magazine; Macy’s; and Merck.

Kissing just got a little tastier with Carol Frieberg’s new book, The Best Places to Kiss Cookbook: Recipes from the most Romantic Restaurants, Cafes and Inns of the Pacific Northwest, Sasquatch Books. This book is a great place to start when planning a meal for that special someone. Recipes include Fresh Oysters with Tobasco and Lemongrass Granitè, from Point No Point Resort in Sooke, BC and Duck Breast Salad with Peaches and Hazelnuts from Crush Restaurant in Seattle. Sounds like a great meal to get you in the mood! Get inspired to spice things up and pick up a copy in time for Valentine’s Day.
