Read on…\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nationwide, September marks the beginning of football season, the pumpkin spice latte invasion and the start of fall. And in many parts of the country, fall is also synonymous with two other things: bundling up — and most notably on the East Coast — leaves changing color. For those of us living in milder climates, the allure of autumnal foliage is intense. Montages of zipping down the road, stopping for cheese tastings (we’re in Vermont, we have to!) and witnessing all sylvan hues play in our minds.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, here, September is generally the harbinger of warmer temperatures that last through most of the season.

The biggest and most widespread fall transformation in the Bay Area takes place up north where rows of grape vines morph from green to stunning shades of yellow, red and orange. While there is no set place to visit, a drive through Napa and Sonoma counties in upcoming months will make viewing pit stops evident. Fortunately, wine country offers plenty of activities to bookend your journey.\u003c/p>\n\u003c/div>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n",

The biggest and most widespread fall transformation in the Bay Area takes place up north where rows of grape vines morph from green to stunning shades of yellow, red and orange. While there is no set place to visit, a drive through Napa and Sonoma counties in upcoming months will make viewing pit stops evident.

Thankfully there is a solution: since two years ago, Willow Creek Environmental Campground has had 11 first-come, first-served primitive campsites available to make your river adventure include a weekend stay in the beautiful outdoors. Located in the Sonoma Coast State Park near Jenner, these sites have picnic tables, fire rings and pit toilets. While most of the sites are located off a gravel road, three are more secluded and have a path to the river. There is no running water, but trash and recycling cans are on site, meaning you won’t have to pack your waste. In addition to swimming, fishing and hiking, a drive to the beach and lots of opportunities for wine tasting are close by. No dogs are allowed and fees are $35 a night.\n\u003c/p>\u003c/div>\n\u003chr>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"callout noborder\">\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11620694\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\" style=\"max-width: 400px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-thumbnail wp-image-11620694\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/05/Pantoll-Campground-Justin-Wilson-400x266.jpg\" alt=\"Pantoll Campground\" width=\"400\" height=\"266\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/05/Pantoll-Campground-Justin-Wilson-400x266.jpg 400w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/05/Pantoll-Campground-Justin-Wilson-800x531.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/05/Pantoll-Campground-Justin-Wilson-768x510.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/05/Pantoll-Campground-Justin-Wilson-960x638.jpg 960w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/05/Pantoll-Campground-Justin-Wilson.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Pantoll Campground \u003ccite>(Justin Wilson)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003ch3>Mount Tamalpais State Park\u003c/h3>\n\u003ch5>\u003ca href=\"http://www.parks.ca.gov/?page_id=471\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">More Information\u003c/a>\u003c/h5>\n\u003cp>There are two different walk-in campgrounds available on Mount Tamalpais: Pantoll, which has 16 sites, and Bootjack, that has 15.

The Napa Valley Wine Trains take passengers on a 36-mile round trip ride from Napa to St. Helena and back and offer a number of experiences, including six different winery tours with prices starting at $189. The Evening Winery Tour takes guests on a two-hour train ride where they are treated to a multi-course gourmet meal, followed by an after-hours tour and tasting at the Grgich Hills Estate. There’s also variety of dining oriented rides that start at $149. Visitors who wish to make a weekend of it, or those who prefer to go car-free, may want to opt for a special package like \u003ca href=\"https://www.winetrain.com/special-offers/wine-dine-and-dream/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Wine, Dine and Dream\u003c/a>. Starting at $379 for two people, the package includes one night at the Hilton Garden Inn, fine dining, a three-hour ride on the Vintage Train and a “Taste of the Valley” that gets you two-for-one tastings at select wineries. Take lots of photos so you can remember it.\n\u003c/p>\u003c/div>\n\u003cdiv class=\"callout noborder\">\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11613424\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\" style=\"max-width: 400px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-thumbnail wp-image-11613424\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/05/DC12CalWesternRR_PD-400x277.jpg\" alt=\"Skunk Train\" width=\"400\" height=\"277\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/05/DC12CalWesternRR_PD-400x277.jpg 400w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/05/DC12CalWesternRR_PD.jpg 650w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Skunk Train\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003ch3>Skunk Train\u003c/h3>\n\u003ch5>\u003ca href=\"https://www.skunktrain.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">More Information\u003c/a>\u003c/h5>\n\u003cp>Further north in Willits and Fort Bragg, the Skunk Train covers 40 miles of track that slices through redwood forests and features several experiences centered around a favorite summer pastime: barbecuing. Between Memorial Day and Labor Day, hop on the Sunset BBQ Train and treat yourself to a Southern feast in a NorCal forest. The train makes a roundtrip journey from Willits to Northspur Station which is located is next to the Noyo River. Adult tickets cost $84. Not into barbecuing? The Pudding Creek Express runs daily, taking passengers on an hour-long, seven-mile roundtrip alongside the namesake’s estuary passing animals like egrets, osprey and sometimes turtles, too, for $25 a ride. No outside alcohol is permitted on the trains, but a full bar featuring Skunk Beer (brewed by Anderson Valley Brewing Company) is available onboard.\n\u003c/p>\u003c/div>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

For fans of cool fashion and ephemera, the region has enough thrift stores, junk stores and antique stores to make a whole day trip of looking for that perfect something, be it books, cookware, furniture and even bikes. For this guide, we have both counties covered, so no matter where you’re spending your time or how you’re spending it, there’s a place listed here that’s worth making a short trip — probably shorter than you think.\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"callout noborder\">\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11146979\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\" style=\"max-width: 400px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2015/12/LyttonSprings-400x300.jpg\" alt=\"Lytton Springs\" width=\"400\" height=\"300\" class=\"size-thumbnail wp-image-11146979\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2015/12/LyttonSprings-400x300.jpg 400w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2015/12/LyttonSprings.jpg 599w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Lytton Springs\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003ch3>Salvation Army Lytton Springs\u003c/h3>\n\u003ch5>200 Lytton Springs Road, Healdsburg\u003cbr>\n(707) 433-3334\u003c/h5>\n\u003cp>Originally a hot springs resort built in 1875, Salvation Army Lytton Springs is located on a vineyard-facing hill so far in the middle of nowhere that one might mistake it for a rehab center. And actually, that’s exactly what it is – visitors will note the signs at the entrance explicitly prohibiting alcohol on the premises. Set around the main building, though, are a coterie of specialty outlets: a furniture store, an antique store, a country Americana store, an outdoor “digs”-type area and a large clothing store. Hell, there’s even a field of cars for sale. Because of its remote location, quality items at Lytton Springs tend to stick around a little longer, and the outdoor bins yield especially promising finds at dirt-cheap prices; for years, I’d buy $15 bikes to fix up and give to friends simply because they were so cheap. Budget yourself at least an hour here, if not two, and make sure your trunk is empty when you arrive – you’ll need the space. —\u003cem>G.M.\u003c/em>\n\u003c/p>\u003c/div>\n\u003cdiv class=\"callout noborder\">\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11146978\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\" style=\"max-width: 400px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2015/12/FattysThreads-400x400.jpg\" alt=\"Fatty's Threads\" width=\"400\" height=\"400\" class=\"size-thumbnail wp-image-11146978\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2015/12/FattysThreads-400x400.jpg 400w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2015/12/FattysThreads.jpg 600w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2015/12/FattysThreads-32x32.jpg 32w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2015/12/FattysThreads-64x64.jpg 64w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2015/12/FattysThreads-96x96.jpg 96w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2015/12/FattysThreads-128x128.jpg 128w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2015/12/FattysThreads-75x75.jpg 75w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Fatty’s Threads\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003ch3>Fatty’s Threads\u003c/h3>\n\u003ch5>1290 Sebastopol Road, Santa Rosa\u003cbr>\n(707) 578-6916\u003c/h5>\n\u003cp>You know that one thrift store that you hesitate to tell others about, for fear the secret will get out?

Operating as much a community hub as a junk store, the store’s amiable owner/ringleader Dave acts as a sort of neighborhood bartender—doling out advice, helping out those down on their luck, giving opinions when asked and quoting prices way below what you’d expect to pay.

The shop is also on “Antique Row” in Sebastopol, a stretch of Gravenstein Hwy. that’s home to numerous antique stores, including the much-recommended Antique Society, and funnels drivers southward toward Recycletown, an even larger salvage outlet located on Mecham Road at the Petaluma dump. —\u003cem>G.M.\u003c/em>\n\u003c/p>\u003c/div>\n\u003cdiv class=\"callout noborder\">\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11146980\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\" style=\"max-width: 400px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2015/12/PickoftheLitter-e1449691633710-400x353.jpg\" alt=\"Pick of the litter\" width=\"400\" height=\"353\" class=\"size-thumbnail wp-image-11146980\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2015/12/PickoftheLitter-e1449691633710-400x353.jpg 400w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2015/12/PickoftheLitter-e1449691633710-680x600.jpg 680w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2015/12/PickoftheLitter-e1449691633710.jpg 816w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Pick of the litter\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003ch3>Pick of the Litter\u003c/h3>\n\u003ch5>1701 Piner Road, Santa Rosa\u003cbr>\n(707) 570-2590\u003c/h5>\n\u003cdiv class=\"inside text\" style=\"width: 630px;float: left\">\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">The area around Piner Road and Cleveland Ave. in Santa Rosa is a sort of thrift-store mecca, with Goodwill, Habitat for Humanity’s RESTORE, and VNA Hospice all within a half-mile radius of each other.

Additionally, seniors receive 10 percent off every Tuesday and various sales take place throughout the year, including their annual holiday boutique. —\u003cem>K.P.\u003c/em>\n\u003c/p>\u003c/div>\n\u003cdiv class=\"callout noborder\">\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11135590\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\" style=\"max-width: 400px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2015/12/tiburonthrift2-400x533.jpg\" alt=\"Tiburon Thrift Shop\" width=\"400\" height=\"533\" class=\"size-thumbnail wp-image-11135590\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2015/12/tiburonthrift2-400x533.jpg 400w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2015/12/tiburonthrift2-450x600.jpg 450w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2015/12/tiburonthrift2-885x1180.jpg 885w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2015/12/tiburonthrift2-1180x1573.jpg 1180w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2015/12/tiburonthrift2-960x1280.jpg 960w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2015/12/tiburonthrift2.jpg 1350w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Tiburon Thrift Shop\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003ch3>Tiburon Thrift Shop\u003c/h3>\n\u003ch5>96 Main St., Tiburon\u003cbr>\n(415) 435-7605\u003c/h5>\n\u003cp>The tiny town of Tiburon is among the ritziest places in Marin, and the selection at its eponymous thrift shop on Historic Ark Row reflects this.

All of their housewares, including vintage glass mixing bowls, are chip- and rust-free, and coming across vintage sewing machines and instruments is not out of the realm of possibility.

For fans of cool fashion and ephemera, the region has enough thrift stores, junk stores and antique stores to make a whole day trip of looking for that perfect something, be it books, cookware, furniture and even bikes. For this guide, we have both counties covered, so no matter where you’re spending your time or how you’re spending it, there’s a place listed here that’s worth making a short trip — probably shorter than you think.\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"callout noborder\">\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11146979\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\" style=\"max-width: 400px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2015/12/LyttonSprings-400x300.jpg\" alt=\"Lytton Springs\" width=\"400\" height=\"300\" class=\"size-thumbnail wp-image-11146979\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2015/12/LyttonSprings-400x300.jpg 400w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2015/12/LyttonSprings.jpg 599w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Lytton Springs\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003ch3>Salvation Army Lytton Springs\u003c/h3>\n\u003ch5>200 Lytton Springs Road, Healdsburg\u003cbr>\n(707) 433-3334\u003c/h5>\n\u003cp>Originally a hot springs resort built in 1875, Salvation Army Lytton Springs is located on a vineyard-facing hill so far in the middle of nowhere that one might mistake it for a rehab center. And actually, that’s exactly what it is – visitors will note the signs at the entrance explicitly prohibiting alcohol on the premises. Set around the main building, though, are a coterie of specialty outlets: a furniture store, an antique store, a country Americana store, an outdoor “digs”-type area and a large clothing store. Hell, there’s even a field of cars for sale. Because of its remote location, quality items at Lytton Springs tend to stick around a little longer, and the outdoor bins yield especially promising finds at dirt-cheap prices; for years, I’d buy $15 bikes to fix up and give to friends simply because they were so cheap. Budget yourself at least an hour here, if not two, and make sure your trunk is empty when you arrive – you’ll need the space. —\u003cem>G.M.\u003c/em>\n\u003c/p>\u003c/div>\n\u003cdiv class=\"callout noborder\">\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11146978\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\" style=\"max-width: 400px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2015/12/FattysThreads-400x400.jpg\" alt=\"Fatty's Threads\" width=\"400\" height=\"400\" class=\"size-thumbnail wp-image-11146978\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2015/12/FattysThreads-400x400.jpg 400w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2015/12/FattysThreads.jpg 600w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2015/12/FattysThreads-32x32.jpg 32w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2015/12/FattysThreads-64x64.jpg 64w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2015/12/FattysThreads-96x96.jpg 96w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2015/12/FattysThreads-128x128.jpg 128w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2015/12/FattysThreads-75x75.jpg 75w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Fatty’s Threads\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003ch3>Fatty’s Threads\u003c/h3>\n\u003ch5>1290 Sebastopol Road, Santa Rosa\u003cbr>\n(707) 578-6916\u003c/h5>\n\u003cp>You know that one thrift store that you hesitate to tell others about, for fear the secret will get out? Fatty’s Threads is such an in-the-know spot that there’s not even a sign out front – just a sidewalk overflowing with clothes, books, stereo equipment, baseball cards, magazines, tools, chewing gum, appliances, DVDs, posters, bicycles, sporting equipment, cleaning products, art supplies, model cars, records, patio furniture, toys, and whatever other manner of unpredictable inventory comes through the shop. Operating as much a community hub as a junk store, the store’s amiable owner/ringleader Dave acts as a sort of neighborhood bartender—doling out advice, helping out those down on their luck, giving opinions when asked and quoting prices way below what you’d expect to pay.

But it’s also filled with old milk jugs, vintage tools, antique signs, unusual furniture and other oddities, meaning that even those without a 1934 bungalow to remodel can find strange artifacts to repurpose. (In fact, a nearby studio belongs to Tom Waits, who’s no stranger to recording songs utilizing curiosities bought from Ray’s.) The shop is also on “Antique Row” in Sebastopol, a stretch of Gravenstein Hwy. that’s home to numerous antique stores, including the much-recommended Antique Society, and funnels drivers southward toward Recycletown, an even larger salvage outlet located on Mecham Road at the Petaluma dump. —\u003cem>G.M.\u003c/em>\n\u003c/p>\u003c/div>\n\u003cdiv class=\"callout noborder\">\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11146980\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\" style=\"max-width: 400px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2015/12/PickoftheLitter-e1449691633710-400x353.jpg\" alt=\"Pick of the litter\" width=\"400\" height=\"353\" class=\"size-thumbnail wp-image-11146980\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2015/12/PickoftheLitter-e1449691633710-400x353.jpg 400w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2015/12/PickoftheLitter-e1449691633710-680x600.jpg 680w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2015/12/PickoftheLitter-e1449691633710.jpg 816w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Pick of the litter\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003ch3>Pick of the Litter\u003c/h3>\n\u003ch5>1701 Piner Road, Santa Rosa\u003cbr>\n(707) 570-2590\u003c/h5>\n\u003cdiv class=\"inside text\" style=\"width: 630px;float: left\">\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">The area around Piner Road and Cleveland Ave. in Santa Rosa is a sort of thrift-store mecca, with Goodwill, Habitat for Humanity’s RESTORE, and VNA Hospice all within a half-mile radius of each other.

One More Time is a cavernous little space that prominently features current and vintage women’s fashion and jewelry at the front of the store, though men’s clothing and sporting goods are also available toward the rear.

Didn’t you find that to be a complete waste of a wish? Your concerns were limited to who was going to sit next to you at the movie theater and whether or not your parents got you the right Lego set. But after losing loved ones and undergoing your own health scares, your mortality becomes more evident and the wishes for good health take on a different meaning. Eating pizza and drinking beer with reckless abandon (or after 10) comes with a price beyond the initial cash spent. Hangovers linger longer, as do reminders of that extra piece of cake you had — it’s OK, though. Bay Area dwellers are a healthy crowd and you can be part of it. Just go into your local co-op and ask someone in workout clothes, eyeing the organic baby arugula, about their diet and workout routine.

We look at the mess, deem it untamable, and carry on. To prevent future stockpiling, consider bringing your gently worn clothes to one of the many buy-sell-trade stores in the Bay Area and walk out with some cash or perhaps something you’ll actually wear. The more regularly you clean out your closet the easier it will be and the more benefits you’ll get to reap.

Living in the Bay Area makes us really fortunate, considering we have such a wide array of travel opportunities that take us somewhere novel in a matter of hours.

People can be especially frustrating when you’re trying to find parking in your neighborhood after 6pm, or when MUNI is already at its glacial-pace and people crawl on only to get off at the next stop. Instead of draining your energy and nerves on things out of your control, try to put the situation into perspective. Will this really matter next week? Next month? Probably not. In fact, you’ll likely forget about it tomorrow. Surely you’ve held up a line before because you forgot your wallet at home, or experienced the death stare of 80 people when you were the last passenger getting on a plane.

While denial (overall) can be comforting and offers temporary solutions to many of life’s problems, it’s basically like sucking your thumb when you really need stitches. Some days we don’t want to accept responsibility for not washing the dishes and prefer to credit the mess to our housemates. But deep down we know which is our own cereal bowl. Same thing goes for saving money. Sushirrito is as glorious a bastardized gimmicky roll of deliciousness there ever was, but for $12 a pop, there must be a better way to spend that money. Speak the truth, now. Opting to make lunch at home isn’t the only way you can painlessly save. Everyone wants to have good hair, but spending $200 for a cut and color is understandably hard to swallow.

Some people love them (see: gym owners), while others abhor them (see: chocolatiers), but most people seem to have a more ambivalent, even downright contradictory relationship with them.

Sure, your head is pounding, you knocked over your water glass at some point during the night — do you even have any ibuprofen? It doesn’t matter, your transformation is imminent. You’re wondering if Grubhub is delivering this early, but then you pick your iPhone (praying it’s not waterlogged) off the floor and realize it’s almost noon. The sinking feeling that change is going to be harder than you thought five minutes ago begins to settle in. You dismiss this as a champagne headache, make your way to the kitchen, and start boiling water for tea cause, hah, your stomach can’t handle coffee right now. How are you going to: lose weight, get rid of unnecessary items, save money, be more patient, travel, and do something for charity?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The water is ready, you rip open the tea wrapper, and find your answer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>You’re not willing to accept this.

Plus, you can even volunteer \u003cem>virtually\u003c/em>. So if you make time to shop online (surely not during work hours) and get all those mystery packages from Amazon, then you really have no excuses. The SF-Marin Food Bank is always looking for volunteers and all it takes is a three-hour shift to provide various local food pantries with over 100,000 meals a day. Signing up is straightforward: you can register, view, and select available shifts on their \u003ca title=\"voluteer\" href=\"http://www.sfmfoodbank.org/volunteer\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">site\u003c/a>. Not only are you doing something good for the community, you’re building your own community as volunteering is a great way to meet new (as well as generous and compassionate) people in a non-work/school/bar environment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2014/12/beautiful.jpg\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2014/12/beautiful-400x300.jpg\" alt=\"beautiful\" width=\"400\" height=\"300\" class=\"alignright size-thumbnail wp-image-10264385\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2014/12/beautiful-400x300.jpg 400w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2014/12/beautiful.jpg 640w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\">\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Lose Weight and Drink Less\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Do you remember when you were a kid and relatives would wish you “good health” on your birthday? Didn’t you find that to be a complete waste of a wish? Your concerns were limited to who was going to sit next to you at the movie theater and whether or not your parents got you the right Lego set. But after losing loved ones and undergoing your own health scares, your mortality becomes more evident and the wishes for good health take on a different meaning. Eating pizza and drinking beer with reckless abandon (or after 10) comes with a price beyond the initial cash spent. Hangovers linger longer, as do reminders of that extra piece of cake you had — it’s OK, though. Bay Area dwellers are a healthy crowd and you can be part of it. Just go into your local co-op and ask someone in workout clothes, eyeing the organic baby arugula, about their diet and workout routine. People love talking about those things.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2014/12/recycle.jpg\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2014/12/recycle-400x300.jpg\" alt=\"recycle\" width=\"400\" height=\"300\" class=\"alignright size-thumbnail wp-image-10264386\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2014/12/recycle-400x300.jpg 400w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2014/12/recycle.jpg 640w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\">\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Get Rid of Unwanted Items\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>We love our stuff. Our stuff is everywhere — commandeering our garages and packing them to capacity with clothes and furniture and old bills we haven’t touched in years, leaving the cars we value and use every day exposed to the elements in our driveway. It’s pretty bad. And lets not get started on storage units… Much like creating and keeping resolutions, part of the challenge is trying to tackle the whole issue without a plan of action. We look at the mess, deem it untamable, and carry on. To prevent future stockpiling, consider bringing your gently worn clothes to one of the many buy-sell-trade stores in the Bay Area and walk out with some cash or perhaps something you’ll actually wear. The more regularly you clean out your closet the easier it will be and the more benefits you’ll get to reap. Motivation and rewards fuel a chain reaction effect, so who knows, maybe you’ll be inspired to make room for your car inside the garage!\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2014/12/manners.jpg\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2014/12/manners-400x300.jpg\" alt=\"manners\" width=\"400\" height=\"300\" class=\"alignright size-thumbnail wp-image-10264387\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2014/12/manners-400x300.jpg 400w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2014/12/manners.jpg 640w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\">\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Cut Out Toxic Friends\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>When it comes to friendship, no one can encapsulate my views on it better than Ann Friedman, so I’m just going to go ahead and quote a part of her \u003ca title=\"shine theory\" href=\"http://nymag.com/thecut/2013/05/shine-theory-how-to-stop-female-competition.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">“Shine Theory,”\u003c/a> which is directed at women, but applies to everyone. “I want the strongest, happiest, smartest women in my corner, pushing me to negotiate for more money, telling me to drop men who make me feel bad about myself, and responding to my outfit selfies from a place of love and stylishness, not competition and body-snarking.” Plainly put, life is too short for crappy people.

Living in the Bay Area makes us really fortunate, considering we have such a wide array of travel opportunities that take us somewhere novel in a matter of hours. From Big Sur to Big Basin to Lake Tahoe, there are a multitude of places where you can get away on any kind of budget. And regardless of whether your excursion is a fantasy montage of meditation and massages at the \u003ca title=\"post ranch inn\" href=\"http://www.postranchinn.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Post Ranch Inn\u003c/a> or charred hot dogs that fell in the fire pit, studies show that sharing experiences with other people gives us more pleasure than going it \u003ca title=\"shared experiences\" href=\"http://www.theatlantic.com/health/archive/2014/10/the-importance-of-sharing-experiences/381493/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">alone\u003c/a>, so bring your friends and laugh about it either way.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2014/12/compassion1.jpg\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2014/12/compassion1-400x300.jpg\" alt=\"compassion\" width=\"400\" height=\"300\" class=\"alignright size-thumbnail wp-image-10264389\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2014/12/compassion1-400x300.jpg 400w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2014/12/compassion1.jpg 640w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\">\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Be More Patient\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>People can be frustrating. People can be especially frustrating when you’re trying to find parking in your neighborhood after 6pm, or when MUNI is already at its glacial-pace and people crawl on only to get off at the next stop. Instead of draining your energy and nerves on things out of your control, try to put the situation into perspective. Will this really matter next week? Next month? Probably not. In fact, you’ll likely forget about it tomorrow. Surely you’ve held up a line before because you forgot your wallet at home, or experienced the death stare of 80 people when you were the last passenger getting on a plane. So next time you’re inclined to be brusque and let someone know what a pain they’re being, remember yourself and practice empathy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2014/12/pays.jpg\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2014/12/pays-400x300.jpg\" alt=\"pays\" width=\"400\" height=\"300\" class=\"alignright size-thumbnail wp-image-10264390\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2014/12/pays-400x300.jpg 400w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2014/12/pays.jpg 640w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\">\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Save Money\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Telling ourselves \u003ca title=\"little lies\" href=\"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kyE4CLM0QIA\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">lies\u003c/a> over and over until we consider them truths is insanely appealing. While denial (overall) can be comforting and offers temporary solutions to many of life’s problems, it’s basically like sucking your thumb when you really need stitches. Some days we don’t want to accept responsibility for not washing the dishes and prefer to credit the mess to our housemates. But deep down we know which is our own cereal bowl. Same thing goes for saving money. Sushirrito is as glorious a bastardized gimmicky roll of deliciousness there ever was, but for $12 a pop, there must be a better way to spend that money. Speak the truth, now. Opting to make lunch at home isn’t the only way you can painlessly save. Everyone wants to have good hair, but spending $200 for a cut and color is understandably hard to swallow. Luckily, there are hundreds of hair school graduates going through their training programs throughout the city, refining their skills and getting one day a week to take models.

The organizing committee is proud to host historian \u003ca href=\"http://www.history.ucla.edu/people/faculty/faculty-1/faculty-1?lid=6785\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Robin D.G. Kelley\u003c/a> as one of the evening’s keynote speakers — Dr. Kelley will present a Lifetime Achievement Award to Marcus Bookstore (the nation’s oldest black-owned bookstore, located in the Fillmore District) as it faces an uncertain future. Community members have been rallying over the past year in an ongoing campaign to save the store from eviction; its current building is being sold. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The program features an array of offerings ranging from panels of young, queer writers sharing original pieces about their experiences being \u003ca href=\"http://oregonstate.edu/pridecenter/terms-and-definitions\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">LGBTQQIA\u003c/a> to presentations about how the war on drugs is used against populations in cities and rural areas across Mexico, Columbia, and Central America.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A year and a half after the initial three-person chat, the Howard Zinn Bookfair committee has grown significantly and hopes that this will become an annual affair. Mission High School is set to serve as the venue for the 100+ authors who will converge in rooms named after local activists like Bill Sorro and Gloria D. Anzaldúa for readings, roundtable discussions, moderated panels, and more.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Howard Zinn Bookfair will be held at San Francisco’s Mission High School on Saturday, Nov. 15, 2014 from 10am to 5pm.

The organizing committee is proud to host historian \u003ca href=\"http://www.history.ucla.edu/people/faculty/faculty-1/faculty-1?lid=6785\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Robin D.G. Kelley\u003c/a> as one of the evening’s keynote speakers — Dr. Kelley will present a Lifetime Achievement Award to Marcus Bookstore (the nation’s oldest black-owned bookstore, located in the Fillmore District) as it faces an uncertain future. Community members have been rallying over the past year in an ongoing campaign to save the store from eviction; its current building is being sold. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The program features an array of offerings ranging from panels of young, queer writers sharing original pieces about their experiences being \u003ca href=\"http://oregonstate.edu/pridecenter/terms-and-definitions\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">LGBTQQIA\u003c/a> to presentations about how the war on drugs is used against populations in cities and rural areas across Mexico, Columbia, and Central America.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A year and a half after the initial three-person chat, the Howard Zinn Bookfair committee has grown significantly and hopes that this will become an annual affair. Mission High School is set to serve as the venue for the 100+ authors who will converge in rooms named after local activists like Bill Sorro and Gloria D. Anzaldúa for readings, roundtable discussions, moderated panels, and more.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Howard Zinn Bookfair will be held at San Francisco’s Mission High School on Saturday, Nov. 15, 2014 from 10am to 5pm. For \u003ca href=\"http://howardzinnbookfair.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">more information\u003c/a>, visit howardzinnbookfair.com.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
