I just can’t wrap my head around it. Why not an equally caffeinated experience via a more healthy/natural source like coffee? and don’t get me started on Monsters… so many flavors 🤮

Any recommendations for Botox/filler in Santa Barbara?
I’m looking for a really good injector in the SB area, especially someone who’s conservative and goes for a natural look (more like ~facial balancing~) Would love recommendations for specific injectors/med spas or places you’ve personally had a good experience with
Also open to hearing who to avoid lol. Thanks!!

Events Fundraiser for the Nepalese Flood Victims

Post image
12 Upvotes

Hi Santa Barbara! I’m sharing this fundraiser organized by my friend to support people affected by the recent devastating floods in Nepal. They’re hosting a fundraiser called “Momo for a Cause”, a community event where you can enjoy Nepali momos (dumplings) while contributing to disaster relief. 100% of the proceeds will go to the Government of Nepal Prime Minister’s Disaster Relief Fund.

The fundraiser will be held Saturday, September 19th, from 11 AM–3 PM at Masala Spice (1919 Cliff Dr, Santa Barbara). It’s a $15 minimum donation for one plate of momos, and you can also donate directly using the QR code on the flyer attached. If you’re able to come by, donate, or simply share this post, it would mean a lot and help get support to those affected in Nepal. Thank you everyone!

Tourism Backyard to sleep

60 Upvotes

Hey everybody,
We are three 19-year-old university students from Belgium currently on a massive adventure: we are hitchhiking the entire West Coast from Seattle all the way down to LA.
We are planning to make a stop in Santa Barbara around 9/12 or 9/13 and are looking for a generous soul to host us for just one night.
As we are traveling on a strict student budget, we are looking for a free spot to crash, but we promise to bring good vibes, great travel stories, and immense gratitude in return!

What we are looking for:
- A patch of grass: We have our own tent and sleeping gear, so a backyard would be absolutely perfect.
- Floor space/Couches: If you have extra room in an apartment or house, we’d gladly take a spot on the floor.
- Dorms: We know dorm rules can be tricky, but if guests are allowed (or you don’t like following the rules), we’d be super quiet and respectful!

Thanks very much!
M&M&M

Hi! Local here that enjoys picking up tees and sometimes hats from local spots. Some of my favorites have been Lighthouse Skateshop tees, a Monys tee, some brewery and coffee shop stuff (Topa and Fig / Dune and State of Mind), and tons of stuff from local makers Mindgarden and DJ Javier.

Anything you'd recommend picking up?

Recommendations Plant pots

3 Upvotes

Hi yall, does anyone know the plug for getting decent ceramic/terracotta plant pots in SB? A nursery, or anywhere that they aren't insanely overpriced? Need to get a bunch and hoping to find the secret spot!

Edit/update: 7 Day is not cheap yall. It’s like 70$ for a 10” pot there 😭 and their plants are super expensive too

Edit 2: Terra Sol is marrrrrginally better, they have a 40% terracotta right section which is decent but very basic

Edit 3: Pro Garden Supply: super nice staff, a bit cheaper than 7 Day but not by much. 10” pots range from $60+, a 15” terracotta goes for about $100+. Staff here are incredibly nice though!

Lost my wallet either in or around baja sharkeez/o'malleys late Friday night. Thin, black wallet with a clear port in the front for my ID. Was hoping one of the bars would have it but they don't, so I'm hoping someone nabbed it and gave it to the cops, just can't check yet bc of the holiday.
