Investing in yourself is not a luxury, it’s a ne Investing in yourself is not a luxury, it’s a necessity.
 
Self-care is something we all know we need more of, but when it comes down to it, it’s difficult to carve out the time and it’s often the first thing to go when the demands of life become overwhelming. Yet it’s probably the thing we need the most to keep us balanced and at peace during busy and challenging times.
 
In honor of International Women’s Day, Brouwer & Janachowski is presenting a complimentary webinar called DISCOVERING WELLNESS where you will have a chance to learn from the experts on integrating new powerful, life-changing skills and habits into our daily routines. Transforming and elevating our lives to be more healthy and fulfilling.

First known as Boston Ravine, and then officially First known as Boston Ravine, and then officially named Centerville, Grass Valley was finally named as such — for unknown reasons — in 1852, the year after its post office was established. Empire Mine and North Star Mine, which are both located within the town, produced vast amounts of gold and made Grass Valley the wealthiest of all California mining settlements. Many tin miners from Cornwall, England came to the area during the Gold Rush and the town celebrates their heritage to this day, with annual Cornish Christmas and St Piran’s Day festivities. Strolling down the quaint streets of downtown, visitors will see bustling shops, restaurants and dozens of buildings that date back to the mid-19th century.

MacDonald Vineyards, situated in Oakville at the heart of Napa Valley, neighbors Robert Mondavi Winery. Their 15 acres, famously known as part of the historical To Kalon (or To-Kalon) land, is one of the most recognized — and valued — parcels in Napa Valley. The MacDonalds, who grew up in Mill Valley, are bottling wines using their name for their brand and in the process, writing a new chapter in the history of their family’s esteemed property. 🖊: @eatdrinkthink.

Most Marin County residents have little first-hand Most Marin County residents have little first-hand knowledge of Marin City, the tiny hamlet of just over 3,000 people — in a county of about 260,000 — tucked into the base of the Marin Headlands east of Sausalito.

Some know only the Wikipedia snapshot — Marin City was established to house 6,000 Marinship shipyard workers during World War II, it is the only predominantly Black neighborhood in Marin County, and Tupac Shakur lived there in his teens — but not much else.

Almost 80 years after William and Clara Bullock moved from Louisiana and settled into the dormitory-style worker housing in the flatlands of this enclave, their grandson, Bishlam Bullock, owner of Salon B in San Rafael, spoke with us about his family’s history and his experience growing up as part of one of the original multi-generational families of Marin City.
