Hi, I’m back. Took a little breather from the blog. I miss it! So, the new Burlingame Safeway is coming right along. There has been some delay in the finishing of the sidewalks and streets surrounding the store, apparently due to utility delays, but today I found this cool web cam site. After getting into the site, click on the Time Lapse button in the middle at the top and you can see the building of the site. So cool. I don’t know about you, but I’m looking foward to the new store. I’m going broke at Molly Stone’s 
. Enjoy! Burlingame Safeway Webcam

I say newest but really, Marlinda Wilson has been one of Burlingame’s premiere aestheticians since 1996. I never had the pleasure of receiving treatments at her former location but when she moved, my friend Liz, who has been a long time client of Marlinda’s, called me immediately and said I just had to blog about the new location. Well let me first say a huge “thank you” to Liz!!! Since learning about Marlinda and her spa’s services, I have had the ultimate pleasure in receiving some incredible treaments. From the moment I walked through the front door, I was greeted with a smile, soothing music, and I knew I was in a place where I could relax and be pampered. And I was. Everyone who works at the spa is very welcoming and accommodating, and the treatments that I’ve had are fabulous. I’ve received the MW Signature Facial, the PhotoActif Restoratative Facial and I’m not sure if I enjoyed the facial part best or the incredible neck and shoulder massage that comes along with it! Fantastic! And if you want your entire body to be the smoothest and silkiest its ever been, then enjoy the “Balancing Body Polish”, an exfoliating treatment followed by a massage using essential oils. Now that was “relaxed and pampered”.
Marlinda Wilson’s Day Spa celebrated their Grand Opening to a crowd of over 100 clients and guests on March 31st. There was great music, delectible food catered by San Francisco Catering, flowing champagne, and the chance to win fabulous prizes. Guests signed in and received a “passport” card with which they toured each treatment room to learn about the different services offered at the spa and got their “passport” stamped. When full, their passport was entered into a drawing. It was a very fun way of learning about all that the spa has to offer.
On a personal note, I am very impressed with how Marlinda and her sister Velba have put their hearts, souls, and I suspect blood, sweat, and tears into transforming the new home of Marlinda Wilson Day Spa. It really is beautiful and such a wonderful new addition to downtown. Located at 350 Lorton Avenue, just a block north of Burlingame Avenue. Look for the navy blue awnings and pretty window displays which are ever changing. But most of all, leave the stress at the door and then relax, pamper yourself, and invite a friend. Visit Marlinda’s website for more details on all of their services and you can even book online! They are open Tuesday through Sunday, 650-340-1700….ENJOY!
Burlingame Produce
On Saturday, Burlingame Produce celebrated its Grand Opening to a wonderful and steady crowd. The new site is a colorful addition to Lorton Avenue, just off Burlingame Avenue. For those of us who love the weekly farmer’s market, we now have the same, and more, fabulous vegetables and fruits available to us seven days a week. Depending on the season, the fruits and vegetables are imported or delivered from local farmers. There is a section for totally organic items
Organic Produce
and then multiple sections with other fruits, vegetables, meats, and cheeses. It really is a beautifully arranged store that has that small village feel with very friendly and helpful staff.
Also, in the store is Blue Bottle Coffee. I’m embarrased to say I had never heard of them before but I’m not a huge coffee drinker. When I heard they are an Oakland based company with locations in Palo Alto and SF, including the Ferry Building, I was impressed. Given my love of the SF Ferry Building boutiques and restaurants, again I was amazed I
Blue Bottle Coffee
had not heard of them. I guess I need to take up a more dedicated caffein intake. I had an informative education of Blue Bottle Coffee on Saturday and because of their intent to offer “the freshest coffee beans”, and mostly drip-to-order cups of coffee, I can’t wait to take my husband. He’s not into lattes and such but rather always orders a “cup of coffee” and this is supposed to be the best.
Don’t miss this great opportunity for wonderful produce and the best cup of coffee in town. Located on Lorton Avenue between Burlingame Avenue and Howard Street. Hours: Mon.-Fri. from 6:30am-7:00pm, Saturday from 7:00am-7:00pm, and Sundays 8:00am-6:00pm.
