Designing a custom piece of jewelry is one of the most enriching and rewarding processes you can experience. To take your unique personality and put it into a jeweled work of art, either for yourself or as a gift, can make it your most personal and prized possession. At Alchemy, we are honored to have the opportunity to work with you and create something that is uniquely yours and can be treasured for many years to come.

Although you may believe that custom made jewelry will have a higher cost than something from the case, it’s not always true. Most of the time, we can produce a high quality, beautiful, stylish custom ring for less than many stores can sell an item of similar quality. The reason is that we create our jewelry in-house. We are a locally owned and efficient small business therefore can sell at a significantly lower markup.

The Aveda Institute opened in Portland in January on the corner of NW13th and Flanders. In addition to its great location you cannot beat the prices at this place. A haircut is only $13 and since it is a school they do not accept tips.

This is not your usual beauty school, not only do they deliever to the quality that one would expect given the Aveda name, but there are multiple instructors ready to help if needed and required to consult on every client.

If you do go there for a haircut. Let me reccommend Michelle, she gave me a great Reese Witherspoon style haircut that I absolutely adore. Additionally, she is a member of the first class to go through the school, so she is one of the more experienced students, which is evident given her attention to detail and skill with fine hair. If you cannot get in to see Michelle then ask to be placed with a senior or ask for the student with the seat closest to the windows near the street. Students stations are arranged by experience (year level) so the closer you are to the street the longer your student has been at the school.

Since it is a school, I experienced a long wait and even missed my eye brow wax appointment because my haircut went so far over, but given the money and quality it is a sacrifice I am happy to make. Plus it gives me an excuse to add a pedicure to my rescheduled appointment.

Perhaps best of all they accept and will cater to same day appointments.

It takes a lot of hard work and dedication to bring our customers the Baja Fresh experience. Fresh ingredients, expert preparation, clean cheerful surroundings, genuine smiles, value for the dollar, and prompt courteous service are a tall order to fill...and our people do it, day in and day out.

We're picky in how we prepare our food. We buy the best tomatoes, onions, peppers, and spices, making our numerous fresh salsas every day. We crush only the finest, ripest avocados for our guacamole in small batches all day long to ensure freshness. All this freshly prepared food takes a lot of extra effort, but our customers really eat it up.

The one thing that distinguishes Baja Fresh from everyone else is our commitment to freshness. At each of our locations your food is made to order and prepared FRESH. It's the only way to serve food and that's why it's the only way we do it!

This is a great place to eat out on the patio and drink a Portland-brewed beer such as Bridgeport IPA. It's been too long and I can't recall what I ordered, unfortunately. The atmosphere was great though.

They have really cool, fun and funky shoes. I recently bought a pair of Morenatom shoes that are not only comfortable, but they look great too. The service is hit and miss though, sometimes I get great service and other times I just get ignored, which is frustrating when you want to try something on.

i don't write many of these review things, but Kanani Pearl is a remarkable spa. Great service, great comfort, great people!!!!

Enjoy the music. Keep your radar open for live shows. They happen often if not predictable, or advertised.

Monique's Boutique has been home in the Pearl District for the past five years. Prior to that we were downtown on Morrison. Our goal is to offer fashionable clothing and accessories that makes you look and feel good. Monique Lampe established the boutique in 1987. She has had a career in modeling and has her degree in fashion merchandising and marketing. Much of the clothing she purchases is influenced by her European background.

Happy Hour runs from 3:30 - 6:30PM Mon-Fri, and again from 9 PM to close every day, with $2 - $4.50 menu items and beverage specials.

Founded in 1988, Portland Center Stage attracts more than 90,000 theatergoers annually. With five mainstage and two second-stage productions each season, PCS produces a blend of classical, contemporary and world premiere works, in addition to its annual summer playwrights' festival, Just Add Water/West. PCS is housed in the Gerding Theater, formerly Portland’s historic 1891 Armory Building. In 2006, following a $36.1 million renovation, the old armory was transformed into the Gerding Theater. The performance space includes a 599-seat main stage and a 200-seat black-box theater. In typical Portland fashion, the armory’s renovation was completed as a pioneering green project. The building is the first structure on the National Register of Historic Places to achieve a LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) Platinum rating. Located in the Pearl District neighborhood, the Gerding Theater is easily accessible via the Portland Streetcar line; the facility can also be rented for presentations, performances, receptions and other special events. For more information on Portland Center Stage, including a complete list of current and upcoming productions, visit www.pcs.org.

Powell's City of Books is a book lover's paradise, the largest used and new bookstore in the world. Located in downtown Portland, Oregon and occupying an entire city block, the City stocks more than a million new and used books. Nine color coded rooms house over 3,500 different sections, offering something for every interest, including an incredible selection of out-of-print and hard-to-find titles.

Be sure to grab a map – the store takes up an entire city block and it’s easy to get lost among 1 million books.

When LeRae was four she fell in love with a dog outside of school. When her mother, Carol, came down from her PTA meeting, the dog was sitting in the car ready to go home. Luckily, Carol was as big of a sucker for dogs so the only child got a new friend. Sis became her best friend and was ever so loyal since being rescued from a life of abandonment. Sis went to kindergarten with LeRae and then saw her off to college. Tears swell up as LeRae speaks of her favorite companion. Her love for dogs is stronger than ever and the support of giving dogs, like Sis a home, is the foundation for Recess in the Pearl.

Recess in the Pearl is a dog walking and in~home boarding service started in September by a local Pearl resident, LeRae Hunt. After finding her dream job in New York City as a part time dog walker, it made perfect sense to come home and move the leash out west.

Recess in the Pearl stands apart from other like services, due to its service standards and approach to dog walking. A meet and greet is set up to get to know your dog in its environment to learn about all the quirks that only the owner would know. You will have an opportunity to discuss previous dog walking and boarding experiences, as well as what happened over the weekend. The walker should become well acquainted with your dog and the owner as they will be spending time together. Having a small service versus an agency allows you to know who is with your dog. Each walk is personalized to fit your dog's routine and schedule. "It's the dogs walk, if he wants to spend 5 minutes smelling a bush, that's what we'll do."

In an effort to support the rescue agencies that make a huge difference in the Portland area, fifty cents from each walk is donated to local pet rescue missions. LeRae is currently involved with Oregon Dog Rescue and The Pixie Project and rotates the receiving organization monthly. "I learn about an new organization all the time, and it's important to support everyone with this cause." In addition to the donation of each walk if you are an owner of a rescue dog, a dollar is deducted from your walk price as a thank you for giving a dog a home.

Recess in the Pearl is proud to be a member of the Pearl District Business Association by working and living in the community. LeRae has traveled the world as an international flight attendant and to her; this is where her heart belongs. "I love the neighborhood and it is wonderful to finally find the dream job where I can be here all the time."

Look for LeRae and her pooches walking around the Pearl or visit the website for further information on making your pups day!
