Art Walking: The Provo Gallery Stroll illuminates University Avenue in Provo tomorrow night. Jessica Peterson’s “PEEL” looks promising. Get details here.

It’s Universal: See the Beatles-turned-musical with your Salt Lake buddies when “Across the Universe” plays Friday night (free of charge!) at Pioneer Park. See the remainder of the impressive “Picture Show” lineup here.

Yoga in the Open: We like how they say it: “You bring a mat, towel and water. An instructor and beautiful setting will be provided.” (As long as you consider Pioneer Park at 7 a.m to be a beautiful place.) Complimentary yoga classes are Tuesdays and Thursdays through August.

Tootsie Roll: The Sundance Outdoor Film Series brings us Dustin Hoffman all dolled up when “Tootsie” takes the screen on Monday night at the Gallivan Center at 9 p.m. We daresay The Graduate never looked so good.

As for next week, gear up for Nada Surf, though we hear the crowds are rough and tough at these shows. Keep yer cool, friends.

Spotted: Sun hats galore!

Good For: Gettin’ your celebrity starlet on, and keeping the UV rays out. Just don’t forget your oversize sunglasses.

Where: Apt. 202 (850 E. 900 South, Salt Lake City)

How Much: Around $30 apiece

Our girl Heidi is starting up her own business (yahoo!) and in need of someone to design a business card for her, as well as a referral on printing. Anyone have a company/firm/freelancer they love? We sure like the team at Seraph for some pretty, cool letterpress.

Share your thoughts below, por favor.

When your house needs a nice smell do you have time to reach for the nearest bouquet of flowers or the budget for a disposable designer candle? Pshaw, right. Erin Mehler, YHO’s resident Scentsy representative, will tell you that an in-the-know 2008 house operator would reach for her Scentsy bar, duh.

“Scen-what,” you ask? It’s Scentsy, and it’s out to rule the good-smelly world. These flameless candles in bar-form and their adjoining (not to mention attractive) warmers leave your house without fire and soot. Which means more good scents—and good sense—and less smoke. They come in 80 different flavors like Coconut Lemongrass, White Tea and Cactus, and Wasabi Ginger, to name a few. Mmmm.

{Doorprize!} Erin is out to gift one YHO reader with a “Perfect Scentsy” package, which includes two Scentsy Warmers of your choice as well as six Scentsy bars to get you started (an $80 value). Want a smell-good house, courtesy of Erin and Scentsy? Leave just one comment on this post before midnight on Friday, August 1.

You can learn more about Scentsy here.

Anyplace where there is a significant number of golf courses, early-bird specials or AARP members will, most likely, also have a significant number of treasure troves in the form of vintage and consignment stores.

Take Palm Springs, California, for example, where estate sales run amok. Or—better since it’s just a wee five hours from Salt Lake City—St. George, Utah. A recent jaunt to the southern portion of the state turned up many pleasantries, but one that shined brightest was Urban Renewal, situated right on the Boulevard alongside mid-century hotels with kidney-shaped swimming pools.

Urban Renewal scouts out consigned and found vintage furnishings as well as used-but-cute apparel. Walk inside, and your inner antique scout will steer you directly toward a vintage blue tablecloth with white scalloped stitching or a tea set fit for your grandmother’s windowed hutch. Or maybe it’s a ’40s-era striped cigarette case or gingham apron that will speak to your heart.

Our crew left with a set of yesterday’s place mats, embroidered dishtowels and a baby blue train case. We left behind vintage kitchen chairs, enameled brooches, midcentury cribs and, as you can probably imagine, house-fulls more.

The best part is that unlike many of Salt Lake’s consignment stores, a glance at the price tags at Urban Renewal won’t leave you gasping. Plus, it’s easy to shop thanks to the store’s no-clutter (or at least low-clutter) merchandising. And, let’s get serious, it’ll leave you with a Boulevard experience worth bragging about. (Unlike Spring Break ’99.)

The lucky winner has been chosen and it’s Ashley A., who, it seems, will truly appreciate the new ‘do given her pending lineup of job interviews.

Ashley, send an e-mail to ali@yourheartout.com to find out what to do next….

Thanks again, Sarah!

Sampled: Downtown deli’s lunch-time special (any half sandwich, orzo pasta or chips, fountain drink, and cookie or dessert bite).

Where: The Robin’s Nest (310 S. Main Street, Salt Lake City)

High & Low: Choose any sandwich—it’s hard to go wrong: unusual flavor combos served on soft ciabatta and given a “bath” (Robin’s Nest’s unique balsamic dressing) are unwavering in their tastiness and quality. Dessert bites are perfectly proportioned for apres sandwich-and-orzo, but the Nest runs out of options on these a little early. We enjoy the sugar cookies and snickerdoodles when we can get our hands on them.

How Much: $7.85

Forget that reality TV show. Everything’s cooler on stage, right? Especially “High School Musical.” Three YHO readers are going to find out. Let’s hear it for:

• Kristen (and Boyd) who has a kiddo she’d like to bring along
• Melissa P. who “Can’t wait for HSM3!”
• Amy who claims to be a 12-year-old in a 41-year-old body

Ladies, please contact ali@yourheartout.com as soon as possible since the show’s tomorrow night! Everyone else, git yer tix here.

They’re in Utah and they’re making cool stuff. Check out some of our favorites below:

We’ve said it before and we’ll say it again: One of the (many) things that makes Utah so great is getting two Fourth-of-July-ish celebrations in just one month.

So, we’ll see you tomorrow….

Sampled: “Small” (but actually quite sizey) serving of Luna’s Italian Ice on a hot, hot, weekday afternoon.

Where: Jolley’s Pharmacy (1676 E. 1300 South, Salt Lake City)

High & Low: The mango flavor wasn’t quite right-on or fresh-tasting, but the smoothness of the ice—not to mention the healthy factor—as well as the pina colada complement more than made up for it.

How Much: $2.25

There’s nothing like a round two when it comes to a good makeover. And we all know that with any makeover, a new hairstyle is a must. Since back-to-school is just around the corner (boo!) and you no longer have a legit excuse to go back-to-school shopping (double boo!), why not give yourself a reasonable “back-to-school” haircut?

We already told you all about Sarah Cowan. Now look what’s she’s handing out to YHO readers:

• On your first visit, you’ll get a cut and color for just $80

• On your second visit, you’ll get a cut and color for just $90

• On your third visit, you’ll get both for $100

• and if you bring in a referral, she’ll throw in a free facial wax

So why not take advantage? Just print out this coupon and take it in to Sarah at Haven Salon in Provo.

{Doorprize} Haven, err, heaven, is knocking on your door. Sarah wants to give one ultra-lucky Your Heart Out reader a complimentary cut and color, on her.

Busted-up station wagons and weather-worn cowboy boots don’t make up your everyday decor … at least not in Cottonwood Heights, Utah. But when you’re dining patio-side at Lone Star Taqueria, you might find that you prefer this backdrop to any other. At this place of authentic and fairly-priced handmade tamales, packed-to-the-gills burritos, and chilled cerveza, it couldn’t look better.

If you haven’t heard of Lone Star, we presume you’ve been living under a rock (no offense, lads and lassies.) Their fish tacos and Sonora Desert-inspired menu have been named the very best time and time again by numerous national publications including Sunset Magazine and Fodor’s, as well as our very own Deseret News.

At this point you’re surely wondering if the fish tacos are really that good. We’re here to offer validation. The type of fish varies on a daily basis from salmon to talapia, but the soft white corn tortillas, shredded cabbage and spicey ranch sauce are staples. Add a wedge of lime and a little cilantro, and you’re done.

But there’s plenty more comida to choose from on the menu. Our only complaint is the $20-and-under cash-only policy. So bring some bills, or order enough tacos to utilize your debit/credit card.

You grew up wishin’ you were Sandra Dee. In black spandex, thick mascara and heels. Or maybe you consider yourself more of a pink-haired Frenchie or self-righteous Rizzo. You might not find beauty school drop-outs or true fits of rebellion in the singalong juggernaut that is “High School Musical,” but if “Grease” had you shakin’ your tailfeather as a kid (despite the off-color lyrics), then you’ve gotta give teen-centric HSM a chance. You’ll praise this crew for setting a good role model for your kiddos, unlike Danny Zucco.

Now’s your chance to set the example. See uber-popular Troy and nerdy-cool Vanessa on stage when Broadway Across America and New Space Entertainment bring Broadway’s version of “High School Musical” to the Capitol Theatre beginning July 29. Whether or not you like the family-friendly kind of song-and-dance entourage, you’ll be humming the tune to “We’re All in This Together” in no time. But don’t take our word for it.

{Musical To Your Ears}

“High School Musical”
July 29 – August 3
Capitol Theatre
138 W. Broadway, Salt Lake City
(801) 355-ARTS

{Doorprize} Let’s hear it for HSM. New Space Entertainment is up for handing out one pair of tickets each to three different YHO readers. Wanna see the songsters on opening night, Tuesday, July 29? Leave just one comment on this post before midnight on Friday, July 25.

YHO editor Ali Anderson Smith whipped up a Salt Lake shopping guide for Eliza Magazine’s summer issue. If you wanna trail some of her favorite local haunts or learn how to spend a lazy day in SLC (as long as you consider browsing and shopping to be leisure activities), pick up an issue at Barnes & Noble stores, Lola Bella boutiques, Mode boutique or JMR.

Sampled: Turkey Club sandwich built with lettuce, tomato, ham, turkey, avocado, bacon and swiss on Emigration’s version of focaccia bread.

Where: Emigration Market (1706 E. 1300 South, Salt Lake City)

High & Low: This combination of fresh and high-quality ingredients is ultra tasty and highly recommended, but watch out for toasted bread that’s likely to scratch up the roof of your mouth.

How Much: $6.49

The lucky lady has been chosen. The winner of an engagement/couple session plus 8-by-10 print ($485 value!) with Leo Patrone is …. Jayn, who will no doubt be excited since she didn’t get any engagement pics the first time around.

Jayn, send us an e-mail at ali@yourheartout.com and we’ll tell you how to arrange your winnings. Thanks again, Leo!

Lookie what’s up for grabs on Craigslist this week:

Stroll It Up: See what’s new in the local art sphere with the July Gallery Stroll. Maybe you’ll enjoy works by Cara Despain and Jason Metcalf at the Kayo Gallery. Find out what else there is to see while you stroll here.

Sale Away: YHO sponsor ONEiTY is killin’ us with yet another 3-4-2 Sale through the end of July. Time to stock up on classics for kiddos. Or, head to the Basket Loft (1400 Foothill Village and 1941 E. 4800 South, SLC) for Customer Appreciation Days where you’ll get 20% off when you spend $25 or more. Lastly, hit up Bastille at the Gateway (79 S. Rio Grande, SLC) for 50-70% off all sale merch.

Tale of Two Hagermann’s: Or maybe even three. Hagermann’s Bakehouse will be opening a second downtown location at the corner of South Temple and Main Street in Salt Lake City within the next few weeks. Say yes to the Turkey Pomodoro. Plus, keep your eyes peeled for a Hagermann’s Commissary on 2100 S. where you might be able to buy breads and other baked goods.

Filthy Awesome: Tune into the fifth season of Bravo’s Project Runway where you’ll see SLC fashion designer Keith Bryce, the mastermind behind the label Filthy Gorgeous, competing to show his sartorial set at Fashion Week in NYC. Proof here.

And if you’ve got nothing going on this evening, hit up the FREE Twilight Concert Series at the Gallivan Center for an evening with Andrew Bird.

We came across yet another Utah-trained artist to claim. Angela Bentley Fife graduated from the University of Utah with an emphasis in drawing and painting. In the good company of other YHO faves like Chelsea James and Lindsey Frei, Angela illuminates both the feminine figure and feminine subject matter with her paintbrush. This lady can turn fashion spreads into figural paintings and fine art with both substance and style.

Her pretties are fit for the walls in our homes or the walls of local and regional galleries. Angela has participated in the Utah Womens Artists Exhibition, the Springville Salon, Park City Arts Festival and Art and Soup.
