Tabitha Bonner
If you follow me, you know my love of sharing my favorite things
whether it’s in North Idaho or on our travels. I am excited to share with you things I love here locally, everything from restaurants to hikes.
SIPS AND SNACKS
Starting my day with coffee is a must and when I don’t make it at home or in our van, you’ll catch me at one of my favorite local spots like The Vault, Evan’s Brothers or Fine Brewed all located in downtown Coeur d’Alene.
My restaurant list could go on forever, here’s a few of my favorites. Syringa on 4th for sushi, Moon Time for salads and their famous Lamb Burgers, Vine & Olive for lunch dates, Cosmic Cowboy for quick healthy meals, and The Garnet for breakfast. Being gluten free can be difficult but all these places have great options!
I don’t have a huge sweet tooth but if I do want dessert, you can find me at 32 Below Froyo & More with a boozy float or at Pilgrim’s Market with the best gluten free brownie in town!
I love a great cocktail or glass of wine with friends and one of my favorite new spots is The Goat Lounge, they have fantastic specialty cocktails. Terraza in Riverstone has some amazing margaritas. If it’s a wine night, I will head over to Wine House for wine and flatbread.
DAILY MOVEMENT
Fitness is a very large part of my life and I am very grateful we have great studios and gyms in North Idaho. I can’t get enough of CycleBar CDA, their instructors have the best energy. I make sure to squeeze in 2 Pump classes a week at Peak Fitness, Amy Simmons noon class in Post Falls is my favorite. Stretch Lab is a must after a long trail run or hard workout because I am horrible at stretching on my own. After a good workout, you’ll find me at The Wellness Bar drinking the CDA Recovery protein shake.
SELF CARE & SHOPPING
Locally, we have some seriously talented health and beauty professionals. Check out Lakeside Med Spa for fillers and an IV Lounge for keeping those germs at bay. Earthly Beauty Bar is where I keep my brows fresh thanks to Lacey Moen and my hair beautiful by Alex Morrison. For a deep tissue sports massage, I book with Joni at Highlands Day Spa. I am fortunate to have thick hair but it makes hair wash day a whole process, so I’ve been thrilled ever since DryBar came to town.
CAN’T FORGET ABOUT MY FAVORITE RETAIL THERAPIES!
If a store was my vibe it would be Lavender Sun. They have everything from vintage clothes to plants and jewelry. I find my one of a kind clothing at Marmalade for special events. T- Blue in Riverstone has great timeless pieces that don’t leave my closet. One spot you will see me often is Escape Outdoors for all my outdoor activity gear and Fleet Feet on Sherman for running and hiking shoes.
DATE NIGHT RECS
Looking for something new to do for date night or girls night out? I recommend going to Blue Shell for arcade or board games and a beverage. If you enjoy golfing, head to Sand Trap or Golf Island for indoor golf, perfect during these cold months. Emerge has a fabulous art gallery and a shop to buy from local artists or take a cooking class from Culinary Stone.
MY FAVORITE THINGS
Saving the best for last with the best hiking in the area. 9 months out of the year, you can find me on a trail. We’re lucky to have these less than 30 miles from our door. • Canfield Mountain • Liberty Lake Trail • Tubbs Hill • Mineral Ridge • Farragut State Park • 4th of July Pass • North Idaho Centennial Trail
