Come get ready with me to get my skin spring ready

Come get ready with me to get my skin spring ready with a hydrafacial at @facefoundrie! I try to get hydrafacials when the seasons change, just to remove dead skin, brighten my face and add some hydration. My skin gets so dull in the winter! I also add on a collagen mask which helps with hydrate my skin and leave GLOWING! I see @beauty_by_rikki_ & she’s amazing.

Mention me for $10 off your first time services.
📍 West Loop, Bucktown & Naperville soon! #chicagospa #chicagobeauty #chicagoblogger #chicagomom #chicagosalon

DAILY BRUNCH! 🍳
@breakfasthousechicago They now have 6 locations, with it’s latest opening up in Belmont Cragin! They are serving up breakfast and lunch dishes daily, with big portions!

I tried a bit of everything from the house hash, French toast and one of my favorites, Diego’s fried chicken sandwich marinated in the chef’s own buttermilk recipe, topped with a fried egg and jalapeño sauce! So good! Definitely shareable! AD #chicagofoodie #chicagofoodauthority #312food #chicagobrunch #chicagobreakfast

Part 5 of finding tropical like places around Chicago to brighten up this month @mimastasteofcuba in Irving Park is serving up empanadas that were my favorite (they were packed with meat), Cubano sandwiches, ropa vieja, tropical and frozen drinks that transport away from this gloomy march.

About that Lolla lineup…. 🙋‍♀️
🫶 One of my best memories is finding @mrealivasquez solo air guitaring to Metallica in a crowd. I expect a repeat this year to RHCP, Manny 🎸 PS- kids under 10 are still free with an adult ticket & there are kid bands that perform. Last year, we saw @cielitolindofamily #lollapalooza #chicagofamily #chicago #lolla #chicagosummer

Some weekend options for you!!

Friday: @drunkshakespeare and happy hour/dinner at @labriolachicago or @venteuxchicago before show. Both happy hours are good deals!

@artinstitutechi is free until 3/24!

Saturday: @chicagovintagefestival in Ravenswood. Stop by some @maltrowchicago places after shopping. Many are family friendly, but don’t serve food! Sometimes there are food trucks parked outside.

Indoor @greencitymarket at @rockwellontheriver
Free Character story time with Belle from Beauty and the Beast @timeoutmarketchicago. Then grab food there after! @soulandsmoke has my kids fav Mac n cheese!

Sunday: Stout Festival at @gooseisland (tickets selling fast! First session sold out) or @gpconservatory flower show! #chicagobucketlist #chicagothingstodo #do312 #chicagoevents #choosechicago

St. Patricks day themed tea time is here at @lhchi

St. Patricks day themed tea time is here at @lhchicago 🫖 ☘️.

It starts with a basket of soda bread, scones and Irish shortbread. Followed by the second course, this adorable tower filled with sweet and savory treats. I loved the corned beef roll, cucumber sandwiches and more. We left with to-go boxes because it’s a good amount of food! Each guest also gets their own tea kettle of their choice. $85 per person and there is a kids menu with separate pricing. It’s here only this month! Thanks for hosting mw @lhchicago!

And thanks @streeterville_mama for joining me! 🫖

☀️ NEW SERIES ALERT ☀️ Make your Own Parad

☀️ NEW SERIES ALERT ☀️ Make your Own Paradise, but in Chicago. I’m on the hunt for more tropical 🌴 places to make us all feel a little less cold this March. It might be cocktails, shows, things to do, restaurants and more! Anything to help bring Spring Break to us! 🌸

Starting with @bargoachicago This Indian- Portuguese fusion restaurant has fun cocktails like this called Sea Foam or Toes in the Sand. They also have daiquiris on happy hour! Its a really great after work drink spot in River North! They also make their own tajin, which is really really good!
