That sounds wonderful, especially in the winter! Pamper yourself!

If I end up being in Evanston for grad school, I will ABSOLUTELY come check this place out with you. Student budget be damned!

Thanks for the birthday wishes a few weeks ago! I've been lurking around here since.

Also, being from the 'burbs, but living several states away, reading the various Chicago-based blogs I've found through Big Time Fancy has made me mucho homesick. Good thing my holiday visit is just around the corner. :)

That sounds wonderful. I would so be there.

Doesn't it? I really want to go!

That sounds fantastic... hope you don't mind if I tag along? ;)

Come to the States, Aly!

Pajama night? Cute idea, that would be fun to do with a friend.

Instead of Chicago, you could just come to NYC and we could all go to the spa here!

haha, if I ever go to NYC, I definitely know who to call!

Jamie- Let me preface this by saying that I never get to say things like the following, so consider this the exception.

I was just with one of the Modern Salon editors tonight (the ones proclaiming Claudia as the Best in Chicago) and will email Laurel tomorrow for the scoop on what else she recommends. This is my job- spa/salon PR. And for the record, brunch sounds fabulous. It's next to the Bongo Room so I do wonder...

LAST- My Christmas tradition with a good friend from college his hitting up the brownie bar at Bliss for a Hangover Herbie. Budget-wise: Eek, once a year; Experience-wise: I could say something inappropriate but will contain myself. Very good, pretty much ecstasy (not the narc). For a regular basis pamper-fix in town, try the new Spa Forever on Damen. And sorry for monopolizing your post space!

Jessi, that sounds awesome. I would love some recommendations!

Oh my goodness, I love Mojo! Or at the least the people who work there. It's next door to the consignment shop my roommate works at, so I bump into them once in a while but have never actually checked them out. Super nice folks. I have walked by there a billion times.

Anyway, it sounds adorable and I've never gotten a manicure before or done anything really to pamper myself. Hmmm. Maybe it's time to change that.

Monica, we are obviously going to have to try this place out!

Hmm, I think I would go with option 2, since I love dancing in my pajamas. But both sound so fun! I have never been to a spa before, but I'm dying to go. Let us know what you end up choosing!

I've never been either. I can't wait to try it out though!

mojo is the place on damen, right? with the weird curved glass windows? to the left of that little shoe store with the mega-expensive rain boots...in what kind of looks like a strip mall?

my fancy lives over there, i've walked past it more times than i can count.

This place is actually on Milwaukee, next to the Bongo Room.

I'd love either one of those! They sound too fun!

Come on, Chicago gal! Let's go!

Ooohhhhh.... I want! Especially the Friday night one!

I actually just got my first facial ever two weekends ago, and it was utterly fabulous.

Re: Pampering myself

Julie Q — Mon, 03 Dec 2007 18:49:41 -0000

Oh wow, both of those sound awesome. If I had to pick between the two i'd go for option 1! The hubs can stay home on Sunday and watch football all day and I go out and play :)

I think brunch sounds the best too. Food! Yum!

I want to do this. Wait. I'm going to do this. Sure, I can't do it in Chicago, but now I have a fun idea for what to do with all my visiting friends over the holidays (you know, before we go out, get drunk and look at all the guys we used to love).

It's such a fun idea. I hope you do it!

Damsel In Digress — Mon, 03 Dec 2007 17:24:46 -0000

Haha, I knew, you'd want to! Seriously. We should go. I want to gooooo!

well, since i'm a guy, i think i'll have to pass...but i'll meet ya for cocktail after! that's my neighborhood, after all.

Dude. You know you want to go to a pajama party! haha, cocktails work though too!

My idea of pampering is waking up at 2:00 pm in my boxers and parking myself in front of the Nintendo all day with a box of Cheese Its.

Tomato tomAHto, I suppose.

Cheese Its remind me of when I was a little kid!

Oooo, the brunch one sounds yummy. I'm a food addict and a manicure addict. So this would be perfect for me!

A trip to the spa is always worth it, and you deserve the pampering with the schedule you have coming up!

Re: Pampering myself

katelin — Mon, 03 Dec 2007 15:00:50 -0000

Man I wish I lived in Chicago because I would totally go to either of those Spa days with you, they look so fun!

Oatmeal raisin pancakes?!? I am drooling! Yum! That sounds like great fun.

I know! Me too. It sounds so good and I'm not even a breakfast person!

Re: Pampering myself

heidi — Mon, 03 Dec 2007 13:24:36 -0000

I LOVE spa treatments. I want to go to one of those amazing spa retreats for like an entire week, or at least a long weekend. But the pajama party? sounds amazing.

I live in NYC- is this too far? lol

haha, road trip, Nicole!

It's too bad that you're so far away, because those brunches sound awesome. I had my first facial a few months ago and it was amazingly wonderful.
