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!

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.
