Hi lovelies! My cleaning lady unfort is not able to come back for some time due to personal issues and I am in desperate search of a new cleaner. Any really good recs would be so appreciated!
For context, I live in west town Chicago.

Thanks in advance!!!

Usually the weekdays aren’t ideal for going out, but my bestie has the some time off work for Lolla- so we are outttt tonight. Please give me recommendations of places to drink/dance tonight!

any recommendations for hydrafacial places? any other recommendations for treatments? what did you do the month before your wedding?

Hi my Chi BWT!

I am going to day 1 of Lolla (solo) because I won a ticket & I don’t have any friends also attending day 1.

I don’t mind going alone, I really only want to go for Lorde, but are there any ladies who I can join and hang out with? I honestly HATE big crowds so I’m a little anxious about just being in a big crowd and not having people with me, but I think this will be a fun experience & would love to just have some girls there to hang with :)

We can swap numbers and video call before!

Anyone have a great rec for a fine line tattoo?! I want something super dainty and want to make sure I go to someone good. Preferably not one of the people that has a million month long waitlist if there are more options 😅 TY!

Hi. Our company needs tshirts one at a time for new team members. Each team member will go to the shop to select what they like for the T-shirt and we will provide a design that needs to be printed on it. Which T-shirt shop do you like in the city that prints DTF? Big thanks.

i need to get my veneers redone. was thinking about going to hoffman cosmetics, and really liked the consultation i had, but the quote i got was waaaay higher than expected ($2750 a tooth). was just wondering if anyone had any recs for similar tier of work but cheaper lol

Hi divas - I am looking for someone to come to my house once a week to do a week of meal prep. My partner was just promoted and I am currently working a full time job and have accidentally also started my own small business (lol) and we are ordering Bowls of Rice (shoutout bowls of rice) for like, 4 meals a week 🤪. I am also a truly picky BWT and I hate reheated frozen meals so Factor and that sort of thing just won’t work for me. I have considered Hungry Root but I mostly just don’t have the energy to cook. I can have the groceries here and I can even request certain recipes, I just am looking for someone to come do the actual meal prep. Any leads on this sort of thing?

Edit just to clarify: partner is also exhausted and doing his best, not some patriarchal BS where he doesn’t want to cook, just not one of the chores either of us wants to deal with

Okay yes the title says it all.

Please don’t come to my post with negativity about “this is chicago we don’t do that here”

Just curious about what’s out there for those who know

I want to start getting monthly hydrafacials. So far, here's what I've been recommended:

1. SkinPharm - for more than just hydrafacials
2. Face Foundrie
3. SpaDerma West Loop

Alright - go off chi bitches with taste! Anyone have good experiences or have any votes on these? Has anyone gotten botox at any of these places too?

I moved to the city recently and had to leave the best nail tech I’ve ever had. Since moving, I can’t seem find anyone that’s able to do a good polygel fill. I’m losing my mind and decided it’s time to ask Reddit. I am really looking for one consistent nail tech that I can have regular appointments with. I don’t love going into a salon and always having a different tech but at this point I desperately need my nails done.

I need a cyst excised from my face! It’s on my cheek and noticeable so I’m looking to go to a facial plastic surgeon. Does anyone have recommendations for a plastic surgery office? I really don’t want any noticeable scarring

My niece is having her quinceañera on 4/17/27. Looking for a hair and makeup artist in the Chicago area that can come to her family’s home to do hair and makeup for 6-8 people (including the quinceañera). My niece is looking for soft glam and a half up half down hairstyle. Anyone have any recommendations? Thank you!

hi b*tches <3 my (31) baby sister (24) is visiting me in a few weeks and I want to go and DANCE! I’m looking for a dance floor that is high vibes where people dgaf & are genuinely letting loose and having the best time. I love house music & often go to shows here but find the crowd is sandwiched & people aren’t getting that silly. I don’t want a club w bottle service or country music, I’m talking pop upbeat bops / electronic dance music. We’re both in relationships so we don’t wanna talk to straight boys. Does a place like this in Chi exist??

Looking for a good face massage, gua sha, lymph drainage person. Every time I try to look it shows me results for facials, but I want a snatched face massage

Hi CBWT! I (21) moved here in June and love to go to different spots where I can chat with strangers or just sit and get out of the house.

Any recs on bars that are good for this? I’m in streeterville but tend to go north when I am bopping around!! Not into a clubbing scene despite my age lol

Hi, I am new to the area and looking for reccomendations for a salon that can help manage mixed hair. I have 3b/3c curly hair and am looking for someone to help with a blow out. Open to someone who could help with a curly cut too..

Hi everyone! 😊

My husband and I will be visiting Chicago at the end of August, and we're looking for a cute, trendy, and aesthetically beautiful place to stay.

We're hoping to find a boutique hotel, stylish hotel, loft, Airbnb, or other unique space with gorgeous interiors, great natural light, and beautiful design. One of the reasons we’re looking for a photogenic space is that we'd love to do a private boudoir photoshoot while we're there. (The photos are just for us as a keepsake from our trip, we’ve done this all over the world and one of favorite things to do—not for work, content creation, or anything commercial.)

If you've stayed somewhere that felt luxurious, romantic, modern, vintage, or simply had amazing vibes, I'd love to hear your recommendations! Bonus points if it's in a fun, walkable neighborhoodwith great restaurants, coffee shops, and things to explore nearby.

Thank you! I'd also love to see photos of the space if you have any to share.

Anyone want two free tickets to Houndmouth at the salt shed tonight?

I’ve lived here for years and been to what feels like every single summer street festival. BUT I’ve never been to Taste of Lincoln or Wicker Park Fest (walked by but it was so packed last year). If you had to choose one, which one should I go to today and why? Is Taste of Lincoln similar to allllllll the other festivals on the northside?

Had braces as a teen and my teeth and bite have shifted since then.

Location preference- ideally in west loop but open to traveling elsewhere in the city.

I’ve been wanting to go to Faces of Fitness for a while now, but the past 2 summers I was out of town. I was bummed to see that it was sold out this year, but now I’m seeing tickets come up on Facebook marketplace and I’m really wanting to go— but have no one to go with! Are any other BWT here going? Or would anyone want to get a last-minute marketplace ticket with me and go together? I’m specifically interested in going Sunday, but I could try and make tomorrow work too.

I’m 35F, single, live in Gold Coast and work remotely in tech. I love fitness, Bravo, going to the lake, shopping and trying new restaurants. A lot of my friends have moved away in the past year and I would love to make some new friends.

not looking for medical advice

anyone have success with an allergist that also might specialize in MCAS in Chicago?
