It's been a pretty rough winter so far here in Chicago - practically no sun, loads of snow nearly weekly (if not more frequently), temperatures in the -40's (F) with the windchill. Needless to say, this means I've been cooped up in the house avoiding the elements and am starting to get ridiculously depressed because of it.
It's easy to recommend that someone "get out" and grab a bite to eat with friends, go to a museum, head to a spa, but we've made it our goal in 2014 to save money for a number of big trips we'd love to take in the near future (Morocco, Mt. Kilimanjaro, New Zealand....), and there's only so much staying in I can do.
To try to lift my mood, clear my head, and warm up at the same time I started taking weekly or twice weekly baths. Having used up my Lush bath bombs, baths weren't as exciting a prospect as they could be. I remembered my stylist at Fringe Salon mentioned a local store in Wicker Park that pedals goods similar in ideals to Lush, but on a more unique scale - Mojo Spa (1468 N. Milwaukee - right by Wormhole).
