Information on del Toro |

Michelle
Alegria got a taste of Spain at Wicker Park's del Toro-a new
small plate eatery! This lounge/restaurant marries rustic Spanish
style with a sultry, Euro hangout. The menu is divided into
traditional Spanish cold and hot plates, but with a modern twist.

Information on Mother Puckers |
What do you get when you round up 30 hockey moms who were spending
so much time taking their kids to the rink, they figured 'why not
try it themselves'? The answer is a unique Glencoe hockey team that
never faces opponents but always manages to stir up fun when they
hit the ice twice a week! Their irreverent flair is pretty clear in
the team's name too…they call themselves the 'Glencoe Mother Puckers'!
Janet laced up her skates and put on her helmet to take to the rink
with this fun-loving bunch of ladies!

Information on Eyelash Craze |
Michelle Alegria explored the latest trend in beauty-eyelash extensions! Exhale, a new spa in the Gold Coast, is one of many local salons now offering this service. A full set of lashes at Exhale is $150, and can last anywhere from 4 to 6 weeks. And, if an eyelash happens to fall off, they'll replace it free of charge! If you're looking for something a little less permanent, Michelle also checked out the Shu Uemura make up counter at Saks on Michigan Avenue, which recently unveiled its Tokyo Lash Bar! Here you can get fitted with long and glammy fake eyelashes from a choice of more than 20 styles! Prices range from $20 to $25, which includes an application lesson.
