If you are like most guy, you like your beer cold, at the end of your day, with a few of your best buds and a ball game playing on the wide screen plasma t.v., right? Not necessarily. If you have ever been to Exsalonce Salon & Day Spa in Chicago, you get your hops served in the form of a facial. Yes, a facial. The Beer Enzyme Facial, a male-focused spa treatment, is a warm and soothing facial that includes a rejuvenating exfoliating cream that contains three percent beer hop enzymes, plus the normal skin nourishing oils . The enzymes in beer gently exfoliate skin dislodging dead skin cells and revealing a newer, more supple skin surface. After the exfoliating cream, you are steamed, re-moisturized and massaged into a beer-relaxed state of mind. Well, sort of. What is a guy's motivating incentive to have the facial? The spa offers you a cold one prior to your facial to help get you prepped for your hour-long treatment. Of course you could always opt for tea or water, but why go against the grain. To make an appointment, you can contact the Exsalonce Spa at 773.327.4848.

Chunky heels have the right amount of feminine flair and, because of the thicker heel, all day comfort.

Pair them with tights, a short sleeve turtleneck sweater and a skirt for a business casual, or wide-leg jeans and a
funnel neck top for a funky chic look for grabbing drinks with friends after work.
