Last Thursday we had a blast speednetworking at Shannon’s Irish Pub for Beer Women and Wellness. The Network of Entrepreneurial Women gathered in Glen Ellyn to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day with pints and pub grub. When our first round of beverages was ordered (we have our priorities straight!), we engaged in 4-minute introductions of our […]

It is Women’s History Month and I am super excited to discuss women’s achievements with a historian on Wednesday. This year’s theme is Celebrating Women of Character, Courage, and Commitment. Barbara Joan Zeitz has been researching women’s history since 2007, and has been writing about her findings on CountHerHistory for a decade. In 2012 she […]
We had a blast closing out Galentine’s month at Anna Shea’s Chocolate Lounge last week. In spite of another polar vortex front several suburban ladies were lured by the chocolate bar, and we cozied up to the fireplace to imbibe. The Pistachio Pomegranate cupcake was delicious, and I opted for a Bailey’s Chocolate cocktail this […]
What do Evanstonians do in winter? They knit and yarn bomb. I picked up some reading from the library and enjoyed the colorful labor of love. These vibrant colors are a welcome sight amidst the grimy piles of snow. Is your community doing any yarn bombing?
Last Wednesday NEW visited Salon Four 14 for some pre-Galentine’s Day pampering. It was sunny day and the temperature had increased significantly, making us all giddy with joy. Co-Founder Karen had brought a 12-pack of cupcakes from The Sugar Path as well as some chocolate. We toured the cozy space owned by Heather Haftl, and […]

We lunched at The Red Brick Tavern on 119 Simonton Street twice. The walls have posters of famed country singers and there is a stage section for live music. Burgers […]

Due to the Polar Vortex I missed NEW’s first meeting of the year at Blue Violet Body Works, so I am mighty excited to attend Thursday’s Tea, Women and Wellness Party in Geneva. The fun begins Thursday, January 23 at 6 p.m. and we can sip tea, mingle and sample organic goodies until 8 p.m. […]
The Midwest was gridlocked in a polar vortex in the past week, which snarled my travel plans quite a bit (and called for extra Margaritas). It took 4 cancelled flights before I could fly home. The good part was that I didn’t risk frostbite coming home, but Texas wasn’t too warm either. The nice part […]
