Steals |

This week, we're taking a peek into your favorite
celebrities' beauty stashes to reveal the grooming splurges
and steals of Sarah Jessica Parker, Reese Witherspoon,
Jennifer Hudson, Gwen Stefani and
more.
Splurge: Cor's Silver Soap, $125
Sure, we all wash ourselves but for A-list
celebrities, even the traditional bar soap goes luxe. No, it's
not made of gold, but close to it; Cor's Silver Soap is
crafted of real silver along with four types of collagen. The
product promises to even skin tone while cleansing and
moisturizing the skin and for just $125 the company also
claims you'll look younger, thanks to the soaps ability to
replenish collagen. Mariska Hargitay is a believer!
Those who can't bear to part with over one hundred
bucks for a bar of soap can live the Hollywood lifestyle by
ordering a sample sized silver soap for just $14 at plank
designs online.

| The Inside Scoop: Havana Nights Nails & Spa in
Chicago |
 |
Tucked away in the unique Ravenswood neighborhood,
Havana Nights Nails & Spa sits near the corner of
Lawrence and Rockwell. This Cuban-inspired spa is easy to find
with ample metered street parking right outside its door.
Walking into Havana Nights, I was transported to a warm exotic
escape, leaving the brisk Chicago weather nipping at my heels.
The spa is warm, cozy and inviting, its décor aglow with rich
burgundies and shimmering golds. A row of massage chairs
surrounded by sheer draperies line the walls and manicure
stations are strategically placed so no matter where a client
is situated in the spa, she is part of the action and
atmosphere. After taking in the sights and sounds of Havana,
owner Sandra Plasencia Casanova introduced herself and gave me
a quick tour of her spa.
Havana
Nights Nails & Spa is located at 2555 W. Lawrence,
Chicago, IL 60625. Phone: (773) 907-0654
