It was great seeing our friends at the @easystreet It was great seeing our friends at the @easystreetpizza tent at the Taste of Park Ridge last weekend. And it was equally as great to discover one of their new summer specials on Devon Avenue... the southwest chicken egg rolls. Let’s get together and bug them enough to keep them on the regular menu going forward. C’mon, who’s with me?

What is your favorite restaurant in the area? 

@jkussymortgage : “I don’t necessarily have one favorite, as I go to different places for different experiences. Happy hour at @fireandwinege is a great deal, and the outdoor space is fantastic. The loaded nachos at @donjuanscantina are perfect to split, especially with one of their hand-shaken margaritas. And the salmon skin sushi rolls at @blufish_parkridge (not on the menu — you have to ask for it) is one of my favorites. Too many great choices to pick just one.”

"Keep it simple and consistent: SPF every single day (rain or shine), reapply when you’re outdoors, and don’t rely on makeup with SPF as your only protection. Add a hat or physical coverage when you’re in direct sun. It’s underrated but incredibly effective."
