Nickelback is going back on tour and I have exactly zero shame in saying I WILL be there. Judge me all you want, but I’m absolutely ready to scream every word like it’s 2005 again. The chokehold this band still has on me is honestly ridiculous, and I refuse to pretend otherwise. Some concerts are for being cool. This one is for healing my inner middle schooler.

Now that I’ve publicly exposed myself as a Nickelback girl, let’s move on…

Every Monday at Chicago Magic Lounge, The Close-Up Show puts three magicians on stage with their subtlest moves projected live overhead. You might even end up in the act, and you'll never have a clue how they do it. We're giving away tickets for October 26. Enter now.*

PUMPKINS, PARTIES & PURE CHAOS 🎃

Whether you’re trying to get scared, dressed up, buzzed, cozy, or just fully commit to spooky season, there’s something here with your name on it.

A VERY SMASHING NIGHT OUT

Losing Weight Is Easier When Someone’s Watching

Have you ever noticed that the microsecond you start attempting to parallel park, a person materializes out of thin air and begins watching you? It makes it a lot harder. Losing weight is kinda the exact opposite of this, and there’s a study that backs it up: Weight Watchers members who attend 3 workshops per month lose more than twice as much weight as those who attend only 1 workshop per month.

The Core+ plan opens the door to 3,000+ Workshops, virtual and in person, and a community that genuinely cheers you on. Their Points®️ system also guides you toward nutrient-dense choices while leaving total flexibility for the foods you love. Right now, new and rejoining members get 50% off their first month with code “WWSAVE50” on a Core or Core+ plan, on top of current sign-up promotions.*
