The Bite:
imageWanna make sure this weekend is fun…fun…fun? Call out to Edgewater's eco-fab day spa, Salon Echo for spa-tastic services like massage, facials, hair, and mani-pedis, all using organic A Natural Difference products (made with fruity enzymes like orange, pumpkin, and delish-smelling cranberry). For serious face dechapping, go for SE's new and very seasonal Cranberry Facial with AND's antioxidant-rich cranberry peel. The salon's built with 85% recycled or sustainable materials, including floors made from recycled tires, fabrics made from recycled pop bottles, and all low- to no-VOC paints. Bonus: Bike over instead of driving, and you'll get 20% off. Deal…deal.
Wanna Try: 
Salon Echo, 1134 W. Bryn Mawr Ave., b/t Winthrop Ave. and Broadway St. (773-989-2358). Cranberry Facial, $100; bike discount, 20% off services $25 or more.

Cocktail Fact

In 2003, an acoustics expert debunked the myth that duck quacks don’t echo (did we think they didn't?) by proving a duck’s extended call covers up the echo’s sound.

Small Changes Add Up

If 10,000 Chicago Biters use 6 ounces of paraben-free facial lotion instead of conventional lotion, we'll keep the weight of over 30 hot stones in cancer-linked chems out of production.

I live in the Chicago area and can't wait to try this salon. We started our website trying to become more eco friendly for our children's future. It is much easier than we ever thought! With just a couple changes everyone can become "greener". Remember, we want this planet to continue to thrive!!!!
