The Bite

Wanna join everybody in doin’ the brand new dance now? Swing your hips…over to Wicker Park’s eclectic Mojo Spa, home to fresh lotions and potions made with seasonal, organic ingredients that smell good enough to eat, such as strawberries, papayas, honey, and almond oil. The full-service spa does everything from massage to makeup inside a pink-palace-meets-Moroccan-lounge setting. And now you can feel toe-tally good about slathering your feet with rich, hydrating Kahuna Skin Smoothie or salt-’n’-sugar exfoliant Sinful Strawberry Scrub (no, you can’t eat it, and yes, we asked). Or let the spa staff do the locomotion - slough, scrub, and polish - with a customized mani/pedi. Give it a chance now.
