The Bite:
Ever think to yourself, wow, I'm ridiculously good looking? Even if you have, a little skin TLC never hurt. Get some at the sleek new Zoetica Spa. Read an e-book while Zoe's pros give you a hand/foot treatment, massage, or facial using housemade, organic toners, creams, and cleansers (all sustainably packaged for purchase too). Its products are all USDA-certified organic, plus the space is a good model for the city with its soon-to-get Platinum-LEED cred.
Why Care?: 
Using certified organic ingredients means no iffy chems soaking into your skin - great, since the FDA's only tested about 11% of chems found in beauty products.
Our skin was creamy, nails buffed to a natural shine, and our shoulders a bit less tense after Zoe's whole milk and honey hand treatment with minimassage.
Wanna Try: 
Zoetica, 1250 N. LaSalle St. (312-280-0800). Hand treatment, $40.

Cocktail Fact

In ancient Egyptian society, nail polish color indicated social order; upper classes wore reddish hues, while lower classes were allowed to wear only pale colors.

Small Changes Add Up

If 10,000 Chicago Biters opt for a bottle of organic body lotion instead of a conventional one, we'll keep the weight of 35 male models in potentially toxic ingredients out of the environment.
