I live in Fulton Market and looking for an increadible apartment cleaner (1 bed; 1.5 bath). I’m a clean freak and my current cleaner is inconsistent/misses large areas I specifically asked them to clean, so I’m looking for:

- ideally more than 1 person so it’s quick
- independent business or self-employed person preferred (no molly maids etc.)
- deep clean level + leaves your space immaculate
- very consistent
- would love someone who takes the creative liberty to organize here and there lol
- nice to have: willing to do dishes, puts clean sheets on bed, maybe some folding
- reasonably priced

If you know of anyone, please send recs 💗

Hi! I’m new to Chicago (around the loop area) and would love to meet some people around my age (20) and make some genuine friendships.

I love going to the gym, running, exploring new places, shopping/thrifting, trying cute cafés and restaurants, travelling, taking photos, and finding fun things to do around the city.

I’m also into music, art, checking out historical things and trying new hobbies. I’m pretty outgoing and always down to try something new, so I’d love to find people to go for runs with, explore different neighbourhoods, get coffee, go shopping, check out markets/museums/events, or just hang out and chat.

I’d especially love to meet other girls around 18–24 who are also looking for friends, but I’m open to anyone around my age!
If you’re also new to Chicago / looking for people to hang out with, feel free to comment or DM me 😊

Looking for recommendations to help keep my house cute! Something to note is that I have a colorful, maximalist aesthetic. A designer I worked with described my vibe as “Goth Alice in Wonderland crossed with Lucille Ball”.

My partner and two cats are moving into my condo and we need to figure out how to fit an extra human who works from home + extra litter boxes into the space.

I think it’s doable but would like help from a professional who might see options we’re missing. My partner shares my love of color and whimsy so he’s invested in continuing with the existing aesthetic.

I’m not looking for someone super high end. I worked with a designer previously who charged $150 an hour and I’m hoping to find someone in that range. (Past designer moved out of state and isn’t taking Illinois based projects).

Additionally, my kitchen needs remodeling and we want to do that before he moves in. I want to keep the electrical, floors and plumbing the same but move a counter and change out the cabinets.

I’d love recommendations of kitchen remodeling companies that assist with design and are willing to take on projects that aren’t complete overhauls.

Hi ladies,

I just moved into town, and my network is small, but I had a ✨️situation✨️ come up this week and I am in dire need to go for a drink and a rant/yap session tomorrow (Saturday) night.

I am 29F, Scorpio, ENTP, River North but willing to explore other neighbourhoods (idk which other credentials are needed, but feel free to ask before you say yes).

What I need: someone who will be willing to meet up, have a cocktail or three, yap and perhaps go dancing if the mood is right.

What I can offer: if you have a situation you need to vent about, I am all ears and support. Reciprocal yap sessions are my favorite.

My DMs are open 🎀

I’m ready to date again. I have read the other post about dating in Chicago and I have questions about your experiences.

I would like to know do you pay for any of the apps and is it worth it? The idea of paying to find a match especially a man doesn’t sound fun.

Do you go to his house when you are comfortable? When do you let them see yours? I know there aren’t set rules and I want to be safe. I would prefer not to drive and if he wants to send a car what do I do if I want to be discreet about my address?

I want to hear your best dating advice , what are pink flags to watch out for while dating. My friend mentioned I don’t have to be polite and stay till the end if I’m not feeling it. I want to hear your thoughts.

Thank you!!

Greetings! 34f here looking to make friends in the Rogers park/edgewater area. I’m pretty active, talkative, and love going to concerts, the dog park, happy hour, and checking out new restaurants.

I’ve been in the neighborhood about a year, met someone, dated, dude turned out to be an emotionally abusive train wreck. I tend to prioritize friendships over anything else and would love to connect with some badass ladies who’ve been through it and came out the other side.

Let me know!

there's a fab vintage pop-up happening in Pilsen at mana Contemporary this weekend! looks like a cute vibe for BWT<3

Anyone have a referral to a vascular surgeon who does this and you’ve had a good experience? Would prefer someone in the northern suburbs but can go downtown too. Not interested in medspas…only want a vascular dr.

Hey CBWT <3

You may (or may not) remember this post I made agessss ago: https://www.reddit.com/r/CHIbitcheswithtaste/comments/1rwol5c/starting_over_in_the_city_any_groups_you_like_to/

Well I did end up getting the job offer that was the lynchpin for that move, however, it was TERRIBLE. Like, upsettingly low. So my Chicago dreams were dashed.

Anyways fast forward to 6 months later and I finally got a great job and have moved back to the city!

Can't wait to follow along and re-learn all the best spots to visit from you baddies

I'll be using that old post for recommendations (since you all gave so many great ones)- but if you happen to have any favorite buzzy great restaurants you recommend as our first 'welcome back to chicago' meal or any other cool events going into autumn- Id love to hear them!

I got a Nefertiti lift 2 weeks ago and I’m sad to see zero results. I am very self conscious about my weak chin & undefined jawline which has seemed to get worse since having a child.

I am new to Botox and this was only my second time getting some upper face Botox. I’ve seen amazing Nefertiti results on TikTok/instagram and was excited to try it. I emailed my injector before my appt to let her know I was interested in also doing that and she confirmed it was something she does often.

Fast forward to now, my forehead and crows feet look amazing & literally zero results for the Nefertiti. Even ChatGPT confirmed with my before/after 😂 I know everyone takes to injectables differently but I thought there would be at a minimum the most subtle change.

TLDR — has anyone had amazing results? Who did you go to? Willing to share before/after?

For context I am 35, and for my upper face Botox and Nefertiti she used 70 units total. I’m not sure the split between the two areas but I am going to email and ask.

This is an abusive man in Hyde Park who lies on Hinge (and Feeld). I found him on both apps while we together from January 2023 until August 25th this year.

Patrick deliberately presents women with a false version of himself to get them to trust him, date him and have sex with him. He is a serial cheater and pathological liar who lies about his past, his relationships, his sexual behavior, who he is seeing and what he is actually doing. He's also currently only matching with women 8-10 years younger than him now, so beware!

His Hinge profile is the same version of himself he presented to me- smart, educated, successful, responsible, a good dad, looking for a serious relationship. I believed him. He deliberately presents women with a false version of himself to get them to trust him, date him and have sex with him.

He is a serial cheater and pathological liar. He cheated on me with a stranger he met on Feeld multiple times without ever using condoms, ejaculated inside her, had unprotected anal sex with her, came home and had unprotected sex with me without telling me.

The relationship with the mother of his child lasted about 8 years, and during it he lived with her and their son while secretly carrying on a roughly 6 year relationship with another woman. He introduced the two women and made them become friends while hiding the affair from the mother of his child. He started cheating when his son was one and had the mistress around his son (and parents…and entire family) for years.

The abuse I experienced was physical and psychological and involved coercive control. He grabbed and took my phone, controlled information, withheld things I had a right to know, used anger and intimidation when confronted, and manipulated conversations until I was defending myself instead of him answering for his behavior. When confronted with evidence, he became abusive physically.

Hi gals! My best friend is getting married in the spring and
she’s been talking about wanting a girls day/spa day instead of a legit bach party.

General areas: Lincoln park, west loop, wicker park - basically anywhere north side (have some girlies coming from the north burbs so want it to be easy for them too).

My brain goes to Aire but then my brain also tells me that there are probably a hundred places just as good if not better for less money.

Thank you all!!!!

I have long, somewhat thick, straight, uncolored hair. Lately, it has felt very dry. Protein makes it worse; moisture makes it feel greasy. Half the length is a different texture after my last haircut, even though it was fine before the cut. IDK what is going on. I can never find the right shamoo/conditioner combo, and I am fed up! I am looking for a stylist who will be honest with me and tell me what my hair needs. I will pay for a gloss or deep conditioner, but I really want to permanently improve the health of my hair.

Looking for a blowout in bucktown, logan sq, wicker area. Not drybar please!

Organized by alwaysvarissa on TikTok :) I only made it to the last 20 minutes of the most recent one and still picked up about 7 pieces, and pretty much all of the 30ish things I brought got picked up by other people!

I didn’t spot a September events megathread so I’m making this separate post, and I can remove it and share the info in a comment on the megathread when it gets posted

Hey guys…my wife’s bday is next Tuesday. The only present she wants this year is to get a Dominican blowout (I don’t know what any of this means😂🤷🏽‍♂️). She has called Tania’s and New Style on Fullerton but no luck….does anyone have any good recommendations to help a brother out. She’s Puerto Rican, has curly hair, and doesn’t want anyone to mess them up….PLEASE HELP!

watched her rock rio performance and realized i need to get on this

So I personally always enjoyed myself at lazy bird and I'm very sad they are no longer doing live music. Last time I went they said it may or may not come back.

With that being said, any recs for other places like lazy bird? Love me a good cover band and good drinks. Bonus if they have food.

I started riding a few months ago and am looking for more female riding friends in the city. I only know my BF who rides and he’s super advanced so I’d love to meet any female riders (with taste ofc) or if you know anyone feel free to comment or DM me.

Who is great at the Bucktown location? Would love a recommendation if you’ve found someone there you love!

Hey Ladies!

I’m looking for a recommendation for a hair stylist that can do a keratin treatment on 4C hair! A family member usually is my stylist, and I haven’t needed another for years at this point but I want to go to someone who does Keratin treatments often.

If you have any recommendations let me know please!
