Editor N Hush Chicago Magazine's ls the Chief, Ogi Merzier, revea e HUSH on the author of th Create acclaimed book, Why Wait? k Polancic Your Soul Mate Now! Fran d a is that SOUL MATE GUY an HUSH exposed!
exposed While the weather is figuring out how to give us summer full throttle, we can use the month of May to discover how to get the love we have yearned for full throttle!
Enter Chicago Author, Motivational Speaker and Success Coach, Frank Polancic! His acclaimed book, Why Wait? Create Your Soul Mate Now!, is the perfect approach for improving your love life in a very unique, transformational and practical way.
Lucky for us Mr. Polancic is based right here in Chicago, he spends most of his time traveling the country sharing his message on how to have a happy soul mate relationship. His knowledge should be taken to heart, pun intended. Frank says, "singles must improve themselves first to attract and ideal mate rather than look for someone else to 'complete' them." According to Frank we must learn how to disengage from "looking" for love, long enough to attract real long lasting love! His exercises, examples and passion for his work has lead to helping hundreds of soul mate couples get together.
If you are love challenged in the one of the most vibrant seasons of the year, it may be time to experience a breakthrough in your life after reading your copy of Why Wait? Create Your Soul Mate Now! www.createyoursoulmatenow.com Need to Contact Frank or for booking info: email: FrankPolancic@SBCGlobal.net

Turn on any T.V or flip thru a gossip magazine and you will no doubt see just how much 80s hair has returned, in a very vibrant way! From Lady Gagas canary yellow look at last years Grammy Award Show, to Katy Perrys electric blue get up on the red carpet, neon coifs are all the rage. No longer only associated with the punk rock scene and inner city rebellion, neon has gone Hollywood and your favorite A-list Celeb just cant resist this trend!
Celebrity hairstylist and salon owner Tennia Williams of Chicagos Ten Shades Glam Lounge shares her opinion on the craze and tips for us regular fashionistas on keeping this throwback look modern.
Katy Perry
Kim: What neon color trends have you seen this season? Tennia: The most requested has been Pinks and neon Greens, also Purples, Reds and Turquoise too...those colors are most likely to be customized.
Singer, Kelis
Kim: Besides two toning the hair, how would you modernize this hair trend? Tennia: Definitely with highlighted strands of color. Kim: How can you keep a healthy mane with such a bold look?
Gaga y d a L
Kelly Osbourne
Tennia: Moisturizing with natural oils or shine sprays is key. Kim: Is there an alternative to such a permanent step? Tennia: Yes, Wigs! Wigs are once again hot! Neon accessories like pony tail holders and hair bands are extremely trendy & many times overlooked. All can be found at your local beauty supply store.

Sheers come in and out of trend from time to time, but sheers can become a staple in your wardrobe. Sheers are a great way to layer and exude the illusion of sexiness.

The animal kingdom groupies wont miss out thanks to the feline family of prints. You can choose oversized styles to those resembling the 1950s/60s or funk it up with bold colors that make you a trendsetter no matter your style. During my visit to the boutique I caught an array of unisex styles that are must-haves! Get the infamous aviators that never go out of style and dont forget a second pair for your significant other. The owner of the store, Heidi is chic and fantastic! Even for the wee ones following your footsteps the boutique offers fashion fun styles similar to the grown up versions. Last but never least-the NERD look is the new SEXY! Why not try on the trend in an array of various colors. All the shades available at Zaraz feature great embellishments and hardware, from sturdy plastic to metal frames. Zaraz Collection Boutique is the trendiest destination and one stop shop for the traveling trendsetter! Squinting is definitely a fashion fail. The frames at Zaraz are fresh off the runway!

taste this hush! Orange 738 N. Clark
Austria Bakery 2523 N. Clark
Orange has a very unique menu with great portions. The coffee alone is my favorite reason to go there, with its amazing orange peel taste you will be on your fourth and fifth cup before you know it.
It is a very quaint Bakery with wholesomestraightforwardfood, sausage and bacon with eggs. Nevertheless the pastries is where its at, somewhere between the cream cheese filled danishes and the decadent cakes, your taste buds will be in heaven.
Bongo Room 1470 N. Milwaukee
Saturday and Sunday morning, this is where you want to be. The Chocolate French toast is the best I have ever had, there will be a line, but it will be worth every bite.
