Discover your best skin with a facial 💆🏻‍♀️ from Morgan Cloyd Esthetician at 6 Degrees Salon! I’m still glowing, and my appointment was two weeks ago. My skin gets super dry in the winter, so when Morgan reached out and asked if I’d like to come in, I couldn’t say no! Her facials start at just $40, which is a fantastic deal for the value you get. Not only also did she give me the best facial, but the shoulder & neck massage left me feeling incredibly relaxed and much less tense than when I arrived, elevating my overall experience from good to outstanding! Schedule an appointment through the 13th of February for $10 off 💸 any service. She only has a couple spots left.

Lunch at @oskeessportspub has me dreaming about patio season 💭🍻☀️ Oskee’s is inside Atkins Golf Club at The University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. It’s the perfect spot for feasting on bold & flavorful classic dishes 🌮🥪🌯 like chicken Caesar wraps, pulled pork sandwiches, burgers, tacos, and more! My favorite thing was their bang bang shrimp that comes coated in a sweet spicy glaze over creamy coleslaw. 🤤 If you haven’t tried the fried oskee yet, RUN! I walked out the door on a sugar high after that one 😂 DON’T FORGET, you still have until February 1st to check out their restaurant week specials. Thanks for watching!
