July 26th – Sassy Chicks Chicago

If there is one thing you do not need to force me to do it’s….SHOPPING. My love of shopping has gotten me into trouble on more occasions than not. I couldn’t turn down a free ticket to attend the Sassy Chicks Chicago event. http://sassycitychick.com/event/details/sassy-city-chicks-chicago-2/. This was my second year attending.

Local designers and boutiques showcase their products at a discount. The tickets to enter the event are usually sold online around $10.00 and $40.00 at the door. I’m assuming a percentage of the ticket sales goes towards hosting the event at the Drake Hotel. Location is amazing. Everyone gets a free drink at the event and usually some snacks are provided.

I enjoyed getting my nails done for free. The makeup application on the other hand was just okay. I don’t think they had enough experience doing African American makeup. Anywho…since I didn’t pay for the ticket I was a happy camper. Nails done, makeup done, and browsing through purses, clothes, facial products…I was all set. The icing on the cake was each of us got a flower as we left the building. Now that’s how you treat a lady!

I normally get a code each year to purchase tickets for free. Once I receive the code I will be sure to post it to this site.
