Halo Top’s New Recipe 🍦 — I know a frequent feature here on DNS™️ is low-cal ice creams and while most folks certainly despise the chalky flavors of Halo Top, I beg of you to give them a try again. They recently redid their receipes and wheewwww honey it’s honestly everything. As mentioned on the labels, she’s creamier than ever and still usually only 300-360 cals for the entire pint. Try it, I dare you.

Third Annual Gift Giveaway 🎅🏾 — Definition started a #GiftGiveaway at Wadsworth Elementary in Woodlawn during 2020, a tough time for folks financially. Too often young people on the Southside are told their stories, experiences, and what brings them joy does not matter. Gifts during this time will provide almost 150 students a present and this year we’re hoping to expand our reach to include second graders—with a goal to raise $5K by Dec 31. If able, your support is greatly appreciated at bit.ly/definitiongift.

TJ’s Gone Bananas! 🍌— Threw these qt little desserts into my cart the other week and was rudely pleased with my purchase. These little slices of chocolate coated goodness are the perfect little treat after dinner (or before idc) when you’re binging through the latest ep of White Lotus. Come back next month for surely a rave review of the strawberry version.  

Werq Dance Fitness at Cheetah Gym

Back in October I started teaching at Cheetah Gym in Andersonville—and mama it’s a party every week. Join us on Mondays at 6p for a good time, every time. Drop-in’s are only $18, so I’ll see you there dancer. ✨

Taco Holders 🌮— While truly the simplest small addition to your kitchen serving supplies, I’ve found it to be one of my most used. These adorb little holders immediately bring your kitchen from small apartment living to Michelin star taco display. I luv my lil taco holders. The pack comes with four, for you and your closest taco buddies. 

Amplify Series Two

Back in August, Definition premiered eight pieces of new work from local playwrights both virtually and in person at the Logan Center. In case you missed either affair, you can stream all pieces online for free now at definitiontheatre.org/asii

Spot Angel 🚙 — One of the most used apps on my phone is Spot Angel. Whether you live in a city or frequent one with your car, this lil app will save your life in over 10 different cities when you’re trying to interpret the gibberish that is often parking violation signs. Using the app is as easy as navigating any other map on your phone and has saved my lil Accord from being towed on these soon to be very snowy Chicago streets more times than I would like to admit.

Packing Cubes 🧳 — Perhaps everyone and their mother knew about the pure joy of packing cubes and I’m just incredibly late to the party—but wow I’m here now. No one ever enjoys packing for a trip, at least no one I know, but somehow now putting things into their cube home makes it so much better. Even better sorting through your suitcase while on your trip is then 10x easier and I may need them in 7 different colors.
