Laugh with Me
Who doesn’t love a bit of classic comedy? We certainly do! At 2 p.m. on Saturday, May 30, film historian Dr. Annette Bochenek presents “Ladies of Laughter: Great Comediennes” a program filled with history and commentary about the funny women of film, television, and radio. Some familiar faces may include Gracie Allen, Lucille Ball, and Eve Arden. It sounds like the perfect escape after being cooped up.

Shades of You
Warby Parker’s newest 2020 collection, the Nesso Series, includes five new optical and sun styles, featuring two distinct materials and an interlocking end piece sculpted just for these dynamic frames. Crafted in Italy, the palette of saturated acetates are bonded to metal detailing through three nuanced design elements, highlighting the dramatic shapes and soft angles of the frames. warbyparker.com/nesso-series
To a Tea
The mission of philanthroTEA is simple; they fill your cup so that you can help to fill the cups of others. They have carefully curated a group of Chicago area organizations who are passionate about giving back. Twenty percent of profits from the sale of each blend is donated to organizations who are dedicated to making our world a better place for generations to come. Their blends are certified Kosher, non- GMO, and USDA organic, which results in a pure cup of tea that is consistently worth bragging about. PhilanthroTEA is a sister-owned company that stemmed from a sincere desire to give back. The sisters grew up in a home that was built on love, hard work, and respect. When they began sketching the framework of philanthroTEA, both knew that the foundation of the business had to embody these principles in order to pay tribute to their roots.
