** I received a Dabble credit as part of the Super Dabbler ambassador program. I was a fan of Dabble before joining the program. As a self-proclaimed crazy plant lady, I find myself drawn to any Dabble.co class that involves plants. I've recently taken an air plant class with LeeLee's Gardens and loved my creation, so I wanted to try my hand at terrarium making. I selected the Black Thumb: A DIY Terrarium Workshop last week, and I was not ... Read the Post...

Let’s Dabble: Make & Sip Vertical Air Plant Garden
** As a Super Dabbler, I received a Dabble credit for this class. I was a fan of Dabble before becoming an ambassador, and all opinions are always my own. My latest Dabble adventure was creating an air plant garden at a LeeLee's Garden pop-up class at Hotel Lincoln. I was intrigued by the idea of working with air plants and I love anything garden-related, so this class was calling my name when I saw it on Dabble's calendar. I loved ... Read the Post...
Let’s Dabble: Braiding 101 with Dabble & Goldplaited
** I received a class credit for being a Dabble ambassador. All opinions have always been my own. If you see me on any given day, I am wearing my hair down, either straight or curled. I rarely do anything else to it. Thus, when I saw a Braiding 101 class listed on Dabble's website, I knew I wanted to try it. The $35 class was an hour and 45 minutes and was held at Goldplaited in Lakeview. Goldplaited is what's called a finishing ... Read the Post...
Let’s Dabble: Intro to Climbing Class
** I received a class credit for being a Dabble ambassador. All opinions have always been my own. As a Dabble ambassador, aka Super Dabbler, I am regularly trying new hobbies via the countless classes on the Dabble.co website. I've tried SUP yoga, sushi rolling and photography, among many other activities. While each class challenges me in some way, my most recent class helped me take on one of my biggest fears: Heights. This month's ... Read the Post...
Modern Lettering Class with Dabble.co!
Have you ever wanted to try something but felt unsure of where to start? Dabble.co has helped me with several of those situations. I recently wanted to buy a sign during vacation, but I couldn't bring myself to spend that kind of cash on it. It seemed like I could just do it myself if I practice lettering. Modern Lettering class, which I found via Dabble, quickly showed me that lettering is much more difficult than it ... Read the Post...
Dabble: Fused-Glass Dish Class with Chicago Glass Collective
My most recent Dabble.co experience was a Valentine's Day fused-glass candy dish at Chicago Glass Collective. The ability to make something to give as a gift for the holiday piqued my interest. I also thought it'd make a great friend or Valentine's outing, but I didn't have any luck finding someone to tag along. I realized when I walked into the building that I didn't know the suite number, but I saw a sign in the foyer for a Valentine's ... Read the Post...
BYOB Sushi 101 Class With Dabble Chicago
** I received a complimentary Sushi 101 class from Dabble. All opinions are my own. In fact, I loved Dabble.co before becoming an ambassador. I was nervous about my sushi-making class on New Year's Eve. I had many excuses for not going: I wouldn't know anyone there, it was a chilly day in Chicago and I was exhausted after running a half-marathon, but I didn't let any of that stop me from attending BYOB Sushi 101 with Chef ...

Holiday Ornament Making with Dabble!
It's been snowing in Chicago all weekend, and the only things that could draw me out of hibernation were yoga on Saturday and a holiday ornament-making class on Sunday that I found via Dabble.Co. I've written about my Dabble classes before (Read: SUP Yoga and Photography) but I have since become a Super Dabbler, which is an ambassador for the platform that gives you access to any sort of activity you might be interested in trying. I will be ... Read the Post...
I Dabbled in Photography
I've always loved photography. I took a photojournalism class in college, but I never pursued it beyond that. I'm finally at the place where I am willing and able to devote more time to developing this skill. I'd love to improve the quality of the photos I take, even if my plans don't include becoming a professional photographer. I started my journey with a class I found on Dabble. I had heard about Dabble from a friend who has tried classes ... Read the Post...
Unique Date Ideas in Chicago
A goal I haven't shared yet for this year is to go on more dates with my husband. We don't regularly schedule date nights, but I'd like to change that. As Valentine's Day approaches it's a good time to figure out plans, whether you're a married couple, longterm partners or just started dating. I'm sharing five experience date ideas in Chicago. Rage Room: I have wanted to do this since seeing a similar experience in an episode of "Workin' Moms." ... Read the Post...
