Chicago's takeout options just got a makeover. Foxtrot is a local app that delivers curated menus of wine, beer, and snacks to your door in under an hour (so it's pretty much a harried party host's dream.) Now the "Life" selection, which offers everyday essentials, has just expanded to include a women's apothecary aisle. Dubbed "Get Pretty," the section holds around 25 products. Included: shampoos and conditioners from Acure Organics, body products (including the dry-heel-banishing Heel Glaze) from Farmhouse Fresh, and lip gloss from butter London.
"Whether you're wanting to pamper yourself for a big date or you get to the office in the morning and realize you forgot deodorant, our curated selection and on-demand delivery makes it a breeze to order and get it in minutes," said Crystal Tao, a rep for the brand. "We have your familiar staples, but also provide an uncluttered shopping experience to discover new favorites." Tao's personal favorite? She's digging the Farmhouse Fresh products, which "smell amazing" and come in "decorative glass jars are perfect for gifting." Download the app here.
