Small Business Spotlight of the Week: CorpsAfrica
Amanda | January 4th, 2012The stress of the holidays and debauchery of the New Year has faded away and, for a lot of us, this means we try to get serious about things we want to change in our lives.

Small Business Spotlight of the Week: NinjaDog Concepts
Amanda | December 21st, 2011I knew that this week, right before the holidays, our small business spotlight had to feature something warm and fuzzy and completely heartwarming.

Small Business Spotlight of the Week: Green Envee Organics
Amanda | November 30th, 2011Remember those lotion commercials from a few years back that featured an alligator roaming around, showing us all how dry, cracked, and just overall unappealing our skin can look because winter is so desolate? And, apparently, this year so snowless. Well, Green Envee Organics can help fix that. Your moisture-sapped skin, that is, not Chicago’s [...]
Small Business Spotlight of the Week: Crowdegy
Amanda | November 16th, 2011All of us are smarter than one of us. And those of us with “crowd” in the name are best. #notsohumblebrag.
