Discovering health, wellness and the little things in Chicago.
This post was sponsored by Earthbound Farm Organic and Dash Hudson. All thoughts and opinions are my own. Thank you for making these posts possible! I remember the days when green smoothies were just coming onto the health food scene and everyone was iffy about 'em. I'd take pictures of the ones I made in high school and people would ask me if I genuinely enjoyed drinking kale and spinach in ...
You might not believe me when I say when I was little I thrived off of chocolate covered Oreos and Nutter Butters. But it's true.
