Discovering health, wellness and the little things in Chicago.
It’s been about two years since I last did a guide to Chicago and since then so many places have emerged. I’ve found a new found love for discovering restaurants, coffee shops and grab and go spots in the city and love sharing them with you guys. I’ve wanted to do this for quite a few months now but I’m going to be putting together separate guides rather than one post alone. To start, I figured ...
I’m so excited to share today’s post with you guys. I am such a sucker for a good matcha latte and I think it’s so important for my readers and followers to know the best spots (especially when traveling) to get one.

I love nothing more than when someone asks me my favorite spots in a city, especially my own. When I read travel guides or someone’s top recommendations in their home town, I want to know what they get ...

Since I lost my mom last year to stage four cancer, it’s been something that’s always on my mind. Focusing my energy, mind and time into the small things that matter. In high school when I took French class, we read The Little Prince and talked about ...
This post was in partnership and sponsored by Vital Proteins. All opinions and thoughts are my own. Thank you for supporting Chickpea in The City! It’s the last Friday of 2017 and if you would have asked me a year ago how I’d be starting my morning, I’d probably say with a cup of cold brew or an almond milk latte. Over the course of the year, not only have my eating habits changed but so have ...
