Discovering health, wellness and the little things in Chicago.
If anything, this year has truly taught me the less makeup the better. My 6 skincare must-haves for summer days have been keeping me mentally sane and my skin looking rather clear. A year ago, you would have never caught me in the summer makeup free. Whether it’s the fact we’re in a pandemic or I lost interest, I feel much better this year. Letting my skin breathe most days is crucial to me when ...

As a majority of you probably already know, there are so many gems you can find through Amazon Prime. I’ve been using it since college (about five or six years now) and have loved it ever since.

Happy almost Valentine’s Day, friends. This year has been so many things rolled into one already and we’re only two months in. I first started this series “The Little (Chickpea) Things” at the end of last year to give you a glimpse into what I’ve been loving lately and up to but once the holidays hit I kind of trailed off from the blog.
