Discovering health, wellness and the little things in Chicago.
Another day another guide for you. This time it has nothing to do with restaurant recommendations or coffee choices but rather what it’s like dating in a big city, dating in general, do I date?, what I care most about when dating, stigmas to break up with and more. I’ve thought about this for quite some time now and for the past three years that I’ve been dating, whether I like to admit it or not, ...
It’s kind of funny when I tell someone about my blog when they don’t really know me. If they take a good look around, they’ll find I’m a pretty vulnerable person and I love sharing about my life in all ways.
