Discovering health, wellness and the little things in Chicago.
Happy Thursday, friends! After Memorial Day this week and being gone from work for five whole days, I finally have gotten back in the swing of things. I woke up on Tuesday and was sending out emails that said "Happy Wednesday" if that can give you any inclination as to how my week began. You could say I'm ready for the weekend! But before we go into a new weekend, I thought I'd chat with you ...

When I first started my blog almost two months ago, one of my first posts was about The Root Café's Raw Night every Thursday.
