Discovering health, wellness and the little things in Chicago.
For the past few weeks, every Friday I’ve been sharing a few of my favorite photos of my favorite moments within the last seven days. So from the prior Saturday to Thursday and then I’ll share what the highlights were. I’ll be starting this in a series called “Chickpea Things: Vol 1” next week and an additional “Month in Review” where I can share my favorite photos from the past month. I’ve ...
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.

But one thing I’ve been a fan of for going on two years now is collagen ...
We've finally made it to Friday! Yes! Thank goodness. I don't know about you but I've definitely got a busy weekend ahead of me. I'll be spending most of the afternoon in the West Loop shooting something fun all over the neighborhood, spending tomorrow morning at Mirepoix Studio in Wicker Park for some afternoon yoga and following it up with drinks and a concert for my friend's 25th birthday. Woo! ...
