Hi friends! I hope everyone’s been having a good November so far. I feel like this month has been flying by and now that Thanksgiving is already next week, truly where has the time gone? My week started off pretty slow but I feel like the rest of the week/into the weekend will be really good. I’ve been wanting to start this blog series for a bit but I want something more permanent on my blog that ...
Chickpea Travels: July Trip to Denver, Colorado
At the end of July I visited my brother in Denver, Colorado and although I’ve already got two guides on the magical place, I knew I had to do another one because honestly - it is one of my favorite places ever. Every time I visit, it gets better… and better… and I want to move there. So freaking badly. One day I’m sure but until now, I love my apartment in Chicago way too much to leave ...

Chickpea’s Guide to Chicago: Part 2
I can’t believe that this is the first week of October. I can't even begin to express my excitement as this month will probably be the busiest, most insane and stressful yet also most relaxing month of this year. At the end of the month, I'll be working a dietitian trade show called FNCE that is being held in Chicago this year. A ton of my friends from Instagram and the blogging community will be ...
The Chickpea’s Guide to 48 Hours in Denver
Hi, friends! Happy almost August. I truly can't even believe the summer is almost over and to top it off, this is the first summer where I won't have to worry about going back to school in the fall. What a weird feeling. Last summer, I was so wrapped up in two jobs and family matters that I didn't have the opportunity to travel anywhere. I knew that this summer I definitely wanted to at least get ...
