Discovering health, wellness and the little things in Chicago.
A few weeks back I shared on my Instagram how I bit the bullet and decided to invest in a Peloton bike. I asked you guys to send in some questions so I could write up a full post on why I ended up purchasing one (after 3 years of being a die hard SoulCycle fan), the reason why I love their classes so much, my favorite classes and instructors to take and so much more. With everything I share ...
One week of Whole30 done and it somehow feels like it’s flying by. Maybe it’s because I’ve been extremely busy the last two weeks.

For the past year or so, I've been doing ClassPass and absolutely loving it.
