Discovering health, wellness and the little things in Chicago.
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 ...
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.

As I've gotten older, I think I've learned to gain a new appreciation for the Earth in numerous ways. Not only just what grows out of it (all of that good #organic produce) but the people in it and how the way we treat it is only reciprocated back to us.

This week was the first week of my senior (and final) year of college and I can't even fathom it's coming to an end. My freshman year of ...
Today marked the day that Chicago received it's first snowfall of the year. With our up and down temperatures these past few weeks, it comes as no surprise that two days ago I was sitting comfortably on a park bench not exactly "cold" and tonight I wore a parka and scarf out of my yoga class. I've been experiencing crazy changes in body temperature thanks to the outside conditions from feeling as ...
Another day, another week gone by. My apartment becomes progressively colder by the second but luckily my dad was kind enough to have a space heater delivered to me this week (HALLELUJAH). I've been throwing on my Madewell ribbed circle scarf followed by a sweater or flannel almost every day. This might be a sign that I need to do more online shopping because we all know (us Chicagoans, at least) ...
