Discovering health, wellness and the little things in Chicago.
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. I'm more aware than ever before of global warming and it's impact on us and I try my best to recycle, waste as little food as possible and give ...
It's only been 2016 for (almost) a week and so far, so good. Things are really looking up and I can't complain about a thing. In the last six days I've started my dream internship, planned out my upcoming 21st birthday and eaten plenty of chocolatey smoothies. In case I haven't mentioned, I re-joined ClassPass back up again last week and I'm loving every second of it. I wore myself out a bit this ...
There's something that I really can't stand and it's America's addiction with protein bars. As far back as I can remember, I've seen people crabbing Clif and Luna bars for meals and have never really understood why.

I find myself in this perpetual state of always being hooked on tacos. Usually I'm on the shrimp taco train but because I had leftover tofu from when I made Pho I decided I would fry some more of it up but with a taco seasoning and throw it in some tortillas. When I took my usual trip to Whole Foods last week, I picked up some non-GMO corn tortillas (because corn is one of the highest genetically ...
I first tasted vegetable "noodles" a year or so ago when my mom and I discovered spaghetti squash. If you're not familiar with this, please go to your local market, find one and look up a recipe for it. You basically cook the squash and drag a fork across the inside to form "noodles" then you top it with any sauce and meatballs, whatever you wish. Recently though I have seen on Pinterest and ...
