Another Monday morning and I'm in bed drinking my usual go-to coffee, thinking about how I don't remember the last time I blogged on a Monday... but here I am. I'm usually heading to class at this time but since it's Easter break, I'm off today (from school, that is). I'm heading into work soon and then hitting up a Barry's Bootcamp class led by my friend Kate (seriously if you haven't taken her ...
Another Summer Flying By
Today is officially the first day of "fall", or you could say my fall semester. So yes, it is technically still summer if you're not enrolled in any college courses but for those of us who are, it's back to the books. Speaking of which, I have yet to purchase all of mine and of course, my classes begin tomorrow. Why am I not even surprised? This fall I'll be enrolled in classes Tuesdays and ...
What I’ve Been Sipping On All Summer
It's no secret that when it's 90º out in the summer, the next best thing to a tub of ice cream in your hands is an iced beverage of some sorts to cool you off.

I also left work last night, headed to Whole Foods in this week's second (almost) hurricane and ended up purchasing a bottle of Stumptown cold brew (the best iced coffee I've tasted in my life thus far, aside from Blue Bottle). ...
The Most Inspirational Weekend Yet
Who would think that starting out my Friday at work and ending it in my apartment Sunday night with my roommate watching The Real Housewives of Orange County (what she's lured me into), I would be filled with so many emotions. From spending Friday night with my three absolute best friends I've found at my college to meeting one of my absolute favorite bloggers today, Jordan Younger, I could not be ...
Roasted Chickpea Tacos
Happy Thursday my fellow chickpeas. Guess what? Not only is the week almost over but apparently Comcast had an outage in the Chicago area I live in and the wifi and cable are completely out. A total letdown when you're trying to blog from bed. But no worries, it's great motivation to walk to my favorite local coffee shop to grab a tangerine ginger iced tea while blogging at a cute little desk ...
