Discovering health, wellness and the little things in Chicago.
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. It could be that meal planning and focusing on making meals rather than eating out/going to coffee shops has been the one thing putting me at ease right now. Maybe it’s all of these things and just the fact that I’ve felt better mentally and physically in this Whole30 ...
It’s kind of funny when I tell someone about my blog when they don’t really know me. If they take a good look around, they’ll find I’m a pretty vulnerable person and I love sharing about my life in all ways.

Knowing that I'm going into this month with 4 events and a trip to Ann Arbor, Michigan, I'd say it probably is going to be the best September yet. Today not only is it the first day of ...
This post is in partnership with Quaker Oats. All opinions and thoughts are my own! Thank you to the brands that make Chickpea in The City possible. I remember when I got to college and I ate oatmeal like it was going out of style.
