Discovering health, wellness and the little things in Chicago.
You might not believe me when I say when I was little I thrived off of chocolate covered Oreos and Nutter Butters. But it's true. I was addicted to all things filled and covered to the brim with sugary milk chocolate and even would watch t.v. in my basement eating Fudgee Oreos (so heavenly) covered in Jif peanut butter. When my friends would come over, we'd stay up until 3a.m. clinking and ...
Pitaya, pitaya. Where have you been all of my life? If 2015 was the year of my açai bowl love affair forming, 2016 will be the year I make pitaya bowls until my eyes see hot pink everything everywhere. When I came across this magical pink bowl all over my Instagram feed, I had to find out what the hype was about.

I like to think of the weekend as the prime time to make all of the delicious treats for breakfast that I don't normally have time to create Monday through Thursday. When Friday rolls around I head to work pretty early so having a jar of overnight oats in the fridge ready to go is key.

If you've been reading and double-tapping my Instagrams since the beginning, you'll know I'm a huge fan of Purely Elizabeth granola and I love sweet potatoes. Don't get me wrong, I still love both of those but in 2016, I want to ...
For the past few days, I've really been under the weather. My body has not been a fan of 6 hour drives to and from my hometown of Cleveland combined with sleeping on a couch and being around my family's pets. Pet dander allergies are the worst, let me tell ya. I usually only get sick about 2-3 times a year and I think the reason is partly due to the foods I consume. I'm a firm believer that the ...
When you can't decide between a smoothie or oatmeal, you put the two together. Right? At least that's what I do and I strongly recommend it. The same goes for peanut butter and jelly. Okay, let's face it... I never can decide what I want for breakfast so this morning I just threw it all together, threw everything in my cupboards on top and this beautiful disaster was created. If you haven't ...
