Discovering health, wellness and the little things in Chicago.
It seems to me that every time I go into my kitchen to make a smoothie, I always lean towards the same fruits, greens and add-ins. I'll go for the closest tub of Vega protein I have in my cupboard (one of my favorite on the market), almond milk, maybe some nut butter and a banana. It doesn't get any more boring than that, really. This past weekend, however, I decided it was time to mix it up and ...
As I progressively become more of a foodie, I am developing an infatuation for snacking. Honestly I would prefer multiple little snacks throughout the day than one huge meal. Who's with me? Especially during the academic year when my days and nights are consumed with back-to-back classes and then the occasional work shift, there's nothing better than snacking.

Today was one of the weirdest Mondays I've had in quite some time. I haven't been able to sleep the past few days because my room is the hottest one in my apartment, therefore getting a good night's sleep is close to impossible.

Who doesn't love waking up on a Sunday morning, putting on a fancy outfit and meeting up with friends and family to enjoy pancakes, eggs and whatever else your heart desires? A side of hash browns, bacon, fruit... and don't forget the iced coffee! Sunday brunch is the one day ...
I'm currently sitting on my couch in my apartment watching what else other than Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives. As annoying as Guy Fieri might be, this show is my religion. It just so happens the restaurant that that's on now is DMK Burger Bar, a burger joint right out of Chicago near Wrigley Field.
