Discovering health, wellness and the little things in Chicago.
I've said it on my blog before how I love vegan food. Some people even ask me if I'm vegan when they first meet me and realize I'm a health foodie. Oh so you like healthy food, you eat primarily vegetables and plant-based meals... no meat for you right? No, not exactly. Despite not being a vegan, it is true that I love dishes that are classified as vegan. Right now I currently have leftover cooked ...
It's that time of the week when I've eaten about everything in my fridge that I deem appealing or edible.

This week has been one big whirlwind of work, getting back into workouts and yoga, doing the hardest barre of my life and exploring the gorgeous views of Chicago. I also had time to cook dinner for my friend and I, explore Millennium Park and browse online for new Sam Edelman boots that I'm dying (and cannot wait) to buy next week.
