Discovering health, wellness and the little things in Chicago.
Recently I've been trying to test out different products - specifically vegetarian and vegan ones - that I have seen around social media that catch my eye. Thanks to my friends over at EatNeat, I was able to receive some samples of their healthy replacements for meat. Supposedly it is sold in Whole Foods but I never came across it until I viewed it somewhere on Instagram. I looked into it and was ...
First things first, I love diners. I mean, who doesn't? Milkshakes, burgers, fries. The whole retro feel with spinning chairs at the bar and waitresses wearing cute pink aprons. We love it all.

Not only does Glassbox offer a wide array of juices but have a delicious homemade toast from the ...
Last week/this past weekend I went to visit two of my best friends from school in Saline, Michigan. I was there from Wednesday-Saturday and had a ton of good food along the way. For most of the trip we went ate in Ann Arbor where all of the shops are and along the University of Michigan campus (which is beautiful).
