Discovering health, wellness and the little things in Chicago.
Today I'm featuring one of my favorite Instagrammer/blogger foodie friends that I "met" over Instagram (yes, because people do that now-a-days) this past spring. Over the summer, I've seen not only her blog grow but even began using her recipe for oatmeal as my go-to in the mornings. She's the "queen of oats" and as I'm a huge fan of a breakfast, I couldn't think of a better way to feature Rachel ...
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. Sometimes (and recently, all the ...
It's no secret that when it's 90º out in the summer, the next best thing to a tub of ice cream in your hands is an iced beverage of some sorts to cool you off.

I won't lie to you, I also wanted to get out my phone and take a picture of it. The foodie in me always ...
Happy Thursday my fellow chickpeas. Guess what? Not only is the week almost over but apparently Comcast had an outage in the Chicago area I live in and the wifi and cable are completely out. A total letdown when you're trying to blog from bed. But no worries, it's great motivation to walk to my favorite local coffee shop to grab a tangerine ginger iced tea while blogging at a cute little desk ...
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. If you walked into my room it'd be laughable at how many fans I have going and yet I still wake up sweating every night. Currently I have a ceiling fan, one fan in front ...
