Discovering health, wellness and the little things in Chicago.
This weekend was a highlight to my summer for many reasons. First of all, it was my first weekend that I can remember where I didn't have to work or have a scheduled mapped out each day. Since I quit my one job and transferred over to another one, I have my weekends open which I must say is phenomenal. If the real world is like this (working Monday through Friday) with weekends off, I'm loving it. ...
