Discovering health, wellness and the little things in Chicago.
Fall mornings and the weather is getting colder... I should be gravitating away from the smoothie bowls and towards the hot oats. Yet what am I doing? Still make cold overnight oats. They're easy to grab in the morning and when you're waking up at 7:30am for an 8:30am class, they're most convenient. Every time I think of a breakfast I always do a smoothie or oatmeal. I just bought eggs this past ...
This post is directed towards my love of all things pure. Pure-ly Elizabeth that is. The rest of the ingredients are pretty pure too, you could say.

Taken straight from what I put into the paper, I will include the articles I write bi-weekly. Enjoy! College students are always on the hunt for the cheapest eats without traveling far distances. Most of us will spend our nights too busy to go to the dining ...
I've never been a huge bar person for the sole purpose they're usually just "nutritious" candy bars with not a ton of good-for-you ingredients but a ton of ingredients similar to a candy bar.
