Discovering health, wellness and the little things in Chicago.
If you didn't grow up as a kid liking rocky road ice cream were you even human? Probably not. Marshmallows, nuts, chocolate ice cream... sounds like a dream come true if you ask me. I've never been a huge marshmallow fan, aside from the occasional s'more every other day in the summer, but this dessert just had to happen. This past summer I received an awesome package from Chicago Vegan Foods ...
You can't deny the fact that a peanut butter and jelly sandwich is the ultimate comfort food. When you're lazy and need a quick lunch with a cold glass of (almond) milk, some peanut butter, fresh jam (or melted berries) and sprouted bread can't get you down.

October is officially here! This means I am setting a goal for myself. That is to get cracking on a ton of new and awesome products that I absolutely love. I want to review some of the best products for you guys and share with you all of the wonderful creations out there that you may not know about.
