Discovering health, wellness and the little things in Chicago.
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.

Once I got off work yesterday, I took a nice long walk with a friend to a natural grocer up north and got myself a kombucha while she ...
I'm currently sitting on my couch in my apartment watching what else other than Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives. As annoying as Guy Fieri might be, this show is my religion. It just so happens the restaurant that that's on now is DMK Burger Bar, a burger joint right out of Chicago near Wrigley Field. They have a salmon burger with red curry mayo and a bison burger with fresh goat cheese and blueberry ...
