Discovering health, wellness and the little things in Chicago.
For my fall break four day vacation, I planned a few weeks back to go to Kansas to visit my mom. When you think of Kansas, most people imagine The Wizard of Oz, tornadoes and houses in the middle of fields. Usually people from Kansas tell you they live in a populated town such as Kansas City. Yet where my mom lives really is a scene out of The Wizard of Oz. However, we spent Saturday and Sunday ...
This past week (and the weekend before), I somehow managed to eat relatively good tasting meals and tried to mix up my options. Getting a little of my creative juices flowing. That's another goal for myself which I'm trying to meet: making the food I eat not only prettier but more simple in some ways and more fancy in others. I want to mix up what I eat.

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. You may think you've heard of most healthy nut and food bars but I'm sure all you really know ...

Although the weekend is not fully over yet (don't let it be over!) and I have two more meals to go, I am going ...
On Saturday morning I made the trek to Chicago at around 8am and through a rain storm and heavy traffic, I finally made it into my dorm during the late afternoon. I always try to pack healthy snacks/breakfasts/lunches when I'm going on a road trip or long car ride just so I don't starve during the trip and end up with nasty options on the side of the road. I started my morning off with ...
So as of right now my new favorite thing is this smoothie. It is so creamy, so rich and overall I'm just obsessed. The first time I made it I used cocoa powder because I don't usually have chocolate protein powder on hand (I currently have a huge bag of SunWarrior Vanilla which I love and highly recommend). Because of that, I can always use vanilla protein powder and just throw in a tablespoon ...
