Discovering health, wellness and the little things in Chicago.
Today is officially the first day of "fall", or you could say my fall semester. So yes, it is technically still summer if you're not enrolled in any college courses but for those of us who are, it's back to the books. Speaking of which, I have yet to purchase all of mine and of course, my classes begin tomorrow. Why am I not even surprised? This fall I'll be enrolled in classes Tuesdays and ...
The other day my roommate was making a burger and by the time she plated it, all I wanted right there and then was some kind of burger. Kind of like when you're watching the Food Network and Giada is making some crazy pasta dish and all you think is "wow, I could go for some pasta right now."

From spending Friday night with my three absolute best friends I've found at my college to meeting one of my absolute favorite bloggers today, Jordan Younger, I could not be ...

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. ...
As I'm sure many of you know, this past weekend was Lollapalooza. For the past two years, I highly anticipated going to Lolla and every summer I always promised myself that the first summer I had an apartment in the city, I would attend.
