Discovering health, wellness and the little things in Chicago.
Imagine teleporting to Italy right after you just worked the busiest 7 hour shift of your life. Then imagine devouring the finest pizza and gelato you could imagine on one of the nicest nights of the summer. That was pretty much how I spent this past Sunday night and had no complaints about it whatsoever. Alright maybe I wasn't teleported to Italy exactly but you could say I went pretty close. ...
Let's face it, brunch is always on my mind when the weekend rolls around. I'm sure most of Americans can agree with me.
