Discovering health, wellness and the little things in Chicago.
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. Rather than a plain bowl of oatmeal with ...
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.

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 ...
I haven't posted in what feels like forever due to my busy schedule and with recently getting hired at Chicago Raw (which I'm so excited about) but I'm back! This past week I received a huge box from my mailroom filled with wonderful goodies from Vega.
