Discovering health, wellness and the little things in Chicago.
It’s no surprise that CBD has been trending within the last year. I started using CBD back in 2018 and have been hooked ever since to help me better my sleep, help me stay calm and lower my stress levels. At first I just thought it was a hoax and once I started supplementing it into my daily and nightly routine, I really noticed a shift. If you’re curious about reading more about it and how it’s ...
October 24th is a very special date to me as it’s my mom’s birthday. For those who are new here, I lost my mom to cancer almost three years ago and there are few specific dates like today that make me think of her more than others.

Would you be able to tell yourself how you would feel every day, the people you would meet and the adventures you would take?
