My First Trip to King Spa Niles (and Why I’m Already Planning My Next One)
I finally did it. After hearing people talk about King Spa for what feels like years, I made the trip out to the Niles location with my friend Laurel and honestly? I get it now. I get the hype. If you’ve never been, King Spa is a Korean spa with a whole circuit of pools,… Read more

Can We Just Be Friends First?
I’ve been thinking a lot lately about how fast we label things. Two people start talking, there’s some chemistry, a few good conversations happen, and suddenly everyone involved — including the two people — has decided this is either A Thing or Not A Thing. There’s no in-between anymore. No “let’s just see who this… Read more

I thought I knew about pregnancy, then I became pregnant. While there is so much information floating out there about pregnancy, and most of it seemed legit, I really didn’t learn most of these things until I discovered that I was growing a mini-me. And today I’m going to share these gems of knowledge with… Read more

Joy is the key to happiness
Oftentimes I’ve ran into this situation: “Oh we’re just together for the kids.” I’ve seen it in my family, friends, and acquaintances. It’s become so common that I usually don’t even think about it. Strangely enough, I’ve always found it sad even though I don’t have kids and have never been in a similar situation.… Read more

Late night thoughts
I have a theory. Or maybe a few of them. All relating to people and their behaviors. This is probably one of the latest blog posts I’ve ever done, but I wanted to write this week and didn’t have time until now. There’s an article I read recently about this amazing couple that lost all… Read more

Open for Business: Mini Target
Yay Target! The cutest Target opened up this past week in Oak Park, IL. It’s one of eight small format stores in the Chicagoland area, and as an Oak Park resident I couldn’t be happier. No longer are the days I’d have to cross the busy street of Harlem to go to Walgreens to pay… Read more

Dating in 2017 – a mental shift
Dating is dead, or so they say. In my opinion, it’s not completely dead, it has just changed into something very different compared to when I started dating many years ago.
