We’ve been in the suburbs for nine months now and in some ways, it’s felt like forever. In other ways, it’s only been a minute and I sometimes want to drive “home” to our condo in Wicker Park when I’m in the city. I wrote this post about why we left the city here, but […]
Once I listen to a podcast, I can’t stop. I’m insatiable and digest the content quickly–while I’m in the car, doing housework, writing emails–it’s all free podcast time. Last fall I talked about some podcasts that I LOVED (check them out here); About half are about fashion start-ups, entrepreneurs, or best friends gabbing, but other […]
For me, the clean beauty movement started with deodorant. My mom always avoided antiperspirants and as I did my own research, I realized how harmful it was to let your skin absorb these toxic ingredients. As I became more and more interested in skincare (that wasn’t until my late 20s), I was drawn towards effective […]
Growing up, I desperately wanted to be athletic. I started playing softball as a 1st grader and picked up soccer (God, I was awful at that) and basketball later on (I was marginally better at that).

I’m not a huge fan of making life changing New Years’ resolutions. While I believe that people are capable of making huge, overnight life changes for themselves, I more so believe that the small changes we make are what produce the greatest longterm effects. I don’t like to be set up to fail and making […]
Over the weekend, I asked for your help on IG stories. I was feeling in a rut with Trader Joe’s and told you all to spam me with your favorites. It was an awesome exercise as I made the ask right before I went to the store and the responses came pouring in; I was […]
I’m busy, you’re busy, we’re all busy–especially this time of year. In this past year, I left my 9-5 (I mean, it wasn’t 9-5 at all, but you all get what I’m saying) job to work for myself. With that, I thought, great! I’m going to have so much time and freedom…um wrong. I’m hustling […]
