A day trip to fuel my soul 💙💛⁣
⁣
For some people, it’s the beach. For others, it’s an escape to nature. For me, it’s this place. It always has been. And now I’m 97 miles away, door to door. ⁣
⁣
As it happened, I stumbled into Welcome Weekend. I couldn’t help but be envious of the little hatchlings that sprung from their minivans, adorned with license plates from across the country. Bearing witness to a new, huge chapter in their lives that will, admittedly, look very different from ours. ⁣
⁣
At one moment, I sent a huge vibe out into the universe. Hoping that their experiences in this place would teach them about how the world truly works and teach them enough to grow to change it ✨

Day 28 as a Chicago resident and it’s felt like home from the beginning 🖤⁣
⁣
When I left DC three years ago, I wasn’t sure where I’d end up. I love DC but it no longer felt right. I needed change. I needed a challenge. I wanted an adventure. The plan was Door County for 6 months then on to Denver 🏞 or Seattle or Boston. Life happened (as it does), plans changed, and I found myself in a place I felt lost - not in a good way. ⁣
⁣
Being in that space over the past few years was invaluable. I was able to experience a part of myself I’m not sure I would have tapped into unless I’d put myself in a place like that. Ultimately, I realized - what I had maybe known all along but needed to work it out in real time - that I felt most at home in a city 🌃⁣
⁣
Back in 2017, Chicago was on the shortlist along with Denver and the others. Chicago was 𝘢𝘤𝘵𝘶𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺 the plan right after graduating from IU but again - life. Throughout the past decade, I’d toyed with the idea of taking up residence in the Windy City but would arrive at the same conclusion: it was too safe. My dad’s family is from Chicago, lots of friends from IU ❤️ live in the city, and it would be too safe of a choice. Ironically, it’s those same reasons I kept rejecting this city for so long that helped me in my decision to move here now. ⁣
⁣
I have pushed myself to breaking points many times over the last year alone. For the first time in a long time, to be in a space that is completely my own, in a city I’ve always loved feels overwhelmingly right. Even if they AC has broken twice, there’s massive water damage in the bathroom, and the power goes out every now and then 🤣🤦🏼‍♀️⁣
⁣
All this to say: Go on your own adventure. The things you learn along the way will change your life ✨ #chicagoblogger

What’s quarantine appropriate workwear? I’m firmly sticking to a business casual on top, leggings on bottom situation for the duration 😎⁣

The easiest way to introduce collagen into your routine? Add it to your morning coffee ☀️⁣
⁣
Pro tip: swap out your regular #collagen for @vitalproteins cocoa caramel collagen latte supplement (and yes, it’s just as delicious as it sounds!)⁣
⁣
How it works: just + hot water 💧⁣
⁣
My secret: I add a scoop to my regular coffee ☕️ to give it that extra kick 💥⁣

Confession: I’ve been wearing the same blank tan

Confession: I’ve been wearing the same blank tank for the past 8 years. Like - this one, single black tank. Yes, you read that right 🙈⁣
⁣
It was a thoughtless purchase from an @anntaylor sale to fill the essential black sleeveless tank void in my wardrobe. It turned out to be one of my most worn items and one I wished I’d purchased in bulk 💸⁣
⁣
It’s taken me years to find an option that rivals the versatility of the original tank and today I found two options under $15 at @nordstrom that look incredibly promising 🖤
