Hey girl! I recently had the opportunity to experience absolute peace and serenity at AIRE Ancient Baths in River West, and WOW, my life has been forever altered! AIRE is a high-end bath house set in an industrial-style building (think exposed brick, concrete walls, and wooden beams). This luxury setting provides the experience of the traditional Roman, Greek, and Ottoman ancient baths[...]
Hey girl! I recently stayed in The Langham Chicago, a luxury 5-star hotel in downtown that is truly heaven on earth. Not to mention it's like 3 buildings away from where I live! The Langham Chicago is the perfect getaway for Chicagoans looking to escape winter in a nearby staycation that's close to home. It has romance, relaxation, great dining, and awesome amenities. Let me take a[...]
Hey girl, I recently had the pleasure of spending a rainy afternoon candle making in Chicago, an incredibly fun and relaxing adventure. My friend and Brazilian influencer Stefanny Luz invited me along to a complimentary experience at Candle Castle & Co. in the neighborhood of Bucktown. With spring in full swing and many more stormy days to come, I highly recommend taking a class he[...]
Hey girl! Only about a month ago in late February, I went through the most horrifying experience. One so bad, it left me vomiting uncontrollably on the floor of my office at work and being whisked away in an ambulance to the Emergency Room. I’m talking about a severe migraine attack. For obvious reasons, I hadn’t wanted to talk about the experience to anyone except my fami[...]
Hey girl! If you haven't heard yet, I've been absolutely OBSESSED with using the Peloton Bike over the last three months. I even recently surpassed 50 rides! But with how much I love biking now, I've noticed that pushing myself hard has resulted in a couple injuries. I've suffered a pulled groin three times since starting the Peloton, so I figured perhaps other riders are probably alre[...]
Hey girl! Remember back in 2019 when that "controversial" Peloton commercial was ALL the rage? For those out of the loop, it basically shows a woman whose husband gifts her one for Christmas and the internet BLEW UP with all kinds of backlash against men forcing their wives to workout. LOL. Peloton has come a very long way from 2019 and is arguably one of the most sought-after, popular[...]
Hey girl! I've been hearing a lot recently about friends and family trying Keto for weight loss, so I wanted to do some further exploration into what this is and how it works. The Keto Diet has gained popularity for many health benefits — like reduced appetite and inflammation, increased endurance, and better focus — but weight loss happens to be the most common reason people see[...]
Hey girl! Today we're talking fitness. While I am now quite an active person and workout roughly 5-6 days a week, I wasn't always like that. But I do completely credit my love and appreciation for exercise to Orangetheory Fitness. To put things into perspective, many people make the assumption that I learned to workout from my experience of being in the Army Reserves for eight year[...]
Hey girl! Sometimes the lessons or guidance we need in life aren't always focused on a specific area — be it business or personal. Sometimes we don't always know what we're missing either until it slaps us in the face. And sometimes just reading a good book with a simple moral weaved into its story is enough to strike a cord in us and show us a different way of living or thinking. Al[...]
Hey girl! We all have those moments filled with emotional turmoil. When life gets rough, it helps to put faith in your higher power (whatever that may mean to you), recite powerful affirmations that instill that faith, put in the hard work and effort, and let the universe work its magic. I've never considered myself to be religious, but my family grew up very spiritual. That basically[...]
