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! While I have always been a big fan of drinking tea both at home and in cafes, I recently experienced the very posh concept of Afternoon Tea, and boy will it be hard for me to ever go back from there. Ladies, if you've ever put on a pretend tea party as a little girl, think of that but ten times better. This year for New Years Eve, some of the women in my family decided to att[...]
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! Ready to dive into furniture heaven with a glass of pinot noir in hand? Well, I managed to stumble upon the ultimate art gallery and cafe in the chic Chicago neighborhood of Gold Coast. Restoration Hardware, also known as RH Chicago, is a total bougie vibe. It's a six-level furniture gallery with a rooftop park and conservatory, and also home to a grand courtyard dining exper[...]
Hey girl! In September 2022, I went on my first cruise to Alaska aboard Royal Caribbean's Radiance of the Seas. I will start off by saying that yes, it was overall pretty awesome and filled with once-in-a-lifetime experiences. I won't get too much into the excursions though here. This particularly post will just go into the pros and cons of the ship itself to better help you plan your[...]
Hey girl! Only one day after moving into my new apartment in Chicago, my family, boyfriend, and I decided to dine at Quartino Ristorante & Wine Bar. And boy, did it not disappoint. I definitely feel quite lucky having this spot right in the heart of my new neighborhood, River North, although trying this Italian cuisine has me so excited to venture over to Chicago's Little Italy.[...]
Hey girl! If you're anywhere near the Pacific Northwest, particularly Washington State, you simply must spend a weekend in Leavenworth. A German-themed town, Leavenworth, Washington is a gorgeous little Bavarian Village, which certainly has its charm: the snow-capped mountains views, the lush surrounding trees that turn into breathtaking fall foliage in Autumn, the little shops with en[...]
Hey foodie friend! As far as charming French seafood restaurants go, The Oyster and Thistle Restaurant & Pub ranks at the top. Tucked away in Skagit Valley's quaint town of La Conner, my boyfriend and I stumbled upon this gem after perusing a gorgeous tulip farm in the area. It's just 70 miles north of Seattle, and 30 miles southeast of the beautiful San Juan Islands. Read[...]
