My friend Heather posted the CUTEST photo of her in a dress- I had NO idea it was from lululemon, and decided to pop over to their website to see what else I was out of touch with. To my surprise I realized a lot of the merchandise is exactly what I am looking for…
Last month I decided to start making time to think of and write down my intentions for the upcoming month. I shared how my friend Gina creates monthly intentions and shares them on her blog and social media which in turn inspired me to do the same. Each month I’m going to be sharing the…
I swear shopping for a sports bra is more like dating. Hear me out. Ladies, with both we’re looking for “the one”. You know- high quality: dependable and supportive, etc. Well, with bras it’s the same. There should never be a sacrifice of quality for style. Not to mention, long lasting, weightless, versatile bras allowing…
Earlier this month I attended the free lululemon vision and goals workshop at their new Lincoln Park Experiential store. This was the debut of the Values and Goals workshop and it was absolutely amazing! I saw this event on the @lululemonchi Instagram account and signed up ASAP. Good thing I did because both nights ended…
I love goal setting and planning. I have for as long as I can remember. My friend Gina creates monthly intentions and shares them on her blog and social media. I love tuning in each month to see what she has to say and it has inspired me to make intentions this month. I wasn’t…
Everything you need to know about protein powder. In May I wrote an article about Jungle Shot, the pre-workout I take and why it is important.

The festival travels to multiple cities across the United States to showcases solely gluten free brands. There are other extensions to the…
What you need to know about taking a pre-workout and if you should. Until last month I had never included a pre-workout in my fitness routine. In fact, the thought hadn’t crossed my mind. I have a yoga background and this isn’t exactly a topic we discuss after class. Last year I started weight lifting…
JANUARY RECAP: January was a crazy month for me. I feel like I was able to accomplish a lot- especially with my health/ fitness. I finally found a yoga studio I like and started taking classes regularly! I was in a food funk in December but thanks to Pinterest I discovered a few new snacks/…

How many times have you heard the saying “new year, new me”? I’ve lost count. Since the 1st of the month my Instagram feed is flooded with declarations of fitness goals/ intentions. As sad as it is to say, I know half of these goals will be abandoned by the end of the year, if…
Not all jerky is created equal. What’s Whole 30 approved, certified gluten-free, non-GMO, all- natural, filled with 9 grams of protein and tasty? Well, CHOMPS of course! CHOMPS followed me on Instagram a few weeks ago and when I saw the notification I knew the name sounded familiar. As soon as I clicked on their…
