Real Life

You can always find me buzzing around so I love sharing my life in real time on Instagram! If you don’t follow along normally, here is what I have been to. And if you do, I’m going a little deeper that the original comment. Lot’s of great suggestions, spots to try and things to see!

Pedi trend alert! Are you seeing white tootsies as much as I am? I got gel nail varnish done with my mom over Mother’s Day weekend. And somehow she still treated me. Thanks Cindy!

Something new to sip. Pretty packaging always wins in my book. Speaking of mom’s, we celebrated Mother’s Day with a beautiful brunch. I couldn’t get over these beautiful and delicious teas. Pass the sugar please!

Tips from the pros. Did you see the past three Work Smarter, Not Harder columns? Given the move, I’ve been slacking on promoting these wonderful women.  You can find them all right here!

Best Chicago getaway. Every girl deserves a day-cation and Geneva is it. I’m telling you! I can’t wait to share my day along with Maya, Jess and Kelly in more detail next week. Stay tuned for the perfect itinerary!

A new place to shop… Have you been to Westfield Orchard Mall in Skokie? It’s so nice. I went for the first time and they carry the BEST brands! Including Uncle Julios. Muy bueno. I attended an event hosted by The Everygirl and Louis Roe here last week. Tell me this isn’t the cutest stage.

Vera does leather? I am loving my newest quilted pink lady courtesy of Vera Bradley. She holds everything. Consider me Mary Poppins and you’ll be seeing us again real soon. TTYL!

How to become Wife of the Year. I seriously nailed dinner the other night. I made cauliflower pizza for the first time and it tasted just as amazing as real pizza. I used this recipe but be sure to read the original version for clear directions. Don’t forget the egg! it’s THE BEST!!!!! A healthier, guilt free option to one of my dinner go to’s.

One of my favorite Chicago architectural wonders. The Lyric Opera Building. Never gets old.

Say waaaahh???? Best Empanadas in town. If you like the facade as much as I do, the empanadas at Cafe Tola are rumored to be even better. And lucky for me, you guys confirmed! Have you been? If not, let’s add it to our list of spots to try this summer.

So that’s it. What have you been up to? Any spots or things to try?
