Read MoreSpring Has Sprung, Almost.
Only in Chicago do you find people on a patio in 50 degree weather, we are so ready for some heat that we’ll do just about anything for once it feels just the slightest bit warm. What that 50 degree day means though is that soon enough it will be 70 degrees, which is followed by 80, and then we’ll be on the beach complaining that it’s too hot outside. This is why we love Chicago. Another reason we love Chicago is that we KNOW how to drink. Whether it’s day drinking, hanging out on every patio we can, or just having drinks with friends, it’s time to be the life...

Read MoreThank You
A year ago today, I took the biggest leap of faith and executed the scariest thing I never realized I would do. I launched a business. I had no preconceived notions about what would happen but I had a few hopes but only time would tell. Needless to say I am so beyond thrilled at where this has gone. So that being said, I need to say a few thank you’s because I didn’t get here alone and I certainly didn’t do this without lots of help. First, thank you to anyone reading this post, your support means the world to me and I wouldn’t be here without you. Second,...

Celebrity…when most of us think of this word, we think of people like Kim Kardashian, woof. We’re here to remind you that you’re forgetting someone!
