The Dana Hotel and Spa invited me to go "glamping" on Monday. Sounds right up my alley. Anytime I can sit in a tent, don heels and sip white wine...it's a win/win. Plus, I was accompanied by some of my favorite, local bloggers.

My date, Jen, accompanied me to a mixology class led by Chef Tony Priolo (of Chicago’s Piccolo Sogno) followed by a four-course dinner and cocktail hour at Chicago's gorgeous A New Leaf.

Read MoreAnother birthday came and went - I knew something had to change. It's been 30 days since I decided to get real serious about my health. Since starting my own business, I feel...well, depleted. In the best way possible, though!
Read MoreLast week I had the absolute pleasure in co-hosting a media event with my pal, Alison of Sassy Moms in the City, and a very special brand - Marley Coffee. It was the right fit from the start given my daily caffeine consumption. I completely respect a brand that not only has heritage but has introduced the EcoCup capsule which is a green alternative to the K-Cup you're used to seeing on the shelves.
Marley Coffee was founded by son of Bob Marley, Rohan Marley, in 1999. The farm is located in the Jamaica Blue Mountains and the goal was simple: support local farmers, the economy and the environment.
I suppose I could always be a little more eco-conscious, however it's the small things that create maximum impact, right? Well, here's a scary fact - over 10 billion single cup capsules are consumed and go into landfills annually. That's just for North America which is enough to circle the earth 12 times!
Read MorePlaying dress up is where it all began for me. My love for fashion. It's that sense of escape and the ability to transform into something extraordinary that made fashion so fun and exciting. Still does to this day. While I do not work in the industry; I have a huge appreciation for the creative process and today's designers. NYFW continues to be a thrilling experience to this day.
