February is always such a whirlwind. In some aspects, I like that it's a short month because it signifies the end of what usually is a long winter. On the other hand, everything feels rushed. So, today, I am taking a moment to stop and smell the roses sharing my favorite moments from the month. A ton of QT with our little family and some welcome mail surprises. All in all, not a bad month…filled with color, of course. I think that's the Chicagoan in me - always seeking color on the grayest of days!

September depicted via Instagram.

September came and went in a flash but there were many memorable moments. It also marks my husband's birthday, a new school year and a change in seasons. Truly my favorite time of year, this month was chockfull of memorable moments and events.

Water therapy @ Kohler Waters Spa in Burr Ridge!

Kohler Spa is synonymous with luxury. The best of the best. I've had the pleasure of visiting The American Club in WI for a weekend but never before did I know that luxury was only a short 30-minute drive from my home sans overnight stay.

If you haven't visited the Kohler Waters Spa in Burr Ridge - you're missing out! Located in the Burr Ridge Village Center you can find the spa nestled in the middle between high end shopping, dining, movies and more. One could easily make a day of this destination and come home fully rested and rejuvenated.

Fearless Friday: Creating a Visual Experience.

It's no secret that much of how we consume information is through strong visuals. As they say, "a picture can speak a thousand words" and never were those words truer in a culture of Instagram, YouTube, Snapchat and the like. And thank goodness for this trend or I'd be outta a job!

Beauty 411: Beauty Bonanza!

It has been ages since I've written a Beauty 411. The truth is...I receive a shit load of beauty products (of which I am very grateful for) and it takes awhile for me to review, test, sniff and trial each product several times. Many do not make the cut and it has nothing to do with price tags. I assure you.

May is always such a crazy month. Sometimes I am relieved to turn the calendar to June but it really is the official kick off to Summer which means I should appreciate the turn of events and weather, right? Right!

Fearless Friday: Jamie Kern Lima

I've always been a lover of cosmetics. And the way they smell. Is that weird? Probably...don't answer that! I have to tell you that since becoming a mom, I've been on the quest to find the PERFECT concealer, which: is a problem that has since been solved thanks to IT Cosmetics. Highly recommend you getting your hands on some, stat!

It's hard to believe December was the last time I did one of these. Time flies.

I chose to revisit this theme after a particularly melancholy week. Turns out February was more vibrant than I had remembered. Well, there was Austin. Hard to avoid color in that great city!
