Our travel has been limited since Italy because of Our travel has been limited since Italy because of this lil girl, who is growing our family to three! 💕 We cannot wait to meet her so soon!!!

First trimester was tough, so there was no signing me up for a long plane or car ride. Second trimester was filled with weddings and quick weekend trips. And third trimester consisted of a (sports injury caused) surgery for Matt, so we proactively planned to start nesting. 

So I’m beyond ready to show this lil lady our world of travel!! ✈️ The plan with baby for 2023 is Florida, Colorado, California & Portugal?! with sprinkled in adult trips to Scottsdale & Cabo!

In the meantime, you will continue to mostly see Chicago content. I’m still here for custom itinerary creation and available to answer questions about any of the free trips on Coffee to Cork.

Thanks for understanding my recent hiatus & we’ll be back to our “regular” scheduled programming next year + one! 🍼🥂

You already know I LOVE my @you.are.legendary nail You already know I LOVE my @you.are.legendary nails but they also do skin and lash!

Skincare has launched in the West Loop location, and @slkskin.x.sadie is awesome!! I needed some skin attention since my regular gal is on maternity leave and, wow, I had a great experience! This is a quick and effective solution for skin care. We did the signature facial with an add-on LED light. So relaxing and my face feels so refreshed! 

Next time I need to try this Hydrafacial I keep hearing about, especially with it basically being winter already. Plus their Hydrafacial price is the lowest in Chicago, compared to medspas and plastic surgery offices. Sign me up! Legendary believes in high quality services and products with results but keeping price attainable so we can tend to our skin more regularly. Blesss 🙌 

PSA: a new location in Wicker Park is opening soon too!
