Link Love, Vol. 48

Food for thought this Friday morning: Isn’t it weird how nothing seems to change day-by-day; but when you look back, everything is different?

That may be my jetlag talking, but whaaaatever. On with today’s post… But first, let’s get our coffee.

//

New York welcomed me home last night with a most stunning view — we flew directly over the city during sunset.

My week in Chicago was wonderful. I spent most of it wandering around the city, riding at SoulCycle (the Old Town studio just celebrated its one-month anniversary!) and picking up where I left off with old friends. In sum: Lots of sweating — and in return, lots and lots of carbloading, boozing and the like.

Also, my new favorite thing is Nitro coffee — which looks like Guinness but is actually jet fuel. (Not really, but kind of. Let’s just say it gets the job done!) To my Chicagoans, get thee to Beatrix and see for yourself!

If you haven’t taken a little digital detox in awhile, I’d highly recommend indulging yourself. (Spoiler alert: Nothing will happen if you stay away from social media for a few days!)

On to this week’s link round-up — of which I’m a huge fan of today.
