๐ŸฅกTao is a solid option for Chicago Restaurant Week โœจgoing on now through February 8th.

They have of veg option on their CRW menu - with a veggie egg roll, a really good pad thai with tofu and vegetables and desserts that are unique, fun, and actually delicious.

A great pick if you want variety and a lively downtown vibe! Great for a girls night or even a date night.

๐Ÿง‹the perfect neighborhood to explore if youโ€™re in Chicago!

How to spend the day in Uptown:
๐Ÿš‡Take the Red Line to Argyle
โ˜•๏ธ Start your morning with coffee at Haibayรด - their iced Vietnamese coffee was fantastic!
๐ŸŒฟPop into Qideas plant shop nearby and check out their selection of plants and immigrant owned products
๐ŸงธHead to MINISO for toys + little finds
๐Ÿ‘—Check out the Chicago Fair Trade Museum
๐Ÿ‘œBrowse vintage at Aquarius Thrift Store
๐ŸœHave dinner at Hai Yen (they have so many delicious veg options)

Uptown is such a beautiful, immigrant-led neighborhood with so much heart, history, and incredible food. Even when itโ€™s cold outside, this area is absolutely worth visiting โ€” slow walks, warm meals, and so much culture packed into just a few blocks.

Thanks for having me!! ๐Ÿซถ๐Ÿฝ

Lake Como is top 5 in all of my favorite travel destinations. Such a beautiful placeโœจ

We stayed in Menaggio and absolutely loved it.

๐ŸซงMoving is stressful โ€” but the move-out clean doesnโ€™t have to be!

We used here in Chicago and Iโ€™m honestly always blown away by their attention to detail. We have used them before for deep cleans too. Every corner, surface and little forgotten spot was spotless. They left the place in such great shape that I felt completely confident handing the keys back.

If youโ€™re moving, renting, or just want your space to feel brand new again, this is the kind of clean that gives instant peace of mind. Highly recommend ๐Ÿงผ๐Ÿค

Check them out!

#ad need a post-holiday reset? hereโ€™s how to make it luxe ๐Ÿง–๐Ÿฝโ€โ™€๏ธโœจ

If youโ€™re in need of post-holiday self care in Chicago like I was, this is for you! After a very busy holiday season of hosting and cooking, I was craving a true reset.

Spending the day unwinding at the Intercontinental Spa on Mag Mile - with a facial, massage and all-day access to the fitness center, pool, and saunaโ€”was exactly what I needed. It was calm, elevated and everything post-holiday self-care should feel like.

The best part? I booked it at a discount on Groupon, so this level of relaxation actually feels doable without breaking the bank! They have so many great deals, and I highly recommend checking them out and booking an experience for you, or you and a loved one, to reset and recharge.

Use the link in my bio to book a discounted experience and treat yourself the right way this 2026 season!

Self care is on with โœจ

๐Ÿnew restaurant in Chicago!

Checked out this new spot and loved the vibes. Perfect for a cozy date night, especially in this cold!
For vegetarians: the vegetable salad, arancini, rigatoni alla vodka and margherita pizza are very good and worth a try. And, donโ€™t skip dessert because the pistachio cheesecake is a must.

Send this to someone you want to go with and check it out! Also, mention DolceNikki for 15% off your order now through end of Jan!

๐ŸŽ„this holiday drop is totally worth adding to your list, especially if youโ€™re a peppermint lover!

The dark chocolate peppermint cookie and the peppermint mocha at were both so delicious. I actually loved that the peppermint mocha wasnโ€™t too sweet, the flavors were so well balanced. Here for a limited time only!

Check it out this holiday season at a Levain near you and send to someone you think would love this.
