Memorial Day weekend is coming up and what better Memorial Day weekend is coming up and what better way to kick off summer than… on a BOAT!

We did a 90 minute cruise down the river as our expert guide discussed the history, impact, and legacy of Chicago’s renowned architecture. 𝑨𝑵𝑫 on Thursdays they’ll be hosting wine and whisky tastings. Congrats to 40 years on the historic Ogden Strip! Get your tickets TODAY!

I slept in a treehouse last night and what an adve I slept in a treehouse last night and what an adventure! @Kalahariresortswisconsindells unveiled a collection of luxury Treehouses created in partnership with Pete Nelson of @NelsonTreehouse, widely known as the host of Animal Planet’s 𝑻𝒓𝒆𝒆𝒉𝒐𝒖𝒔𝒆 𝑴𝒂𝒔𝒕𝒆𝒓𝒔. 

I attended an intimate media preview. Pete Nelson and Todd Nelson, founder of @Kalahariresorts, shared the inspiration, craftsmanship, and vision behind the Treehouses on our guided tour. The treehouses provide an elevated escape. They’re a nature-forward expansion celebrating the beauty of the Dells and the magic of living among the trees. Also onsite is a relaxing pool and hot tub.

The evening concluded with a beautiful experience on the shores of Lake Delton. We had an amazing dinner at the brand New restaurant @Daylenessupperclub. Such cozy vibes, delicious food, and tasty cocktails. 𝙄𝙩’𝙨 𝙩𝙞𝙢𝙚 𝙩𝙤 𝙥𝙡𝙖𝙣 𝙔𝙊𝙐𝙍 𝙩𝙧𝙚𝙚𝙝𝙤𝙪𝙨𝙚 𝙨𝙩𝙖𝙮!

I had one of the BEST spa experiences at Wind Cree I had one of the BEST spa experiences at Wind Creek Southland Spa. 😌

@Wcsouthlandspa is 11,000+ square feet and overlooks the Chicago skyline. The peaceful retreat is guided by a deep commitment to holistic wellness and relaxation. I started off in the heated jacuzzi whirl pool and then had a a rejuvenating facial. My skin was glowing immediately! My friend decided to do a cupping massage for the first time and she could feel the detoxification running through her body. 

Afterwards we both enjoyed the sauna and relaxed with some refreshing fruit infused water while overlooking the skyline. It was the perfect Sunday Funday. Check them out! 📍17300 S Halsted St, Hazel Crest, IL located inside @Wcsouthland
