I really love the way the restaurant/ entertainment industry has evolved. I like to call it “Mega Restaurants.” You sit down and enjoy a delicious meal, but then you can stick around for entertainment as well. On Monday Night’s The Corner at Promontory is the place to be.

Artists Performing at The Corner I went to The Corner for the first time this pass Monday. Sam Trump was performing and DJ Kwest_on was spinning. What a great combination of performers. I had never seen Sam perform before. I would say he fits in the Soul category, but I don’t want to place him in a box. I loved he did his own music and added in a couple of songs from well known artist like John Legend. Sam has such a beautiful voice. I felt like I was getting over on the Promontory for only paying $5.00 to see such a great band perform!

Before and between sets we also got treated to the sounds of DJ Kwest_on. I’ve been a longtime fan of Kwest_on and have been to plenty of his shows. It’s good seeing him spin in different venues and settings. He always keeps us guessing.

I highly recommend checking out The Corner at The Promontory!

Want some help planning your night? Here we go…..

1) Make reservations for 5:30/6:00 to eat dinner at The Promontory. Make sure to try the Polenta Fries. There delicious!

2) 7:00pm doors open for The Corner. The venue is directly next door to the restaurant. Try to get there early to get good seating at the bar. The space is small, but excellent for the intimate vibe. Order several cocktails (don’t drink and drive), and enjoy the night.

See you at The Corner!

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! Yesterday I joined Chicago Line Cruises on their signature architecture river tour. 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
