My favorite food, shops, and activities in the Quad Cities area from a girl in her 20s who has lived here forever

For me this was the trip of a lifetime! Happy to share my thoughts on the once in a lifetime trip I took.

I love a good leather shoe, and I want to own ones that become old friends over time. Finding timeless leather shoes shouldn't have to be a pain, but it's hard to know which brands are genuine and here to stay. I've sorted through and tried out many over the years, and here is the short list of my favorites that you can build out a full closet with. My selections aren't the fanciest nor are they particularly affordable up front, but they are solid quality that you can count on for a long life. You can often find them discounted during sales season (e.g. Black Friday). I've also included a shoe care guide and matching belts list.

Don't laugh. I ain't telling no whoppers here. 🙂 I “reely” have fished … and quite recently, too. Both from the shore and on boats, and I've caught fish (pink salmon, rainbow trout, ling cod), too. No, I have never reeled in boots or empty bottles. 🙂Note: This list may contain affiliate links, which means that I may receive a commission (at no charge to you) if you make a purchase using these links.

I'd like to show you some stuffs I got in my bag and you NEED to also have them. These include essentials,beauty must-have and a couple of extras. Welcome to the club.

Being born and raised in Durham, Canada, I’ve tried dozens of different spots and these are my top picks.

The finger lakes region of New York has some of the best gorge hikes and waterfall views in the country (in my opinion). It also has tons of cute book stores, restaurants, and museums.

With the cold season approaching, it’s about time to find some new clothes for your children! I’m always looking for comfortable but stylish clothes. These are my favorite pieces.

My books are like dear old friends. They accumulate though and there are only so many places to put them in our home. But you know I need more because who doesn’t need more dear old friends. So this list is a guide to finding all the charming bookshops to get lost in and accumulate more books in Northern Virginia.

I’ve been grateful enough to visit Disney World a few times so here are some of the foods I’ve tried! A lot of these items are a Disney Foodie staple! I’ve searched many blogs, TikTok’s & facebook groups to curate a list of must trys! I still have more foods I’ll like to try. Disney is constantly growing and adding new items, so this list will be updated here and there! Im a big foodie, I like trying out new things. I live in Chicago, a place where I like to think has the best food & a diverse community that allows to show off their culture through food as well. I’m open to trying anything out & only recommend what I think is worth buying.

You know how when you walk past flowers or a restaurant that smells good, you tend to always remember it or more inclined to stop and go.

I went to my first Broadway show when I was 13 and never looked back! It was Mamma Mia, but since then I've become a true fan and have also attended Chicago, Hamilton, Kinky Boots, Hadestown and Aladdin, among many others. I’ve also studied theater for two years and I’m eager to see as many shows as I can. Here are my top recs for anyone who's in New York or planning a trip soon!

Listen I’m not your typical paranormal fan. I don’t believe in demons, or that ouija board invite in spirits. I don’t think Bigfoot is a flesh & blood creature. I don’t think you should yell at ghosts. And I know dybbuk boxes are fake and made with ramen & glade candles … no really it was! So if you’re open to hearing new thoughts and theories this is your list! These are some of my most trusted paranormal folks who won’t BS you. These are in no particular order other than how they popped in my head. Have a podcast you love? Share it with me!
