Heroes and Villains: The Art of the Disney Costume
I recently had the opportunity to go to the Heroes and Villains: The Art of the Disney Costume exhibit at the Birmingham Museum of Art and when I say it exceeded all my expectations, that’s an understatement! The Birmingham Museum of Art is free and you can see all their African, Asian, and European Art, as well as their extensive Wedgewood China collection. However, the Disney exhibit costs $30 per adult and $20 for children ages 4-17 (3 and under is free). Note that the exhibition runs through August 18, 2024, so if you want to go, don’t wait! After we purchased our tickets, we were given wristbands and Costume…

48 Hours in Las Vegas: What I spent
Two friends and I recently spent 48 hours in Las Vegas to see the Dita Las Vegas, the Dita Von Teese show currently running at the Horseshoe Las Vegas. To keep it more affordable I used a mix of points and cash. Here’s what I spent (and the new points I accrued) during that whirlwind trip. Airfare Hotel Dita Las Vegas Tickets Food Tattoo Total Spent for 48 hours in Las Vegas $830.50 (plus 15k United Miles) Could I have done it cheaper? Absolutely! There are more affordable hotels and cheaper dining options available and we could have chosen regular seats as opposed to a table for Dita Las Vegas.…

Best Foods in Las Vegas
Gambling isn’t my thing, so I go to Las Vegas to eat (and see shows). Here are my picks for some of the best foods in Las Vegas from my recent girl’s trip where I spent 48 hours in Las Vegas! Located in the Arts District of Las Vegas, Esther’s Kitchen was truly a highlight of our trip and tops my list of best foods in Las Vegas! The popular restaurant recently moved to a new spot that’s just around the corner from their old space and the new space is warm and inviting. We had a Wednesday night reservation and despite arriving almost 15 minutes early, we were seated quickly. We…

Eclipse 2024
I’m going to be honest: I did zero planning for the eclipse. Well, aside from the playlist I made. Thankfully my friend Kate rented an amazing AirBNB in Jonesboro, Arkansas, directly in the path of totality. So two not-so-quick flights from Orlando later (the joys of an eclipse falling at the end of Spring Break), she picked me up in Memphis and we made the hour-long drive to Jonesboro. In addition to making all the plans, Kate also made eclipse cookies and bought MoonPies. She’s the best! Right around noon, we planted ourselves outside on the porch overlooking this beautiful view. As we got closer to totality we moved to…
