I’M IN ENERGY-SAVING MODE RN
OOOOOOOO man, I feel like I can safely say I made the MOST of Shot Girl Summer 2021. From filming a TV show pilot, to traveling throughout Europe for nearly a month & wrapping up hosting a 3-day travel conference as the “Chief Fun Officer” - let me just say that I feel like I FULLY made up for last summer’s lack of work/travel plans. Does anyone else feel SO exhausted after being around humans for extended periods of time now?! Or just me??
NEEDLESS TO SAY… MAMA NEEDS A NAP {or twenty} LOL
It’s crazy to admit as someone who LOVES travel, but I’m actually kind of excited that aside from one short {and very fall focused} trip next month, I’ll mostly be home & spending all my waking hours working on my 2022 Gals Abroad Group Trips & gearing up for a month-long work trip to Palm Springs in October {eeeeekkk}.
I know I’ve said this a bunch already but I’m BEYOND grateful to see my hosting work FINALLY start to return. And I can’t wait to once again work with two of my FAVORITE / OG clients in Palm Springs in October {more on that soon}.
Until then, I’m planning to really soak up all things Chicago this next month and immediately trade in my bathing suits for fall boots and sweater weather lol.

Friends - I’m so excited to share the first video that Linda and I shot in Budapest & on the AmaMagna with the insanely talented Wilbert Cheng last month!! It made it’s debut at ASTA’s Global Convention this week in front of hundreds of travel professionals but I’m even more excited to share it with you!
This video was a culmination of weeks of hard work, LONG shoot days and honestly a lot of unknowns with the current state of travel right now. BUT I am BEYOND proud of how it turned out and even more honored that I had Linda by my side. Check it out and cheers to more work like this very soon ;)

50+ BEST CHICAGO PATIOS - if you’re anything like me you’re trying to soak up every last bit of summer that you can {even though it’s been disgustingly humid out as of late} Regardless, I loved that fellow Chicago gal Jess Keys put together a list of the 50 best Chicago patios according to her readers!
How to Combat the End of Summer Slump - a great bit of advice for anyone feeling the August blues
CURRENTLY OBSESSING OVER
AT HOME COVID TESTS - Listen…I feel like COVID is gonna be a reality we have to figure out how to live with for, well…a while. And when it comes to returning home to the US from abroad, finding a COVID test can sometimes be a hassle. So Linda and I used these Abbott’s BinaxNOW™ COVID-19 Ag At-Home Test Kits before coming home from Paris and couldn’t have had an easier & seamless experience. These are one of the few (if only) self test kits approved for travel home & it literally takes less than 30 min to complete. They come in packs of 6 for $150 and you can share them with 2 other people.
HAPPY ENDING (AKA SOMETHING I FOUND FUNNY THIS WEEK)
