Another fun night at the @foxtheatrestl 👏🏻 Went to see “Death Becomes Her” and it was SO good! The costumes, the performances, the humor… everything was truly entertaining! Definitely one to add to your list if you love a good musical with a little drama and lots of laughs 😉 It is playing at The Fabulous Fox through October 25 and I definitely recommend checking it out! #foxpartner #stlouis #stlouisevents #stlevents #stlouisthingstodo taken in St. Louis, Missouri by @livetrulybien

Back at the place where we found Annie and Frankie @apa_of_mo 🐾 This time I got to meet some of the wonderful adoptable dogs looking for a family of their own 🫶🏻 I am partnering with @barktobanpuppymills to encourage people to skip the pet store and adopt from a shelter instead 👏🏻 If you have been thinking about adding a pet to your family adoption fees will be waived during these two weekends 👇🏻

✨ October 17–18 at APA Brentwood
📍 1705 S Hanley Road

✨ October 24–25 at St. Louis County Animal Shelter
📍 10521 Baur Boulevard

Visit either location to meet the dogs… you might find your new best friend! More information at barktobanpuppymills.com 🫡 taken in St. Louis, Missouri by @livetrulybien

A little trip to Alton for a taste of what is next for @heaterz_chicken 😉 Flock Food Truck Park @flock.alton is wrapping up its final Fall and Holiday season and I stopped by to celebrate Laura Windisch and her team, sample seasonal drinks and grab some bites from Heaterz and @byrdiesfoodtruck 🤤 Next spring this spot begins its next chapter as Heaterz on the Riverfront 👏🏻 With food, family activities and more in the plans I am truly excited to see this spot come together!

📍210 Ridge Street, Alton IL

#SecretDeoPartner Holiday plans are always fun… getting out the door is another story 😜 I have been loving the Berry Bright scent of Secret Berry Bright Underarm Spray @secretdeodorant 👌🏻 Taking a second to enjoy it before heading out made the whole getting-ready rush feel a little less hectic! You can find it at Walmart #AllDayFreshness #HolidayPartyPrep by @livetrulybien

A look at my microneedling appointment at @aurora_medspa and the week after 🫶🏻 I found the appointment easy to get through with minimal downtime for me, and loved how glowy my skin looked after one week ✨ But full results may take around 3 months 👏🏻

My first video in Spanish! 🇪🇨 And I had to make it a recap of the Greater St. Louis Hispanic Festival @hispanic_festival_stl 🫶🏻 A weekend of music, dancing, delicious food and celebrating Hispanic culture right here in St. Louis 👏🏻 Seeing Soulard Park @soulardstlouis filled with so many people sharing their traditions and reviewing food made this one extra special to film 🥰 @ecuadorianstl

The 2026-2027 Broadway Season at @foxtheatrestl is here and we kicked it off with CLUE @clueontour 🔎 It was so fun seeing the characters and rooms from the board game come to life 👏🏻 The show is funny, moves quickly and had me guessing who did it the whole time 🤯 It is also only 90 minutes with no intermission which makes it an easy weeknight/weekend plan! If you are looking for something to do in St. Louis… it is at the Fox through October 4! Just do not let anyone tell you who did it before you go 😉 (foxpartner) #stl #stlouis #stlouisevents #thingstodoinstlouis taken in St. Louis, Missouri by @livetrulybien
