4 years of visiting Japan on four very distinct trips 2026➡️2023. This one came with a lot of personal wins.

Our first long trip in 2024 was in mid-september and the first few days we experienced heat like never before in 100 degree heat + 100% humidity in a concrete jungle walking 20K steps a day. I think most people not used to that would struggle but for me it only highlighted how badly out of shape I was, and being 9 months into already trying to make lifestyle changes it mentally broke me. I was on the floor of the hotel room the second we got back to the room, and even broke down crying one night when we were out and about. I didn’t fit on rides at Universal Studios Osaka, and after being around theme parks for the previous 8 years never having that issue it was a tough pill to swallow.

After that trip something had to give. Within a month after our 2024 trip and seeing doctors and blood tests I was diagnosed with anxiety & PMOS (formerly PCOS) and was able to take strides to healing and becoming healthier again.

It’s been 4 years of exploring this beautiful country and culture, but we’ve also learned and connected with ourselves so much along the way. Proud to say that we are not the people we were in the previous 3 pictures as we are today.

This was a very active trip and besides being naturally tired as one would, it was night and day how I felt after the 2024 trip and to me that’s a huge win.

Tokyo dump before my sappy post later.

📍Top of the Sea Candle on Enoshima Island

#tokyojapan #japan #enoshima #tokyodisneysea #uenotokyo

Corner spot next to our hotel with heavenly coffee & toast sets.

Fell in love with the Ueno area.

Said heavenly toast.

Another view from the Sea Candle on Enoshima Island.

Lunch in Asakusa 🤤

📍Tokyo Skytree

Walking somewhere lol I forgot where but love the riverfront views.

Another view from the Tokyo Skytree.

Mirror selfie from our tiny Ueno hotel bathroom.

Streets surrounding Nakano Broadway.

Stumbled upon this unique milk stand in Akihabara Station that we had just read about - one of few left that work directly with the dairy farmers. You purchase the milk of choice (so many flavors) and have to drink it right there and return the glass bottle to the cashier to reuse!

Thunder Bird rollercoaster located in the Tokyo Dome area - we rode it and it’s not only so fun but the views are unbeatable. Sadly the ferris wheel called the Big-O was closed but it’s the world’s first centerless wheel, and we got to go right through it on the coaster.

Mini photoshoot in the streets of Nakano.

Me and my guy GusGus in Tokyo Disney Sea

Post dinner views did not disappoint from this Soba spot outside of the Disney parks.

This is the newest land in Tokyo Disney Sea called Fantasy Springs, inside you will find all kinds of characters and stories carved into these beautiful fountains. It is truly stunning and a must see on your next trip to Tokyo Disney parks.

Transgender people are real, and they deserve to live without fear. This is my story of growing up and growing more open-minded.

I was initially asked by Asia to help with filming this new event she had been working hard on. Little did I know that I would find a room full of inspiring women and learn that my, OUR, voices are so important - but using them doesn’t come easy to a lot of us.

@girlgrabthemic is THE best space to put this to practice. *Correction tickets are around $45 but $35 for early! and you get access to a curated evening lead by Asia herself who comes with years of experience in public speaking and has so many golden tips to share. Your participation is completely UP TO YOU, you only have to grab the mic if you feel empowered to (which I hope you are!)

Learn more by joining her Front Row mailing list - all event details are shared through there!

Burger Moe’s has been a DT St. Paul staple for over 10 years. We used to live in downtown St. Paul and I can confirm that there are some incredible food options that are slept on in this area and this is one of them.

They offer FREE parking (except on game days) in a dedicated lot. They have deals happening all week long like Happy Hour and $8 Burger Mondays after 3, and some incredible milkshakes where you can mix and match flavors.

The Coconut Shrimp 🥥
The midwest loves their coconut shrimp for reasons beyond me, but I am often hesitant on ordering it because I just expect it to be from a frozen bag for some reason - but these changed my mind completely. They hand bread butterfly shrimp and serve it with a perfectly complimentary pina colada dipping sauce, plus the portion is generous, we couldn’t eat them all between the two of us.

The Burgers + sides 🍔🍟
They use a fluffy and FRESH locally baked bun. These thick patties are cooked medium unless otherwise specified using 100% Angus beef that is never frozen. There’s a wide variety of burger flavors to choose from as well as sides. All burgers are served with fries, you don’t have to pay more unless you want to substitute! You can choose from sweet potato fries (my usual go-to), onion rings, tuscan fries, tuscan tots, onion rings, tater kegs, fruit cup, or a side salad.

The Shake 🍦
I got a PBJ Shake and it was a DREAM. You can actually combine two flavors but they were out of the banana. I am going to have to go back so I can get the PBJ + Banana next time.

SPECIALS TO WATCH (not available on Grand Casino Arena event days) from 3pm - close:

🍔 $8 Burger Mondays
🌮 Taco Tuesday from
🍗 Wing Wednesday
🥃 Whiskey / BBQ Thursdays
🍺 Sunday Funday, $4 pints all day
💸 DAILY Happy Hour from 3-6pm and 9pm - close (excluding Mondays when it’s only after 9pm)

This store turned into motivation for me to actually hang my shelves in my house so I can build one of these!! A friend recently brought me to this store and I had no idea I was about to find the best gift idea of the holiday season 🤩

These are the true gift of whimsey and so many of them are under the $50 price tag I was shocked! My friend purchased two items and ended up getting the custom minnesota sticker sheet and a free keychain, which i’m sure is limited so check it out soon!
