WOMANISH IS a pop up by two young African American woman located downtown of Chicago.
This place is aesthetically pleasing if you’re into art, female empowerment, selfies, and hanging with your girl gang.
If you own a brand that caters to women it’s also the perfect place for a brand shoot. Just snatch up a friend and let them take pics while you pose throughout five levels of visuals within 45 minutes at the price of $45 per ticket (fees included).

The first time I came here was summer of last year. I took pics while my girls wore tees from the girlandgoals shop. Every now and then I’ll post this content on instagram or use them for video edits. You may have seen some of these pics already.
This time I attended with my fam for my niece’s 18th birthday. Because I knew how hectic it could get trying to take one another’s pics I asked my nephew, who is also a photographer to take photos for us. Once again, I also wanted to use these pics for G&G content.
SUGGESTIONS WHEN VISITING SELFIE MUSUEMS
If it’s warm enough for you to go without a coat, leave it. Taking a big purse may be too much also, so a coin purse or waist bag will do. This will help you save time and take as many pics as you want without having to carry and find a spot to drop your items each time you’re ready to pose.
For the best pics, choose your favorite parts of the exhibit you know you want to pose in before you go by looking on the Womanish Instagram page. You’ll get more out of the exhibit and your time by having a plan before going.

Brunch Life at Virtue Restaurant
When we arrived they tested our temperature. We were not allowed inside without a mask on. There’s also outdoor seating as well, but this day was the first hottest day of the year and we chose to be inside under the AC ☺️. Inside, tables were spread apart, every employee had on a mask and the waiters had on gloves as well. When our waitress used our phone to take a picture of our group, she immediately put on another pair of gloves before serving us.
Friends ordered the Half Chicken, Beef Short Ribs, Salmon, and Shrimp.
I’d definitely return back to this restaurant again and would refer it to others. The atmosphere and customer service were both perfect.
Sunday Brunch Mesler Kitchen Chicago
Mesler for brunch in Hyde Park, Chicago.
The place was beautiful with charming lighting and art on every wall.
I think we chose a perfect day to come. It wasn’t crowded at all which made it even more intimate. EMPTY SPACES MEANS EVEN BETTER CONTENT FOR ME. Perhaps people MAY BE enjoying their holiday at home, are still on vacation or maybe the restaurant is still a hidden gem, I’m not sure.
Our most favorite meals were the Shrimp and Grits and the Chicken and Pearl Sugar Waffles of course I ordered the waffles. We ordered a round of mimosas and then surprised our girl Porsha with birthday gifts.
