My Favorite Products That Make My Life Easier
I'm sure you probably know from today to Friday (11th) is Prime Day. If you remember my post about how I can keep this place up and running yearly, you know unfortunately Amazon is really the only way I can make that happen since I'm considered a 'mini' blogger. My sassy thoughts doth not jibe with sponsors, my following is small (which I love actually) so Amazon affiliate links are the only way I can hit that target. I will say that due to tariff pauses expiring at the end of day today, prices could go way up tomorrow (9th) so I would encourage you to buy today even though Prime Day doesn't end until the 11th. I know I will be. I'm going to share products I love and if you check 'em out and buy them or anything on Amazon once you click through, it'll help me keep the place jumpin'. Electric Spin Scrubber I can't begin to tell you the game changer this is especially for someone who isn't a clean freak. The last thing my mind but mor...
It's not in Memphis proper (it's in Mississippi--but that's not that far off) but it's worth going to just for the stories it will generate.

In a word, it's nuts. But fun nuts. I went with my hubby and sister in-law and we still crack each other up with quotes from the curator (or favorite being "Stand back, I don't want to get you pregnant!").
That stinks that Mud Island will be closed - that was my very favorite thing in Memphis.
ReplyDeleteI don't know if you guys are museum people, but the National Civil Rights museum at the Lorraine hotel was interesting. Depressing, but interesting and definitely worthwhile.
I live only an hour from Memphis and frequently visit. You might look at the zoo or Memphis Botanical Gardens and see what special events they have during the time frame you'll be there. Both are beautiful places. Pink Palace Museum might also be something you'd like. It's geared toward children, but still neat. There's an IMAX theater inside too! Shelby Farms has an awesome drive through Christmas lights display (again depending on when you'll be there).
ReplyDeleteConsider Felicia Suzanne's for some upscale dining. She used to be Emeril Lagasse's girlfriend and has an awesome restaraunt downtown. Also, Blues City Cafe on Beale has food a million times better than BB Kings.
If you are into gambling, casinos are only about 30 minutes from Memphis in Tunica. Lots of concerts always going on there and Paula Deen has a buffet there.
You might also see what types of shows/concerts will be at the Orpheum during your stay. They've had lots of awesome Broadway productions this past year.
Thanks for the suggestions so far! Keep 'em coming!
ReplyDeleteI'm no help to you on this one, having never been there. How exciting the booth thing is! I have managed to fit into a handful but some places are still impossible for me. I'm gonna get there, though. You are SUCH an inspiration!
ReplyDeleteI'm definitely looking forward to going back and it looks like we've got some great suggestions here. Thanks everyone!
