One of my favorite things about traveling and exploring new places is discovering new cafes, shops, boutiques, and restaurants and it's honestly hilarious how excited I get because my first thought is always: "OH MY GOSH...Springfield or Jacksonville NEEDS this"! 😂

And then...I do what I do. I start researching, finding the owners, and figuring out how I can bring these amazing concepts to our communities.

The trip to Chicago (China Town) introduced us to Paris Baguette, and I was OBSESSED! 🤩 An absolutely amazing South Korean pastry and cafe company with the most incredible pastries, desserts, and drinks and let me tell you it did not disappoint! The girls were just as obsessed as I was💖

So naturally...now I'm doing my research. 🤗😏

Because who knows? Maybe the next amazing place we discover while traveling is exactly what Central Illinois has been missing!
