Boston Museums

-

If you are visiting Boston and like art, history, or want some cool instagram pics, there are several museums where you can observe art and people attempting to get the good gram pic. I visited the Museum of Fine Arts (MFA), Isabella Gardner (IG), and Institute of Contemporary Art (ICA). 

The MFA had the most variety and a must for art lovers, the IG was for those who want a ig pic, and ICA is good if you can get a free Thursday night ticket and love Kusama (there is an infinity room exhibit). 


Museum of Fine Arts (MFA): The MFA is for international art aficionados, with art from all of the world and many different time periods. There are several levels featuring art from: Americas, Egypt, Greece and Rome, Asia, and Europe, Africa, etc. I spent over 2 hours and one can easily spend 3-5 hours if you want to look and read everything. Some highlights were: Chihuly tree, 


Paul Revere portrait:

Cat mummy:
Crazy to think of all the Egyptian things that are in the US now.





Van Gogh

Gaugin



Animal section of the souvenir shop


Below is most of the Turner exhibition:





















































Isabella Gardner: This is an extremely popular museum, the collection of Isabella Gardner inside a conservatory/courtyard modeled after a Venetian palace. Since I am trying to be anti-hoarder, this place gave me anxiety as it was balls-to-the-wall crowded with people and art. The courtyard does have nice IG opportunities though, and I recommend booking in advance as they sold out later in the afternoon, and buying a ticket online let me skip a 20 person line. Fun fact- if your name is Isabella, you get in for free.













Institute of Contemporary Art (ICA): If you are in Boston on a Thursday- you can get free admission for a 5-8 pm entrance time ticket, starting at 10 am that morning online. The highlight of the ICA is a Kusama infinity room "Love is Calling" with minimal wait- and it was probably my favorite art piece of the day:

Hilton Moorea – Overwater Bungalow Review

-
Image
The Hilton Moorea was one of the coolest hotel experiences in my life: staying in an overwater bungalow and sharing the turquoise ocean backyard with fish, sting rays, and sharks was incredible. While I was fortunate to be upgraded from a land bungalow, we still paid a pretty penny to stay at this property and the Hilton Aspire card helped cover several costs (breakfast, premium wifi, etc.) If you stay, I recommend having at least Hilton gold status (through Amex Platinum or other Hilton Amex card) to maximize covering costs. This Hilton is pricey and not exactly super luxurious, but being in an overwater bungalow for a few days really did feel like paradise. Rates/Booking: There are a few different categories of rooms/bungalows:         On the land – King or twin bungalow, with or without private pool (49 rooms)         Lagoon/Beachside King overwater bungalow (3) – I do not recommend booking these         King Overwater Bungalow (25)         Panoramic Overwater Bungalow (20

Like any profession, getting a job in the legal field is all about who you know and your reputation. But networking doesn't have to suck, it can be as easy as grabbing a casual cup of coffee with a fellow colleague. You never know where a simple meeting may lead you- possibly to your next job or inspiration for where to go next! One of my 30 goals before 30 was to: Set up informational interviews with an attorney/professional once a month. I actually started doing this a few months before starting my blog, and I've gotten a variety of advice and perspectives on how people have practiced law. Here is my guide on how to ask an attorney to get coffee: 1. Know why you want to talk to this person Are you looking for a new job? Looking for general advice on how who you're meeting with got to where they are? Maybe you want to be connected to someone they know? You should know your purpose and make sure it warrants a 15-30 minute conversation, time is valuable to attorneys
