Wisconsin cheese + a sugar cookie? Don’t knock it till you try it.

Proudly Wisconsin Cheese put together the most unexpected pairing combos, and we picked our three favorites to test. Spoiler: all were incredible.

Metcalfe’s specialty cheese department is honestly the best place to start — the selection is unreal. Scan the QR code in the specialty cheese dept (or here in slide 8!) to see the full guide and find your next obsession.

So… which one are you trying first? 🧀🫐🍐

I found your next Wisconsin escape.


🦋

Tucked near the Wisconsin River in the Driftless Region, this beautiful getaway is designed with insane intention. Every detail seemed to invite us to slow down, be present, and reset. We absolutely had the best time during our stay. It felt like the perfect reset our nervous system needed.

Its located just outside Spring Green, so we spent the days exploring dinner spots, and the local coffee shops and nearby hikes.

It was an escape that left us feeling so inspired, grounded, and refreshed.

Post-Winter Reset 🧖🏼‍♀️


My scalp has been so dry this winter, and with postpartum hair regrowth starting, it felt like the perfect time to try Kosa Spa’s new scalp treatment.

Inspired by Ayurvedic practices, the Crown Renewal Ritual is designed to nourish the hair roots, rehydrate the scalp, and calm the nervous system. The ritual includes herbal masks, warm oil, scalp massage, and aromatherapy.
The entire Kosa environment always feels like an oasis & nervous system reset. It was the perfect post-winter, postpartum treat.
I’ve already noticed a big difference in my scalp since the treatment: it’s no longer dry and irritated and my baby hairs are growing in even faster.

You made it through another midwest winter- go treat yourself!!

February Favorites 🫧🫧

1. The Glow & Flow event with x : a mat class with a gau sha workshop by . Noone does events like Sevven..the intention & love in every detail it unmatched. It was my first gau sha experience, and Roxanna’s knowledge and magic makes everything so incredible.

2. I love everything ginger and cannot stop thinking about the ginger soda from Imaginary Factory. It’s bold, spicy, and just perfect.

3. If you’ve had the Filet-O-Fish sandwich from Harvey House, then you already know. If you haven’t… this is your sign. Incredible.

4. Saunaday is featuring visual art by Nastia Craig projected on the walls in the evenings, and it is such a beautiful sensory experience. A must see.

5. The Crown Renewal Ritual at Kosa Spa was exactly what I needed 5 months postpartum. It completely refreshed my scalp, supporting new growth, and curing the dry winter everything. More to come on this!!

6. The King Kong Roll at Jacknife. 15/10. No notes.

7. The Sleepy bath bomb from Lush. Anything in the sleepy scent is just bliss.

8. continues to be my light. Even when I can’t go often, every Lift45 class resets something in me.

9. The Classic sourdough from will forever be a favorite. (Bread and butter is my main food group right now so hear me out!!)

10. Butterbird brunch. The biscuit. The sunlight. Immediately add it to your list.
