Bachelorette parties happen all over the world. Whether you’re taking flight overseas, driving across the country or staying put in your home state…there are plenty of different experiences to take in.

Being a Michigan native, I’m all about celebrating the bride-to-be in our beautiful state. With two peninsulas, four seasons, a variety of terrain and enclosure from 4 out of the 5 great lakes…Michigan offers it all.

Michigan’s east side offers a great bar and shopping scene. More the relaxed type? Take her up north where you’ll find some of the most beautiful lakes. If she’s not on either end of the spectrum, visit western Michigan, where you’ll find a perfect combination of the two.

East Michigan
Take your bride to the east side of the state and plan the perfect day (or weekend) full of memories. Home to historic theatres, delicious eateries and some of the state’s best shopping destinations…your bride will have plenty of attractions to choose from. Explore Somerset Collection or Twelve Oaks if she’s into the shopping scene. Hop on a party bus or pedal your way through downtown in the Detroit Cycle Pub. Visit the Ann Arbor Art Fair and experience the city’s thriving dining scene. East Michigan has a lot to offer for all types of brides.

Popular Cities: Detroit, Royal Oak, Ann Arbor

Northern Michigan
Northern Michigan is a perfect destination for brides looking for a relaxing weekend away. Escape the city and hangout on the lake for the day. A few of the most popular are Elk Lake, Glen Lake, Lake Charlevoix and Walloon Lake. At night, head to Traverse City and try out a few well-known breweries: North Peak, Right Brain, The Workshop. Prefer wine? The city offers a variety of tours on both the Leelanau and Old Mission Peninsulas. Additional attractions up north include Sleeping Bear Dunes, M-119’s Tunnel of Trees, Historic Fishtown and the Cherry Bowl Drive-In Theatre.
Popular Cities: Traverse City, Charlevoix, Petoskey

West Michigan
Head on over to the west side of the state and explore everything it has to offer. If your bride is looking for a city that has a lot going on – west Michigan is your spot. From ArtPrize in Grand Rapids to the Tulip Time Festival in Holland, there are a variety of events constantly taking place no matter which season. If you’re looking for a more relaxed staycation, head even further west and you’ll find yourself at Lake Michigan. Rent a cozy cottage on Airbnb or HomeAway and spend your weekend soaking up the sun. West Michigan is the perfect combination of laid back and on the go – see for yourself!
Popular Cities: Grand Rapids, Muskegon, Grand Haven, Holland

There are plenty of attractions Michigan has to offer when it comes to celebrating your bride-to-be. I guarantee you can find a town fit for what she’s looking for – beaches, spas, nightlife, wine and brewery tours, festivals, even historic hot spots. Michigan is a beautiful place to be and an even more beautiful place to celebrate.

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
