Swirl. Wait. Watch as your eyes peer inside a snow globe. A little escape, captured in the circumference of that sphere.
...
This adventure whisked me away to the inside of a life size globe where hustle and bustle are reversed for the season, inside-out.
Energy and excitement swirl around you, instead of inside you. Imagine stepping into your little dome of calm; perched rooftop over Downtown Springfield, MO.

If I'm missing in the next snow fall, you'll find me napping inside my own little winter wonderland (aka #igloo) at Vantage. #sleepinfluencer
There are 3 heated domes to enjoy! While not technically staged for napping, I took my liberties.

A destination on my 417 list for Christmas, was Vantage, a rooftop lounge and conservatoty. www.rooftopvantage.com But hurry, due to the popularity of this warm, unique and glowing destination located in Springfield, MO, a reservation requirement may soon be needed! As of today, I was welcome to enter the igloos anytime after 4pm, Tuesday - Saturday. I did request permission from the bar to enter the igloo and was politely informed, “Absolutely! We request if more than 3 are occupying an igloo, ask for permission to join.“
Perfect! Asking is (spoiler alert) my specialty!
I believe you don’t get anything in life unless you ask for it, and I am not afraid to ask. The most delightful company was inside and we engaged in a conversation about, you guessed it....sleep. #sleepinfluencer
...
The architecture within the sphere reminded me of the Japanese word “ikigai”.
Finding my little niche as a Sleep Influencer is how I would describe my personal “ikigai”. This rooftop igloo stood as a reminder of my passion.

Adjacent and connected by a short stroll across bricked pavers, is the swanky Vandivort Hotel. I didn’t stay overnight in this posh, urban destination but it is next on the list. The mattresses are brand new at the V2 tower of Hotel Vandivort and super comfy! Your sleep experience will be 5 star. The room I toured was a spacious studio with bedding to fall in love with! If you love the pillows or the comforter or anything in the room, Vandivort Hotel will find the information for you to purchase the item. That's my favorite way of shopping for any item - find what you like through personal experience! The perfect blackout shades ease your wake up to brunch, and the adventure continues.
Vandivort Hotel www.hotelvandivort.com is 5 years established in the heart of downtown Springfield, MO. With perfectly appointed industrial decor; the deep notes of charcoal and wood brilliantly accent the vibe of this hotel. Cool and confident smiles adorn an obvious passion from staff and guests alike. Tucker Rogers, Director of Housekeeping, gave me this tour. Every staff member I encountered offered a smile and a conversation to brighten my day. (For clarification, I am not endorsed by, nor is this post sponsored. I simply enjoy encouraging awareness of businesses ”who do it right”! #togetherweallwin )

Sight. Smell. Touch all the layers of this classy hotel. Book you group meeting, private party, wedding or simply a night out to dinner and enjoy delectable eats and drinks at The Order. www.theordersgf.com This destination has it all! Friend and #herohubs booked a private birthday party several years in a row here for me! The memories are perfect.
...
Enjoy this 417 destination alone or share with others in your vibe. After my tour, I returned to enjoy the sunset. #happyplace

NOTE: There is a real thing here called the #vandivortselfie Follow the stairs down to the bathroom 🚽 (I know, interesting, right?). I can't really explain it, you'll just have to check out the adventure for yourself!
Ps. After quick research, I found there are limited rooftop bars with igloos in the US. https://www.dailybreak.com/break/rooftop-bars-with-igloos-list
Is that my next home project? A backyard igloo over my fire pit? I looked up the supplier of the igloo here https://gardenigloousa.com
