Maui Scenery

In case you didn't know, Hawaii is gorgeous

I'm sad to be home because that means leaving family members and of course, the beach. I loved my time there, I can't wait to share more photos!

Las Vegas Recap

Is this blog still active? Yes, it is! I'm so sorry to disappoint anyone that's been checking, I know I normally post more than this I've just been working out a few kinks.

Packing and shopping for Las Vegas was surprisingly stressful because for some reason I thought everyone was going to be judging me. Turns out, everyone was drunk and no one even noticed if I looked nice or not!

 Delicious spaghetti from Lavo's, the new nightclub/ restaurant in the Venetian. Didn't attend the club, but the meatball spaghetti was delicious! (I'd say $$$ out of $$$$)

 This is me and Antoinette with the bartender/ hostess/ owner of The Laundry Room, a speakeasy. Wonderful history and experience there. If you can manage to find out how to get a reservation, I would highly recommend going here next time you're in vegas! (no photos, phones, or guidos allowed.)

From our plane! I still hold a soft spot for Arizona because of my childhood. This made me feel really nostalgic.

 So, the self tanner worked for me a little bit. But it had no holding power AT all. I had to return it to Nordstrom's even though I felt horrible doing it, I just couldn't justify spending that much money for a product that couldn't last overnight. Not my favorite, sorry for anyone who is a die hard fan of it! (This is Annie, Antoinette, me, and Caroline prior to our first night out)

The view from the Mandarin Bar, highly recommend for wonderful views of Las Vegas. 

 Everyone is talking about this nightclub Hakasan. But let me tell you, myself and so many others had a horrible experience. They treat their clientele like trash because they're popular at the moment. There is no where to sit, and for standing in line for 3.5 hours (they won't let you sit in line either) you can bet every girl in line was too tired to party. Calvin Harris was awesome but every other aspect of that place was horrible. I'll do a yelp review, you can get the details there.

I'm leaving for Maui tomorrow, there will be so much to talk about there and so so so many photos. Can't wait, hope everyone is having a great week, get pumped for the weekend!

Update on the Self-Tanning!

OK last I think everyone saw, I was going to try out a self-tanner. Bear in mind I've never done this before and it's actually a terrifying prospect for a redhead.

One week ago I tried it out and it was super splotchy, but I think that was my fault because I didn't really blend it well.

Last night I tried it again for the trip and basically thought to myself, "if this is bad again, I think I'll have to return these products because that last experience sucked." Well, I woke up this morning to find that I wasn't even that tan! My body is kind of tanner, but my face looks pretty light. I'm kind of disappointed in Clarins. I spent a good chunk of money on these products and the reviews all touted the perfect summer glow but it seems like a lot of hassle for three days, and isn't seamless enough for me. I doubt I'll ever do it again.

Sorry for the lack of photo updates, I'm kind of without a high quality camera right now. But plenty of vacation photos coming up! I'm flying out to Vegas this afternoon so get ready for some wild photos. The makeup will be out of control!
