Currently binging on...


You'd be surprised to know that despite my instagram posts and blog that I actually have like 3 other jobs...its exhausting!! However, when I do get down time I like to binge on Netflix and read too many books that I almost never finish until months later. Here's a list of some of the things I am currently binging on...

Reading: Self Made by Nely Galan. The title is pretty obvious as to what the book is about. There's a lot of beneficial and insightful tid bits for every BOSSBABE in this book.

Watching: Grace & Frankie on Netflix. If you haven't seen this show yet you HAVE to. It's HILARIOUS!!!! For those who have, please tell me that in some way you feel like that is going to be you and your bestie in 40 years (plus or minus the husband situation).

Listening to: Halsey. Her song was at the end of "The Huntsman" movie. I'm absolutely digging her vibe. Check her out on Amazon music (free with Prime).

Eating: vegetarian/vegan food. You'd be surprised as to how many vegetarian/vegan restaurants there are now and how DELISH the food is. One of my absolute fave places here in Las Vegas is Vegenation which can be found in the downtown area. I highly recommend checking it out if you get the chance.

Learning: to love myself. I have my "issues" or insecurities just like everyone else but I'm trying to focus more on loving myself and taking better care of me; mind, body, and soul. Reading "You Are A Badass" by Jen Sincero a while back really had a positive affect on me and I recommend that book to anyone who needs a confidence reminder.

Hearing: Nature. The wind here in Las Vegas is horrid during the Spring time. As much as it's annoying, I like at it as blowing away the old, dusty, no longer useful things and making room for new, better things...hello SUMMERRRRR!!!!

Releasing: Anger and frustration. As human beings I think that we have a difficult time of letting things go even when we know that doing so would be the best thing for us. I had some challenging events happen a few months ago and I'm learning to accept that being angry and holding on to it is only hurting me. So release it and let it go.

Embracing: change. I recently took on a new part time job, one of the 3 or 4 that I have, that will help further my career in the Fashion industry. Finally get to put that  SUPER expensive college degree to some good use!

Feeling: gratitude. Realizing that I should be, and am thankful for all of the great things that I have in my life; family, friends, material items, and my health.

Loving: discovering that if you ask for what you want, the universe will manifest it for you. But obviously not with out a little bit of work and positivity.

What are some of the things that you are currently doing? I'd love to hear about it. I'm always looking for great recommendations on books, shows, and music.

Where to Find Some of The Best Shopping in Las Vegas - Caesar's Forum Shops

I recently had the pleasure of attending a private tour of some of the best shops in The Forum Shops at Caesar's here in Las Vegas. If you have never been, I highly recommend spending a day walking through the shops, its a one of a kind experience.  Our morning started with a greeting from a Centurion serving up mimosas. What's better than a mimosa on a Saturday morning!?  The first stop was at Sephora, which is the flagship store of Las Vegas, meaning they have all the exclusive lines and products. The staff shared with us some of the best sellers of Sephora, their AMAZING fragrance area, and the hot new makeup items for Spring/Summer.  The Best Sellers of Sephora Fragrance   Can't ever go wrong with a Jo Malone  Customize your fragrance bottles Hot NEW makeup  Makeup Forever palette, Stila Glitter eyeshadow, NARS Lip Pigments, Too Faced White Peach palette   Makeup Forever eyeshadow palette Stila Glitter eyeshadows, Fenty Highl

Affordable Lingerie for Valentine's Day

If you're like me, you don't need a reason to shop for something fabulous such as lingerie. However, when the occasion presents it's self, I do love to buy lingerie. Not to mention the boyfriend ALWAYS loves it. Unfortunately, lingerie seems to cost a fortune, depending on where you buy it from. With a little time and research, I was able to track down some very sexy, high-quality, affordable lingerie for just about ANY SIZE. Sam Edelman Velvet Romper Technically not "lingerie" but it looked super cute on the model online. I thought it'd be perfect to wear around, being comfortable but still cute. I found this on sale at Nordstrom, usually $48, I got it for $28 plus tax! Victoria's Secret This is one of my favorite finds. There's something sexy about a high waist panty. I'm absolutely in love with the blush and gold. This set is perfect for date night or to wear when you want to feel a little extra sexy. To my surprise, these pie
