I'm Back!

I just realized that I have been MIA since January. How did I let that happen? Well, I'm back and ready to start blogging again about anything, everything, and sometimes nothing. So stay tuned! Anyone who visits my blog knows that I am a huge bargain shopper. Over the past four months I have accumulated a lot of great finds which I am excited to post about once I find the time to dig them up and snap a few pictures. In the meantime, I shall leave you a few pictures of the last celebration type event that has occurred: my boyfriend's birthday. We didn't do anything fancy. First, we visited a local museum that neither of has had ever been to. Then we had lunch at a beer brewery in a nearby town then came home to enjoy some sweets and wine. Later, he opened a small gift containing some products from Clinique's line for men and a gift tin of Burt's Bees chapstick. It was a gorgeous day, and it was perfect from beginning to end.

Winter in Vegas

I recently took a trip to Las Vegas with my boyfriend. We left on a Sunday and stayed three nights. I really enjoy visiting Vegas in the winter time, especially during the weekdays. The weather is usually nice, it's not too crowded, and you don't have to wait in line for anything you might want to see. In my opinion, it's so much better than visiting in the summer when it's 110 degree weather because the heat makes it miserable. Some of the highlights of the trip were sipping cocktails at the Chandelier Bar in the Cosmopolitan and the Mix Lounge in Mandalay Bay, dancing at Moon in the Palms, watching the Jabbawockeez perform at the Monte Carlo, and visiting Madame Tussauds Wax Museum in the Venetian. We were able to pack in a lot of other touristy things and a little slot machine action as well. Overall it was a very nice trip, and I miss being there already.

What do you like to do in Vegas?

Wine Tasting

I spent my Saturday at a few wineries with my boyfriend and some friends. It wasn't my first time going wine tasting, but I'm very new to it. I couldn't tell you what was good and what wasn't because I'm still trying to learn the basics. I had a great time as usual, especially since the weather was beautiful that day.
