Las Vegas

Hello Honey Darling Dears!

This past weekend, my amazing group of friends and I went to Las Vegas for a much needed vacation.  I haven't been on a friendcation since...ummm maybe I really don't even remember.

We left on Thursday AM and arrived around 2pm Vegas time.  We got to our hotel and of course got lost trying to find our room.  That Caesar's Palace is no joke.  With the help of a security guard we found our room.  We all changed and hit the streets.  One thing I'm so happy about is that I brought sneakers because it felt like we walked for hours everyday.  It was my first time in Vegas so I loved walking around and seeing all hotels and the glorious decorations inside.  I was a big fan of the Bellagio.

We also went to Serendipity and got Frozen Hot Chocolate.  I have heard of this place (they have one in DC) but had never been.  I have heard so much hype about it and I was starting to worry that I was hyping it up too much myself....well let me tell you, I was NOT disappointed.  This was a heavenly delight.  So rich and just plain yummy.

Night 1: Twin Peaks for dinner, Gillies

This is what we wore to the redneck bar
On our way to Gillies, our cab driver seemed horrified that we were going there.  He told us we were too classy for a place like that.  We told him no, that is actually our kind of place.  He was very confused by us and concerned for us.

 

Night 2: Britney Concert, various bars and Margaritaville

April Favorite Things


Hello Honey Darling Dears!




NYX Wonder Pencil

I picked this up on a whim.  You can use this for all sorts of stuff.  You can use it as a concealer, line around your lips to keep lipstick in place, eye liner, spot treatment etc.  I am really enjoying this product and I imagine that it would be great to traveling so that you don't have to bring so many products.



Blush: Revlon

I am so over the bronzing/nude/monochromatic color look.  Add some color to your face!  Blush and lipstick and give you such a nice color pop and look so much more natural then doing various sades of nude/tan/bronze.

I found this Revlon multicolored blush at my local CVS.  I like that it has a mix of colors rather than a solid color.  I don't want bright cheeks when the rest of my skin is so very pale.  I would say this color is good for light to very light skin tones.  This color probably would not be good for people with dark complexion as it is very subtle. 



Bracelet

I found this pretty bracelet at Wegmans of all places.   It is just a simple stretchy band bracelet and it looks like it will go with so many things.  Not bad for $11.99!


And of course who could forget April 25?
