I have a delicious recipe for you today!

It's my new go-to drink since it is summertime.

I need to think of a cute name for it..so just shoot out some ideas if you have any ;)

Ingredients:

Ice

X-Rated

Club Soda

Cranberry Juice.

Fill a glass with ice,

Pour in a shot or two or three of X-Rated Liquor 

Pour in desired amount of club soda

Top of with a splash of Cranberry Juice

Stir.

That's it!

Optional: Add a beach chair,

and a hot shirt-less man of your choosing. 

(I would imagine a nice lime squeeze would be delicious added to this too, the x-rated is kind of tart)

It is light and refreshing.

Cold and fruity.

Perfect!

If you try it let me know!

If you go to the X-Rated website, it also offers a ton of recipes!

Yesterday reached 104 degrees here in Vegas, and my mom is not a fan of the payment that comes along with an air conditioner..my house runs around 80-84. Now, that wouldn't be too bad; but my room faces the west, so the sun sets right into my room. from 2pm till sunset the sun pours into my room heating it up like furnace. It was especially bad yesterday, and you know the first thing I did? besides strip down to a tank top and shorts, was grab a cold one and some fro-yo. It definitely worked, I was cool  in NO TIME.

cookies n' cream fro-yo

amen winnie.

amen

chug. chug. chug.

not really.

 Do you ever eat ice cream in a mug?
What do you do to cool down?

Blue Man Group experience!

Pin It

Being from Vegas I always get asked "What should I do when I come to Las Vegas?" or "What would you recommend?"  Living here has provided me with a lot of experiences on The Strip, so please feel free to email me with any questions if you plan on taking a trip here! I also am thinking of making a tab of my favorite places!

Sunday night Matt and I got the opportunity to go and see Blue Man Group for free, it's all in who you know baby.  It was such an amazing experience! While walking into the show we got asked if we wanted to be apart of a skit, and we were promised better seats; and without hesitation we jumped on it! (it; as in the opportunity, not on the man.)  *SPOILER ALERT, the next paragraph gives away a bit of the show..don't read if you plan on seeing the show..or if you care *

Our "parts" were to be the late arrivals. Walking into the show 15 minutes late.
The usher lead us to a "secret viewing area" while we waited for the show to start. We passed time by taking silly iPhone pictures..that by no means turned out cute, we were blinded by the flash. 10 minutes into the show we were ushered back into the regular theater, and alarms started blaring, a camera was in my face and the "whole show" stopped to look at us.."late arrivals." The Blue "Men" stopped their instruments, people all around us were staring...even though it was "staged" I really felt like I was inconveniencing the show haha

When I looked up to the stage, my face was on a big television screen.
Yep, yours truly, on the screen of a Las Vegas Show; and low and behold I look in the background and Matt is waving, like he is a celebrity! only he would do that, when we are supposed to be acting embarrassed haha

We were given seats that were pretty close, it was amazing!
Seriously..I read the reviews before the show and they were very mixed, some people hated it and others LOVED it. We were apart of the "LOVED" it crowd. It was musical, comical, and very entertaining! It is definitely something I recommend if you were coming to Vegas!!


Have you ever been to The Blue Man Group? Thoughts?
What Vegas shows have you been too? 

woo hoo!

School's out for summer!
woo hoo!
this semester seemed it would never end, but as of last night at 6:47 p.m. when I turned in my last assignment, I relished in the fact that it was over. No more homework every night after working 9 hours, no more taking test on the weekends after getting off of my second job, no more reading text books (okay I was really reading 50 shades of grey), no more school! well...until june 4th when I start my one and only summer school class..but that will hopefully be a piece of cake. History or sports anyone?

I have four weeks left of my teaching job, then I will be celebrating making it through the school year, and being able to only have one job! ONE JOB sounds amazing right now. I will be excited to focus on this little blog of mine, and my photography a little bit more.

do you do anything special in the summertime?
-We try to take one trip..but it is always in October =]

bawling..like a little baby

Pin It
please watch this for a good laugh:



On twitter last night I mentioned that I could see myself bawling at my wedding; getting ready, driving there, walking down the aisle, dancing with  my husband and my dad. I just know I will be a wreck. I wouldn't say I am an emotional person, but I cry very easily. Pretend that sentence didn't contradict itself. I cry easily, but not like "ugly-cry" just a few tears rolling down the cheek.  After watching several wedding videos, I was happy...can I just get married already? No. It is not happening anytime soon, and honestly I am okay with that. REALLY. I have to much on my plate at the moment to be planning a wedding. but for real, the wedding would top everything else; hence why it's a good idea we wait till I am done with school.

This is what i am dreading.. the ugly cry. the one I DONT want in pictures, the one that WILL mess up my make up..the one that will..well in fact make me ugly.

did you cry on your wedding?
did your man cry?
matt thinks he might shed a tear, but I think he will shed a few.

well that ruins "the mood"

I have spoken wrote about our first date, how I knew he was a keeper, and just about him in general; but what I havent talked about is how I knew he was a "man." calm down..not like that. I mean how I knew chivalry isn't dead.

 Going back to the second date, we went and painted pottery. yes..we painted pottery. I had mentioned it on our first date and he surprised me with it. We followed that up with some sushi, and then headed back to my apartment. We were just watching some TV, and we started  kissing and all the sudden...I saw a drop of blood on his face and I was totally confused, and then the next thing I know I feel my nose bleeding. I jump up and run to the bathroom, leaving Matt confused in the living room, he comes walking over and there I am hunched over the sink with tissue to my face. My face was as red, so embarrassed, and I shut the door in his face. Hello, second date in and I am having a bloody nose.
He slowly opens the door, grabs my hair and holds it for me, rubs my back, and tells me "not to worry about it." I almost about cried. this is a man, he didn't hide in the living room until I was done, but he stayed there and helped me through this embarrassing moment.

The kicker: I had another bloody nose that night, while kissing. It never happened again after that night, but we always joke about it now!

happy monday =]
