I want a boat. A big ass boat I can float around on all day. Since I don’t have my own, yet, I enjoy everyone else’s in the meantime. A group of friends took their boat out this weekend and we had sooooo much fun, well I did at least 
It was nice to just relax and sip cocktails in the sun, it was a perfect day out! Not much else to talk about really, just a fun day, here are a few pics.

So my roomie Erin’s little sister and her friend were in town last weekend, so we all went up to LA to explore! They are from the East Coast so Hollywood was a perfect destination to sight see while they were here. We spent the entire day shopping on Robertson and doing all the tourist-y things like visiting all the stars and Chinese Theater! Kim Kardashian was actually shopping on Robertson too the same day! Great minds think alike
I ate too much at lunch so it was annoying to walk around all day but I’m glad we did. I actually had never been to the Chinese Theater before. For those of you who had no idea what the Chinese Theater is, it’s the most famous theater in Hollywood. The grand opening of Grauman’s Chinese Theatre in Hollywood on May 18, 1927, was the most spectacular theatre opening in motion picture history. Thousands of people lined Hollywood Boulevard and a riot broke out as fans tried to catch a glimpse of the movie stars and other celebrities as they arrived for the opening.
It was cool to see all of the famous actors and actresses hand and foot prints. Marilyn Monroe’s foot prints were seriously tiny, like two of mine together 
It is a fun tourist thing to do when in Hollywood, check out their site for more info.
After walking around we went to the Roosevelt hotel and laid out for a bit. I love The Roosevelt Hotel, however the hotel was a mess the day we went. Dirty towels and trash covering the entire pool area. I don’t know what was going on there that day. Of course the pool was full of weirdos in cat ears and thongs, people in LA are so weird I couldn’t wait to run home. Everyone seems like they’re on drugs or pills. Slow and out of it? I dunno what it is, people just seem a bit off.
Anyway, it was a fun day trip. After exploring LA we went to visit friends in OC. One is pregnant so I had to stop by and harass her about being way too grown up. She stuffed us full of cookies & cocktails and we went on our merry way. She won’t tell me the baby’s name, probably because I’ll find a way to make fun of whatever it is. Anyway, I had so much fun running around LA and catching up with pals! Fun day trip if you’re bored with SD!

Sigh… oh beach bars, why do I continue going to you if I never have fun at you? Those of you that know me in person, know that I’m anything but a beach bar girl. I’m an indoorsy/spray tan loving, cyber weirdo who prefers the rain over the sun any day, and definitely rather go out Downtown than to a grimy, sandy beach bar where girls sport flip flops and knotted hair with pride. However… my roommates are the opposite, your modern day beach bunnies if you may, and somehow always end up dragging me out to the PB bars. I’m not saying no normal people go to beach bars, but you and I both know they attract some real weirdos. I’m usually the girl in the corner growling with the glowing DO NOT DIZTURB sign permanently embedded in my forehead, I really don’t know why my friends even want me to go?
You get the point… Anyway, the other night we hit up Miller’s Field in PB and I actually had an ok time! Gasp… I’m not sure if it was the bar or just the fact that I was out with my favorite friends, either way it was fun. We had a great time people watching and laughing at all the boys pick up lines. One by one they’d drop like flies. One of my roomies is recently single and has been having a blast going out, so we send all the wild boys her way. She’s the feistiest as well, so it always makes for a fun show. Anyway, the point of this post was that Miller’s Field is an ok beach bar if you are in town visiting and must go to one.

I had the best time on my road trip up the 101 freeway, I had to tell you all about it! I embarked upon a serious road trip along the entire West coast last week until today. I started my adventure in San Francisco and headed North all the way to Portland, Oregon via SUV. The last time I took this trip was probably over 10 years ago with the fam. We’d all pile in my family’s van, fully equip with an air mattress in the back, and drive from San Diego to John Day, OR. I was pretty young at the time and slept most the way, so now that I’m a bit older, and can appreciate pretty sceneries, this trip was a total blast!
Like I said, we started off in San Francisco. San Fran was amazingggg minus the freezing cold, windy weather. Think New York in the Winter. Well, not that cold, but pretty cold! Most definitely Winter coat cold. We stayed at the Mandarin Hotel, on the 45th floor, what an amazing hotel and view.
Next time you find yourself in San Fran with a couple hundred bucks to blow on a hotel, Mandarin is worth it. Check out the view from our room!
We went for a nice run along the Embarcadero one morning, but then spent the rest of the time in San Fran searching for Mexican food. Pretty hard to find in this town. **Tip when traveling to San Fran? Monday’s are DEAD past 10pm, and most restaurants close early. The only late night spot we found near the hotel? A place called Oola. It was actually pretty delicious, and open til midnight. I had a nice cheese plate and a fancy grilled cheese. Oink. Read More | Comments

Ok soooooo…… I lasted in Las Vegas like 2 minutes but whatever, I couldn’t handle it, I had to move home to San Diego! Yep I’m back. My entire life I’ve been dying to try living there so I did and learned fast that is not where I belong. Never know if you never try though right? So hey at least I tried. Vegas for me is best left to visit.
So what went wrong? Well a number of things. First of all I had an awesome job, but realistically to benefit from it fully I would have to stick it out in Vegas for years. Network, create relationships, work my way up, establish clientele, etc. I never ever planned on staying in Vegas for more than a Summer, so I figured it was pointless investing time in a goal I didn’t even want to fulfill.
As awesome as working for TAO was, the hours were late. Some nights I wouldn’t get home until 6am. The sun would be rising as I would drive home. Anyone who knows me knows I am a total grandma who doesn’t do drugs, so not being in bed by midnight, and staying up til 6am was rough/impossible. Then add smokey casinos and clubs into the equation, no thanks. Still coughing by the way…
Then there’s the whole Vegas never sleeps thing. I am all for going out and having fun, but in Vegas… it never stops, I couldn’t keep up. My job meant social outings, and networking tons which then meant men whom I’d normally never everrrr blink twice at got the privilege of obtaining my phone number and abusing it all hours of the day. I would get the nastiest text messages I’ve ever gotten in my life. I still can’t believe guys would just text a total stranger they met while she is working to meet up and crush it. I honestly had no idea what that even meant until I was informed later on. I guess it did not mean to come meet up and have a fun crazy night?
Another huge problem was not being able to workout outside. Its 111 degrees, literally. No more street runs. Great. Even if the weather was suitable for a quick run, the neighborhood most certainly was not. I tried running outside once and after passing 3 bums, a drug deal, 2 trannies/hookers, pigeons, cigarette butts, and tweekers, I promised myself that was my first and last Vegas run. Then I was eating like a pig, feasts each meal (my fault, not Vegas’) but it overall was just an unhealthy living environment. No street runs + endless Wynn buffets = BAD news.
On to the people…. The people were just yuck, only looking to use you for their own benefits. Could I have met more normal people over time? Sure. But I didn’t. My one and only girl friend turned out to be a total psycho, stopped being my friend over a spray tan. I think that was the final straw. Everyone was nuts, I just wanted to go back home to my nice, healthy, green grass life in San Diego.
I did make a handful of guy friends who were super nice and helpful but you can’t live in Vegas with only guy friends, I need close girl friends to survive, just how I am. Anyway, I am back home living with two of my best friends, steps from the beach and couldn’t be happier! I still do tons of stuff in Vegas so I can still help everyone out with anything Vegas related. I know everyone out there industry wise so my trip wasn’t pointless. Overall it was definitely an experience I do not regret, I had a blast but realize my heart is happier here in San Diego. I laid out all day in the perfect 80 degree weather and now am laying on my floor as the ocean breeze blows through my balcony door… couldn’t be happier.
Back to princess parties, crafting, painting, running, beach bunny’ing, and Priscilla petting I go

I officially started my new job today and am so excited to tell you all about it! I am now working as a VIP Host for all of TAO Group’s venues and also will be teaming up with their online marketing team to creatively network their already amazing events. TAO has always been a long time favorite of mine, and this opportunity will definitely be so much fun! I can’t wait to learn the in’s and out’s of Vegas the same way I learned San Diego’s, and overall to just have an awesome Summer.
Anyone who knows about TAO, knows it’s reliable fun. Every time I go there I see tons of celebs and loveeee dancing in their hip hop room until I drip sweat ahha. Some of today’s biggest celebrities only host their events at TAO, especially my favorites, Kim Kardashian, Paris Hilton etc Can’t wait to share some crazy stories and pictures with you guys from now on about all the fun events TAO is having.
Did you also know that TAO is the number one grossing restaurant in the US (Yes the food is thattt good and yes it really is #1!) You gotta try it if you haven’t yet. I love their Chilean sea bass skewers, veggie spring rolls, and.. and… and, yum everythingggg. Not to mention the restaurant itself has the some of the coolest decors in Vegas.

Seriously life is crazyyyy right now, so sorry for the lack of posts! I think right now is hands down the hardest transition I have ever been through, correction, it is. I could lie and tell you all living in Las Vegas is a total blast but reality is it definitely has its ups and downs. So many people ask me why I ever moved out of San Diego to somewhere so crazy like Vegas and I really don’t have a reason other than I think everyone should push themselves outside their comfort zone at least once in this lifetime, and since I never have, this was my time! I was born and raised in San Diego and I was sick of seeing the same people at the same places, I wanted to get lost in a city and create a new life there. Now that I am lost in a new city, and well in over my head, all of me wants to move home because it’s terrifying, but I gotta keep going!
I never had any desire to really leave SD until recently, I mean why would I? San Diego has it all. My best friends, my family, I had a secure job, a cozy home, a Pomeranian I love more than anything, I must have been crazy to pack up all my crap and move to Sin City? This move could be one of the biggest mistakes ever, but I trust that I will grow immensely from this and I’ll always know that San Diego and all those amazing things I left behind are just a 5 hour drive away. Coming home when I am home sick really has helped this transition. I come home, see everything is still the same and can venture back off to Vegas knowing I’m not missing anything new.
I of course have been having a blast out here as well, soooo much to do! Saturday night I worked an event for a jewelry company called Ideal, a Canadian diamond company. 20 girls and I hit up TAO Nightclub and had so much fun.
I ran into my new boss, Jason Strauss, who had a table with Brittny Gastineau and E! News host Giuliana Rancic, so it was fun seeing them in real life! Brittny Gastineau was celebrating the launch of her new jewelry line, Tres Glam, at Lavo the following night, featuring a performance by Macy Gray. The best part of Vegas is there are always fun people around to meet and see!

Ahhh so Memorial Day in Vegas has officially begun, the city is totallllly chaotic! I haven’t been going out at all lately so I decided to stop being a hermit and hit up Cheryl Burke’s birthday at TAO Beach with my friends from LasVegasPoolScene.com. These guys have been such good friends to me, helping me get to know people in Vegas and of course always keeping me in touch with the best events and pool parties to hit up. If you ever need the 411 on the hottest Vegas pool events make sure to check out my friend Joe’s site! He will get you on whatever guest lists you need for any Vegas pools and the site always covers the celebrity hosted events, fun site to check out
Anyway, so we hit up TAO Beach because even though it’s been around a bit, it’s reliable fun Today, like I said, was Cheryl Burke, from Dancing with the Star’s, birthday so TAO Beach was packed.
LasVegasPoolScene.com had a day bed table so it was nice to just layout and sip a cocktail. Long over due. A few randy’s, Freddy, Shawn, Joe & I.
