Muscle Flex Vata Workout Clothing- Best Sports Bra!

Posted in: BEST Of..., Celebrity Fashions & Gossip, Featured Products, Gift Ideas for GIRLS, Health & Fitness, What to wear NOW

I mentioned in my Kim Kardashian post that I would post pictures of my new workout gear I received from the Vata launch party, so here it is! I am obsessed with this sports bra, not only because it is a super cute cut, but because it’s soooo comfy!

Vata is a workout line that features one size fits all workout pieces, made with a super stretchy, comfy material. In my previous post, I mentioned that their “Luv Me” sports bra didn’t fit me well, a little too big, however, this new sports bra “The Rio” fits muchhhhh better. The cut is so cute it makes you want to not wear a shirt over it, but I’m not that buff/courageous yet. Maybe soon?

THE RIO BRA $38.00

The “Rio” is a must have bra for your everyday and sportswear wardrobe. The “Rio” is designed for absolute flattery of your figure and provides unmatched natural moisture wicking with the one of a kind VATA Brasil OneFit fabric (sizes 0-12). Deep V-neck and low-interlaced back is an incredibly comfortable yet sexy and sassy look both in the gym and out. Do you need that perfect bra for yoga, low impact aerobics, Pilate’s or cycling? You have found your choice … The “Rio” is the one for you!!

Sorry I’m so fugly in the pic, I just got done doing hill sprints. But hey, at least now you’ve seen me sweaty without make up in my messy room?

Check out the super cute back of the bra…

Summer is Coming, Start Primping Now!

Posted in: BEST Of..., Bikinis, Celebrity Fashions & Gossip, Hair How To's, Hot Topics, Make up Tips, Skin Care, What to wear NOW

Kim Kardashian laying poolside in Miami? How perfect does that sound rightttt now? Usually I prefer Winter over Summer, but I have a feeling this Summer is going to be super fun. Seeing these pics made me realize a lot goes into looking this cute while simply laying out, which then caused me to create a mental list of everything that went into her looking so fab. That then inspired this post After all, who doesn’t want to learn how to look effortlessly cute poolside? Kim looks like she just threw on a bikini and decided to layout, however any glam girl knows that’s definitely not the case.

So… sure fire ways to be the cutest Beach Bunny this Summer?

1. Her hair- someone shove some extra weave pieces in my head now, long flowy princess hair, I want it… no I need it! Extensions make everything look better. To me at least Sure they might not be user friendly or like-able by anyone touching your head but so what, they look fab. I personally would go for clip in hair extensions that way you can take them in and out as needed. In San Diego? Hair Unlimited is an extension store that will match your hair color and make the extensions for you, all for around $100.00. Best $100 you’ve ever spent!

2010 Beach Bunny Bikinis… Cuter Than Ever!

Posted in: BEST Of..., Bikinis, Gift Ideas for GIRLS, Girly things I love!, What to wear NOW

I have 3 all time favorite brands… Bebe, PINK by Victoria’s Secret and last but certainly not least, BEACH BUNNY. I have written about Beach Bunny before, but they just released their 2010 line of bikinis and I want them ALL. Honestly everything about Beach Bunny is cute. Their advertising, their models, their bikini cuts, etc etc. PLUS they have an entire Alpha Female section on their site! Ahhh, perfect example of branding done right, Beach Bunny is most definitely the hottest bikini line on the market. The only downfall of Beach Bunny is they are pretty pricey. About $300 for a bikini, but… justifiable because they’re oh so unique, detailed and fab. Lace, ribbons, bows, pearls, polka dots, my kinda brand.

Beach Bunny is the perfect brand for a fancy vacation or girls getaway to Vegas. I don’t like when girls where glamkinis to the wrong places. (I made that word up myself ) So lets separate when glamkinis, like Beach Bunny, are ok and when they’re not.

When to glam it up and bust out with a fab new glamkini:

* Vegas or Miami, duh

* On a yacht, boat party, or fancy pool party

When to NOT bust out a bedazzled glamkini bc you look dumb

* The beach, your backyard laying out, the water park, or local beach clubs. I always see girls in pictures soooo glammed out for pos places like Wavehouse in SD, and it looks dumb. There is such a thing as trying too hard, and a local beach party is one place to pass on the glamkini. Sport a cute outfit sure, but dress venue appropriate.

Now check out a few of my favorites from Beach Bunny’s new 2010 bikini line.

NOTE: Bottoms run SMALL I wear a LARGE in Beach Bunny bottoms, but then again my lower half is large. Best to try these on in person, online ordering may be tricky.

Love on the Rocks $239.00

Comes in grey & hot pink. I loveee the dark gun metal grey. Super cute with gun metal accessories.

Every girl MUSTTTT have the new foundation brush by MAC. My friend Brittany works for MAC and suggested I try this brush and boy was she right, it lays your make up so smooth! Such an amazing brush to apply your liquid foundation. It truly goes on flawlessly and doesn’t show the usual cracks and make up build up normal brushes leave you with.

I use Estee Lauder Double Wear liquid foundation (Tawney color), applied with this brush, and it really is the best I have found so far.

Fabulous Men’s Haircuts in San Diego- CHEAP!

Posted in: BEST Of..., BOYS Fashion Picks, Boysss, Hair How To's

I have posted about my talented, fab hairstyling pal Rachel before, but what I learned today is that her specialty is also men’s haircuts. While visiting her today I saw her cut a few guy’s hair and was impressed! Figured I would pass this little tip on to all my guy readers who are looking for a reliable, yet affordable trim or new hairstyle.

Rachel is super cute and easy to talk to, it’s nice to get your hair cut by someone who listens to what you want and who really wants you to leave happy. Men’s haircuts run only $30-$40 bucks depending on what you do, and she will make sure you leave with exactly what you want.

The salon itself is called Salon de Marcus, and is located Downtown, San Diego on 2nd Avenue. Super cute little boutique-y place that isn’t buzzing with a million people. Everyone is friendly, well trained, and overall just a great experience. I know men are finicky with hair cutting places, and it’s hard to find someone easy and good, so Rachel just might be your girl Summer is coming, time for a nice new clean cut

To book an appointment with Rachel, please call: 619-239-2887

Best Vegas Sushi- Roku Sushi in Caesars Palace

Posted in: BEST Of..., Best Restaurants, Date Night Ideas, Food, VEGAS Hot Spots

I guess I am just an excessive eater, all my posts are food related it seems? I have been in Vegas all week so eating has definitely been a huge part of the week. Great, bye bye skinny jeans. Anyway, I have a new favorite sushi restaurant for you to try if you are in Vegas. Inside Caesars Palace there is a sushi restaurant called Roku Sushi and it is delicious! I would suggest making a reservation though because it isn’t that big and can fill up, especially on weekends.

If you really want a good seat, reserve a view of the strip if you can. Half of the restaurant overlooks the strip which makes for a super fun date spot. My favorite part of the meal was the Champagne cocktail. YUM! I love any place that has specialty cocktails that are unique. For dinner I ordered a veggie roll, cucumbers, avocado and asparagus with soy paper. Was pretty yummy but not that filling, the rolls could be a bit bigger, or maybe I’m just fat and they’re a good size?

I also got veggie tempura which was good as well. They also have a Miso Eggplant, which sounds repulsive but was actually tasty, bits of eggplant cooked in miso soup, pretty yum. Like I said, the cocktail was my favorite, but the sushi was great too for all you sushi fans. By far the best sushi I have found in Vegas so far. There was also a bachelorette party there when we ate, so it is def. a fun place to bring a big group, however they were loud and annoying ;P

Have a favorite restaurant in Vegas? I wanna hear! Big fat fatty, I wanna hit up all the best places

Hottest Clubs in Las Vegas

Posted in: BEST Of..., VEGAS Hot Spots

Sometimes I think I should pack my bags and move to Vegas to become a VIP host because I get more emails regarding Vegas than I do San Diego since I seem to be in Vegas more than SD these days. I think I am going to man … uuhhhh wo-man up, and move to Vegas. It is so much more fun out there Anyway, I want to start posting more about Vegas hot spots and the kewl places to party, since they seem to change hourly!) For anything Vegas related, feel free to email me! I can hook you up with anything you need. Guest lists, tables, pool parties… amandajo@helloamanda.com.

Anyway, today I am going to briefly talk about the 3 hottest Vegas clubs to date.

1. XS- Encore

2. Haze- Aria Hotel

3. Vanity- Hard Rock Las Vegas Hotel & Casino

First Vegas hot spot I am going to tell you about is XS at Encore. To me I think this is still one of the best club in Vegas, the club itself is ammmmazinnng. The 40,000-square foot, 1 million dollar club, is located at Encore Las Vegas, which as you might know is a second tower to the Wynn. XS features 95 VIP tables, 30 cabanas situated on two levels and daybeds that surround a fabbbb pool. Although it has been around a little bit, it still is a total blast.The second you walk in, youre blown away. It is by far the hugest club I have ever been to, you get lost for sure. Pools, pillars, pink lights, the decor is fab.

Celebs love XS and every time I go I see a few. John Mayer, Pam Anderson, Tito & Jenna, The Kardashians… You name em, they go.
