Best Vegas Sushi- Roku Sushi in Caesars Palace

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 ;)

Best Mexican Food in Vegas- Dos Caminos

(Just incase you are in town looking for a yummy, fun new meal to try out) Dos Caminos is the name of the restaurant and it is located inside of the Pallazo Hotel which is right next door to The Venetian.

The decor of the place is super fun and colorful, the place is hugeeee and is def something different and interesting to see. Picture sparkly blue, tile pillars throughout the restaurant, and tons of unique lamps covering the walls.  They even have cabana style tables in the front you can reserve, all are dimly lit with purple lights, would make a fun date spot ferrr shure.

The BEST Workout Clothing by VATA

So of course when I heard Kim Kardashian was endorsing a new brand of workout clothes, I just haddddd to see what it was all about. I have seen Kim in cute workout pants before and loved them, and now I finally know what they are. Everyone get excited because VATA, which is made by Muscle Flex, is amazing!

Guess Who’s Belly is Bbbback? Khloe Gains Weight

This is the exact reason I don’t FFF around with diet pills. Look who is back to being a big girl? Hey… I have no problem with big girls, I’m just sayin tho, what’s the point in being skinny for one month then gaining it all back? As I posted before, Khloe and Kim are HUGE spokespeople for Quik Trim diet pills, however this pic is proof the results are super temporary. I don’t know about you, but I rather stay consistent, work out, eat semi healthy and just be happy with the way I am.

Then again, maybe Khloe’s weight gain is because she’s preggo, she did say she was trying!? Guess well find out soon here.

Remember the good old days? The oh… 2 month ago days? Diet pills are yuck! PS I need to learn how to photoshop myself to look as good as they do here. Lotsa corrective clicks!


Monster Energy’s- LO Ball Java. YUM!

Yum yummm, I loveee Monster Energy drinks, my new favorite is one of their coffee drinks called Lo-Ball Java. Lo-Ball java comes in a white monster can and is a coffee flavored energy drink that tastes delicious however, contains far less calories than most coffee drinks.

The Lo-Ball Java tastes like a Starbucks caramel frappuccino kind of. Smooth, milky, creamy. Yum. PLUS it is pretty lo cal. 50 calories per serving. With 2 servings per can, Lo-Ball is a 100 calorie coffee drink. Not too bad.

Before you attack me and tell me how bad these are for me you should know, I know. I drink them in moderation and know they are not a good product to drink daily. Thanks for the concern :)

Anyway, if you are in the market for a new, low calorie, coffee flavored pick me up, try out Monster Lo- Ball. Available at most gas stations, but can be tricky to find. So far I get mine at the AMPM by Fashion Valley mall.

Move It Monday- “Healthy Foods” That Make You Fat

Being a girl I feel like I am on a never ending diet… Eat this, don’t eat that… Ehh well, not really considering my weekends consist of champagne and pizza, however I do find myself watching what I eat once and a while and recently came across a list of some foods many people eat thinking they are healthy, when in reality they are anything but. Some of these foods could surprise you.

1. Sushi Rolls. Sure the veggies and seaweed wrap are low calorie, but a lot of the favorite rolls are smothered with nasty cream cheese or mayo (You know… that spicy sauce that sneaks it’s way in) Also, the seafood inside may be tempura battered aka fried greasy mess. Thanks to the above listed items, a standard sushi roll can clock in at 500 to 600 calories. Plus, soy sauce is packed with sodium, it won’t make you gain weight, but it will cause you to retain water, aka puffy mess with temporarily too tight of jeans.

Sushi tip? Play it safe like I do. Brown rice and veggies only. Avocado, asparagus, carrots, YUM!
