My fave things (Vegas edition)

02|17|2017

The hubby had a work trip last week to Vegas and I got to go along just to relax and have fun! It was a fun little trip with a bunch of great people. The only BUMMER part of the trip is that we were supposed to make it there for a wedding and reception on the first night and our flight was delayed so we missed everything! UGH! BUT, we did get to still see the bride & groom that night and more throughout the trip. So, it ended up okay despite that disappointment.

Here was most of us hanging out after our flight was delayed 🙂 #stillfun

So, I thought a favorite thing in Vegas post would be fun for this week.

Our ride at the airport! I wish I had grabbed his card ‘cuz I would totally share it right now for anyone who’s looking for a HUGE and fun limo ride in Vegas the next time you’re there! I think he said it seats like 30 people!

First off, I do like to gamble a little. And, since I love Britney Spears, I just had to try out this machine. It was loud and blingy and fun lol 🙂

Yeah, that’s $5.00 not $500. I was pretty excited at first.

This was better but I ended up losing it lol. I shoulda walked away but I did play this machine for like 2 hours, so… 😉

One of my favorite things that we did was zipline over Freemont Street in downtown Vegas! I tried to get a pic of the ziplines but you have to look really hard to see them in this pic. And, the next pic is me in the hardness ready for the gate to open! (Yes, I had flipflops on that day so I had to go barefoot so I didn’t drop them on someone’s head below lol ~ and look at my feet from the walk up to the top! ick) For this girl who’s seriously afraid of heights, it was a big step but SO FUN! I wanted to turn around and do it again!

We got free tickets to do the High Roller but we ended up not making it there. Most of the others in our group did. I had done it the last time I was in Vegas for work and it was so cool! I definitely recommend! We did it at night and I still wanna go during the day sometime! You can see it from all over in Vegas but it’s by the Linq 🙂

My favorite breakfast was at Margaritaville! I had the Key West omelet. Seafood in an omelet? I wasn’t sure either but I definitely recommend it if you’re ever there for breakfast! It paired very well with a spicy bloody mary!

And, I don’t get to have Starbucks very often! So, I enjoyed one every day 😉 This was pretty sweet but NUMMY! I love that so many hotels just have Starbucks in them these days. Makes my travelling life SO much less complicated. And, get this, it was cheaper to do Starbucks than buy K-Cups for the Keurig in our room! #thanksCaesars 😉 (p.s. Did you know Starbucks has an app and you can place your order in advance?!? Again, makes life so much less complicated!)

If you know or have followed me for a while, you KNOW on any given trip where the weather is even halfway decent and there’s a pool….I’m gonna be by the pool. I honestly could’ve spent the whole time here had we had more sun! I’m not sure I loved this particular pool at Vegas because we still didn’t have sun after 1 p.m. My idea of going somewhere sunny is to actually soak in the vitamin D! Maybe the other pools there are better all day but they were closed.

The noodles and service here were ah-mazing! I’m not positive if it’s a chain or not but there’s one inside Caesar’s if you’re ever in there and craving noodles.

CHS had an awesome private event booked for us at Drais Beach & Night Club. Part of the club is out in the open and has pools and cabanas and then the other is all dance floor and seating. We’re never much for the night club scene but since this was all for the conference, it was perfect for us! Several of us thought we were 21 again however 😉 I won’t mention any names but…..#imayhavebeenoneofthem

The next day I happened to read some of the reviews online and a few people said it was like the worst night club experience they ever had and that the staff was rude. We all thought the staff was wonderful!! And, service was great! So, it’s a recommend for me 🙂

AND, last but CERTAINLY not least…..THE CUPCAKE ATM! I was lost in Pinterest one night when I came across a pic that looks like the middle one below and I was immediately like, IS THIS A THING?!? IS THIS FOR REAL?? So, I posted on Facebook about it and had several comments that it WAS in fact legit and that there was one in Vegas! I actually found it by accident our first night there! If you’re ever looking, of course use Google maps or something easier BUT it’s by the Linq ~ just down from the HighRoller and right by In&Out Burger lol! It was amazing!

I knew after that I could leave Vegas a happy girl. Not sure Daryn was quite as excited about it as me. #guysjustdontunderstand

If you were there with us and reading this, THANK YOU for one of the best trips to Vegas ever!

It’s been a while but I’m excited to get back to sharing some of my favorite things on Thursdays on the blog!

 

song!

There are so many different versions of this song! This definitely ranks right up there for me!

 

books!

I Am That Girl (yes, still!) ~ Let Hope In (This is part of my devotionals every day. It’s so so good for trusting in God and learning how to let go) ~ Be Obsessed or Be Average (this last one I listen to on Audible every morning while I get ready. I LOVE Grant Cardone! But, he’s definitely not for the faint of heart. If you’re an entrepreneur who needs a kick in the butt, I highly recommend grabbing this book or his The 10X Rule) 
You can click the images below to go to Amazon to get them if you’re interested!

albums & artist!

Eric Church! Chief, Mr. Misunderstood, & The Outsiders

app!

Google Keep! So great for staying organized!

exercise!

Yoga on #bod!
I was doing Country Heat in January until I got sick and got a little derailed. Thanks goodness for #bod and the variety AND yoga! My body has been LOVING yoga right now. (But, I did get a Heat workout in after work today!)

food!

The catepillar sushi roll at a restaurant called Basil where I live! #yummo! It’s like a Cali roll with avocado on top!

and my new fave thing at work!

An adjustable desk to stand or sit throughout the day! LOVE!

Ok, so who loves Urban Outfitters?!?

I had never been in one until my trip to New Orleans in October (hey, I’m a small town North Dakota girl after all! the closest Target to us is like 90 miles away and there isn’t even a UO in our STATE!) and I literally thought I had died and went to shopping heaven.

I swear there’s nothing that store didn’t have. I think I spent 2 hours walking around in there one morning after having beignets and Chicory coffee at a place called Cafe Du Munde….which was absolutely delish btw!

Clothes. And, cute, unique, fun fashion at that!

Journals.

Shoes.

Jewelry.

Makeup.

Candles.

Earbuds.

Adult AND kids color books.

Books.

Home decor.

And, more.

I love Target and Scheels and TJMaxx n’all but DANG this is for sure my new fave. Ok, maybe UO is tied with Target…’cuz Target is pretty hard to beat.

Check out this cute #fashionfind!!

My fave eyeliner!

katvond-il_trooper04

My fave shoes to do Country Heat, lift, or any other more cross training type of workouts! I need to buy a new pair ‘cuz mine stink so bad! (Oooooh, and little tip on that! I love the sports spray from Norwex! I’ll post that next week! I spray them, let them dry, and then throw them in the freezer for a day lol! Crazy but it really helps! I don’t like to wear socks working out so they get PRETTY bad.) They are SUPER light, super comfortable, and very supportive.

My all-time favorite silver hoop earrings! My ears are pretty sensitive and these are the only ones that don’t bother them at all! I just love the shape of them. And, I just lost my like 4th pair of them so I’m on a mission to find a new pair! I think they are Lia Sophia but I can’t remember for sure and didn’t Lia Sophia go out of business??

My favorite way to fight a cold and icky flu-like symptoms. I had them about a year ago and I remember taking them several times and not getting super sick. And, on Tuesday I started feeling pretty iffy again and my girl Jamie hooked me up and I felt so much better! Must try! And, if you need a Doterra consultant, let me know and I’ll send you her info!

Hot baths and my Kindle.

AND, last but not least this week, THIS outfit!

I wanted to share a few of my favorite meals and snacks this week!!  Click on the images to go to the pins or recipes or info 🙂

This is like my fave lunch ever.  I could (and sometimes do) eat it every day during the work week!
A few variations ~ I love to add fresh cilantro and sometimes red pepper flakes.  I also sometimes use hard boiled eggs mashed up on top but I like this warm so prefer a fried egg in spray or a little coconut oil or EVVO with a runny yolk and on Ezekial Sprouted bread!

This is so so so good!  I could also eat this a few times a week!  And, again, often do!

These. Are. Amazing.
I don’t always put spinach in.

I sneak ground flax or chia seeds into this to make them even better 🙂

Shakeology!!  All flavors 🙂  Greenberry is maybe my least favorite.  But, the new cafe latte with chilled butter toffee coffee, unsweetened cashew milk, a little raw honey and ice is to die for!  And, my healthiest meal of the day.  and, I get it for even less than $4.33 per shake 🙂  I have a new 7-day Shakeology challenge starting in a couple weeks if you’ve been thinking of trying it but not sure you want to commit to a month of it 🙂  You can message me on this page or email me at fitstrongpink@gmail.com for more info!

I try not to have these too often but I love to mic them just a little bit to warm them up and make them gooey!  I buy them on amazon for cheaper 🙂

Hope you had a great Thursday!

Just a girl in love with Faith, family, fitness, food, fashion & fun ~ who is chasing her dreams & living her purpose fearlessly! #girlboss #bebrave #breakthemold #LYP
