I love snacks.
I love cookie dough.
I love chocolate chips.
I love it all. So I put it all in one. With a little protein powder to boot.
Stomach bug went away! Hallelujah. Not working out and napping most of the day makes JB feel like one soft gummy bear. Ugh, don’t you hate when I talk to myself in the third person? I sure do. Anywho, I’m back to my normal schedule without feeling like a sick gummy bear. Thank goodness. Everyone I know is getting sick lately. Hell, I was sick 3 times this season. THREE. And the season isn’t even over!! I think I only got sick once last year, but this season, the bugs have got the best of me. What is that about?
Moving on. Remember the other day, when I told you I was going to Vegas soon and asked for some advice about what shows I should see and what restaurants are the best? Well, luckily I got a few comments. But I still need more. A lot of people told me about off the strip stuff, which I’m sure is amazing, but to be honest, I want to be a tourist. I’ve never been to Vegas, so I want to live it up. Thankfully, I’m not 21 anymore, so I’m not looking to drink myself into a blackout, all while doing it as cheap as possible. I’m willing to spend a little money. So lay it on me people. Give me more places to visit.
I think my biggest stressor about Vegas is what I’m going to wear. I don’t really dress 21 year old slutty anymore. Now please don’t take that offensively if you’re 21. I’m speaking from my own experience. When I weighed 26 pounds and could fit into skin tight dresses. Well, that’s not really my style anymore. And I have more curves to work with along with some confidence. So what’s a girl to wear? Comfy shoes, obviously. But if I’m wearing comfy shoes, what do I wear along with them? Time to go shopping!!! Which means online. Obviously. Presents arriving at your doorstep is always the best plan.
That was an entirely pointless blog post. Kbye.

Do you have to include the protein powder?
it’s a binder here, but i’m sure you could use something else
Ooooh. I love me some Vegas. Let’s make this easy to organize.
Eats:
– Wicked Spoon Buffet at the Cosmopolitan
– Bellagio Buffet
– Happy Hour at RA Sushi Bar
– The White Pizza from Secret Pizza at the Cosmopolitan (note: There’s no signs for it in the hotel, hence the namesake. Just find the Marquee Night Club, go up the escalator, and its in this dinky little hallway that has posters of music related things up.)
– Five50 Pizza Bar at Aria. I haven’t been yet, but I heard it gives Secret Pizza a run for their money. The Farmstead and The Truffle is what I heard are the must haves.
Party:
I know you like EDM, so these are the clubs you should check out. Check out the websites for each closer to when your trip is. They list what DJs will be there and on what dates.
– The Light @ Mandalay Bay (best stage: with live Cirque performers).
– Hakkasan @ MGM (brings in some the best DJs)
– Marquee @ Cosmopolitan (My favorite club, you get a good overall mix of EDM and Hip Hop)
Others worth noting:
– XS @ Encore
– Surrender @ Encore
Also, if you need help in setting up bottle service, shows, gun shooting, or pretty much anything in general that you might want to do in Vegas, just shoot me an email and I’ll set you up with my contact out there that plans all that fun stuff.
YUM! Just made them. Just ate them.
can never go wrong with cookies 😉 we’ve made a few dough balls before and always a winner, quick and tasty! these look amazing!!
Any Cirque du Soleil show! I saw “O” and absolutely loved it!!
I’m not sure if all of these have been mentioned yet, but worth reiterating, anyway:
-Jumping off the Stratosphere (prob don’t spring for the DVD of it, though, I’ve never actually watched mine & there are plenty on YouTube that you can pretend are you & save $50)
-Sunday brunch buffet at the Bellagio (the line is super long, so bring snacks. And water for the hangover).
-Any of the Cirque de Soleil shows (in only-related-because-it’s-also-a-show news, don’t waste your time with the MikeTyson one man show. Trust me).
-Check out travelzoo.com for super discounted club tours. I’m not a big clubber, so I couldn’t really care less about which ones I go to but the last couple times I’ve gone, we’ve gotten great deals on those VIP tours that include drinks on the bus and take you to 3 or so places over the night. No lines, no covers, and (in my experience, anyway) actual bottomless drinks on the bus.
You’re gonna have a blast!
Blue Man Group!!! Also just walking through all the hotels on the strip. They are amazing!! You could easily spend three days in any one of those hotels and not do the same thing twice. They all have many and different things to do and see.
I don’t know you, but I think I know you. Know what I mean? Just trust me on this and check out Anthony Cool, a naughty hypnotist. I seriously had sore abs for days. My brother ended up being hypnotized and it was something I will never forget in all my life. So, so, so funny.
I am so happy to have found your blog. I have now made 4 of your recipes in the last three days and have loved everyone of them. Have been posting pictures of the food on facebook and instagram, and have had a huge response. Do not worry, i have pointed everyone of them in your direction. Thank you again and continue posting great food. Your videos are pretty awesome as well!
Seriously:
Gelato at the Bellagio
