Las Vegas Trip Recap

We recently returned from a (very hot) trip to Las Vegas. It was a nice trip, but we had an unfortunate run in with a stomach bug that stole 2.5 non-travel days. This means we didn't get to go to a lot of the places on our list.

Day 1

We arrived in Vegas on a Saturday afternoon and immediately picked up the rental car, checked into the Vdara hotel, and headed to the Wicked Spoon buffet in the Cosmopolitan. I had seen this buffet on tv several times in the past couple of years and was super excited to try it out.

Cat + Cupcake = Catcake?

I haven't worked on a crochet project since March when I made the little lime people to take to my office. I decided it was time to start a new project as a going away gift for one of my coworkers.

In order to avoid spoilers, let's just say Melissa's picks for me blew me away. Read on for details!

Lina Nail Art Supplies Plates

I recently discovered a nail art brand I'd never heard of via Instagram called Lina Nail Art Supplies. Their Instagram is full of really neat looking stamped nail art. Further research indicated they sell a ton of plates with really neat designs, but I was hesitant to purchase since I've done that in the past only to receive plates that don't stamp well for whatever reason. I finally decided I couldn't live without the Make Your Mark 01 and Make Your Mark 02 plates, so I bit the bullet and ordered them. Spoiler alert: I was not disappointed with my purchase.
