Travel | Portland, Oregon

categories: Blog, Travel, Uncategorized

Hello All,

I just got back from Portland, Oregon last weekend (April 23-24, 2015). This was a trip that I was super excited about. I’ve never been to Portland, so I was nervous about what to expect. Everyone is Portland was very very nice and it was so different from being in Los Angeles, CA. Even though I was only there for one day (this was a side trip to our actual trip to Seattle, WA; more about that later) we ate a lot and got a bit of shopping done. I am hoping to visit Portland, Oregon again later this year. *crosses fingers*

My favorite part about Portland, Oregon is that it’s one of the few TAX-FREE states in the US. This meant that whatever price I saw was the price that I was going to pay. This was amazing. I had some Victoria Secret coupons to use up, so I bought my lingerie there. And I also splurged on a designer bag. I’ve been wanting it for awhile now, but the price was just too much to justify. Having no tax added to the already high price finally tipped me over. I’m so excited to use it!

Please watch the video below to see a small bit of my trip out to Portland, Oregon and Seattle, Washington. Part 2 will be up soon.

XOXO, Vivian

Post-grad Vegas Trip

categories: Blog, Travel, Uncategorized

The boyfriend surprised me with a vegas trip that he had gotten on a deal with Hilton in June. We stayed at the Hilton Elara, in their studio suite, which was still amazing. This was my third time staying there, and I believe that Elara is a hidden gem in Vegas. It’s in the center of the strip, on the corner of East Harmon and Las Vegas Strip. Across the street from the Cosmopolitan, inside the Miracle Mile Mall. In the mall, there’s Fat Tuesday and Earl’s Sandwiches. Everything is in walking distance! And the rooms are super nice, even our studio suite came with a queen sized pull out bed. During this trip, it was so HOT. Seriously, like 120 degrees everyday…so we didn’t go out much. We tried to go out at night or walk inside the buildings so that we had AC. It was just a chill and relaxing weekend getaway with the boyfriend. I can’t wait to go back again for more!
