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
