Las Vegas V-Day trip! (Picture Heavy)

 

Today I'll tell you a little bit about my recent V-day trip to Las Vegas! It was a quick trip with no much planning, but I am glad I did it together with my partner. It was our first trip together by ourselves ♥

We arrived early morning Saturday and went straight to our hotel room after checking in. Since I've been there before I already knew most attractions, but there were a few new things from my last trip back in 2017. Now reservations have to be made in order to eat at a nice restaurant, which sucked because everything seemed to be fully booked. So we had to eat some fast food for lunch. 

(Our airport fashion! Aoki looked super cute and got so many compliments on her Rugrats jacket♥)

White Castle was okay, but I am not a fan of them TBH. Then I decided to book us dinner at a restaurant inside our hotel-casino area for later that day.

We then walked a lot to the M&M and Coca Cola store. I was too tired to take many photos, but I was not tired to actually buy some presents and stuff for myself. I love Coke products, specially the vintage vibes so I got a few things that go with my room theme.

My budget wasn't that big either and since the Vegas tourist-hype for me was gone I tried to be present and enjoy my time. I got a retro tin box, some cute sparkly keychains and some postcards.

I walked to much and noticed my body is breaking down, lol. I am turning into a fucking grandma OTL

I have to start working out again or I'll become even more rusty!

I didn't really drink, which I was surprised by since I love to walk around drunk whenever is possible and legally allowed lol. I had only one margarita and lots of water! Then later we were super tired and headed to dinner. 

Tip: If you go to Las Vegas and see a chili pepper icon, ask the waiter about how spicy the item is.

I wasn't aware Nashville style food was SPICY, I thought it was an American level BS but then I gave a bite and it was terrible. I am Mexican, I can handle spicy but this chicken was CRAZY!!! I still regret it on my stomach to this day. They had non-alcoholic mocktails and super juicy juices♥

After that we went to nap and I woke up super late with my blood pressure to the floor, super dizzy and with my stomach burning.

However, I gathered my strength to go out and about again, it was super cold and windy though. I feel sorry to be super winey, but I felt really ill and grumpy. 

My second outfit for Saturday Night! I did not do makeup because I bear-ly had energy... but hey! I go to wear some teddy bear fashion like I planned♥

Sweatshirt: Aliexpress

Shoes: ADIDAS

Accesories: Shein

Leg warmers: Aliexpress

Next day was Valentine's day! So we woke up to get ready and wore matching outfits! She loves black and of course I has to wear my sweater in pink! 

Not gonna brag too much but I think we do look adorable!♥

My date being extra patient while I get ready and munch our Drug Store breakfast♥

We took a lot of chekis, I want to decorate them and eventually stick them all to my wall! I love using stickers and POSCA on them! 

Some random photo booths by our hotel. I look gross, but I can't do much about it now lol.

Some purchases we made at Fashion Show Mall, which is this giant a$$ plaza with lots and lots of high end brands and everything in between. I got these Angel Sonny and a Bebichhichi from a kawaii item store called Kappa Toys. 

My look for that day. No eyelashes, but I love those lenses and will wear them till they turn to dust (or expire)!

My date eating gelato and looking like a whole snack♥

After our shopping trip to the mall we went for a quick snack and to finish shopping for presents to bring back. We had to run to the airport after waiting forever for our Uber. The flight was short, so we were home by 9PM again. 

Overall, I think it was a fun short trip. I wish I had more time to enjoy trips like these, but I do what I can with my weekends and this current situation. I am happy to have had this opportunity to travel with my partner. I wish for us to have more world trips and that we can both be tourists. This year if things get better we might go to NYC. I will try my best to not eat spicy food and to get in better shape to walk the city with no problems!

Hope you all had a happy V-day or to at least have had a nice weekend. Remember to take care of yourself and your loved ones regardless of the day of the year!♥ 

Tell me about how it go for you! I'm super interested!

XOXO!

Couple's Keychain Easy Fun DIY

 

I can't believe it's already going to be V-day! I am lucky enough to spend it with my partner for the second year in a row. I used to be really unlucky and even though I also think it's good being single, I feel happy to be cheesy for once in my life! This year we decided to make some couple DIYs together and avoid crazy presents. So please take this idea as something to do for fun with friends and even just for yourself.

The idea started because we have been going to Daiso pretty often. In our last trip we found these clear keychains meant for little photos.

The idea is just to find everything you have already to decorate. I had this sheet of purikura stickers from our first Pride Parade together in LA♥ I normally just put the sheets on my wall, but they are too cute to not show off! Also you can use stickers, markers and even glitter! Whatever crosses your path will do 

               

Found super cute stickers on my shopping trip to Daiso, but I also found some things within my stationary collection! We set up our mini table to start writing some cute messages to each other. We also fought a lot because there was only one pair of scissors lol.

I chose pink and red for my theme (of course) and used the lid of the keychain to measure my paper size. Added the message and some cute non-sense stickers. 

The front is this two of my fave shots from that session, plus milkshakes because we love to go out and eat! We found some holo glitter that I had for some reason and sprinkled a little on top. I think that glitter covers up my messiness. 

And the final result! I love how they look together! 

I know it's not super elaborate, but it was fun to made and a cute memento to show off how cute we are!

Also, it reminds me of those tiny little purikura albums they used to sell back in the day.

Do you have more ideas of what to do with purikura sheets? Please let me know in the comment bellow! I would also love to know what are your plans for this weekend!

Next post might be more V-day stuff, but I hope you liked this one for the time being♥
