So a few weeks ago the husband and I booked our first trip to Las Vegas. Weare pumped Not that we are big gamblers or anything, but there is something about the lights of the city that just has me fascinated. With Vegas on the brain... I can't help but think of traveling essentials.Here is what's inspiring me lately...Enjoy!
1. My Canon Rebel is a must. Especially with all there is to see in LV...can't leave home without this.
2. . Wow, I LOVE these. Perfect size for carry on...and they are great to use as way to freshen up after a long day of traveling.
3. Mud Pie make up bag. This bag is perfect for flights because it has a clear pouch {TSA approved} that snaps off. I love it! Thanks to a student of mine I will be toting my makeup in style.
4. Apple iPad. Is there really anything that needs to be said? Amazing. Let's just say Vegas Vacation will be downloaded for our viewing pleasure as we board the aircraft.

The Secrets Out
Some of the best keep {beauty} secrets are the ones we know about! After working in a salon for the past 7 years {summer job aside from teaching} and being a product junkie, I have literally tried hundreds of different beauty products. Sadly, I tend to fall for all the gimmicks. However, I have narrowed it down to my favorite products that imitate the real thing. I was inspired to write this post after spending a few days in the salon and having many customers & friends ask me about the products I use. This by no means is all that I use, but it's definitely what people tend to ask about most!Enjoy!
1. St. Tropez Self Tanning Mousse and VS Beach Sexy Self Tanning Lotion {These are worth the $$ and one application will last about a week.} 2. Lip Venom and Lip Injection{You will feel it working immediately. Can be worn alone or under lipstick/gloss} 3. Lancome ...
