My sister and I visited Las Vegas for Intersect Festival this past December and while we were there I thought it would be fun to shoot some Valentine’s themed photos for my Instagram! There are so many cute, vintage chapels, clubs, and motels in the Fremont area of Vegas. This is the area that used to be the main strip before the new strip was built! There were tons of great photo spots in this area.

I thought my valentine of six years deserved something a little special this year, so I gifted him an exquisite assortment of Ferrero Golden Gallery Signature chocolates. I don’t think anyone loves chocolate more than Schyler and I, and Ferrero has always been one of our favorites so naturally it was the perfect choice!

I’m so excited to announce that we are MOVING TO NASHVILLE! Schyler and I have lived in Portland, OR for about 4 years, two of which my sister Rocio lived with us. Recently, she moved to Los Angeles to pursue her dream of becoming an actress! We had been going back and forth for awhile now on whether or not we should stay in Portland or if we should move. Portland is such a cool city and there is so much we love about it but unfortunately for us, the cons outweighed the pros.

For the past three months, I’ve been visiting Root Whole Body for massage, acupuncture, and cupping! Read more about my experience with Root Whole Body here. I’ve had back problems since I was a pre-teen due to manual labor on my parent’s farm as a kid. Over the years, my back pain has gotten worse since my job requires me to sit at a desk on a laptop. I’ve heard great things about the benefits of acupuncture and cupping so I decided to try them out (combined with massage) to see if my back felt any better!
