Sparkly Lights to a Valdizzy Night
Hi guys 😀 Hope you’ve had an awesome day.
Mine has been a doozy. Something about traveling takes the life out of me– especially since both flights were BuMpY!
Goodbye to the city of lights… You were good to us 😀
Coming home is always a little blah, but when you get to see a face like this 
And this
(Viessy was smiling at me)
It makes everything better 😀
Here are some of the eats from today:
Larabar on the plane
Oatmeal + supplies
I LOVE green Vega oats 😀
Peppermint tea
Chocolaahhhhhhhte
And when I walked through the door to the casa, the first thing on my mind was VEGGIES
My current favorite beast: Salad with Creamy Dijon Basil Dressing and Millet Croutons
I took it kinda easy with the food because Ashley is on her way over to do the Insanity Fit Test with me. All of the hopping and jumping wouldn’t bode well with a food baby. After our workout, it will definitely be DINNERTIME 😀
Thanks so much for hanging out during our Vegas adventure. I know it’s more interesting to read about everyday stuff on blogs (for me at least.. it kind of makes it like Reality TV), but I’m back now and irregular posting will resume tomorrow. I’ll also start to tackle my inbox mountain.
See ya in the morning with a fun goal for the day <3
Off to get INSANE 😀
Gina

I am glad you are safe home!! 🙂 you said that you will mention at what hotel did you stay? Thank you!
oops! i forgot haha. the flamingo 🙂
we upgraded our room though, which is why it was all funky and austin powers-ish
hmm i have vega smoothie packs and oatmeal.. maybe i should try green oats- tempting.
mint is my fav chocolate flavor from green and blacks! love it after a long run to give my brain a quick boost!
xoxo
I know what you mean about being blah when you get home, I get the same way and I don’t live in Valdosta! I can’t wait to hear more about Insanity. Question do you need any equipment for it besides your body weight?
nope it’s all body resistance!
Hahaha I think of blogs like reality TV, too. We are crazy. 🙂
I like everyday stuff, but at least we all got a little vacay with you! Inspired me to plan my own vegas vacation!
i want to move to georgia i love Atlanta!!!! that airport i huge!!!!
When I first read the post title, I thought it said “Vajazzling,” and I got nervous… Hahaha. Nope! Just read it wrong.
Have fun being INSANE! That salad looks NOM NOM NOM.
hahah vajazzling. what is that??? my imagination is wandering 😉
Have fun being Insane! Hahaha! Love the review of Mesa Grill by the way…I may have to check it out next weekend when we’re there!
Glad you made it home safely!!! And glad you had a great time with the pilot!
WELCOME HOOOOOOME!! 🙂
welcome home gina! your trip sounded amazing, but i bet it’s nice to be back in the routine 🙂
Awww…coming home to my dogs after a trip is always the best part of my day! Love!
back to reality haha!
I can’t believe you are working out when you had a loooong flight the same day! Traveling just drains me way to much to do that.
Glad you made it home safely. Looking forward to a new week of fun/workouts/eats. Have a great night!
Gah…Viesa’s smile is too cute for words. Glad you made it back safe and sound!
Ahhh…I love your blog. It’s so sweet and feel-goody:) perfect thing to read before falling asleep….and possibly the first thing i read at work before i even check my inbox:) g’nite!
thanks emily!
hope you had a great night <3
Hope the fit test went great! Glad you had a blast in Vegas!! “inbox mountain” hehe
I loved your recap of Vegas, it was so much fun! My husband and I leave for our round the world trip in just over 2 weeks and we’ll be in Vegas from May 24 to 28, so seeing your pics made me extra excited!
Looking at prices, we were thinking of the MGM Grande – do you think this is a good place to stay? I’d love to stay at the Bellagio but might be a bit out of our price range seeing as we need our money to stretch over 6 months of travelling… The Flamingo looks fun, would you recommend it?
Thank you! xo
the flamingo was great- we upgraded our rooms though because we heard the reg ones weren’t as nice. mgm grand is awesome (i stayed there when i was a younging) but the only thing is that it’s pretty far down the strip.
Just curious…where do you get those little cups of oatmeal? They’ve got to be better for me than “that big brand” Instant Oatmeal (and since every time I try to make steel-cut oats on the stovetop, they come out like little bits of rubber in a pool of slime :p).
Thanks!
I’m pretty sure that’s oatmeal from Starbucks or the bizzle as Gena would say 😀
starbucks 🙂
Glad you made it back in one piece 😉
I ♥ Vegas, mucho. Loved your trip highlights.
What’s the deal-io with the oats you are munching on? Are they your own instant oats portioned out? How do you get it to be the right consistency with no micro? JW– always looking for breakfast ideas other than Lara, Odwalla and Clif when I go on vacay or weekends down shore….
i got them at starbucks- they have wonderful oats 🙂
Glad you had a great vaca!!! So nice of you to post when you’re on vacation!!! 🙂 🙂 I luuuuurrrrve that mint dark choc!!! mmmm
I want to try to Vega protein. I just wish it wasn’t so expensive.
That chocolate looks tasty- I am a sucker for anything MINT & CHOCOLATE.
What did you think? What’s your honest opinion/review?
~Christie
it was good, but not minty enough for me.
Hi Gina! I love to read about your travels too!! Never ever think that we don’t 😀 I love to travel myself and am always happy to read about your trips 😀 Thank you so much for this amazing blog!!!
Welcome home and have loved your Vegas posts..We got married in vegas 10 yrs ago for $199 bucks with plastic flowers and a 24 exposure kodak disposable camera. And they said it wouldnt last. A kid and 10 yrs later. I love Vegas. love the Bellagio. The restaurant there called Michael Mina (formerly Aqua) is my fave restaurant in the entire world. Period. I have loved your trip 🙂
Welcome back. I loved your trip postings–probably because I was living vicariously through you. I agree: Coming home isn’t so fun. Usually there’s a mountain of laundry I need to do, which kills the vacation mood.
Love the puppers pics- and welcome home!
How does the Vega taste? I want to try it, but I’m a bit hesitant… I love green smoothies, but I’m not a fan of “green powder”… and I hate weird textures. Thoughts?
xo
K
it’s kind of chalky, but i think it tastes great
Hmm I think I need to try that Vega powder… I’m just not a fan of my current brown rice protein powder. Plus, anything Brandon Brazier does is pretty fab in my opinion. Happy you made it home safe! Question – what does an insanity fit test entail exactly??
i love all of the vega products 🙂
you do as many reps as you can of one exercise for one minute. you write down how many you did, he gives you 30 seconds of rest, and then you do the next exercise. it’s only 25 minutes, but it’s KILLER
Nothing like a smiling puppy! How cute. We don’t leave our furry child often, he doesn’t eat when we’re gone. Never been to Vegas – I just hate gambling, but from what I hear, there’s plenty else to do. How was your weather? Did you get some pool time in too? I have a difficult time taking vacation – too many deadlines that can’t be missed and I have to try to work around everyone else’s time off . . . so I live vicariously thru you! Thanks for all the great pictures!

i got the oats this morning, and it just me or are the sbucks banananananas so bruised lately?? mine looked just like yours!
haha that banana had traveled with me from vegas.. it got a little banged up in my purse 🙂
LOL your puppies do look like they’re smiling at you!
I cannot get over how green your oatmeal sludge is! Yummy? 🙂
I agree that every day posts are generally more entertaining (which is kind of ironic, really), but I enjoyed your Vegas posts! That could simply be because is was VEGAS, though… 😉
