And the Best Buffet in Las Vegas Goes To…

Posted on January 15, 2013 by Raijean S

I consider myself a bit of a food connoisseur, I often tell people if I don’t know anything I know good food! We all know that Las Vegas is the buffet capital of the world! I’ve tried them all from the Bellagio to the Wynn, with everyone claiming their top buffet spot! After trying multiple spots and not really being satisfied, I was about to give up on the whole Las Vegas/Buffet idea! My friends wanted to try one more place, I must admit I was a bit leery but decided to go anyway. After hearing about Bacchanal at Caesars Palace we decided … Read More

Event: Grand Opening Davidoff Cigar Lounge

Posted on May 18, 2012 by Raijean S

Yesterday, I was invited to the Grand Opening of the Davidoff Cigar Lounge at the Humidor in Westmont. The Davidoff Lounge is the first of its kind in the U.S. I must admit before last night, I’ve never smoked a cigar before. All that changed last night when I smoked a Davidoff Special R! It took some getting used to but some of the guests showed me the proper way! I felt like one of the boys, I grabbed a glass of rum and enjoyed the rest of my evening! The opening included Chicago Bears Matt Forte and Actor … Read More

You are never too old to keep a diary…

Posted on December 7, 2011 by Raijean S

Life’s not easy, we all know this. I’ve learned as I get older that I keep things bottled up until I’m about ready to explode! If you are anything like me then you don’t always share everything that’s going on in your life, even with your closest friends. What I’ve come to realize is even the strongest person needs someone to talk to, which is why I’ve always loved the idea of keeping a diary. For others keeping a diary is just way too deep, everyday isn’t a soap opera. When I was sent Philipp Keel’s Simple Diary, I loved how their approach was … Read More

Hotel Review: Swissôtel

Posted on September 13, 2011 by Raijean S

This year for my birthday I stayed at the luxurious 5-Star Swissôtel. When I arrived I was greeted by the hotel’s super friendly staff! To my surprise this was waiting for me in my room… When I say this room had a beautiful panoramic view, I’m not kidding! Check out the picture below… Yes, this was the view from my room… Breathtaking isn’t it?? In my rush to get ready, I forgot to snap shots of the bathroom but it was equally as beautiful as my room! After staying at the Swissôtel, I truly understand why they are a top rate … Read More
