Most people who know me know that my birthday is a pretty big deal for me. I have no clue why I love it so much but I do. I won't deny that the excitment of my birthday isn't quite the same as it was when I was younger. Still, I look forward to my special day.

I decided to celebrate in Vegas this year. It's hard to believe that my first time there was 10 years ago. I had a great time! Did the usual gambling and boozing. I got to hang out with some friends and of course had my wonderful beau next to me the whole time. It was really nice to get away for awhile from the everyday routines.

One thing I did do different this time around was catch the Cirque du Soleil Beatles' Love show. It was AMAZING. Words can't express how extraordinary it truly is. I was crying within the first 3 minutes! The excitement and emotions I felt were too much for me to handle. One of the most beautiful parts in the show for me was when they performed Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds. It was simple, yet so beautiful. I had a lot of favorite parts and I don't want to go too much into detail for those who haven't seen the Love show. If your a Beatles' fan you have to see this. It's such a wonderful experience. There was a part in the show where I was crying so much I couldn't see anything! My eyes were filled with tears and I was about to start sobbing loudly. Luckily I managed to catch my breath and avoided making an arse of myself.

    Yes I did! See you should have gone. You have to see it! We're already planning a trip back for summer. We want to take our parents out there and have our mothers see the LOVE show. I think they'll love it!

El Tepeyac Cafe-Boyle Heights Some people freak out when I tell them I love going to restaurants alone. They think it's weird and can't imagine doing it. I find it to be the most relaxing experience ever. I can sit down, enjoy my meal and play with my phone if I choose to. If you've never done this I totally suggest you try it. One thing I've never done alone is go catch a movie. That is definitely on my to do list.

It'Ah Really Is Ah His Birthday!!

This year Mr.Andrade turned the big 3-0. Being the hard worker that he is, he worked on his freaking birthday! I tried to plan something big and extravagant since he was turning 30 but, no dice. Mr. Andrade is a mellow dude when it comes to birthdays so, I had to cave and go with his wishes. Not totally might I add hehehe. The night started with a nice little romantic dinner for two at Frida's in Beverly Hills. The place is very small and very cozy. We enjoyed our meals and service. He had Carnitas and I had Enchiladas Tapatio. To drink I had a Chamoy Margararita and he had a Jack and Coke. Everyone was very friendly and the atmosphere was very low key. Guaranteed we will hit up that spot again. After dinner we went off to meet up with family and friends at a cool little spot called Down & Out. I instantly loved it! Their decor consisted of celebrity mug shots and pin up pictures. Mr. Andrade seemed to like it also, which is what mattered since we were there for him. It w...

Sam getting her hair done by the amazing Amanda. Sami and her faces. This is actually after her second cut. She originally didn't want to cut it so we trimmed it. When Amanda was done Sami started complaining saying it she wanted it like Coraline. Amanda having to cut it, AGAIN. This is when Sami finally was asking for the Coraline cut. Coraline #2 Coraline, we owe you! Most people who know me know that I am not a fan of long hair. I don't like it all. Not saying girls with long hair don't look nice, some girls have gorgeous long locks but they're not for me. I think it has to do with the fact that when I was a kid my pop's refused to let me cut my hair. I use to cry and cry and my dad wouldn't budge. I remember for my second grade pictures I tucked my hair inside my dress and kind of pulled it out a little bit to give the impression I had short hair. I loved those pictures. One day, I think my mom either felt sorry for me or...
