Viva Las Vegas!

It's been a busy couple weeks over here. 
Last weekend I was in Las Vegas & this past weekend I was in Colorado!
I don't travel very often, so it was a little crazy being gone back to back weekends.
But, they were both for fun reasons!
Las Vegas was for the Rodan + Fields convention & Colorado was for my college soccer reunion and they just happened to be right within a week of each other.
Here is a re-cap of my Vegas trip. It was a blast!

Flying out of the Bay Area has the best views, I took this as we were taking off.....check out the Golden Gate Bridge:

I earned an all expense paid trip to our convention, so when I got to Vegas, Rodan + Fields had a driver for me at the airport. I took a photo of him holding my name because that was the first time I have ever had my own driver :)

So excited to be at convention!
I headed straight to the Lead the Way lounge where more gifts were waiting!

There were snacks for us & couches to relax on.

A pretty wall of boxes filled with tieks....

  I got a pair of tieks! My first pair. They are silver.

The girls got tieks, the guys got Cole Haan shoes

I decided to check out the outside lounge area.

I was on the wall of people who reached milestone 5:

There I am!

Awesome view of the pool:

Then it was time to get ready to celebrate my team by going to see O and then dinner.
Here is what I wore that night:

 Shirt  Stitch Fix // Jeans  // Booties // Bracelets

There were 5 other girls from my person team that came to Vegas, so on the first night I wanted to treat them up! O was an amazing show...unlike anything I've ever seen!

After the show we headed to Crush for drinks & dinner

I adore these ladies on my team. Some of us met in person for the first time on this trip! Angie was a blog reader & joined my team 1.5 years ago.  I love how R+F has brought us together.

My meal was amazing...I had the Sea Bass & a side of lobster mac & cheese. AMAZING!

After dinner we hit up the blackjack table for a bit & then went to bed since we had to get up early for our first sessions & the announcement of our new product!

Here is what I wore that day:

Shirt Stitch Fix // Jeans // Booties

My team and I were SO incredibly excited when the new product was announced!

Introducing...

I am SO excited! 

The before and after results from our NEWEST product are incredible! 

 Say goodbye to eye lash extensions.....

I have a feeling these are going to sell out FAST!

Other exciting news is that they launched travel sizes of Redefine for consultants. So excited!

They also announced that in the beginning of 2017 we will be launching another NEW product! I can't wait to find out what it is.

And, for any of my Australian readers....this December you can pre-enroll as a consultant and we officially launch in the beginning of 2017. I have some exciting sign on bonuses for any Australians who join my team. Such exciting times!

I am so grateful for the opportunities R+F has given me.
I swore I would NEVER do direct sales.
But, I am so glad I gave it a shot.
I had never done sales before & I am not a sales person.
But, I fell in love with the product & their incredible results.
I love that we aren't a party company....everything is web based & we don't have to keep inventory.

I can't believe how much FUN this has brought into my life...plus the relationships with the girls on my team is such a huge added bonus!!
If you are looking for something to call your own that you can fit into the nooks & crannies of your busy life, I would love to chat with you to see if R+F is a good fit.

Having fun with some girls on my team:

After our final sessions, it was time for a late lunch.

One of the places I wanted to go to while in Vegas is Gordon Ramsay's BurGR  

 After being there for about 10 minutes, our waiter said that Gordon happened to be in the kitchen!!!!! 

  

Of course I grabbed my phone to go take a photo of him. 

 

He might be a jerk on his show, but he was so friendly and gracious in person & thanked us for coming to his restaurant and took time to chat with people & take pictures with us! 

His sweet potato fries are AMAZING & doused with powdered sugar! 

YUM!

 

And, the burger was one of the best I have ever had....I had the Hell's Kitchen burger.
 

Roasted jalapeños, oven roasted tomatoes & jalapeño pesto aioli

Delicious! I can't wait to go back!

Later that evening, it was time for another team party at one of our leader's roof top.

This is what I wore:

Shirt // Jeans // Booties // Necklace

The views were amazing:

Some girls on our team:

I LOVE my team!!!

Me & Tasha:

So thankful to have these girls in my life!

Such amazing team leaders!

After our team toast, we headed to dinner. Some girls on my team are from Michigan & they ordered this tator tot dish for an appetizer....It was AMAZING. Tator Tot Casserole is not a common food item in California.

I need more Tater Tot Casserole in my life!

After dinner & drinks we headed back to the MGM (where we were staying) a little after midnight. We noticed there was a huge line of people lined up at Hakkasan (a night club at the MGM)

We asked what everyone was in line for & they said The Chainsmokers concert.

They said it started at 1 am (only in Vegas!) 

We went to the club see if there were more tickets & they said yes.

So, the 5 of us decided to go to the concert....It was Epic!

This concert was so fun. We were the oldest ones there. LOL!

We felt like we were in an episode of Bad Moms. LOL!

Such an Epic night, but we were SO tired the next day!

The next day we were up bright and early for more sessions.

Here is what I wore:

Dress // Shoes // Earrings

I had to dress up a little for that session because I got to be on the stage for a bit while they announced those of us who had milestone 5.

Good thing I didn't trip walking in front of 15,000 people!

After the morning session, I had a long break before my afternoon sessions, we went to another yummy place for lunch:

Can you have too many burgers? I think not. LOL. My Shake Shack burger was also good...it was their bacon cheeseburger!

After lunch, I decided to go to the Sports Book and bet $20 on the Colorado vs USC football game

I am not a big gambler. This was the first time I have bet on sports (besides my March Madness brackets, but that doesn't count. LOL)

Well, I am never betting again.  Colorado lost. It's all my fault...I totally jinxed it. ;)

As I was walking back through the MGM....guess who we saw?!?!?!

Ben from the Bachelor!!!! And, Jared & a couple other of his buddies.

They were in Vegas (along with Lauren & some of her friends) filming their Bachelor & Bachelorete weekends for their new series "Ben & Lauren Happily Ever After"

My friend got a photo, but my phone was dead, so I didn't get one! 

It was time for the final afternoon sessions. Here is what I wore to those:

Blazer Stitch Fix  // Top // Jeans // Shoes

There were a lot of outfits that I brought to Vegas! 

On Saturday night we had our gala....this is the dress I ended up getting: 

 

 Dress //Shoes

I loved this dress, so comfortable!

We had a fun night ahead at our Gala....

Red Carpet entrance..

Mario Lopez & Andy Cohen were our hosts for the night!

So fun!

They were very entertaining.

What I was most excited for was the Meghan Trainor concert..just for us at the R+F convention!

Meghan Trainor was SO good in concert!!!!

SO much fun!!!!!

After the concert we were ready for a late dinner....so we got Chicken & Waffles for dinner!

AMAZING. I am now dreaming about this meal almost daily.

It was such a fun weekend, one of the most fun I've ever had!

I can't wait until next year...convention is in Vegas again!

Who's coming with me?!?!
