Happy #thinkingoutloud Thursday! No idea what I’m going on about? Click here!
1. Hello, hello from the balmy Nevada dessert! 😀
2. You guys… it legit took me around 5 hours to pack for my trip…
… but before you go calling me high maintenance, I should probably mention that I only pack packed for about 30 minutes — the rest of that time was devoted to basically spring cleaning my closet entire home. Apparently I found a lot of stuff that I wanted to get rid of while I was looking for stuff I wanted to pack 😯
3. I also had to make sure that my home was fruit-fly-proof before I left so that I wouldn’t have to deal with clouds of flies when I got back like last time when I went to Utah. Spike and a little bowl of ACV + dish soap should keep my kitchen safe…
4. AND… unlike last time, I actually remembered to bring the dinner that I packed for myself this time around rather than prepping it and leaving it on the middle shelf of my fridge. I’m actually eating it as I type up this part of my post [from the airport]. Function over form, friends… Function over form.
5. Aaaaaand judging by the shouts coming from the bar, apparently someone just scored in the soccer game between Argentina and Holland. Let me see if I can find out what’s going on… Okay. Argentina scored on a penalty shot. Go team! (<– I’m cheering for whoever wins 😉 )
6. Back to food… I need to send a huge thanks to Buzzfeed for featuring my Almond Butter Pretzel Truffles in their pretzel recipe roundup! Man I really need to make those things again…
7. But I think I’ll be okay with food for now because… this:
Whole Foods was conveniently located on the way from the airport to our hotel, and you’d better that my Canadian self hit that sucker up asap…
8. … mostly for a few jars of this, obviously 😉
9. And I apologize if this post is a little on the shorter side, but you guys know I’m not so great at blogging while I travel, so I’m going to take the next couple of days off and enjoy my time in Vegas. See you soon! 😀
No questions… just tell me whatever comes to your mind! 😀

Hope you’re having a ton of fun in Vegas!
You pretzel truffle bites are SO on point. I LOVE them. My coworkers loved them too ;). I hope you’re having a blast, your packing situation sounds like something I would have done too! HA!
Have fun in Vegas! Those truffles are on my to do list.
Ahh and to think we were just one week off from being in Vegas at the same time. I had a blast there, so I can’t WAIT to hear all about your adventures!
We seriously need Justin’s in Canada – the cross border shopping is hurting my gas tank.
I can’t contain the exciiitement and emotion from the fact that Argentina is so so close to bringing home the gold! As you might/not remember, I’m from Argentina and although I’m Korean blooded, my heart will always belong in the southern continent. 😀 And I like how you’re using a yogurt container for your meal. Cost-friendly, eh? 😉
Even though I have a WF in the city next to mine, I still get so excited when I go to a WF in the US. I love seeing the different variety of products they have.
Have a fun vacation! 😀
Oh my gosh, have SO much fun!!! I seriously love Vegas (and I hate gambling…) and I’ll be there in about a month 🙂 Get yourself to Serendipity – best frozen hot chocolate and huge sandwiches EVER. And there’s a rum bar that has very tasty mojitos if you’re looking to get some more mint into your diet 😉 hehehe!
I honestly love these link ups cause I’m finding blogs that I would have never found otherwise!
That is the ultimate score, finding a WF or TJ’s on the way to your hotel 🙂 I’m in need of a serious clothes purging as well. I started the other day, but didn’t put my all into it. I think tonight just might be the night!
Those Almond Butter Pretzel Truffles look freaking amazing!!!! It’s not even 5 pm and I am starving already… thanks… LOL! Just kidding 🙂 I need to try to make them, my hubby will be delighted!
Enjoy your trip!
Ummm, so many things about this post. A) spring cleaning while packing is the best, B) your prepped dinner looks suuuuper yummy, C) YAY on the Buzzfeed feature and those amazing pretzel truffles!! I need to make those ASAP. Have a great trip, beauty! Xox
That is an AWESOME shot from the plane! Vegas is crazy. I was there in April a few years ago and it was baking -I can only imagine how freaking hot it must be in the summer. Yowza.
I just got back from Europe and I wish I bought another suitcase so I could have filled it with beer, coffee and bread. OMG.
Those truffles look amazing! Have a great time in Vegas! ‘ll be there in a few months!
So, can I pay you to bring me back some Justin’s?! Ever since I started blogging I’ve been DYING to try the stuff, but there are no trips to the US in sight. 🙁 sigh.
Have so much fun in Vegas! Although, going to the dessert in the middle of the summer?! Girl, you are a crazy person. 🙂
Yay for Justin’s!! Whenever I see people buying/eating the maple and vanilla ABs I get really happy. I must love it or something 😉
Gah I love that vanilla almond butter! I really wish I could get it at Sprouts. I never go to the Whole Foods where I live because it’s sooo busy. womp. :/ Have a great time in Vegas!!
I’m so happy for you for that Buzzfeed feature! It’s really exciting to see Spoons just keep growing, growing, growing 🙂 Have fun in Vegas!

Those truffles look so good!! Yay for Whole Foods!!! I too, am hoping I can get to one this weekend when we go to Milwaukee. I want to try & find some of those Kit bars. Gotta love Justin’s nut butters too, so good!! Have a great time in Vegas! 🙂
Haha, that’s the Whole Foods I go to whenever I have to work in Vegas. Love that it’s so close to the airport. Have fun!
By the way, I’ve never heard of that ACV + dish soap trick. I’m intrigued!
Between the trap and spike, I think your home should be pretty safe. Congrats on the Buzzfeed feature!! I basically always poop my pants from excitement when that happens. Wait… did I really say that out loud? Oh well. This is a TOL post anyway 😉
Have a great time! Try not to lose all your money or get married. Or both. 😉
Eeep! Have a great time! I’m glad you made it safe and sound. :o)
If my favorite teams aren’t in the “big game”, I’m usually in the “Go, Team!” mindset, too! Except if it’s like a huge team rivalry, of course. Then, Boo!!!
Stock up on ALL.THE.NUT.BUTTERS!
Look at you with that prepped dinner! It looks better than most of the day-old meals sitting in airport cafes, that’s for sure.
That happens to me sometimes when I’m packing too. I look for things I want to bring with me, but then I find a lot more things I would NEVER want to bring with me. Thus the clean-out begins!
Have an absolute blast in Vegas, Amanda!! 🙂
Awww, I’m going to miss your posts while you’re away but I’m so happy for you to have a great trip and take a bit of a break from the blogging world! Have fun, I can’t wait to hear all about your adventures when you get back! 🙂
Have SO much fun on your trip and don’t get sidetracked by too many male strippers! (I kid, I kid.)
I feel the exact same way about the world cup… except I’m not even rooting for any team. ooops.
You can’t get Justin’s in Canada? That’s silly! They’re losing money. Have fun in Vegas!
