A Night at the Reno Rodeo
I am not the biggest rodeo fan, but I do like a good time. I went out with some of my friends to tonight’s Reno Rodeo and had a blast! Watching the events was way more fun than I though it was. Alonso and I had gone awhile back (2-3 years ago) and didn’t have a good time because we didn’t actually go inside to watch the rodeo events.
Tonight, I was able to watch some events that included women, men, and even little kids. The little kids’ event was by far the cutest and my favorite. I posted some videos on my Insta Story here. Don’t forget it is only up for 24 hours! There was some bull riding, some barrel races, and a little bit of everything.
If you ever have the time to go out to a local rodeo event, I would suggest going. It’s a great time as well as great food! I wanted to get my favorite dessert, but I didn’t end up getting it. I usually pick up a funnel cake at rodeo events because they are so delicious! The rodeos I usually attend are in my hometown, Yerington, NV.
In Yerington, the rodeo is a little different and way smaller than they are here in Reno. There is a lot more seating as well as booths in Reno than the one in Yerington. However, I would have to say that the food in Yerington is a lot better! If you live in Reno I would suggest attending the Lyon County Fair & Rodeo in August! It will be hosted in Yerington, NV. My favorite event is the demo derby. There is some information here on what events they usually have.

Some of My Favorite Places to Eat in Reno, NV
I would be lying if I said I was the healthiest blogger out there. It’s so hard for me to turn down food, especially when my friends and I go out. I love trying new places and adding them to my go-to list. The places I am sharing with you are only some of my favorite places to eat. I have so many more, and would love to share them with you all.
Blind Onion
Blind Onion has some of the best pizzas here in Reno. They are mostly my favorite because of their crust. They have honey and use it as a dipping sauce for the crust. It may sound super weird, but it’s delicious! I love coming here because they have Chicken Alfredo pizzas and even a Chicken Parmesan one, which are my favorite ones I always order. Their wings are also really good, let’s just say I love everything there.
Jüs
I like to stop here after I go to the gym or mornings with my best friends. They have some of the best fresh smoothies an acai bowls. I like how fresh they are and super tasty as well. Some of my favorite things from them are the Strawberry Bliss smoothies and the strawbery acai bowls.
The Depot
This is a great place to go out with your friends and grab some drinks or hang out. They have games to help keep you entertained. Their food is amazing, and not to mention their interior design. It is a very appealing place, especially for some “insta pics”. One of my favorite plates to get there is the Chicken Sandwich, it’s yummy!
Süp
I love stopping here during my lunch break because it is right in Midtown. They have some of the best soups and sandwiches in Reno. They have outdoor seating, perfect for the spring and summer time. They also serve very quickly! My go-to order is The Club Sandwich and I occasionally order the Chicken Tortilla Soup, it is also one of my favorites.These are four of my favorite places to eat in Reno, NV.

Three Favorite Recipes from Laura Vitali
When I first started watching YouTube videos I could not stop watched Laura Vitali. All of her videos are super delicious. She shares some of the most amazing recipes, especially Italian food. I think one of the hardest things to do is deciding what to eat. My boyfriend and I like all types of food, but growing up in a Mexican home I was only accustomed to Mexican food. I had to resort somewhere else to learn other types of recipes. Don’t get me wrong, I always call my Mom when it comes to her Mexican recipes.
Laura Vitali shares different types of recipes, from Italian, Mexican, desserts, and even appetizers. That is why I truly recommend watching her videos because she shares a little bit of everything. I wanted to share with you most of the recipes I have tried and like from her. I also don’t always follow the recipes and end up adding my own taste.
Chicken Tortilla Soup
I follow this recipe pretty well and have to say it is by far the best one. We love making soup for nights that are cold. That really doesn’t happen in the summer, but this past Monday it was very cold, it even started raining. We made it and it was really good as always. Most of the time we don’t use a jalapeno, but if we do we only include a couple of pieces. I don’t like spicy things because my tongue gets very sensitive.
Alonso and I have not made these in awhile, now that I think about it. They are so delicious and I never knew there was such an easy way to make them. It was one of those, who would’ve known? moments. I also like how quick it takes to make them. A lot of the times, I think we assume it is easier to just eat out instead of making our own food. It may take a little longer from washing the dishes, but it’s still quick.
If you know me personally, you probably know how much I love pasta. It isn’t the healthiest but it probably is the yummiest. This is one of those easy to do recipes that won’t take much time. I like the sauce that Laura does for this recipe and it all is so authentic. I enjoy making food from scratch. The only thing I dislike about cooking is the dishes part, but you all know that already (lol). Try out the pasta and let me know if you like it just as much.
Those are only some of the amazing recipes that Laura Vitali has on her website and YouTube channel. Let me know in the comments down below what your favorite recipe is!
What apps are on my iPhone?
Let’s first start off by saying, do you all also get a little curious of what apps other people use? I sometimes find value in watching/reading these types of videos/blogs. Some people share some really great apps. I thought I would finally share with you what’s on my iPhone.
Majority of the apps I have I normally don’t use. I tried to share with you most of the apps I do use. Please let me know if you want to see a video about how I edit my photos. I didn’t go into detail with those types of apps because I will save that for later
.
I also use several types of apps for tracking my expenses, coupons, social media, and even my documents. These are some of my favorite apps, Mint, VSCO, Tiny Scanner, and WordPress. They’re not the most exciting but they are what I use most often. Many of the apps I shared on my video I used in college a majority of the time. I still use them every once in awhile but I also don’t want to delete them because I have purchased them. I hope you can find some helpful apps that I shared with you.
The video is down below. Please also make sure to comment what your favorite app is!
IKEA & HOME GOODS HAUL
This past weekend Alonso and I went to a concert in San Jose and stopped on the way back to Ikea and Home Goods in Sacramento. I hadn’t been to their Home Goods before, only Ikea, and it probably became one of my favorite places. In Reno, we have a T.J.Maxx and a Home Goods all in one store. It only has a couple of home decor items and the other half has clothing and the regular items in a T.J.Maxx.
Our intention wasn’t to purchase a ton of home items because we didn’t take the appropriate car. However, I was able to get a couple of little items to decorate around our home. I need to make a trip to Ikea soon to pick up some bigger pieces. The only thing that gets in the way are our floors. We have to redo them but it takes a lot of time and money, of course. We don’t want to purchase a lot of new items if we have to still be moving around the furniture when the floors get done. This is for sure on the bucket list!
Who else struggles with decorating their home? I hope I’m not the only one. This is why it’s such an ongoing process. At times you want to work on the kitchen then you want to work on the living room, bathrooms, etc. I can never make up my mind. This is why things are only halfway finished.
The video below has all of the items we purchased this last weekend. It certainly is a mini haul since we didn’t pick up many items. I’m excited about putting together our home to the way we want it.Please leave a comment down below what your favorite place to decorate in your home is?
