Hello 2025 and Happy New Year to each and every one of you from the outskirts of fabulous Las Vegas! I’ve been enjoying a few days and the New Years Eve/Day holiday here in the desert with my boyfriend Troy, who only just recently relocated to Henderson, Nevada from Southern California right before Christmastime.

Local Loves: Ultimate Touch

I’m not one to typically “gatekeep” cool and unique locations, businesses and beautiful destinations in around around New England or when I travel out of the Northeast.
