Delicious Fox Restaurants Take Over

Phoenix is home to the Fox Restaurant Concepts headquarters owned by Sam Fox. Fox has gone on to create 15 progressive and unique dining concepts in seven different states. But lucky for Phoenix residents, they have the chance to experience all of them. There are a number of restaurants to choose from, but these happen to be my favorite from Fox Restaurant Concepts.

Colbert Nails His Late Show Debut

I have to admit that I was a little weary of Stephen Colbert taking over The Late Show. I am a big fan of Colbert and loved The Colbert Report. So I was afraid Colbert would change his ways, but I am happy to see that he is the same Stephen Colbert we all know and love. Over 6.6 million viewers tuned into the debut of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. David Letterman was the host of the show from[...]

Have you Seen Straight Outta Compton?

It has been a couple of weeks since Straight Outta Compton hit theaters, but I finally had a chance to see the film and I was very impressed. I had heard that the movie was extraordinary and the best movie of the summer, but I did have my doubts. After walking out of the theater, I agree, it was phenomenal and might even be the best movies of the YEAR. The movie takes viewers on a journey throug[...]

Anyone Else Obsessed With Orange Is The New Black?

I know I am a little late to the party, but I just started watching Orange Is The New Black a few days ago. I am only on season 2, but I can’t stop watching it. The Netflix series premiered in July of 2013 and became an overnight sensation. If you haven’t seen it yet, I suggest you start watching it. It just released the 3rd season in June and I am excited to know that the fourth season is sched[...]

My All-Time Favorite Las Vegas Hotels

Growing up in Lake Havasu City, Arizona, I didn’t live far from Las Vegas. I have been to Sin City hundreds of times. There is so much fantastic shopping and events, but the best part of Las Vegas is the glamorous hotels. I have been fortunate enough to stay at various hotels, but these happen to be my favorite on the Las Vegas Strip. Venetian The Venetian is probably my absolute favorite hotel t[...]

Magic Mike XXL Delivers a Big Package

I saw Magic Mike XXL last night and let me tell you, it was everything I had hoped for. It was such a fun movie to see with a girlfriend and we laughed until our faces hurt. There were a lot of funny parts and it was more entertaining than I thought it would be. The first Magic Mike came out in 2012, but I didn’t see it until last year. I never wanted to see it because I thought it was just going[...]

Jurassic World and Chris Pratt Nailed It

I have wanted to see Jurassic World since I first heard about the film. I know it has been out for a couple weeks, but I just haven’t had the chance to go see it. I finally got the opportunity last night and it was well worth the wait. Jurassic World takes place 22 years after the attack at Jurassic Park. The first time I actually saw Jurassic Park was back in 2010. You could say I am behind the t[...]

Altered States: My Sensory Deprivation Tank Review

Let me preface this by saying: I am really, really good at stress. While I find meditation, yoga, and what have you really interesting (and have read my fair share of books on the matters), I  have a hard time establishing any sort of routine. While surely one day I might be able to wake up and smell the roses, for now (sadly)  it's surfing groupon for deals which I can spend the remaining rations of[...]

KeraGreen Review

To kick off this KeraGreen review: everyone who doesn't have curly hair thinks it's the world's biggest blessing. On the contrary, curls are the bane of our existence for many of us poofy heads. While I've embraced my thick messy hair for most of my short years on this planet, there comes a time when you need to change things up, so naturally, I committed hair rebellion: I started flat ironing my man[...]
