I am wishing you all a great start to 2013! Hope you all had a great Christmas and New Years with your families. I know everyone is quick to make resolutions, but what I hope for all of you is that you find the courage to get off the beaten path and follow your dreams. You won’t know how amazingly fulfilled you will feel once you do. So good luck to you all!!

Anywho, back to how I spent my 12 days of Christmas- in my fav place on earth, Southern California. For those of you who have been following me for a while, you’ll remember that my brother recently got married (and gave me the most amazing sister in-law ever!). They are living in San Diego right now, in a gorgeous suburb called La Jolla. They invited her brother and I down for the holidays. San Diego is one of the most beautiful places on earth, it was so hard to leave!

Here is the beach, La Jolla shores, which is like a minute from their place..Gorgeous!

Balboa National Park. One of the more popular parks in San Diego and for good reason to, the buildings were amazing to look at.

We drove up to LA and met Lisa Vanderpump, (one of the cast members on Real Housewives of Beverly HIlls) at her restaurant Sur, which is actually the focus of an upcoming reality show by her. The food was deelish and she was so beautiful and TINY!

We continued the road trip to my 2nd fav place on earth, Vegas!! I’ve never been for New Years, so this was a treat. They shut down the strip and let everyone fill the streets for the countdown. There were so many people everywhere, it was like a scene out of a movie!! After the countdown many of the hotels set off fireworks.

Vegas was so beautifully decorated for Christmas, just take a look at the giant tree in the Bellagio!

One of the nights we went to a club called Haze where we saw John Legend perform. He is simply amazing and so good live.

Me and the fam. Had such an amazing time with them, can’t wait to go back 🙂

What were you all upto over the holidays?
