Welcome back for the Featured Friday! A little business to business love for some of my dear friends. Not only do I feature them, but I actually have used thier services and highly recommend them.

This week, Meet Michelle! 


Michelle is a baker and I actually had her bake my Gender Reveal cake. It was absolutely amazing. I couldn't be more happy and she's got many other clients that will agree with me. Here's a little background on her.

Since I've known her for years, I didn't know how long she had officially been in business. So I had a mini interview with her, get to know how great she is and some features of her work; because let's face it, baking is an art! I know I can't do it! 

Q: How long have you been in the business?

A: "I've been baking since I was a teenager, but I didn't decide to make a business out of it until about 4 years ago. I use to bring cakes and cupcakes to work all the time, then one day I was approached by a co-worker and asked if I could do a baby shower for about 75-100 people. I had never done anything of that caliber before, but I was really excited to try.  I had so much fun and received so many compliments that I decided start doing it has a side business!"

Q: You're most memorable moment and/or client?

A: "Honestly, they are all memorable! Every cake I do ends up becoming my favorite. But the one that stands out the most should have to be the Disney Cars cake. I was such a huge request and I was really nervous that I wouldn't get it right. It came out AMAZING and my clients son really loved it! She said it still talks about to this day! And of course I can't forget my one of my favorite clients... My 4 year old nephew, Aden. I've been making his (and his sister's) cakes every year since his first birthday. Now, instead of his mom asking me to make his cakes, he does. He always knows exactly what he wants! He definitely puts my skills to the test!"

Famous Cars Cake

Q: You're favorite part about the job?

A: " I love everything about the job! It a stress reliever for me. Some people have wine, I have baking (and maybe a little wine also)! I love the challenge. And I especially love to see my clients reactions when I deliver their orders! "

Q: Okay Michelle, were hooked, how do we get a hold of you?

A: "I accept orders via calls or text at 702-503-2714. You can also check out my virtual portfolio via Instagram @tastefully_inkd_cupcakes "

Q: And since I'm quirky, let's hear a fun fact about yourself?

A: " I've always felt as though I had zero creative talent. I can't draw to save my life, I'm only crafty if I have step by step visual instructions (or if I can copy people). But put a piping bag filled with frosting in my hand and something magic happens! My inner Marta Stewart comes out to play! "

As you can see, she has so much talent, and to top it off, it all tastes amazing too! As I said before, I'd highly recommend her. Go check out her Instagram

I've added some of her work just to get a sneak peek below!

With only one week left before it's Halloween, some may still not have plans! But have no fear, I've compiled a list of events going on this coming up week and Halloween Day! 



If you're all adults or adults with older children, here's what's in store (links to more info in red);

Fright Dome at Circus Circus

Every year Circus Circus changes over the Adventuredome theme park into a Frightening Halloween thriller until Nov. 1. With 25 rides, live shows and 6 haunted houses, this scary treat is sure to put you in the halloween spirit. Please note, with all the scary rides and shoes, this isn't recommended for kids under 12.

Freakling Brothers Trilogy of Terror

If you love haunted houses, then this would be the stop for you. With the three scariest houses of all time, if you're even up for it, there's a Victim Experience. I'm not a HUGE fan of haunted houses, but it's getting all the rave reviews. Again, this isn't recommend for anyone under 17. In fact, you even have to sign waivers. 

Bars around town hosting halloween events;

Revolver at Sante Fe Station: Angels & Demons costume contests
Railhead at Boulder Station; Free drink if you dress like a Rockstar!
Ghostbar; come in Killer costumes.
Hakkasan; Transforms and is expected to hand out cash prizes for sexiest costumes
Minus5 Ice Bar; Receive a complimentary shot by showing up in your best costume.


Now if you have little ones, such as myself, you might wonder what we can do with the children. Have no fear, I have a list for that as well!

Haunted Shark Reef

Sharks are already spooky, but now with frightening tunnels and spooky music, it's all around fun for everyone. Friday, Oct. 28th, kids under 12 in costumes receive free admission and sweet treats!

Springs Preserve Haunted Harvest

Spooky fun for all ages with Trick or Treat stations, carnival games, petting zoo and live entertainment. They even offer a train ride down the trails. If you've ever been to Springs Preserve, it's a BIG trail, and a little ride would be a fun treat.

Town-Scary Halloween

Town square turns into Town Scary on Halloween. Another all ages event on Halloween to take your children to a safe trick-or-treating environment. Participating stores start at 4.00 pm - 7.00 pm and you'll see contests, bounce houses, rock wall. Bring your bag for some fun!


Now that you've hopefully got a little list of what's going on around town. So, where will you be this Halloween?

Welcome to my Featured Friday section! I'm trying a new section to feature some of my most favorite small business owners, places, locals. Let's face it, who doesn't love a little business to business love. 

Meet Cindy! 



Cindy has been doing my hair for a little over 35 years now. I made the mistake of leaving her once, and I had to tail between my legs back. Before I met Cindy, I box dyed my hair as my original hairdresser left the state. Plus, I changed my hair color more often than most, so I figured, why not just do it myself. BAD IDEA! 

My first appointment, I had to take it slow, I had box dyed, bleached, black, glue in extensions and hacked everything off. She brought it back to life, normal color and time and it was finally there. I still happen to change my hair way too much, but she sticks with me. I've gotten so many compliments on my hair, blonde, brown and even purple that I wanted to make her my first Featured Friday Business Owner.

Currently, she resides in The Body Spa Salon in Henderson. I honestly believe that she moved further away from me on purpose (just kidding, but really...ha).

She's also done my husband's for 15 of those years! So she not only has the art of Women's, but Men's hair too. I also asked Cindy what her favorite part of the business was and for her, it's doing color. She feels it changes someones entire appearance. 

I have to agree with her on this one, plus that feeling I personally get when were done and she taken off the cape like a big reveal. Who doesn't love a great hair dresser that is amazing at color! 

Her most memorable moment; " Would have to be when I passed all my tests and was asked to educate for Paul Mitchell, love learning and teaching other stylists."

Even that alone is amazing. Being asked to teach new stylists just goes to show you her passion, dedication and skills to he profession. I wouldn't have it any other way and maybe you've been thinking for a change, now is the time!

You can reach out to me for her information at the number below!

NHL Comes to Las Vegas

This past weekend, I had the pleasure of attending the first ever NHL in Las Vegas at the new T-Mobile Arena. The Frozen Fury, LA Kings vs. The Dallas Stars. Now mind you, I've never really watched Hockey, even on TV, but my husband and I decided to go out for date night. He mentioned it and I thought, why not? Maybe I'll become a Hockey fan. 

Walking up to the arena, it looked like a giant stadium from one I remember in LA when I went many many years ago. They hadn't had something like that in Vegas. Known for its glamour, lights, casinos and showgirls, not stadiums. It was a sight to see. Inside, just as enticing as the outside. It was huge, it looked even bigger inside than outside when you're driving past it. Walking around, the different vendors, bars, restaurants, it just kept going. It was clean, staff was friendly and with hockey jerseys everywhere, I was getting super excited! 

Finding our seats, we ended up in the Jack Daniels Lounge. Already note to self, I will be buying all my event tickets in this section. It has a separate bathroom and food/bar area. Even a statue of Mr. Daniel himself to take pictures with. (which I of course included). We some hoe managed seats close enough to the bottom, only 6ish seats up from the ice; that we could watch the teams walk in. You can see from my pictures below, we were close. 

The announcers get you ready for the event, the food, actually really good and the best part. The main event. Again, not seeing hockey much, I wasn't sure what to expect. I'm a football fan, so I figure I'd enjoy it. Right out of the gate, puck flying, sticks slapping and fans, not yet drunk shouting. It was by far one of my favorite sporting events. As the periods continued, it only got more exciting for me. Not as many penalties as football, and way more fights. With fists being thrown, helmets off, definitely one of my new favorite sports.

Since NHL has made the decision to come to Las Vegas, I can say that I'm officially a fan! Since we don't know the name yet, only partial, I'm a Knights fan now. Just waiting on my jersey. Season tickets coming soon, the Frozen Fury has converted me. Watch out hockey, you have a new fan! 







With all the new homes coming on the market everyday, sometimes the good ones get looked over. This home has a little bit everything! 

Old Las Vegas charm, 1/2 an acre, corner lot, no HOA and horse property! This home truly has it all. It has been recently upgraded with a ton of custom features. All stainless steel appliances and breakfast bar and granite everywhere with custom cabinets. Outside the oasis continues with a pool 1/2 bath and an entire outdoor kitchen with built in BBQ, refrigerator and sink! 

Take a look at some of the pictures below.

Southern Highlands. The master planned community in Las Vegas with parks, splash pad, tennis courts, hiking and walking trails and even a dog park. I just had the pleasure of touring the Lennar Homes, The Legends the other day, which are located in a gated community. With 14 new models and prices starting at high $300's, I can't imagine these Everything's Included homes will last long.

With Southern Highlands expanding, now is the perfect time to get in! Located just 10 minutes from the strip, it's the city living without all the city if you don't want it. Southern Highlands also has a variety of schools, public and private with our elementary school receiving the Blue Ribbon award this year! (Go Stuckey!)   

When walking in the front door to the first model, I felt at home. With an-open floor plan, and 9' ceilings, the space felt inviting and grand. The kitchen opened up to a combined family and dining area, great for entertaining. It by far had the largest island, with built in wine holder & stainless steel appliances. I sent a picture to my husband actually, telling him we needed to move. Granite countertops, backsplash, raised panel cabinets with upper crown moulding, what more could you ask for! 

The backyard comes with a covered paver patio, with a built in fireplace. Yes, comes with! Upstairs the functionality continues, walking up to the loft and room for 4 larger bedrooms. An enormous laundry room with extra storage. The Master bedroom, separate from the others, includes a large walk in closet and separate tub & shower. Continuing around upstairs I noticed that all the bathrooms included cultured marble countertops and raised vanities. 

The other two models did not disappoint. With the same inviting entryway, gorgeous kitchens, you couldn't help but fall in love. (At least I know I couldn't!).

Overall, Lennar went above my original expectations and I hope to take more clients out to view these homes. I myself will be touring a few more of their properties so that I can take my clients with confidence that they will be buying the home of their dreams. With gorgeous exteriors and functional and impressive interiors, they are not just building a house; they are making it a place where you can call home.

For more details, call me today!
