This past week my boyfriend and I stayed at the beautiful The Cape, A Thompson Hotel in Cabo San Lucas. I had seen a lot pictures of the hotel and had heard great things about it, but in person, it was incredible. From the moment we arrived until the moment we left, it was nothing but amazing!
The staff is all incredible and so welcoming, and the actual grounds itself are gorgeous. My boyfriend became best friends with all the staff members by the end of the trip because they are all so nice and entertaining (shoutout to Sebastion!). The lobby/front desk area is all outdoors overlooking the ocean and infinity pool, which is so cool. The decor is super contemporary and unique, which I loved. The hotel is just over a year old, but it still feels brand new, and they make you feel as if you are the only people staying at the hotel. The hotel is secluded, but in a good way to where you feel like you have your own private beach and is not overcrowded like some of the other big hotels in the area.
The concierge service was super helpful in recommending authentic and healthy restaurant options to us, as well as fun activities to do outside of the hotel. We had a great experience at every restaurant they recommended, and never ate a bad meal. They also scheduled and arranged our ATV ride/horseback activity, so we didn’t have to worry about it at all. It was so nice to just be able to tell them what we were interested in doing, and then have them do all of the work for us!
On the main lobby floor, they have an outdoor bar that has really modern seating and a band that plays in the evenings. They also have a gorgeous rooftop bar that has tons of couches and overlooks the ocean and city.
They have two restaurants, The Ledge and Manta. The Ledge had outdoor and indoor seating, both of which are gorgeous. We loved sitting outside for breakfast overlooking the gorgeous ocean and mountains. For breakfast, they had an incredible buffet filled with hot and cold dishes such as fresh fruit (the watermelon and papaya were incredible), granola, fresh juices, pastries, and roasted veggies. They also had some Mexican dishes like enchiladas and Juevos Rancheros. 
Manta is the other restaurant they have on the property, and it is a Mexican and Japanese fusion. Although we didn’t have a chance to eat there, we heard great things about it!
One of our favorite parts of the hotel was the infinity pool. From the pool, you could see the ocean, which had and incredible view of the waves and surfers to watch, as well as the city, mountains, and famous “Arch” in the distance. The main pool also had a really cool bar with seats inside the actual pool to enjoy your drinks. They had a ton of cabanas with really comfy chairs that were complementary, as well as lounge chairs, some even in the actual pool! The hotel also has another smaller pool that is filled with salt water.
Now, for the room! This was probably one of my favorite parts about the hotel. I never thought I would say that because I typically spend the least amount of time in the actual room, but this room was incredible and very well thought out. They use a key scanner to open the room door, so you don’t have to physically insert the key in the door, and they have USB ports all around the room to charge your devices. The bathroom was spacious and had a gorgeous all-glass rain shower, which is definitely more for couples, haha. Having the open shower and separate bathtub made the room feel twice as big, and opened up the space a lot. The room had gorgeous artwork, beautiful floor tile, and a really modern and comfortable bed.
The balcony was amazing because it had a rocking couch that was hanging from the ceiling that was great for reading or just hanging out. We relaxed out there one evening and just listened to the waves and watched the stars (total cheeseball;))
The hotel had a great gym that was usually empty and had a variety of equipment like cable machines, TRX, and cardio equipment. They offered complimentary spa water, healthy snacks, and towels as well. 
The hotel is about 40 minutes from the airport, but you get to see all of the city on the drive up there. It is about 15-20 minutes from the downtown/city area where there is a ton of little shops and cute restaurants and bars.
We didn’t want the trip to end, and we couldn’t have had a better experience. We will definitely be back soon!
PS- shoutout to my incredible boyfriend who took all of my outfit pictures, and did an amazing job! l can be extremely picky, and he nailed it!:)
We are so excited to finally be sharing our Texas getaway to Austin at the 
The room we were staying in was on the 30th floor and on the corner of the floor. Not only was the room absolutely stunning, but the views were AMAZING. The room had huge windows, so you had a great view of downtown and Lady Bird Lake. We could even see where we used to live in college. 
I love the leather headboards. It has a Texas feel, without being overly “western”! 
We are pretty picky about bathrooms, but we loved that this one had a big counter space and the lighting and tiling was beautiful!
We were welcomed with the cutest treat: a chocolate guitar filled with pretzel sticks, and our favorite, macarons!
The views were incredible!
Gotta include my outfit for the car ride since some of you asked about it:
After we got in, we walked around downtown a little bit and ventured off to Whole Foods, of course! We found this super fun tile on the ground, so of course, I had to snap a picture!
I love the rope detailing in the lobby!
The lobby has this gorgeous glass fireplace, which I love!
We had access to the executive lounge, which was huge and stocked with all sorts of drinks and snacks. They also had breakfast and appetizers in the evening to grab!
They had coffee and espresso available all day long, which is perfect for us caffeine addicts! 
For dinner, we went to one of their delicious restaurants, 
Love the beams on the ceiling in the restaurant!
We don’t normally drink, but when we saw this cocktail list, we had to try it out!
Samantha got the Viola Nero, and I got the Rossore. Both so good!
Love when restaurants give you bread with olive oil! So authentic. 
The menu has authentic Italian food, but also offers a variety of gluten free pastas, as well as chicken and fish.
I love that the fish came with roasted vegetables. 
Here is the adorable dress I wore to dinner!
I was amazed at the size of the gym. Not only did it have every piece of cardio you could ever want, it had tons of weight machines, free weights, cables, squat rack, battle ropes, barbells, kettle bells, you name it! 
The weight machines even counted your reps as you worked out, which I had never seen before!
After our workout, of course it was time for breakfast! We headed back to Osterio Pronto, which offers a full menu, as well as a breakfast buffet, which we had.
The buffet had a spread of little bites like these, as well as these amazing looking cinnamon rolls!
They had the cutest mimosa bar filled with fresh juices and fresh fruit. How cute are these bottles and straws?
The buffet also had bacon and sausage, fresh fruit, smoked meats, cereal, made-to-order omelets, yogurt, and pastries. You could also order waffles!
We definitely loaded up and enjoyed every bite! Their coffee was incredible, and we are coffee addicts, so that says a lot! On Sunday, they had a brunch that offered extra things like brisket, which we loved!
After breakfast, we headed to the pool, which overlooks Lady Bird Lake, and has a great bar as well.
We saw a gorgeous sunset that night!
On Sunday, we woke up early, worked out, and had breakfast. We also walked on Town Lake, which is gorgeous! We used to walk on it almost every day when we lived in Austin.
After meeting Jackie, we headed over to the cutest restaurant, Gilligan’s. It’s all nautical themed and had the yummiest food! The table got watermelon margaritas in mason jars (I know, so cute!), margarita pizza, pita and avocado, and Alexis and I got the Branizno, which was amazing!
After dinner and drinks, we all headed back to the Nike venue for the main event. The main focus of the event was to preview the brand new, never before seen, Team USA design and innovation for Rio this year. Within the venue, we saw the latest innovations within both equipment and apparel across all sports such as basketball, track & field, soccer, tennis, golf, and more. We were in such awe of all of the amazing products we saw! Everything from super rich and bright color palettes, material and technology that helps to reduce drag and weight and increase aerodynamics. By the time we had seen everything in the space, we truly knew why Nike is known for obsessing the athlete from head to toe.

The second room was a room full of flyknit kicks all in the same bright neon yellow and pink hues (basically, heaven!). Of course, Alexis and I were completely obsessed with the colors Nike chose! The story behind it is pretty cool, too! Nike imagined athletes’ travel to tropical Brazil and thought about beetle shells. They took the bright and irqedsedent colors as inspiration to create Nike’s new signature unlimited colorway collection. In motion, the bright colors illustrate a glowing path that represents both the athlete’s unlimited abilities and how Nike views the world, “bursting with unlimited inspiration and design possibilities. Even cooler, did you know that FlyKnit technology delivers maximum performance with 60% less waste! More 
Upstairs, they had all of the throwback basketball kicks and gear, and wait for it…basketball legend, Scottie Pippin. So cool, right?! We also got to see the designer collections such as NikeLab + Gyakusou and Nikelab + .
After browsing through the venue and eating some delicious appetizers, we listened to an interview with Jackie Joyner Kersee, Scottie Pippin, and Michael Johnson. They were all so humble and super interesting to listen to!

The next morning, Alexis and I headed to the hotel gym for a quick workout and then walked over to 12 Chairs (so yummy!). We loved that we could walk around to good restaurants! After that, we went back to the hotel to get ready and then walked back to the 
This time was super cool because we got to sit down with one of the Nike designers and got a one on one explanation of EVERYTHING! It was SO interesting! I could have listened all day! I will be completely honest, had I not learned about all of this, I would have just said ‘cute gear,’ but never realized all of the time and innovation behind it. First up, she talked about their most exiting innovation within track & field, track spikes. 
Besides looking super badass, they minimize weight via Nike Aeroswift technology featuring recycled polyester. The fabric is also super breathable with engineered mesh and integrates Nike AeroBlades (formed nodes that channel air around the athlete, resulting in the greatest drag reduction of any Nike track and field kit to date).
Even better, in addition to the gear, Nike came out with leg and arm sleeves, and even adhesive patches with AeroBlades! This technology was in the making for quite some time. They used wind-tunnel testing on mannequins the same shape and size as the company’s various track and field athletes. 
Nike also used the same idea to create a breathable bib made out of perforated micro layer knit with tape instead of the traditional paper and safety pin bib. 
More on that 
She then went into the medal uniforms that all athletes will wear on the stand. 
How cool do they look at night!?
The NikeLab Dynamic Reveal Jacket is ribbed on the arms, which allows for breathability and mobility, and also shows ribbons of red and blue when in motion. The pants also have the same vertical ribbed zone that offers the same breathability and bright patriotic colors when moving. The jacket will be available for purchase later this month. More 
We had a blast! It was a quick but eventful trip! We hope to get back soon!
FINALLY sharing a recap of our trip to LA a couple of weeks ago! In case you missed it, we shared our stay at the Four Seasons Westlake in

I had also gone to another place in Dallas called 
Incredible breakfast at
For dinner on Thursday night, we walked across to 
Here’s a close up of Sam’s seafood grill.
Our mom flew in on Friday and met us near our hotel since we had so much to do Friday morning. We ended up eating at Lure again because we loved it so much, and of course, our mom loved it as much as we did! We got the Spring Chopped Salad with no dressing, and just used olive oil and vinegar on the side. 
When we went again for lunch, I ordered the same thing because I loved it so much. I know what I like;)
After driving over an hour back to LA from Westlake, we went to Beverly Center to shop a little, but surprisingly, we didn’t find anything to buy. Maybe it’s because we were so hungry and tired. Our mom even suggested we go to the hotel to relax and take a nap, and we both were like, “NO WAY” haha. No way are we going to spend our time on vacation taking a nap in the hotel!
This place was called 
When we were on our way to dinner (the first restaurant that we ended up leaving), we passed by Hansen’s Cakes, which we had seen on Tori & Dean’s reality show. I remember them always getting their birthday cakes there, so it was pretty cool to see! If you can’t tell, we are reality TV junkies!
After dinner, we had been dying to try this place called 
There were so many flavors and toppings to choose from that they lady working there probably was ready to kill us! We are both extremely indecisive. We got the coconut milk base and went with the Nutella flavor. We added in almonds, too! OMG it was freaking incredible! I wish we had one here in Dallas.
After we got our ice cream, we headed over to Drybar for a much-needed blowout. We actually had never gotten one here before, but since we forgot shampoo, and really needed to wash our hair, it worked out perfectly! It was so relaxing and I was obsessed with all the decor and branding!
She did such a good job with my hair and

When we first arrived, we were greeted by the super friendly staff! Every single person we interacted with during our stay was super sweet and always eager to help. For us, that makes all the difference when we are staying somewhere. Nobody wants to be greeted with an attitude, especially on vacation. 
We took our luggage up to the room, and were both instantly obsessed! On the table was the most delicious crudité and bottled waters! If you know us, there’s never a time that we aren’t hungry, so having these veggies to munch on was perfect! 
How delicious do these veggies look?!
The room was super spacious and had a pretty big flat screen for a hotel, which we loved! We were pleased we could catch up on some Grey’s Anatomy that evening. It also had the most light we have ever seen in a hotel room. Normally, they’re super dark, and you can forget about having any kind of light after the sun goes down. Not this one! It had a gorgeous chandelier, and it provided so much light. Now, moving on the bathroom- AMAZING! We were so in love, I think that was the first thing I snapped. It was super spacious and had a separate shower, which I love! It also had a bathtub, AND a T.V. in the bathroom. We were all over that for obvious reasons!
{
Check out that amazing view from where we ate!
When the menu came, it was hard to decide what to order. Normally, this is because we have to change half of the menu and ‘create’ our own item, but this time was only because there were so many option to choose from that we would actually eat! 
The hotel focuses on wellness and they even have specific menu items that fall within 400-500 calories and focus on wellness, longevity, and sustainability. So cool, right?
For our entrees, Alexis got the Sustainable Salmon Salad, and I got the Turkey Burger. The waitress asked if I wanted it wrapped in lettuce after I said I wanted it bun-less, which I loved! It was just refreshing to be somewhere where I didn’t look like a nut ordering!
After our lunch, we explored the amazing property. We first checked out 
Check out the super cute lights again! We were obsessed! 
Loved the chairs and floor, too!
It had top of the line equipment, and right off of it, they have a beautiful dining room, as well as a wellness patio, where seasonal vegetables such as tomatoes, squash are grown and used during the interactive cooking classes and demonstrations held by a Registered Dietition-Chef. 
One of the cool events they have is

They also offer complimentary cycling classes and yoga, and body sculpt classes. Additionally, they have various fitness assessments they can perform. Directly off the gym, is a super nice indoor pool as well. They even have complimentary apples, coffee, and teas located outside the gym for us, addicts!
After we got ready for the day, we headed down to the 
For the table, we got the Seasonal Fruit Plate, Three Egg Omelet (make your own), Egg White Frittata without the cheese, and a Kale, Mango, Apple, Flax Smoothie (so good!). We also got lots of black coffee and hot water and lemon (our usuals). All of it was incredible! The staff was so sweet and accommodating, and they even had gluten-free toast for us!
