As a photographer and avid hiker, I’ve tested a lot of gear. From camera-friendly backpacks to hydration must-haves and smart little extras that make a big difference, this list has everything I genuinely use and love on my hikes.

Vegas might be known for bright lights and big shows, but there’s actually so much to do here with kids — and plenty of it doesn’t cost a thing. This list is full of fun, free activities I genuinely love, from outdoor adventures and hands-on play spaces to peaceful parks and unexpected gems around the city.

These are my absolute favorite beauty products—the ones I swear by for everything from skincare to makeup to hair. Each item on this list has earned its spot because it works, feels good, and makes me feel confident and glowing every day.

These are my go-to places in Vegas for good food, cozy vibes, and coffee that never disappoints. Whether you’re a brunch person, a latte lover, or just hungry for something really good, this list has you covered.

I’ve lived in Las Vegas for over 20 years, and as an avid hiker and outdoor lover, I can tell you — there’s so much more to this city than the Strip. These are my favorite hikes and outdoor adventures that have become my go-to escapes when I need to get out of the city, reconnect, and breathe.
