Hotel Review: Radisson Hotel & Suites Fallsview

A little late, but I wanted to review the hotel we stayed at for Valentine's Day. We booked a room for the night at Radisson Hotel in Niagara Falls, ON. Yes, there are MANY options in Niagara Falls that are more luxurious and fancy, but for our purposes, this looked as if it would be what we were looking for. We wanted to have a getaway from our regular schedule, and use the opportunity to do some special Valentine's cam shows for the night, and the recently renovated hotel looked perfectly ideal.

Upon arrival, check in was quick and smooth, and within minutes we had our room key, wireless password, and directions to our room. We had booked the whirlpool room, and we were pleased to see that the room was just as beautiful as the pictures. The simple pattern on the wall combined with the subtle colour scheme and beautiful view made the room a modern luxury.

Almost instantly my boyfriend ran the jacuzzi tub that was right next to the window, to relax and enjoy our view of the falls. Between the tub and the SleepNumber bed we had in our room (which was beyond dreamy and to DIE for), our room was perfect. Everything was clean and nicely prepared for us.

While we didn't make use of the room service to comment on that, we DID use the complimentary WiFi connection. For a camgirl staying at a hotel, a great internet connection is always a plus! Having the option to be online during at least part of the stay is awesome, and the fact that it was included in the cost of our room (only CAD$126.99 for the night) makes it even better. Streaming was flawless and the new scenery was a nice change from our regular bedroom shows. I added some rose petals to the tub, and it was instantly a Valentine's dream!

Overall, our stay was romantic, relaxing, and completely right for our needs. I was also able to push back our check-out time by a few hours with no extra fees so we didn't have to rush out in the morning. The ONLY negative feedback I have is for the recommendation I got from the front desk for pizza delivery; 321 Pizza was probably the worst pizza and wings I've EVER had. 

I would definitely recommend this room. It was also equipped with a fitness room and pool room, but we were very content in our room so these options were not even a consideration for our stay. If we go back to Niagara Falls for a visit, I don't see why we'd stay anywhere else. I would probably choose to go back when the weather is warmer so that our walk to the tourist attractions, while not far, was far enough in the cold. But I'm also excited to go somewhere new!





Here's to traveling more, and writing out reviews much sooner than a week and a half after our stay  lol..
 Happy Belated Valentine's <3

My Bucket List

There are SO many things that I always say I want to do in my lifetime, or that I've added to my so-called "bucket list" but have never actually written out any form of bucket list. So I've decided that that is precisely what I'm going to do, in a way that is public so I have some form of accountability (even if I don't accomplish some of these until years from now). I know I'll probably miss some so this will definitely be revised over and over well after it's been posted, but here goes....
  • travel: particularly Denmark, France, Germany, England, Thailand, Costa Rica, Columbia, Africa, (there will be more)
  • do the voice of a cartoon character in a movie
  • get a tattoo done by Kat Von D
  • makeout with Kleio Valentien
  • collab on a clothing line with sizes for tall chicks (clothing, bikinis, lingerie, maybe even shoes)
  • go to the Oscars
  • adopt a kid 
  • hang out with Russell Brand
  • buy a vacation property
  • sing with the Dixie Chicks
  • record an album
  • play a stadium concert
  • go to the AVN Expo
  • nose job
  • hang out with other cam girls/people
  • own an old warehouse loft
  • write a book
  • go to a Tony Robbins seminar
  • take a flight with Virgin Airlines
  • be part of a huge flash mob
Well that's it for now, but like I said the list will probably always be changing and growing as I do the same every single day. If there's anything you think you can help me with, by all means, let's work together!! haha.. Either way, I plan on accomplishing most of these in my lifetime and am so excited at that very idea. Life is such an adventure! 

Let me know what kind of things are on your bucket lists.. I'd love to hear and maybe even get more ideas of my own.

Until next time,

Skyler

NOMS! Chicken Tortilla Soup

I hadn't thought of writing about food on my blog, but because I love food so much, it only makes sense to share this love from time to time. Now I'm not much of a cook, but when I find a recipe I'd like, I get more than excited and can't wait to try it out.

Today I decided to search allrecipes.com for something to make my tastebuds dance and happened across "Chicken Tortilla Soup." I LOVE mexican flavours and was feeling the soup vibe on this cold winter day so I went to the grocery store and picked up ingredients. Not only is this easy and quick to make, but it smells absolutely delicious and tastes simply DIVINE, which is why I'm sharing it with you. If you're a fan of soup and spice and Mexican flare, this recipe is a definite must-try. Give it a go, and let me know what you think!

Ingredients (for 6 servings)
- 1 cup chopped onion (I used red)
- 3 cups chicken broth
- 1 (14.5 oz) can diced tomatoes with green chile peppers
- 1 envelope taco seasoning
- 1.5 lbs skinless boneless chicken breast mean, cubed
- 2 tbsp cornstarch
- 1/4 cup cold water
- shredded Mexican cheese
- fresh cilantro (optional)


Directions

  1. Combine onion, chicken broth, tomatoes, and taco seasoning in a large sauce pan; bring to a boil over medium heat. Stir in chicken; reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer until chicken is no longer pink, 4 to 6 minutes. Mix cornstarch and water in a small bowl until smooth; gradually stir into soup.
  2. Bring soup to a boil over medium-high heat; cook, stirring occasionally, until thickened, about 1 minute. Top with Mexican cheese and cilantro, and serve with tortilla chips if desired :)

My Blonde Adventures: Shampoo Review

Just over 3 months ago, I made the decision to start my journey from brunette to platinum blonde. I had been blonde for the summer last year, but my hair being significantly shorter, made it much easier to get to the colour I wanted.

This time however, was not quite as easy. A few months before I had done a hair show and although I didn't get left with any crazy colours, I did get left with layers of reddish brunette, which as most of you know, is TERRIBLE to try and get rid of. Not to mention the fact that my hair is longer than last time so trying to get an even blonde is pretty difficult.

While I've only had my hair done twice now (the initial application and one roots touchup), the colour, while still uneven, looks pretty good so far. After the first application, there were still a lot of yellow tones, and even some areas that looked orange. Inexperienced at being blonde I picked up John Frieda Sheer Blonde Toning Shampoo and conditioner from my local drugstore. The lack of toning strength in this shampoo combined with the relentless brassy tones in my hair made for zero results. I spent a good month and a half rocking the dreaded "trying too hard to be blonde" kind of blonde.

Shortly after my second hair lift, and still seeing no difference with my blonde shampoo, I picked up a bottle of Paul Mitchell Blonde Shampoo. I've used it 4 or 5 times now, and I've noticed a significant difference. I realize my hair was already much less brassy to start, but either way, my hair is on its way to that brass-free, ashy platinum blonde that I've been hoping for. While I'm still dealing with a few brassy patches (damn that red), this shampoo is definitely worth using, and highly recommended to any of you blonde bombshells if you're working on losing those warm tones.



Long story short: John Frieda=unimpressive, and Paul Mitchell=amazing!

All the love,

Skye

TOY REVIEW: the Wanachi

"Diamonds are a girl's best friend," right? WRONG! Vibrators, my friends, are a girl's real best friend. I think most girls can agree when I say that this discovery opened up a whole new world of fun, orgasms and independence.

When looking for a new toy, I'm always wondering what the best option is, finding myself reading reviews trying to find something with a great rating. The problem, is that because all girls are different and because our lady parts are equally as unique, reading reviews might not always be of any help. Keeping that in mind, I wanted to add my own review to already huge bank of sex toy literature, by writing about my go-to vibrator, the Wanachi.

Coming in at a very affordable price range ($20-30 at the right place), the Wanachi is easy to use, with a simple twist of the end of the handle. The more you twist it, the stronger the vibration, and for a battery-operated toy, the vibration is pretty substantial. I find that I generally need more stimulation and was worried that it may not be strong enough, but this toy definitely does the trick. Because I do cam shows with my boyfriend, I also like using this one because it is easy to use, small enough to not get in the way, and easy to move around with. It also comes in 5 colours (black, white, purple, pink and blue), which is always a nice option.

I've found that the biggest downside with this toy is that it doesn't seem to have a very long life span. For reference, we've gone through a handful of these and they've all consistently broken at the rubbery joint, where the head attaches to the handle. Generally this part allows for flexibility and ease of movement, but when it breaks, the head becomes flimsy and harder to use. But for the price we're paying, I guess we really can't complain that it doesn't hold up in comparison to the heavier duty vibrators.

Overall, I think this toy is pretty great for what it is and the price it costs, but after breaking another one, I'm excited to move on and try something new.


**the toy reviewed in this blog is the Original Wanachi, not to be confused with the mini, or any other variations.

Diving In

My name is Skyler. Last year, my boyfriend (the Heisenberg to my Skyler) and I decided to dive into the world of online camming as a means to make an income with hopes to get by and be able to pay the bills. Inspired by Walter White in Breaking Bad, we thought we'd "break bad" in our own sense, by doing something we consider to be fun and convenient despite the social taboos that might come with it. I can say that this has been the most liberating decision I have ever made in my life, and have never been happier.

While I never expected to take the route of making online porn, I always thought I'd do something that involved social networking/marketing, or blogging, but those things seem to be coming as a result. I've always wanted to write a blog and have started writing ideas and making plans but have never followed through for lack of inspiration and passion. While I love fashion, makeup, shopping, music, movies, and other girly type things, and have dabbled in the world of fashion modeling, that didn't seem to be enough inspiration to write about it. Only recently have I thought to combine those loves with my love of sex and all things porn to make a blog that I would get excited to build, and perhaps in turn, that others might get excited to read.

So far, these are some ideas that I've come up with, in terms of future content. Feel free to contribute ideas of things you'd like to read, or hear from me, or things you'd like me to learn about to report back my own experience.

  • Fashion - great shopping finds, favourite articles of clothing, great lingerie panty hauls
  • Sex toy reviews ;)
  • Beauty product reviews on some personal favourites
  • Book, movie, music reviews on what's inspiring me at the moment
  • Photoshoots
  • Camming experiences - with each other and hopefully in the future, with other online cam models/people, porn/industry people
  • Travel experiences
I'm super excited to build on these ideas and to share more sides of myself and my interests. I'm looking forward to hearing feedback as well because as much as I'm doing this for me, I also take great pleasure in knowing it's something that YOU might enjoy too. Expect a post at LEAST every Saturday, and if I start to slack, give me a gentle slap on the ass.

love always, 

SkyHi
