Hey y’all, we tried to find a good hotel that wasn’t in downtown for the LA portion of our trip back in May and decided to go with Hotel MDR Marina Del Rey, a DoubleTree by Hilton! This video includes the hotel lobby tour, breakfast experience, and room tour!
At the time there were no videos on this hotel so I decided to film one myself!
I hope this video helps and don’t forget to subscribe for more xx Sami
Stay tuned for LA vlogs!
Hey there! I got my hands on the Hello Kitty & Friends Monopoly x Sanrio 2022. Here is my unboxing video & game setup with a little bit of ASMR.
It was sold out on Sanrio by the time I saw it on Instagram (within a few hours of posting) so I found another site to get it from!
If you grew up with Hello Kitty & Friends it’s so good to see this version of Monopoly!

Hey there! Ngoc and I spent 2 days in Amsterdam and we did SO MUCH! From Moco Museum’s Banksy & Andy Warhol to a stroll in Vondelpark, and of course we had to do a canal tour! We also stopped by the Bloemenmarkt (flower market), the Hortus Botanicus, and I made sure to get a stroopwafel!
p.s. this was pre-panini in May 2019, I am 3 years late to editing lol.
Watch our London adventures here: https://youtu.be/RLOzSSkn0GY
| Day 1 | Omelegg, Henri Willig Dutch Cheese Shop, Moco Museum, Vondelpark, Vegan Junk Food Bar
| Day 2 | Hortus Botanicus (botanical garden), Canal Tour, Bloemenmarkt flower market, Melly’s Stroopwafel, Lunch @ Thai Place
Not in the vlog but notable things:
– Everything tends to be designed for taller people
– Their grocery markets are cute and I was on the hunt for stroopwafels
– I requested to use the restroom while we got takeout a Thai place and they got a key and brought me to an apartment’s restroom upstairs
– RyanAir is the European version of Spirit lol
