Plus, see Vanderpump Rules' Ariana Madix's adorable Christmas tree, which she put together with boyfriend Daniel Wai's help.
Vanderpump Rules' Ariana Madix and Daniel Wai's bi-coastal relationship is still going strong, with Ariana living in Los Angeles and Daniel living in New York City. The personal trainer just made the trip out to L.A. to visit his girlfriend, where they had the best time together, hanging out and getting ready for the holidays.
Ariana recently revealed that having quality time with one another is just one of those things that makes their relationship worth it even though they live on different coasts. Ariana spoke to People on Dec. 13 where she revealed that doing long distance is worth it because Daniel is that amazing.
"He is so incredible. He's so smart. He's so supportive. He's so cute. He's just constantly in my corner," she said about her boyfriend. "And he's someone that I look up to and I feel like would be, if someone were to have told me five years ago before I ever met him I'm dating this guy, I'd be like, 'Wow.' I would love him for anyone because he is so amazing and so what makes it worth it is just that time I get to spend with him."
Inside Daniel Wai's recent trip to Los Angeles to see Ariana Madix
Daniel took to his Instagram Story recently, where he documented all of the hijinks that he and Ariana got up to during his most recent trip. His first stop in the City of Angels? "Obviously" to Ariana's sandwich shop, Something About Her, which she co-owns with Katie Maloney. Daniel took to his Instagram Story, where he posted the façade of the West Hollywood eatery, recognized by its adorable yellow and white striped awning.
"Obviously first stop in LA," he captioned the photo.

He then proceeded to order "The Kate" — a sandwich made with burrata, vegetables, balsamic onion marmalade, and pesto aioli on a ciabatta roll — which he customized with prosciutto, which made it "so huge." "Yummmm," Katie wrote when she reposted the photo.
"One of my faves," Ariana added when she reposted it.

After getting sandwiches, Ariana and Daniel then proceeded to go to the hardware store, where they got a number of items, including a putty knife, for an undisclosed home project. "Normal Sunday things!" Daniel wrote over the photo.
It's safe to say that the couple has been busy during Daniel's visit. In addition to chowing down on food and working on a project, Ariana and Daniel also got her Christmas tree set up.

What are Ariana Madix's plans for the holidays?
It definitely seems like Ariana is going to be spending Christmas with Daniel, as she told Access Hollywood on Dec. 4 that she wants to be in NYC for the holidays. "So for Christmas itself, I might want to go to New York for Christmas," she said. "And then I kinda wanna get out of town."
"I wanna travel for New Years," she explained. "I've never done New Years abroad and I think it would be so cool to ring in the new year in a completely different time zone."
She's also looking forward to exchanging gifts with Daniel this year, who, she told People, is the "best gift giver." "He's an incredible gift giver," she told the publication on Dec. 20. "He already knows what he wants to get. He's already gotten me, I think, most of it."
