Just recently noticed that one of the bedrooms outlets and the switches in the adjacent half bath were not getting any power... they worked just fine earlier in the day. The light in the bedroom works fine but the outlets do not. I checked all my breakers traced them and they all seem to do something... no breakers had been tripped or anything like that. So I'm clueless to why all of a sudden the bedroom outlets are not getting any power... Please Help :)

Some times a breaker is off, but looks like it is on. If you have shut off all the breakers, and turned them back on, you should have found one of those. You could have a wire broken or loose. Start by pulling the switches and outlet out of their box, that are not working. Check the connections, both black and white. Note whether the cables come in from the top or bottom. Be careful, if you don't know which breaker feeds them, you can't shut it off. Maybe shut off several in the area, but don't count on not having a loose hot wire.

If you don't find anything back to the breakers. Likely one of them feeds something else you found, and then goes on to them. Often a wire starts at a breaker and goes to one switch or outlet, and then on to another and another. Was there a breaker in the area that didn't seem to have much on it? Shut it off and pull out all its switches and breakers. If a switch just has one pair of wires, the feed goes to what it controls. If it has 3 cables, one is the feed, one goes from the switch to what it controls, and the third feeds something else. Usually the wiring follow a logical pattern. A pair of wires runs from the breaker box to a device, and then on to the next, often going into an attic or crawl space between. You might try follow the feed to the non working things that way.

... type outlet in either the bathroom or the bedroom? It is not uncommon to find a GFI being used in a bathroom that also feeds other circuits (especially in older homes where a GFI has been added). If so, check to see if it has tripped and reset it if it has.
