Birthday Special

We've been so obsessed with Sam Smith.  Can't ever get enough!  Super elated that I found this on my birthday... It just made the day even more special.

Makeup By Me: Jeri Lee

Over the weekend, Linh invited me to come along with him to do Jeri Lee's makeup during her visit to DC.  Of course without hesitation, I was ecstatic to accompany him.  I think it's been about 13 years since I've been a fan of hers.  I gained a lot from this experience-- I didn't know I could do a full face of makeup with lashes in all under 30 minutes.  Not even during my 3 years of working for MAC, have I ever finished that quickly. Insane.  During my whole makeup career I literally day dreamed about one day doing her makeup, grateful to have had the opportunity to do so.  I also realized how much I missed doing makeup.  It was great meeting Jeri, she has a great personality, I can really see how she made it this far.  Looks may go a long way, but your positive energy and who you are is what really determines your place in life. 

Until next time... xoxo

Last Last Weekend Recap

Getting Lost With You

Summer nights, random drives, loud music, windows down, singing with no care in the world,  & most importantly all of it with you.

I love my life.

Spoiled Animals

Judge Me

We deserved it! No further justification.

Lanikai Pillbox Hike

This beach (Lanikai) has to be my #1 point of interest for vacation.  I already don't want to leave...... & I haven't even gone on vacation yet!  Definitely looking forward to the pillbox hike, & hoping to convince the bf to kayak out to the Mokulua islands for some more hiking.  :)

Inside the pillbox.  Love it!

Yesterday's Gym Selfie

Going with the lover boy today. Yay!

Dessert Time

Tea & macarons while watching the 1984 NBA draft with my love.

Makapau'u Lighthouse Hike

Starting today, I am going to start gathering details for our vacation in August.  The purpose is to daydream and so I don't forget any places that we must visit.  

This hike is supposed to be SUPER easy, considering that it is mostly paved.  There is a bit of rock climbing in order to access the tide pools.

At the lookout point at the top of the hike, there is a place you can leave a lock if you wish.  I've always wanted to do something like this with someone I love!  I have to remember to grab a lock before doing this hike.

Lunchtime Wanderings

Equals rediscovering childhood.  Well, today at least.

Barbecues & Wedgies

                 Family time!

            Mom is so tiny. :)
