The Odd Self Consciousness of Digital Times

July 23, 2019

See this picture? I’ve been debating on posting it for almost two weeks. And the internal conversations I’ve had with myself over it are borderline hilarious, and also a bit pitiful. Not because I don’t

Shell Sunnies Chain Roundup

July 22, 2019July 23, 2019

So, I lost one of my favorite pairs of sunglasses to a port o potty. (In Seattle they’re called Honey Buckets which sometimes makes me view honey differently.) Anywho, let’s say next time I help

Playlist Kinda Mood

July 19, 2019

Couldn’t really figure out what to write or post, but I did put together a stellar playlist. (That I then listened to while putting together this little mood board.) I’d call it a summer playlist,

Costa Rica Journal

July 17, 2019July 18, 2019

Do you ever travel somewhere, and feel more at home there than you do at home? Well, that was the case with this recent trip to Costa Rica. Everything about where we stayed, the dirt

No Makeup. No Bra. No Problem.

July 12, 2019July 15, 2019

We just got back from Costa Rica, and I can say I thoroughly enjoyed putting zero effort into anything but soaking it all up. I think I washed my face about four times in ten

Rambling

July 8, 2019

If I vanished for the past week, I promise there’s a good excuse. We are down in Costa Rica which meant unplugging, writing, reading, and just breathing. A lot. I was going to add more

Goldfish Kiss X Rip Curl

June 30, 2019June 30, 2019

If you see me with a little extra pep in my step today, it’s because a new Rip Curl X Goldfish Kiss collection just launched. In fact, it’s our FOURTH collection. Pinch me. Seriously. If

Tropical Touches

June 27, 2019June 27, 2019

Want a quick and easy mood booster? Well, I’ve come to the conclusion that some sort of subtle yet effective endorphin release occurs when rocking a tropical print, something that says Aloha, some shells, or

Written Out

June 23, 2019June 23, 2019

I had a goal to make (or I guess I should say, scribble) one image like this a day, for 30 days. Well, I ended up with these five over the last few months. Baby

Saint Mae, You’re stunning.

June 19, 2019June 19, 2019

Let’s talk rings for a few minutes. Custom, badass, jaw-dropping and unique bridal stunners to be exact. Throw in that they’re also ethical, sustainable, and charitable…oh yeah, it was love at first sight for Saint

Neon and Natural

June 16, 2019June 17, 2019

When it comes to makeup, it’s pretty much natural and dewy or bust for me. When it comes to nails, it’s neon, crazy, mismatched, tropical, or basically the complete opposite. So, I figured I’d document

Oahu Was Calling

June 12, 2019June 13, 2019

So, I signed Levi up for Swim Lessons. The kid knows how to swim, loves the water, has been in it since he was 2 months old, and I just thought, hey it’d be fun.

Connecting the dots. On paper.

June 11, 2019June 12, 2019

A perk of journaling: It tends to produce juicy thoughts that tend to make all of the craziness make sense. A perk of always having a journal in hand: You can document those juicy thoughts. Or

Mismatched Happy toes

June 5, 2019

I promise the next time I paint my toes, it’ll be a single easy to follow print, like the neon leopard one above. But for some reason this whole mismatched look just…works. Especially for summer.

Keeping the Vibe Alive With kai

May 30, 2019May 30, 2019

During all of our moves over the past few years, there’s been one constant goal I’ve had for our home: Keeping the tropical vibe alive. Yup, regardless of proximity to a tropical locale, I’ve been
