Day Mayde
I’ve been a fan of Mayde Australia for many many moons. You might recognize their towels as the backdrop of my nail art post I do (when it’s not at a white sandy beach) They

Lei Days
Gotta love being back in a place where making a lei is an easy thing to do. Not sure what my favorite part about the process is: the bowl full of flowers, the extremely relaxing

Friendly Reminder
Sorry for the lack of posting. I had some unexpected travel (that wasn’t really something I felt like writing about) pair that with feeling under the weather, the heartbreaking stuff going on in the world
