This Wordless Wednesday I decided to post my current favorite photos of Honolulu. The top 2 phtoos are of Waikiki Beach and Diamond Head taken from the Rainbow Tower at Hilton Hawaiian Village. The last photo is of Ala Moana Beach park a month or so ago. I'm so lucky and blessed to live in Hawai'i!!
How's the weather where you live? Is it warming up nicely? I hope you are all having a lovely week!!
Oh and if you haven't already, check out my photography website!!

Just some random pictures I snapped with my iPhone 4s using the Camera+ app. I hope you are all having a wonderful week so far.
Freedom isn't free and it isn't cheap. Throughout the history of our nation, thousands and thousands of soldiers died defending our freedom. My grandfather Henry fought in World War II in the Navy and his ship got hit by a kamikaze Japanese plane. He survived that crash but many of his friends and fellow soldiers lost their lives in that war. He later died from particles of that plane that remained in him from the war traveling down near his heart giving him a heart attack.
All of us know or are related to someone who is serving or who has served in the military. I have several friends and family members who fight bravely each day defending our freedoms and I'm so thankful for them. That is why today we must take the time to thank God for their bravery and sacrifice, to remember the lives lost making our country great and keeping it free. I am so thankful for all the brave servicemen and women who put their lives on the line.
Today is so much more than a day for going to the beach or barbecuing.
Because Mondays otherwise suck, here are some of my favorite posts/reads/bytes from this week. The posts I feature are an eclectic mixture of writings, photography and other random things that I just found either touching, enjoyable and inspirational.
This week's spotlight is on food. I have been obsessed with recipes lately so these are the blogs whose recipes looked so delicious that I wanted to share!!
I just got this trio in the mail yesterday and I have to say I love it. If you like coconut but don't want something that smells sickeningly sweet, this will be perfect for you. The mixture of vanilla and coconut is subtle enough to not make you feel sick if you're sensitive to strong scents but fragrant enough for you to be able to enjoy the summery scent as your skin gets a moisturizing treat.
I'm going to use this more and do a full review on how it affects your skin after using it for a week or more every day. I hope you're all having a wonderful weekend!!
xoxo
