This devotional spoke to my soul this morning as I got ready for church. I just wanted to share it with you all. Courtesy of Truth For Life December 22, 2013 How Can He Fail You? I will strengthen you. Isaiah 41:10 God has a strong reserve with which to discharge this responsibility, for He is able to do everything. Believer, until...
Every year since my son was born, he's taken a Christmas photo. When my brother Peter started having kids, they started taking photos together. This year Alaka'i told me he felt "too old" to take a Christmas photo even though he believes in Santa. However, he said he would "graciously accompany" his younger cousins while they take photos with Santa. So cute. Though...
Top your holiday desserts with this bit of sweet enchantment: Candy Cane Whipped Cream. There’s nothing like homemade whipped cream. Seriously. The billowing clouds of cream go with just about everything. Serve it sweetened as a topping or as a filling for pies and cakes. A small dollop of savory whipped cream in a soup richly elevates the flavor. But, for the holidays, this...
I love the wide variety of Christmas and holiday decor that I've seen this year whether it's at the mall or in my neighborhood. I've been noticing a lot of sparkle and a surprisingly large amount of retro style trees out there. The other night I was shopping for makeup for my mom at Neiman Marcus and fell in love with quite a...

I saw this video floating around Facebook and it's another wonderfully profound video by Dove that highlights how women specifically see themselves in contrast to how others see them. We are always much harder on ourselves than we should be and we fail to see the true beauty we each have. God made us fearfully and wonderfully and we are all beautiful!! So...
When you hear the word fresh, the sight of brightly colored vegetables comes to mind, doesn't it? No one ever thinks of the word fresh and then visualizes a can of food. At Fresh Cafe in Kaka'ako, the food is always freshly made with fresh ingredients, never stale, never old, never cold from sitting around waiting to be served. It's located smack dab in...
Whether you live in a place that experiences the extreme cold, heat or even if you're in an environment where the weather seldom changes (like Hawai'i), we all suffer from dry skin from time to time- especially as we age. What's the difference though between dry skin and dehydrated skin? I read this article on Refinery29 and I found it quite interesting. Knowing the difference...
It's the holidays and the end of the year is fast approaching. With that comes work deadlines, Christmas tree decorating, Christmas shopping and (for me) wedding plan finalization. Blaaahh. Last night I stayed up entirely too late decorating the Christmas tree. The disheveled appearance of my living room area is proof that I have yet to finish the tree despite staying up until 5...

One of my goals for this year was to get more wear out of the items already in my closet. As a girl on a budget, I knew that it'd be the perfect way to save moolah...
