Tiny Feet.

Today my DollGirl came out of her classroom and showed me this beautiful creature that hatched in her room. I'm not sure of what the technical term is when a caterpillar emerges as a butterfly from it's chrysalis...is it called hatching?! Well, anyway, my DollGirl's classroom is blessed to have a lot of chrysalis' that are on the verge of hatching and this little guy came out while they were in the classroom and so when it was time to come outside to play, my DollGirl very carefully let it walk on her finger to let her take it outside.

Here is her little cutenss giving me a "loud" smile as she shows me the beautiful butterfly that she was able to hold for just a moment before it took off to the skies! I'm so glad that I was able to take this really quick picture of her holding the gorgeous butterfly.

After the butterfly flew off, for some reason DollGirl wanted me take a picture of her socks. She rarely wears socks, but it has been kind of cold lately and so she decided to for whatever reason to wear these cute mismatched socks.

When her classmates saw that I was taking a picture of her socks, they thought I was taking a picture of their feet and wanted me to take pictures of their feet to. It was super cute coz I told them that I would take a picture of their feet if their feet smiled for me. This is their feet smiling for me.

More "smiling" feet! I just love how these children think. I love how they LOVE to go around barefoot, and I appreciate living in a place where that is allowed. When I first started to work in a preschool setting and saw how they would do this, I would get upset that they might step on something that might hurt them, but the longer that I worked here the more that I saw that this is the way of life here. I even have parents who remove their shoes when they walk into my classroom! Now, that is respect!

This reminds me how careful we have to be around children. They will mimic you. They will follow in your footsteps whether you wan them ore not. They are innocent. I have to remember this and this makes me smile because I realize because of them, I am always striving to be a person worthy to be followed in her footsteps. :)

An elephant from Germany.

I love this postcard sent to me from a friend in Germany! :) I love how the edges aren't straight but has a different kind of an edge than normal postcards. I know that you can't really tell from the pictures, but I adore how the postcard is full on glittery and there is an elephant front and center! I also appreciate the flowers and the beautiful lettering of the postcard! And the best part of the postcard, the sweet, extremely sweet message that was written on it. :)

LuLaRoe Reciew.

A couple of weeks ago, my sister-in-law told me that she was hosting a LuLaRoe party and I had her explain to me what exactly that was. And she even showed me a few (or it could have been a LOT) of the pieces that she had. I was amazing with how "buttery soft" the leggings where and I was looking forward to getting a pair myself. At her online/fb party I was able to get an Irma top (with the recommendation of my other friend, Ashley, who has several of them!), a pair of leggings and an Amelia dress for my sister. I have to admit that the prices were a lot more than what I would normally spend on clothes, but I told myself that this was an investment on myself. For awhile now, I have been wanting to update my wardrobe and get rid of a lot of my clothes. I was really trying to see if I could survive on a "capsule wardrobe"...I mean, because I do live in Hawai'i and basically as long as I had Spring/Fall outfits, that can work year-round for me. I would say "summer" but it does get "cold" in the winter and I like to wear pants/leggins when it gets "colder". (Right now I feel cold because the tradewinds are blowing something fierce, but when I checked the weather, it is 81 degrees. So that can give you a hint of the weather that I live with. :)

When I got home today I went straight to my computer to log onto FB because my friend was hosting a LuLaRoe party and I wanted to support her, and also add to my LuLaRoe collection. I was planning on buying at least 2 more Irma's and I really wanted a maxi dress/skirt and maybe a pair of leggings if I saw a pattern that I liked. Unfortunately, I only really liked one Irma top and so I was able to get that one. I told myself that I can only buy from people that I know so that I won't just buy whenever I see a sale and go bankrupt! :)

So, this is the Irma top that I ended up buying. I just settled my invoice with the seller, and now I just have to wait patiently for it to get to me! I am super excited for it! It is a pattern that I normally wouldn't get, but now that I know that there are several ways to wear an Irma top I think that this pattern will work really nicely! :)

Here is a picture of one of the first Irma that I got from my sister-in-law's pop up shop! :) I super like it! Here I am wearing it like a halter top and it's super comfy to wear it like this! How I did this was I pulled my arms and head through the neck hole and pulled the sleeves back around my neck and tied it. I used a hair tie to tie it easier. I think that this is my favorite way to wear it. This is a sizes Large, and when I put it on it was like a tent on me! I don't think that I would wear it as is because it's so large. I usually wear it with a knot tied on the inside, either on the side, both sides, or on the back. It does tend to have a higher neckline than I normally like, so the halter top would be the way that I would like to wear it. :)

(My goodness, my hair looks super long in the last picture! And I just cut is a few months ago too! :) Yay, to fast growing hair! :))

Traveling postcards!

This friend from Turkey specifically requested a panoramic view of the the city and so I decided to send him this view of Honolulu. I hope that he likes it! :)

Loïc requested a postcard that represented where I live and I think that this was a perfect postcard to send to France. I hope that he enjoys this beautiful view of this beach! :)

The next three postcards are a set of three postcards being sent to the same place. I will be sending these postcards to China.

The first of the three postcards going to China will be this one. My friend specifically asked for this one and so since I had several of these particular postcards, I decided to send him one! :)

This next postcard going to China is this vintage moonrise postcard. He mentioned that he liked vintage postcards and moonrise pictures, and so I thought that this would be a lovely addition to his postcard collection! :)

And lastly this postcard of a multi-view tourist postcard will round up the group of 3 postcards on their way to China! I hope my friend from China will like these postcards that will be on it's way to him! :)

Incoming Postcards!

This very amazing and beautiful postcard of the gorgeous, mysterious ocean came to me from Germany. It traveled 12 days to get to me and if I had room on my walls for a picture, I would blow this postcard picture up and frame it! :)

This beautiful postcard was sent from Portugal and also took 12 days to get to me. I love it! I just love ocean shots! :)

Just because gifts.

Yesterday I complimented a preschool parent on their outfit and how much I really love the kimono that they were wearing. Today, she walks in with her daughter who hands me a similar kimono to what her mom was wearing yesterday! I was surprised with the lovely gift! The mom told me that she had a new one that she had just gotten and it was her 4th kimono that she had gotten and it would make her feel less guilty for buying so much if I would accept the gift! She is super sweet!

And I love it so much! I feel like I will be looking for more styles! :) I love the kimono and I love surprise just because gifts! :) I will say this over and over again and again, I appreciate the parents that we have at the preschool and I love how thoughtful they are. I am so lucky to be working were I work where work doesn't always feel like I'm working. :)

Rodan + Fields: Just trying things out!

A couple days ago my friend came to pick up her child at the preschool and I mentioned that I LOVE her eyelash extensions...except they weren't extensions! They were her REAL eyelashes! AND she wasn't even wearing mascara! The next day she came wearing mascara and it really did look like she was wearing fake eyelashes or something. They were super long, thick and just looked really good, so I mentioned it again and that's when she told me that she was a Rodan + Fields Consultant and wanted to know if I wanted to join her Lash Boost Party that she was going to be throwing in two days on Facebook telling everyone what her business was all about.

I told her that I would love to, and she was in no way pushy about anything, but very informative and didn't make me feel like I had to buy anything at all! I usually stay clear out of things like this because I always feel like I am pressured to buy something. But this time, she just told me facts and I even SAW results on her so yes, I decided to try out the Lash Boost of Rodan + Fields.

I went ahead and bought the Lash Boost and I am super excited to try it out. My other friend also bought and also signed up to be a consultant herself as well! I told her that I would wait for her to get her Lash Boost so that we can try this out together. The process is super easy! Basically, every night on a clean face you swipe this serum on your top lash line and let it soak/dry in and that's it. For 8 weeks you do this, but you can already see results within a few weeks...and so I am excited to try this! After the 8 weeks of doing this daily, you can just apply this just 2 times a week. So even though it's a 60 day supply, it can last longer! For one 60 day supply it was $135.

I don't really wear a lot of make up any longer...I do miss it, because I just love being girlie like that. :) But I still love my mascara and blush...and I will always love lipgloss/chapstick! Other than that I don't really do anything else to "fix" my looks (aside from trying to make healthy choices to loose weight and...be more healthy.). So this was something different for me. But I really want this...who doesn't want longer, thicker, darker lashes!

When I decided to become a preferred customer, I was automatically entered into a drawing to win a Lash Boost product and new Burberry sunglasses! And guess what?! I won! So today, Hillary (my friend who is the consultant to introduced me into Rodan + Fields) brought me my prize. Later on, the Lash Boost will be coming in the mail...and I'm excited! I have two supplies of Lash Boost!

I will never say no to a gift! And so when Hillary and her son brought me this gift, I was excited! Especially since I knew what was inside! :)

So this is what the Lash Boost looks like when it comes to you.

And then you open it and then....

You get the actual product. I have to say that I absolutely adore the packaging! I love the presentation and I appreciate how it looks! :) I'm more than SUPER proud to finally use it! I think I'll be starting tomorrow! I just need Jade (my other friend who because a consultant) to get her's...and she is going to get hers tomorrow! I'm SUPER excited!

This was a gift from Hillary! A deluxe sample size of their most-loved product the Redefine Regime! I am excited to try this out and see if I should try it out indefinitely. :) I am looking to use the Soothe Regime...but let me try with this one first. :)

And this was the last gift that I got from Hillary! She knew that I really like chap stick, so she added these lip shield chapsticks to my gift back!

I have not yet tested these products, but I am super excited to start, that's for sure! I'll try to keep posting on the results of these products. :)
