BIG ISLAND TRIP

Aug 1- 5, 2016

I spent five days on the beautiful island of Hawai'i. Here are some of the photos that I did capture. It surely was't enough to truly show how my trip went because I kept forgetting to capture those moments. This trip was so lay back and chill that I kind of wanted to disconnect from technology for a bit. It felt nice to not always pick up my camera and worry about getting the shots I wanted. It was surely a trip I needed before going back to school and I had one of the best "tour guides" to take me all around the island, Ms.Zaira <3

Long Kona drives

Zaira's grandparents had the cutest house for us to stay at at. I loved their little porch. One of my favorite things was waking up and falling asleep to the sound of rain and being able to look out and see and the greenery.

Downtown Hilo was another one of my favorites because of all the character that it held. I loved how it looked like a mixture of Paia and Makawao Town. We literally ate all Mom and Pop shops and little hole in the wall places. 

Also Downtown Hilo had so many plain and rustic walls, perfect for OOTD or jumping with flowers. :)

 When theres no sand on Hilo beaches so you gotta tan on Lava rocks.

It was a awesome trip and a perfect way to spend my 22nd birthday. The struggle was real with the vog and coqui frogs, they were so loud! But I loved how it rained every morning and every night. Rain on Kahului is rare so I totally was tripping out seeing how much it rained there. If you want to go somewhere where you can totally disconnect I would totally recommend going the Big Island.

Farewell and be well,

The month of April was very stressful, tiring but a blessing. Not only was I jugging school, work and working on Sandy and James music video and slideshow but I was dealing with all the emotions that came along with it. My dearest friend Zaira was coming down from the Big Island for the weekend and I was so excited to spend time with her. I was a nervous wreck for presenting Youreprettyodd Productions to the public for the first time but overall it all came out to be fine as most situations do. To end the month, I got a serious case of pinkeye in both eyes that lasted for 10 days, TEN HORRIBLE DAYS and thats it. :)

Farewell and be well,
