DO MORE OF WHAT MAKES YOU HAPPY

Do more of what makes you happy, I cannot stress this enough. Sometimes I get so caught up with all my responsibilities, thinking (worrying) about my future that I end up not enjoying life itself.  It saddens me when I see myself all stressed out for no reason. Here's a couple bible verses that help me when I get too caught up with life and maybe they can help you. 

Mathew 6:34 

Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Today has enough trouble of its own.

Jeremiah 29:11

For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope.

Everyone has their hopes and dreams that they want to reach and we work hard to get there but don't forget to do things you love in between. Don't let life stress you out. Take a breather and do more of what makes you happy. 

I'm writing this post because I've been in a rut lately. I've been letting the stress of work and school get the best of me, I wasn't making the time to do the things that I love and creating videos is one thing that makes me the happiest girl. 

Below Mario and I did a little video of our favorite fall outfits. And yes Hawaii doesn't really have a fall but we can dream right? Enjoy! 

So ask yourself this, what makes me happy? And when you get your answer do more of it.

I wanted to see if I still had it in me to do these types of videos. So heres a quick lookbook that Mario and I did one day. Enjoy!

A Day At Bigs

I finally got my hands on a new camera. Shout out to Brandon Haros for selling me his Lumix GH4. I'm super stoked about stepping up my quality for my future videos. The other day Mario and I went to Big Beach and we shot some clips testing it out. Here are some of my favorite shots that I got from this video.

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

 You know you're a true friend when you play both of your Pokemon Go during the drives to places

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,
