Serious question — am I the only one not really feeling this new year vibe?! With as much as I wish to proclaim, “2018 will be my year!” Deep down I know not to hold my breath. As a matter of fact, I actually plan to breathe more. Rather than suffocating myself with the pressure of […]
Airplanes are a crazy kind of situation, you’re neither in the place you’ve been, nor in the place you’re going. You are above the world at peace, reflecting on the experiences you’ve encountered while manifesting the possibility of what’s yet to come. Two Five years ago, as I traveled through the clouds in route to my next […]
What began as an Instagram obsession, blossomed into a genuine friendship the moment my girl Fit Andy let me in on a big secret she was keeping. “I’m pregnant!” she screamed with the giddiest smile on her face. Just when I thought I couldn’t be more inspired by this badass babe, the confidence she carried while […]
We’ve heard it time and time again, the age-old saying— “happiness is a choice.” But like, WTF does it even mean?!

I love sharing the stories of ambitious women living life on their own terms, because I truly […]
With as much as I would love to be a yogi, busting out headstands like it’s NBD, or a rad surfer that shreds waves like a pro. The reality is, I’m a marathon junkie who conquers finish line after self-accomplishing finish line like a true badass. Seriously, nothing gets me more hot and bothered than […]
Between having my mom as a roommate and saying goodbye to my year round tan, transition from mermaid to mainlander has been a far cry from your typical “happily ever after.” I’m not going to lie, I slipped into a low-key depression after letting go of life in Hawaii. I mean think about it, people dread […]
In the eyes of a mainlander, life in Hawaii seems like an endless vacation, full of sunshine and surf. Even though we don’t have society’s typical nine-to-five doesn’t mean we don’t work. In fact, the most driven people on these islands clock in at sunrise and hustle hard until the sunset. Take for instance, July’s Mermaid […]
