In 2017, we stayed up in Ka'anapali on the northwestern side of the island but we ended upthe snorkeling on the southwest side of the island best--down by Kihei/Wailea--but it was at least an hour drive down there each time, making for a 2-hour round trip just for some snorkel time. The downside was that if it was windy, our room had a bit of a drafty breeze that swept through it, but overall our room was amazing, the pool was nice and refreshing, and the hotel was on the best snorkeling reef we found this time around in Maui. We'd wake up each morning and hit the really nice hotel gym (seriously the nicest hotel gym I've ever been to) before it was time to go in the water. Last year, we took a trip out to Lanai with the Hawaiian Ocean Project on a snorkeling day trip.

It's been two years since I shared a beauty tutorial, but I've received a lot of questions recently about how to achieve a slicked-back, simple bun with no fly-aways. This is my go-to option during the week, taking less than 3-minutes to fix up and with a secure hold that will stay all day. I love this bun style because it can be used and modified for (almost) all hair lengths (as long as you can get your hair into a bun).Give it a shot and let me know how you like it!

It didn't take long to fill our fanny packs with some sweet finds at Bob Creek outside Yachats, and while we didn't count the agates this trip, we sure found quite a haul. We pondered around a gift shop and headed back to Florence, loving the time we spent down there (gift shop, food, drive), but the weather down south from Florence was in the low 40's, cloudy, and drizzly, while it was back up in the 60's and sunny where we were staying. But it was still a pretty surreal thing to just watch these little (or big, in Daniel's case) agates wash up at our feet time and time again. We didn't count our agates this trip, but this time it wasn't so much about that.

Washington in July, Orlando in September, San Diego in October, Oregon Coast in November, and soon to be Hawaii this month. We are always going, always working, always doing schoolwork, always giving of our time in so many different areas--traveling is the one thing we doand Between travel, golf league, both being in school, fantasy football, family, church group, friends, and our date nights--You're my road trip buddy, my airplane copilot, my snorkeling companion, my beach walk agate-hunter, my golf teammate, my snake-hunting hiker, my game-day co-fanatic, my prayer partner,.
