My brother refers to me as Cyndi Lauper. When I am rushing, I have a tendency to throw on a lot of bold pieces instead of t-shirts and sweat pants. Fortunately, my husband is South American so he thinks bold colors and styles are fun. We wouldn’t be married if I dressed like a school teacher from 1985. So there’s that.
I get dressed every single day with care when I go to work, so it’s hard to make myself be proper and acceptable on my days off. I throw on whatever and go. The thing is, my closet is wonderful since I work in retail management. When I try to get dressed like a regular person, it’s a time consuming challenge, so it doesn’t happen often.
This day, was a shopping and movie day so comfort was the thing. When I say shopping, I don’t mean shopping. We do not shop for fun, mindless purchases. It may be coffee, a cell phone repair and a health supplement errand. I don’t want to make it seem like this man takes me to Louis Vuitton or anything. I am lucky if he will step inside a Ross or TJ Maxx. There was that one time in a Prada store in Paris, but that was once in a 10 year span of time.
At this point in my life, having a lot of stuff is not my goal. Time, cash and cutting down on my acquisition of meaningless things is my focus. Learning, staying focused on reality and being a loving person are important. It is just as easy to throw on something fun though, than something that resembles vomit.
We ended up taking a last minute vacation to visit Maui again in September. I had always wanted to go back and take better pictures, as well as visit Hana again. Before our reservations at Mama’s Fish House…we took a few shots in their beachfront yard. There were couples and families everywhere trying to take selfies, so I enjoyed offering help with their photos! Mama’s Fish house was wonderful and a dinner with an ocean front view that I will never forget!
2. #ALOHA
On the way back from Hana…we pulled over to snap pictures of this perfect rainbow! My husband loves rainbows (and puppies) so we were sort of competing with who could get the perfect shot. Maui is a magical place and everyone should be able to go once in their lifetime. We toy with the idea of one day moving there, but for now we are happy with where we are.
3. #ART
We woke up to feed to Koi in our hotel’s pond every morning. They were so big and their eyes are so big that they seem like little dogs to us! I wanted to pick one up and hug it but the koi wouldn’t have liked that I’m sure.
4. #BREAKTIME
Mama’s Fish House has an amazing beach front view…and as we were waiting for our reservations, this turtle had come up on the beach for a rest. He was huge! It was nice to see nature undisturbed and doing it’s thing.
5. #SAILINGOFFINTOTHESUNSET
Our last night there, we just sat and enjoyed the sunset together. We rented a studio near Whaler’s Village and the beaches there were great.
6. #KSTENNISUSA
He is always going a million miles per hour. Sitting still and quiet is a rare thing. So this was a special moment. Watching him quietly enjoy the beach and sunset, trying to Iphone the perfect photo.
7. #HANA
I have wanted to get back to Hana for about 5 years! The Road to Hana is magical to me. It’s partially jungle overlooking the ocean. It’s got winding roads with one lane bridges …which you really shouldn’t drive on your own. It’s best to take a tour because the drivers are used to the dangerous curves and one lane areas of road. It also frees you up to enjoy the view. This is not the type of road trip that the driver can afford to take their eyes off of the road.
8. #WIFELEADSHUSBAND
This is funny because there are those great photos from the travel blogger couple that shoots all of their photos this way…I think it’s #girlleadsboyfriendallovertheglobe or something…but either way my husband is getting artsy! We were probably on our way back from our most recent shaved ice visit. Most of my photos end up across my instagram @stephaniedawnsjoberg or @bosscatbeauty for the beauty related posts!
