EIGHT SHOTS FOR SEPTEMBER 2018
- #HAWAII
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!

SIX SHOTS FOR JUNE 2018
1. THREE’S COMPANY
We adopted Benji not knowing for sure how he would fit in with the crew. Blanca has totally fallen in love with him. When they kiss…it’s shameful to watch because their love affair is so bold. They play, dangle toys in each other’s faces to start a play fight, and sleep together.
Blanca protects him from Bella, the mean chihuahua. Read more here!
2. BLOGGER
I am a blogger. Not necessarily a great one, but a blogger just the same! I blog when I have time and it helps me to remain organized. If you do not think it’s hard or time consuming, you should try it and see where you are in 3 months!
One of the main things I still blog about is fashion! I have been in fashion for a zillion years and I still work for Johnny Was Clothing. I love to blog and share some of my favorite Johnny Was designs, such as this amazing Love & Liberty top/tunic/coverup ! The sad part is that I only have been sharing 1/10th of the items that I get from Johnny Was so I really want to challenge myself on that moving forward!
3. ABDUCTED
I do actually have a brother. I drove with him to Austin last month to check on a job opportunity. I decided to treat him to a late lunch at The Oasis on Lake Travis before heading back home.
It’s complicated to discuss my brother because he’s such a private person and here I am with the utmost transparency. We do not see eye to eye. On much of anything. I can’t really go into it, but it was nice to take a quick road trip and try to connect. I can say this, intelligence and sanity do not often hold hands and skip through life together. I prefer to think that intelligence can overcome dysfunctionalism but it’s often not the case. Who is actually to say what is or is not functional anyway. We’ve created a gerbil wheel for out lives that a lot of people are not innately predisposed towards being able to stay on long term and succeed by the legal definition of success that we have allowed to be defined for us by the world.
He doesn’t really agree with the gerbil wheel way of life. He’s read more books than any other 30 people combined but whether or not any of that knowledge is being used is unapparent to me. Intelligence without action is moronic. So we have out debates. He lived with us until recently but I don’t think we met his standards as human beings. It was funny that he would let me snap a picture in this crazy UFO thing and we decided it could be his new Facebook profile shot because it is pretty funny because he recalls a crazy dream in which he woke up from being prodded by aliens and was sore. We joke about the possibility of him having demon children in another galaxy from the alien/demons trying to mate with humans. So yeah, the spaceship thing is hysterical.
4. MALIBU
I made a quick run to Los Angeles for a couple of reasons. I treated myself to a nice oceanside dinner alone at Moonshadows in Malibu. As the waves crashed in, I realized that a Pomeranian was sitting in the chair next to me with his lonely hoo-man mom on his other side. I made a mental note to get out more and be more social because I do not want to end up like that. Living a great life…alone.
The food was great at Moonshadows. I had zipped around up into the Calabasas area beforehand and enjoyed an adventurous few hours. Being alone…although peaceful, is not ideal. There’s nobody to share things with. Although I enjoyed the waves crashing in as I treated myself to a glass of champagne, I do not plan on making a habit of travel alone!
5. THE PLAN TO SAVE THE WORLD
I love this photo (photographer unknown) of our President. The photo was part of an amazing 13 minute video entitle Q, The Plan to Save the World.” If you do not know anything about the Q movement, or if you do not follow #Qanon on 8Chan, then you should really give your country a few minutes to get some insight.
I have been following the Q movement since October and I find it crazy that the mainstream media does not ever mention it. Ever. It’s exciting to see what’s going on behind the scenes! Click the photo of President Trump to view the breathtaking video. Pray for clarity before you watch in case you’ve already been zombified and are unable to comprehend. There is theft within out government, satanism worse than you could possibly imagine and as arrests and indictments continue to leak, slowly we will see how bad off we were. Pray before you watch the video, and you will see that there is a reason a lot of us research, believe, support and follow.
6. #BENJIGRAM
Benji apparently got a hold of my phone (those crazy kids). His post is copied below!
Hi! My name is Benji! I am super happy with my new home, my new mom and I even have a really hot girlfriend named Blanca! We love each other so much and play together all day! Mom doesn’t mind that I drool a little bit because of my jaw injury. My new family is very understanding. They love me so much and let me sleep in the big hoo-man bed at night! I don’t feel sad anymore from being dirty, hungry and hurt from the mean person that broke my jaw. Please consider adopting a homeless pet when you’re prepared to love #furever.
