Don't believe me, just watch!



This is so awesome!! Bruno was on Ellen the other day, and hit knocked it out of the park again!! This song is so catchy, whenever I hear it, my legs start moving, hips start swaying! Love, love, love it!!  I think it's so cool how they got the audience to participate with the performance!! I have to admit, I have watched this almost 20 times since Tuesday!! There's something about it that puts a smile on my face!! I love the lyrics to this song!! I can't stop thinking, how awesome it would've been if he had this song last year when he came home to Hawaii!  Seeing this live in concert, would be amazing!!  I think, what if he did have this song last year...when he performed it would he change the hallelujah to honolulu?! haha!  It has a nice ring to it.... Girls hit your HONOLULU!  The best part is, "don't believe me, just watch!"  I love it!  I am determined to learn the moves that they do to this song! Does it count as part of my fitness regimen? :) This brightens my day, I hope it brightens yours!


Enjoy!!

THIS IS THE BEGINNING OF ANYTHING YOU WANT


This must be a record, I'm blogging 2 days in a row!! YES!! Winning! haha!  I've decide to make a twist on my pinspirations and make a little collage out of them!  I usually grab 7 pinspirations from my pinterest page, and do an entry on them.  This is my January pinspriations!  A little bit of motivation, a little bit of fitness, a dab of wanderlust, a pinch of reading, you get the picture.  I really need to get back into diet and exercise, so this 30 day ab and squat challenge can't start soon enough!  I love the idea of the gift card every paycheck, I think I will need to put them in a lock box so I don't try using it on myself! ahah! I like the idea of getting ready for Christmas throughout the year!  Can't be too prepared!  The reading challenge is something that I try to do every year, but rarely gets done.  I try to read something everyday, whether it be email, online articles, newspaper, magazine, etc., but books is one that I hardly ever get around to doing.  I'm not really into Ereading, I love books with pages, the sound of pages flipping, I like to write notes, make tabs, and my fave is the smell of the paper.  I already have my eye on some books, so first things first is to get to the book store!  The 52 weeks money challenge is something that I tried last year, but sadly I failed and believe me I'm still kicking myself for it.  That's why I am so determined to accomplishing this in 2015!  You set aside the amount of money of the week of the year.  For example, the first week of the year, you put $1 away.  The second week, you put $2 away, and so on, until the last week of the year.  You should have $1378 by week 52!  So far, I'm $3 richer! YAY!  Who couldn't use a little extra money at the end of the year?! This year, I am going to be very money conscious and make it a goal to be money smart.  It's a very hard challenge, especially if you love to shop! eek!  Another pinspiration is to travel!! I hardly travel, and I'm getting to a point in my life where I'm thinking, why the hell not?? Get on a plane and go somewhere! :) I can't wait to see what this year has in store for me!  
What are your resolutions, goals, challenges of this year/month??

It's Going To Be A Great Year!

Well...I haven't been here in a while!! I just wanted to start off by saying Happy 2014!! I hope everyone had a safe and happy holidays!! I just wanted to share a few things that I want to implement for the new year! I'm not going to be too ambitious and list a whole whopping list of resolutions and stuff like that.  I've realized that I need to take small steps in the right directions to make things happen.  Plus too, I've already broken some resolutions that I would put on the list! eek!!

The 1 thing that I do want to mention, is this money saver that I'm going to do immediately!  I will be $1378 richer by the end of 2014! :)  This is news to my ears, because at the end of the year, I am always broke ass!! With Christmas gift buying and celebrating in all the holiday cheer, there's never any money left for any extras!  I read this article on The Broke Ass Bride  about 14 ways to save money this year! It's very practical and really puts things realistically into perspective.  Every week of the year you put the amount of what week of the year it is.  Week 1 you put $1 in, Week 2 = $2, Week 3 = $3, and so on all the way until 52 weeks.  Totaling $1378 by the last week of the year.  I am excited to do this, because it's hard to put yourself on a structured money saving plan.( well for me anyways)

Here's a helpful reminder to look at and help reach your goal! 


Another money saver that I do is when I'm in the car and going to McDonald's or some other fast food joint, and there's couple dollars change I put it on the side and save it for things like parking money or for those rare occasions that I do valet and need some tip money.  It had come in handy on more than 1 occasion this past year, and boy have I been grateful for those few extra bucks.


For my first parting shot of the year, I wanted to share a rather hard to see shot but one that I find symbolic in hopes to a great year!  

 
This was my drinking cup on New Years ever, after the big bang at midnight when I went to grab my cup I was surprised to see that I had pieces of firecrackers in my cup!  For those of you that don't know, in Hawaii for New Years there are a lot of customs and traditions that we partake in.  One being popping firecrackers to ward off evil for the new year.  Being the big traditionalist that I am, you can see why I am excited to have firecrackers land in my celebratory drink!  
Cheers to 2014!!
It's going to be a great year!
