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??

Happy 2015!!

I just wanted to drop in and say Happy New Year!! It's been a while since I've posted, but the holidays really came fast, and I was ill prepared this year! I always say that I'm going to be on top on the season, and somehow it just gets away from me.  I'm already preparing myself for this year!  I really want to be able to enjoy the holidays, unlike this year I felt so rushed and so tired.  I'm currently recovering from a holiday hangover!  I feel so off!  I spent the first weekend of the year in bed.  I think a lot of it has to do with the weather we've been having.  It's so weird.  We've been experiencing some record breaking low temperatures.  Which in no means is nearly as low as those of you in the mainland, but it is very cold for us here in the islands.  I feel like a bear, that hibernates for the winter! Also, I think the holiday junk food and overload of snacks has my body feeling extra sluggish!  I need to get back into a routine, and get productive!  Another thing I need to get back into routine is this blog...I know you've heard it many, many times before, but this time I am really going to do it!! I feel like I need an extra month to prepare for the new year!! Or at least can I restart the year?? What about you?  Are you on the new year from the 1st day or are you a little late like me??

Falling for Autumn







Hi! Hi! I just wanted to check in, and share a little pinterest love!! I am a sucker for great scenic views!  Since it's Fall, I wanted to share some of these awesome pics that I found on pinterest!!  I love the colors of the Autumn leaves!!! It is so pretty!  I wish in Hawaii, we experience a real Fall season.  We don't really see too much of a season change here, other than temperature, maybe a bit more rain, the sun goes down earlier, and maybe some trees will change a little.  Other than that, it's pretty much the same all year.  Thanksgiving is approaching, and I did already see some mall with Christmas trees up before Halloween.  Ugh! As soon as we know it, BLACK FRIDAY will be here, then we will be hearing Christmas songs on repeat while we're scrambling to wrap gifts to get them out by Christmas day!!  EEK! I will vow to make a noble effort to be as much prepared as possible!  I always start off good, then I kinda peek early, then at the blink of an eye it's the week of Christmas, and I'm still shopping!  All this Christmas talk, is getting me stressed!! 
Are you an early shopper?  Do you start bringing out the decorations the week before Halloween, or are you a last minute everything like me?

Do you have pinterest?  Check out my pins! 

Happy Fall!!

Halloween Tags












It's that time of the year again!!! October! Halloween!! Yes!! I love Halloween!! Every year I think all year long about ideas for potential costumes.  I always do this, in hopes that I will be well prepared with a costume, but it never fails, here I am the week of Halloween and I'm scrambling for a costume! UGH! I have so many great ideas, so why can't I nail it down and get it going?!! I think the only answer I can really come up with, is too much excitement over the season! That combined with a little(a lot) of procrastination.  I love giving goodies out for Halloween!! Honestly, when it comes to the kiddies I don't like to give them all candy.  I like giving them a little tricks too.  Here are some tags that I made for this Halloween.  I made all of these tags with my cricut, using the Create a critter 2 cartridge for the images, and the tags, bags, and boxes cartridge for the tags.  I will post more to follow! 

Do you dress up?  What are you going to be this year?  What is your fave Halloween treat?

Kalua Pig Nachos


Hi! Hi!! It's been awhile! I just wanted to share one of my go to dishes! It's great for football season!!   For those of you that don't know what kalua pork is, kalua in Hawaiian means to cook in an underground oven or an imu.  In a nutshell it is pork cooked in an underground oven.  It is shredded and served. You can totally make this in the oven, but traditionally it's made in the imu.   I first discovered this awesome dish at a local bar, and thought it was so delish!  Then I found it on foodland.com  and I had to try it.  It's been a hit every time, so now it's one of my go to dishes!  It's so easy and so yummy!! I make mine a little different from the recipe.

Kalua Pig Nachos

-Any type of corn chips (I usually use Tostitos chips)
-1 container of Kalua Pig
-Shredded cheeses of your choice (at least bags)
-1 container of lomi lomi salmon (or make your own)
-1-2 avocados
-1 lemon
-1 container of Sour Cream
-Chili Pepper water
-1 bunch Green Onion chopped
-1 bottle sliced Jalepenos

*Preheat oven to 350 degrees F
-I don't use guacamole for in my recipe, but feel free to use it if you'd like.  Instead, I mash the fresh avocados, juice the juice of half of the lemon, and sprinkle a little salt.  Mash it all together, until it comes smooth.  The lemon should help smooth it out.  Set that on the side for later.
-For the lomi salmon, you can buy ready made or make your own by, dicing up tomatoes, onions, green onions, and chopped salted salmon.
-Prep you sour cream by adding chili pepper water to your sour cream, you may squeeze some of the left over lemon in it if you'd like.
-To make things easier I use a foil pan, spray it lightly with cooking spray
- Add some chips  to cover the bottom of the pan
-Add some cheese on top of chips,
-Add some Kalua Pig,
 Keep layering the cheese, chips, and Kalua until you have your desired amount
-Put the pan in the oven for 5-10 mins, until the cheese is melted
-Once you remove the pan from the oven, add the rest of your ingredients
-Top the chips with the avocados
-Now add the sour cream
-Then add the lomi salmon
-Next add the green onions
-Finally top it off with the sliced jalepenos
*Serve hot and Enjoy!

*I have made this with liquid cheese, it does get soggy faster, but it doesn't dry out as fast as the shredded cheese does.  Usually it's gone before it gets too soggy or dry.  Use your own judgement, it tastes awesome either way!   Sometimes liquid cheese is a little expensive, unless you're buying the huge can size.
Have you made this before?  What's your go to dishes? What are your football fav dishes?

Cheers to the weekend!!!
