[via] Most of you probably know by now that I'm obsessed with pictures. Or taking pictures. Or probably both. I have over 200 photo albums on my personal Facebook page, over 900 photos on Instagram, and am always running out of memory space on my iPhone and digital camera.  The quote above describes exactly why I love pictures so much. So anyway, although I love photography, I don't know anything about it. I really need to take a class or something. But besides that, it seems like everyone is getting a new camera (like her and  her  and her ) recently. And not just a new one, but a better one. A professional camera. -- And maybe they aren't actually professional cameras but I pretty much call any camera that takes high quality pictures "professional". I've been dying for one. I mean really it's been on my wishlist for years now and since I've started blogging, it's become more evident to me that I do want  need one! i can't e

Make sure to visit some of the blogs in the link up and follow them via GFC   and if you want to leave them a comment, I'm sure they'd appreciate that as well.

[via] I think Jared and I take living in Hawaii for granted. We've experienced a lot here but in my opinion, it's not nearly enough. It's still so weird that we live here. I literally have to say to myself some days "YOU LIVE IN HAWAII"..because I think I forget. I never in a million years would have imagined myself a) living in Hawaii and b) living in Hawaii with my HUSBAND! Yea, the husband part is still crazy to me too. Anyway, when Saturday morning rolled around, Jared and I were having our usual "what are we going to do today?" conversation. I'm so indecisive so this conversation usually lasts for over an hour and consists of us going back and forth with different options. Annoying, I know. It annoys ME so I can only imagine how Jared feels. Thank God he loves me. So, back to the story- we decided to act like tourists for the day. We walked around the city, took pictures, grabbed a snack at a local gem, had lunch on the water (at a to

[via] I'm looking for a few good tenants.. not for my head (although you can stay there too if you'd like) but for my sidebar! I never made a formal announcement but I'm sure that a lot of you have noticed that I am now offering advertising options here on the blog. I have been beyond amazed at the growth of this little blog that I started less than 6 months ago. Additionally, my social media following is growing more than I could have ever expected. I am truly amazed/ grateful/ excited!!! Check out my advertising page for stats, details, and pricing. I also have a few spots open for my first ever group giveaway which will start next week. Contact me if you're interested in participating! I would love to help your blog/shop grow while mine does too.

She has my back when no one else does. She let's me cry when I need to cry. She let's me bitch when I need to bitch. She supports my crazy decisions. She embraces my flaws. I'm really lucky to have a friend like her.

One of the (many) benefits of living in Hawaii is the scenery.. it's basically a blogger's dream. Imagine all of the fun photo shoots you could have! That being said, one of my favorite memories of our time in Hawaii thus far is our underwater photo shoot. Yep. You heard that right. Underwater. Photo shoot. Yes, it is as cool as it sounds. This is when I discovered that I am a horrible kisser underwater. I love that Jared looks like a ninja. We chose Waimea Bay as the setting of the shoot because... well I'm not really sure why but it was awesome. I had never swam so deep into the ocean. It was actually quite liberating.  All of the photos were taken by Marina Miller of Red Heart Photo . SHE IS AMAZING. Seriously. Besides her obvious talent, she's an all-around cool chick. If you ever visit Hawaii (or if you live here), I highly suggest that you book a shoot with her.  Marina suggested that we stay fully clo
