Sweets and Swings

Sweets and Swings

Is there anything more fun than a SWING at the Beach? Every beach should have a swing! Besides swinging, hiking in the mountains and tree climbing is another one of my favorite things to do.

Rambutan Christmas Tree

I didn’t have enough Christmas ornaments so I decided decorate my Christmas tree with big red festive Rambutan!!! Edible ornaments and just in time for the holidays 🙂 perfect!!

Raw Vegan Chocolate

I’ve also been making a TON of super yummy organic raw vegan Chocolate lately, it’s so fun. And very delicious!! Much healthier than store bought chocolate. I only use the best ingredients and make chocolate in small batches.

Blue Sky Beaches

Blue Sky Beaches

Hi everybody!! It’s been warm Blue Skies and beautiful Beaches lately. Here in Hawaii August, September and October are usually the hottest months of the year. Perfect for jumping in the Ocean! The other day a Sea Turtle surprised me by swimming right past.

There are 63 miles of accessible coastline here and my favorite way to spend a sunny afternoon! I slather myself with reef safe natural Sunscreen (I make my own) pack some fruit & Smoothies and find a shady spot in the sand….

Misty Mountains

Misty Mountains

Hi everybody! I hope you’re all having a safe and super fun summer! I can’t believe it’s already August. Wow!! We’re having a glorious Summer here in Hawaii and the tourists are back. Lychees, Mangoes, and Soursops are all ripe right now….YUM!!

Also check out these lovely white Cucumbers below. So crisp & crunchy! It’s amazing to be able to get much of my fruit & veggies grown from within a few a blocks of my house. Talk about eating local organic!!

Misty Mountain Meanders

Hiking in the Misty Mountains, befriending horses and admiring all the gorgeous Tropical Flowers that bloom here all year!

Cookie Crazy

I’ve been hiking & swimming when I can (been working a lot!!!) and practicing my raw & baked Vegan Gluten free COOKIE making. These raw vegan Chocolate Chip Macadamia nut cookies turned out so well, even in the dehydrator!

I was shocked how much they taste like a baked cookie.  It’s been a really fun and tasty challenge and my friends have been delighted with my results so far. Muffin Making will be next!!

Kitty Kisses

Cookies and kitties!! My little rescued Kitty Cat Piku knows how to get comfy….ha!!

Palm Tree Breeze

Palm Tree Breeze

Rainbows and Road Trips

Rainbows and Road Trips

Hi everybody! We’re having a really nice summer here so far, so warm. Lychees and Mountain Apples are ripe! Lots of rainbows lately, it’s nice to have the rain even during these hot days. And lots of tourists here now! 

I had a super fun time traveling back to the mainland, did a road trip from Arizona to southern California, and cruised up and down the California coast which is one of my favorite things to do 🙂 and got to visit Seattle too.

Here are pictures from Arizona, up and down the coast from Newport to San Diego and Seattle. These beaches in La Jolla are so spectacular!
