Field Trip: Aulani Resort in Hawaii

Malia — Tue, 21 Feb 2012 17:00:00 -0800

Aloha! I am so happy to be back to blogging. Gosh I have missed you all. Forgive me for being late with my visits to your blogs. I can't wait to stop by. My family and I just got back from a trip to the new Aulani Resort and Spa on Oahu. Quite simply: it was magical. I have a lot to share but I think I'll start with some images of Aulani itself. Translated from Hawaiian, Aulani means "messanger." It is a Disney property, but the "Disney-ness" is very understated. The amazing beauty and heritage of Hawaii shines through...

Measure the belt material against your wrist, allowing for bracelet clasps on either side. Sew the bracelet and belt material together. Repeat on other side. A blank canvas! Attach jump ring and fastener to one side. Now...

Vintage YoT: Interview with Keren from FPTFY

Malia — Sat, 18 Feb 2012 05:00:00 -0800

Hi! I wanted to share a "vintage" edition of my Behind the Blog series-- with a blogger who is as genuine and sweet as the vintage images she shares... Keren from Free Pretty Things For You. She's even gifting us with a darling new image right here-- at the end of the post. How did “Free Pretty Things For You” come about?

As I searched and applied for work online,...
