I went to Denver for the first time last February and had a mini reunion with a couple of my sorority sisters. Some people like traveling to brand new places all by themselves, but I personally love going somewhere a local can show me around or going with someone who’s been there before. This time, […]

Foodie Fridays: Hawai’i Edition
There’s a ton of reasons I love going home to Hawai’i and one of them is definitely the food. I’m a total fat kid at heart and there’s nothing like some ono grinds (delicious food)! Luckily I have awesome friends who are (literally) always down to eat and take me to all the hot spots […]
Aloha 2016
2016. Oh, what a year. 2016 marked my first full year in Texas and the longest I’ve gone without going home to my beloved Hawai’i nei. It’s been one helluva a year but I’m so ready for 2017. I’m definitely a social media addict (typical millennial) and I love these dumb top 9 photos from your […]
I may be a dark Asian girl, but don’t be fooled. I’m as basic as they come. I love Starbucks and Chipotle and if I really had a need for it, I’d own a pair of Ugg boots. I like what I like and I’m not ashamed of it. So, when I hit up a new […]
The Margaret Hunt Hill Bridge A little over a year ago, I packed my car with a ton of clothes, my beloved Xbox and one of my best friends and made the 15 hour trek from Phoenix, Arizona to Dallas, Texas. It felt a little unreal when we cruised through Las Cruces and then […]
The YOLO Trip: Santa Fe, NM
In an attempt to chronicle my traveling excursions, I’m going to retroactively post about past trips. I don’t know about you, but sometimes I like to scroll through my IG feed to remember what I did, where I went – sometimes even what I wore (insert monkey covering mouth emoji here). It’s crazy to me […]
I love coffee. Or maybe I’m just a caffeine addict. Coffee is definitely an acquired taste, a taste I learned while doing all nighters at Old Main at UofA. But even though I’ve been a loyal Starbucks Gold Card member since 2010 (and I say that a little too proudly), I can’t say hands down […]
Poke, NOT Poki
It seems like one of the more popular ‘food trends’ of this year is the poke bowl. Growing up in Hawai’i poke was a food staple and when I first moved to the mainland, it was really hard finding a place that serves poke so it’s kind of weird seeing it take off as a […]
The Big D Chapter
It has been 257 days since I left the desert to embark on the next chapter of my life in Dallas, a.k.a. “The Big D.” There was a time when I said I would never live in Texas and I never in a million years would I have imagined that a little island girl like […]
