Kahala Resort: Oahu, Hawaii

On · 4 Comments

Hello Darlings, With a missed morning flight, detour through Atlanta and 15 hours later I landed on the beautiful island of Oahu, Hawaii. The warmth hitting my face for the first time as I stepped off the airplane felt like heaven after the frigid temperatures in Toronto. In a taxi on the way to Kahala Resort I was mesmerized my the urban metropolis that was unfolding in front of me as we neared the city of Honolulu.

It was around 6pm local time and 11pm Eastern time, the jet lag has yet to present itself. As we drove up to the lobby of Kahala Resort, upon greeting us I received my first welcome lei. Traditionally Hawaiians present lei as a sign of hospitality and welcome to the guests. Upon checking in, I was just in time to catch the golden hour.

Dealing With Success or Failure

On · 1 Comment

Hello Darlings, With a new year comes an opportunity for a new start. It’s not really as if at a strike of midnight our mindframe changes and we magically set out on a different path. Instead, the new year is a starting point that makes us feel encouraged. While I am not the one to particularly believe in resolutions, I do believe that every woman has the opportunity to set forward a change at any given moment. Really nothing else is standing in our way, aside from us? Not as if that midnight call is going to change you as an individual but what it does is give new hope.

So with that hope, comes the drive that we need in succeeding at change. For me change comes from the way I feel about myself as an individual. Having have faced some difficult and testing times that left me feeling at my lowest, I’ve also experienced the opposed — the deluded type of confidence and feeling of being on top of the world. Either side of the spectrum is drastic but finding that balance is what takes the most work. Finding a balance of ensuring that you’re not becoming a disappointing individual when facing success and also not feeling a mess when facing failure. Everything in moderation and that comes with control. Both success and failure change an individual and typically in the worst way.

Shopping for Vacation Wardrobe

On · 2 Comments

Hello Darlings, With December fast approaching and holiday vacations are hopefully weeks away, it’s time to start planning your resort wear. Yes majority of us are focusing on holiday shopping and making to-do lists before the year ends. And I am certain many of you are thinking that I’m nuts for even suggesting it but I assure you there’s a good reason. This is an ideal time to snag amazing summer clothing and bikinis on awesome sales, prior to the arrival of new resort collections.

While shopping for daily wardrobe is a lot easier since majority of us have established what works and what simply doesn’t. It is the resort or vacation wear that is a bit more challenging. Since going on a vacation is a special time and you want to feel great while there, it’s not a good reason to break the bank for an entirely new wardrobe. It seems that many women the moment they hear beach see neon colors, high platforms and palm tree prints. Many of us step outside of our typical likes for looks that many would consider “festive” or vacation appropriate. So if you’re not the one to wear dramatic hats in your everyday life, by no means do you have to do it while away. Go for something that’s your style. Stick to the woman that you are!
