Pillbox Hike

Hi there! Just sharing with you another of my amazing Hawaiian adventures... hiking at Pillbox! The Lanikai Pillbox Hike is one of the most picturesque hiking trails in Oahu. It is considered an "intermediate" hike which rises just above the gorgeous Lanikai Beach. Despite the steep climb, hikers are rewarded with breathtaking views of Mokulua Islands, Kailua Beach, Lanikai Beach and the surrounding residential properties.

It's a 1 hour or more hike, depending how far you want to go. It's called the "Pillbox" hike because of the old military pillbox bunkers that you encounter during the hike where you can stop to sit and rest and just marvel at the grandiose views.  These Pillbox bunkers are now decorated with some pretty cool street art where I had a blast taking photos at.

One thing to remember, wear the right shoes and bring lots of water because it can get really hot! I had a bad sunburn because poor me forgot to put sunscreen. But at the end of the day, this hike was a truly amazing experience and I was just absolutely mesmerized! Hope you like the photos! =)

Swimming with the Turtles

Travelling is all about one adventure after another. While in Hawaii, I made sure to jampack as many adventures as I can. From hiking up mountains, waterfalls, skydiving, boating and one of my favorites... an underwater photoshoot where I actually got to see Turtles!

I had the opportunity to have an underwater photoshoot with Makani, who specializes in underwater photography. I have done underwater shots in a pool before but it's my first time doing it in the ocean. I thought it would be as easy as the pool shoot, but big waves and clouds really made the experience difficult but I must say... absolutely worth it!

With protection, Hawaii's reefs have become safe for these beautiful and gentle creatures. There are laws that protect marine life and the turtles should not be disturbed nor touched. They do roam freely in the ocean and when you see them... just be amazed at their beauty and enjoy the lifetime memory of the experience of seeing them.

I am truly thankful to Makani for this amazing experience and for making me feel comfortable diving in the waves. I am so happy with the breathtaking shots he took and I am so excited to share them with you.

Shoes are my tiny heaven on earth. Yes,I admit, I'm a certified shoe-aholic! That's why I was more than ecstatic when I was contacted by Shoedazzle and JustFab Shoes to attend their Ambassador event in Vegas as one of their Brand Influencers. Can't stop doing my happy dance because... SHOES!!! Lol!

For the event, I was sent the HAILY shoes in Blue Stripes. It's this gorgeous high wedge that's just so perfect for summer! Check out how pretty it is in my summer look! This pair was so comfy too that I could party all day in it at Shoedazzle and JustFab's Vegas Pool Party!

I had a grand time meeting the gorgeous ladies from Shoedazzle and JustFab as well as meeting fellow Brand Influencers. Great food and cocktails were served and I had so much fun putting on a ton of gold tattoos! These ladies sure know how to party!

I soooo love Shoedazzle and JustFab's shoe designs and I can't wait to try another pair!
