Hi, ladies. 🙂 Happy Saturday. This was me at Shark’s Cove yesterday. Snorkeling was a lot of fun. When I get back to California in a couple days, I swear I’m going to get a pair of fins and snorkels to use at the community swimming pool. I don’t care if it makes me look crazy.
Right now I’m sitting here in the living room of my in-law’s place listening to the oldie’s radio station (which they listen to constantly) and sipping some coffee.
Let me know what you’re up to this weekend. I hope you’re having a good one.
It’s hard to look graceful walking in swim fins…
Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,
Karen
Wow the audio is crystal clear. It sounds like I’m right there by the waves (I wish!). Enjoy Hawaii!
Hi CC,
I wish you were here, too. 🙂 How’s your weekend going?
Yowza, Hawaii looks amazing!! Actually a friend of mine is there right now visiting family. I am so jealous. I’ve never been there and instead of going on vacay this summer I’ll be cramped up taking calls for people ordering outdoor swimming pools and the lot. oh, the irony.
hopefully i’ll make enough to go to hawaii myself 😛 Hope you keep having fun Karen!!
Hi Stephie,
Oh the irony indeed. 🙂 Summer jobs are always good, though — money in the pocket never hurts.
BTW, how did the wedding makeup gig go?
wow that looks gorgeous!
Hi Nikki,
It was a really nice day — the water was really calm and clear. 🙂
Oh my….Hawaii is really beautiful! Looks like your summer has already started 😉

Hi Vonvon,
It’s going to rough going back to the cold Bay Area weather… sigh!
How’s your weekend going so far? Doing anything exciting?
Wow that’s a breathtaking view! I’m so jealous!
Hi Shiny,
It’s one of my favorite spots on the island. Whenever we visit I try to stop by.
Hope you’re having a good weekend so far!
That looks amazing! And so do you, even while snorkeling. 😉
I saw one turtle at Hanauma Bay while snorkeling, but I heard from friends who went to Maui and snorkeled at random beaches that there were tons of turtles there, swimming alongside them.
Wish I could be back in Hawaii… but we’ve got sunny weather here, so I can’t complain too much :). To answer your previous question: I was at an MRI conference – they hold it in a different location each year; it was my first year, and I was lucky to be able to go to Hawaii!
Hi Kypris,
Aww, thanks! I had no makeup on, hence the big glasses, LOL!
I have *never* seen a turtle while snorkeling. I bet that was amazing!
Hopefully your conference will be held at a fun destination next year. I’ll keep my fingers crossed and hope that you’ll come back to Oahu! Hey, ya never know, right?
Oh, completely jealous! Looks like you’re having a blast!
Hi Stacie,
It’s been relaxing and fun — just what I needed. How’s your weekend going?
Simply Gorgeous!
Maybe I should stop by my local beach this weekend [only 10 minutes away ;)], though I know it can’t compare.
Hi Zara,
I’m so jealous that you live only ten minutes away from the beach. When I lived in SF the beach was literally right down the street. I miss that!
*Le Sigh* Here in the East Bay, it was 55 degrees and overcast today! Further, Hubby and I are spending a fun-filled weekend cleaning and prepping our house for renters to move in next week! Ahh, the fun never ends! At least I get to snorkel vicariously through you, thanks for that and enjoy! 🙂
Hi Glosslizard,
Oh sounds like fun! How’s the shack in the back looking? 🙂
I heard that you guys had a heatwave recently. I was hoping to come back to warm weather but apparently that ain’t happening!
Hi Karen! Glad that you are having so much fun!
Hi Miss QQ,
How are you? I hope you’re having a good weekend so far!
I really need to go to Hawaii someday 🙁 Looks amazing! Glad to hear you’re having a great time!

Hi Renee,
I hope you get the chance to visit someday. It’s a really magical place. 🙂
Hey Karen!!
You look so good in that picture!!! 🙂 It’ll be nice to have you back blogging full time! Hope your family is doing well too. I had a fun day with some friends- we went to the local Ikea and literally combed through every aisle!! I now have some great closet organizers that I can’t wait to use 🙂 Enjoy the rest of your weekend!
Cheers
Hi Merylynmagic,
Oh, I could spend ALL DAY in Ikea! I love all the organizational knick knacks! I bet your closet is going to look super organized when you’re done.
We will be leaving on Monday so I’ll be back to full-time blogging soon. 🙂
Anyway, how’s your weekend going?
Hey girl!! I’m glad Hawaii is going so well 🙂 That water is gorgeous — jealous!

Hi Rae,
It’s been a lot of fun hanging out with the fam and relaxing. How’s your weekend going?
I love Hawaii! My in-laws live there as well. Lucky us, right?
Enjoy!!!
Kizzy´s last blog post..Funny YouTube shit 😀
Hi Kizzy,
Oh cool! Which island are they on?
Kaaaareeeen!
I just can’t stop watching video of that sea. I’ve been trying to avoid anything connected to sea and summer vacations, and since I live in a beautiful Mediterranean coast town and am surrounded by sea, it’s not that easy…
Now I have such a craving for a swim! But unfortunately my exam period ends July 17. so no vacation before that!
🙁
Hi S,
July is just around the corner. 🙂 Soon you’ll be able to have fun in the sun!
What are you studying? Do you enjoy your subjects?
i live in Hawaii on Oahu and have been for two years. i could have sworn you and your blog were here all along! you look so familiar! i love your blog! but i hope your vacation has been absolutely fantastic and i wish you safe travels home!
Hi Sharon,
I wish I could blog from Hawaii! Whereabouts do you live?
So jealous, it looks like you are having a blast.
Nice sunglasses: where did you got them?
Hi Marta,
Those are a few years old. They’re Fossil and I got ’em in 2005. 🙂
Ohhh how amazing, that looks perfect Karen!
Karen, I am so jealous. I’d love to go to the beach right this very moment.
Hi Meream,
Do you live near the ocean?
You sure had tons of fun, Karen! Suddenly I feel like snorkeling in Redang island~
I stayed home this weekend. Having quality time with my family and bf. Hey at least I was doing something, no? =P

Hi Hanna,
Quality time with the honey and the fam is always a good thing. 🙂
I’ve never heard of Redang Island. Now I’m gonna have to look it up!
You look really thin in these pictures Karen!!!
This weekend has been a blast so far! Last night I hung out with my neighbors, gossiping and having tequila shots! Today we’re having a BBQ at the in-laws’ house and then going to a party for another neighbor. Tomorrow I am going to veg out and watch tv and my Netflix movies I’ve had for two months, except at 3 o’clock I’m taking a moment of silence to honor our fallen soldiers for Memorial Day!
Hi Stef,
It sounds like you are having a lot of fun with your friends and family… a perfect way to spend the weekend. 🙂 What movies are you watching today?
Hi Karen,
Which hotel would you recommend in Hawaii?
Hi Ritadebora,
It depends on what your budget is. Are you looking for something more higher end?
oooh, love the video! Makes me want to be back in hawaii so bad! 🙂
Briana´s last blog post..Catch Up: Hot Tub Hands, Sunset, Bottle Caps and Cats
Hi Briana,
I’m gonna have to replay it over and over when we leave. Sigh… today is our last day here!
Anyway, how’s your weekend going?
Hi Karen,
Not a high end one. I’ve seen on internet Sheraton Royal Hawailan and Sheraton Waikiki Hotel. How about these? And is staying on Wakiki beach a must? Since you know Hawaii, I thought you could help me out as I’m planning to go there next year… if everything turns out ok 🙂
Hi Karen!
At the moment Government law, followed by marine law, and labour law. Previous years were a lot more fun, I’m not really into these subjects, but I must complete them anyway! And you are right, July will come soon enough…
Have fun there for all of us stuck here!!!;)
Girl you have nice arms! What have you been doing! Enjoy the sand and surf!
I’ve shared your blog with my hommie from Japan! Thanks for all of the lovely blogs!
BTW I saw some lovely kitties at the Animal hospital today and thought of Tabs!
Hi Karen,
Oh, Redang island is one the many beautiful islands my lovely country got to offer. Go google Redang island,Malaysia! But Hawaii is just soooo breathtaking!
U’re leaving? have a safe journey home. =)

thanks for that little movie! I felt like I was there for a short minute =D
Hi Karen! What kind of camera do you use? It’s awesome!
