Galentine’s Day is just a few weeks away. (Yes, you read right, and No, it is not a typo.)

For fans of the show Parks and Rec starring Amy Phoeler as Leslie Knope, you are probably no stranger to the non-official holiday, Galentine’s Day. What is it exactly?

“It’s only the best day of the year!”

Galentine's Day

Galentine’s Day is a celebration of friendship.

A time to spend with the important people in your life that stuck around.. those who are there for you whether or not you’re in a romantic relationship.

There’s so many ways to celebrate! Brunch with waffles, lots of waffles! Dress up and look fab, RSVP at a fancy restaurant or go hiking, have a mani-pedi with your gal friends. Go to the beach, have a picnic, lie around in your jammies reading a book or watch a movie with face masks on… do ANYTHING you want. Exchange gifts, or not… but if you’re planning to, here’s some cute ideas to gift to your favorite gals…

My favorite ladies and I are yet again taking a great new venture together. After a feel-good-because-we-are-giving-back-to-our-community experience from volunteering at the Great Aloha Run this February, we decided that we didn’t mind doing it again. This time, we’re going bigger. With American Cancer Society. The American Cancer Society is a national non-profit health organization […]

Mahalo to the beautiful and inspiring Hiba, (Cloud of Lace) who took a minute to designate me my very first WordPress nomination, or any nomination in this blogesphere EVER, The Versatile Blogger Award.

Cloudoflace is about everything and anything marvelous- from art, to fashion, to recipes….”little treasures” as she calls them. Reading her blog is just refreshing. So of course, I was delighted to find out she feels the same about mines. Again, as we say here in Hawaii, Mahalo Nui Loa, Hiba!

Here are 15 wonderful bloggers/blogs that I have truly enjoyed reading, and would like to share them with you by nominating them for the Most Versatile Blogger Award.

And finally, here are 7 Things About Me that I would like to share…

1. I love love love love Starbucks, especially mocha frap and hot mocha with 3x shot on busy days. I’m a proud Starbuholic, and a chocoholic.

2. I’m very flexible. I owe it all to yoga pilates that I’m so busy to do nowadays.

3. My hair is jet black, thanks to my beautiful Filipina mother who had always told me to never color my hair.

4. I prefer Asian cuisine to just about any other type of food- Japanese, Chinese, Korean, Thai…

5. I have five siblings who I love so much – Natalie, Ersa, Neil, Sally, & Dessa.

6. I heart Korean dramas, especially romantic comedy, and the lessons behind them. I truly believe in undying love and devotion, that through any trials and tribulations, love conquers all.

7. In April 2010, I launched Fashion With a Mission, a non-profit organization focusing on providing clothes to orphaned children throughout the globe. The organization is still on its beginning stages, however, I hope to fully establish Fashion with a Mission and encourage fashionistas that “we can make a difference, one trend, one style at a time”.

Cup of Goodness- Volunteering in Guatemala

There are some people in this world that you just have to be surrounded with. The kind of people that are positive, energetic, and have a remarkable aura that make you feel good, be good and do good.

One of my darling best friends, and of course one of my favorite girls in this world, Kelsie Pascual are just one of those special people. She is absolutely amazing.

I spent Sunday afternoon listening to her great adventure as a volunteer abroad in Guatemala. She arrived at my house with some souvenirs- beautiful handcrafted butterfly decors (“They love butterflies in Guatemala!”,and….

surprise, surprise, traditionally handmade chocolate from Guatemala (“Hon, I actually learned how to make real chocolate!”)

I also learned within a few minutes that if mixed with hot water, these crunchy chocolates can turn into the most delicious hot cocoa ever made.

Hearing about Kelsie’s stories during her travel is like drinking from a never-ending cup of goodness.

How inspiring. Go Kelsie!
