A Week of Random
Oh man, the last week has been chaos guys!! My brother moved to the other side of the island into a new gorgeous place so I have been watching my eldest niece Kaliko a lot because she still goes to school on this side of the island because it didn’t make much sense for her to have to transfer so late in the year. So it’s been a lot of waking up early and transporting the littles...

Beauty Tips: Getting Rid Of Puffy Eyes & Dark...
Image not my own
Sometimes I wake up in the morning and I have puffy, dark under eye circles. It’s not a good look for me. In fact, I reckon it’s not a good look for anyone.
There are a number of reasons why you could be suffering from this nasty case of puffy eyes, such as staying up too late the night before, tossing back one too many cocktails or suffering from allergies. Whatever...

On Broken Computers...
This isn’t actually my computer but man, I felt like making mine look like this because I was so darn frustrated this week!! I bet more than a few of you know the feeling when you’re working on a computer, in the middle of something amazing and it crashes…. I got it to turn back on but every word I typed was on a half minute delay where I’d type and it would stall and...

May Birthday BIG Cash Giveaway! Sign Up!
Two years ago in May I started blogging on What Jean Likes. I had the blog name for years (since 2008, I think), back when I had an idea but was so busy running my other site that I never did anything with it. After I quit my job as a beauty blog writer/editor/photographer, I decided to take a break but missed blogging so much… I decided to write about a large array of things I like so...

Burnt out....
Gonna keep it short and sweet today, I mean..it is Wordless Wednesday after all!! Today is a long day, a hot day, a sweaty day here in Hawai’i nei. I had to work in the hot sun today all day long. I got burnt on my arms and the back of my neck, _ouch_. Wasn’t sufficiently prepared for how broiling hot the sun is with the southern Kona winds making everything especially muggy and...

Healthy Is The New Skinny: Love Campaign
So I came across this Bust Magazine article while browsing Facebook tonight. Basically, _Healthy Is The New Skinny_ is launching the Love Campaign and I have a few things to say about it… Okay, okay, I get the concept and I think it’s a great idea done with the best of intentions… Seeing the _too skinny _Victoria’s Secret models juxtaposed to the models with more...

Mere Feet...
Not everything you see is what you imagine or assume it to be. Sometimes the greatest beauty can be found in the least likely of places. In a world that places so much emphasis on the aesthetics of beauty, how does one see beyond the facade of it all? True, there is beauty everywhere and usually it’s the obvious beauty that catches the eye and inspires the soul… after all, who...

Reset-ish..
So I started out the year strong, did over a month on a juice fast to reset my body… lost nearly 40 lbs… and then I went to regular food again and lost my focus. Though I didn’t gain any of my weight back, I don’t feel quite as energetic or balanced as I did when I was juicing every day. In fact, I got quite lazy the last month or so only juicing a couple times a week....

Photo Inspiration: CamRanger
I just purchased the CamRanger last week. In fact, it came in the mail yesterday and although i have yet to use it, I’m really looking forward to seeing how it changes the way I shoot.

I read this awesome update and review SLR Lounge and just wanted to share it...

Beyond The Forest
I decided to take Alaka’i on a drive around the island on Saturday. It’s good to get out and about and to see the beauty of the island in all it’s forms. We left with hopes high, cameras ready and bags of lunch and swimming stuff packed for the ride. Though we hadn’t planned to go swimming, my Alaka’i being the water baby he is, thought it would be a great idea...

Health Inspiration: Dr. Alejandro Junger On Diet...
Here are a few dietary fact or fictions I’d love to get your verdict on:
Is there a difference between drinking ice-cold or room-temperature water? I’ve heard the former can help you burn calories, but the latter is better for digestion.
“Room-temperature water does enable optimal digestion, although drinking chilled water has been found to burn calories, although very minimally. Your...

J.O.Y. Reviews: Island Brew Coffeehouse
I love coffee, anyone who follows me on Instagram knows my love for coffee and espresso runs deep, deep I tell ya!! I honestly must say, without coffee in the morning, I would be a literal walking zombie unable to complete my work and function normally. It’s natural considering I don’t get nearly enough sleep which is something I’m working on, but I digress. This is about...

Toddler Selfies
My niece Alohilani got her hands on my phone the other day while she was at the house. She’s a rather smart nearly 3 year old. She figured out how to get my camera app open and took a ton of photos of herself eating organic dark chocolate almonds that I gave her while I was working on business figures for a couple minutes as she watched Shirley Temple on my other computer in my office....

Needless..
It is with a heavy heart that I write this post tonight. Why, why do such needlessly tragic acts of violence happen? Why? Today I picked my son up from school and explained to him that there was an attack in Boston at the marathon where two explosive devices went off and at least 2 people died and dozens were injured. I explained to him how a little boy, only 8 years of age was one of those...
