Sunday Confessions 3.2

Hey!
I know that it has been a while since I’ve done these let alone been here with a post, but I do have a few coming for you and I think that they are pretty worthwhile reads. Also, if you don’t find a book I’ve read on here feel free to check my Goodreads for a mini read. I also have a few fun posts, but if they don’t end up on her feel free to check out my youtube channel because I started vlogging again and the vlogs will probably end up there.

Sunday Currently 3.0

 

I’ve always loved link-ups and finding new blogs to read. I may not be the best at commenting all the time, but I do love stalking peoples blogs. I’ve finally found sometime to catch up on some blogs in the past year, so please don’t mind that I’m commenting on a bunch of random posts. I’ve decided to start my own link-up, so feel free to join in. I’ve always loved blogging on Sunday more than any other day mostly because I’m a disorganized mess and can’t schedule posts that much in advance and also because it gives me a space and time to clear my head before the rest of the week makes it crazy with other things. Here are a few thoughts from this week:

    1. I recently found about Rachel Dawson’s blog from a random posts on instagram and to say that  I’m obsessed is probably the understatement of the year. Sorry if that is weird! Her blog and talking about life are kind of inspiring and I even for this month created my own 31 things to do in August. (Look forward to a post on that later) I highly recommend you check her out
    2. I’m finally getting myself together and putting time and effort into this blog. That means cleaning up my internet presence revamping old posts  and removing outdated links. It’s a lot of work, but I’m hoping that it will all be worth it especially after the latest Genesis update comes out.
    3. I’m super excited for fall! I’ve already marked off days and things to do in my planner. In addition to that I’m already started planning for 30 Days of Lists which I feel is the biggest kick off to Fall in my opinion. Feel free to check out the challenge it has gotten really big in the last few years. I’m not even sure where I will be showcasing my lists this time around.
    4. I’ve finally getting back to journalling just for me. I’m not using any rules or keeping it in any order, just putting my thoughts down on paper and loving it.

Well that’s all I’ve got for today, What are you up to today? What’s new in your life? I’ll see you soon.

Museum of Aloha

Hey!
Welcome to another real life post. This is kind of great that this is happening again though I will admit that I was supposed to post this last week instead of the mid year chat, but things happen.

I heard about the Museum of Aloha from a friend and had no idea that it had already been up a month and that it was about to be taken down. I believe that it’s supposed to be model a bit after the Museum of Ice Cream in Los Angeles. Has anyone been to that? How is it? All the instagram pictures look amazing and make me want to go.

Matt and I paid for our tickets , it was $10 a piece for an hour or so. There are two rooms that are timed, but you could wander through the gated area for longer just taking pictures.

The tickets looked cute, too bad we didn’t get to keep them. 🙁
The first room you were able to go into was the lei room. There were thousands of fake flower leis hung up. I can’t remember how many the guy said were hung.

 

It was supposed to be a maze, but you could hear where the next room was so it wasn’t challenging. Matt finally got to do his Hobby Lobby challenge picture properly, so that was a bonus for him. It was kind of cool to see the color coordination of some of the leis and how they tried to do a gradient or rainbow in some areas.
The next room was the confetti volcano room. There was a ton of confetti on the floor and you were able to stuff the volcano or the cannon and take pictures as it went off. It went off 3 or 4 times. It was pretty cool!
  
I tried hard to look cute in all these photos, but honestly I look like a weirdo here.
 
And a weird cat here. I’m seriously not annoyed at the confetti.
They usher you out of the room after that and give you stickers to put on an oversized statute of a bear and that was incredibly anti climatic.
Around the outside there were several sets of angel wings, so of course more pictures
There’s also a cute picture on my instagram profile of me with angel wings. Matt says I’m the worst photographer of trying to get him with angel wings, but perhaps it just means that it’s time for me to get a new phone.
In a booth before you exit there was a place giving nitrogen filled ice cream balls, so it looked like you were smoking. The frozen ice cream reminded me of food they give to astronauts in space. They also sell that stuff at the Air & Space museum in Washington D.C. if you want to try some. I heard there’s another place that does nitrogen infused food, so perhaps we’ll have to go and try that sometime.

The last thing was a mirror photo booth with crepe paper, which you could also take pictures in. The reflective crepe paper made it really hard to take pictures.

I’m really glad that I found out about this and that Matt and I were able to go. I can’t wait to show you more fun things that we get up to in Hawaii. Let me know if there’s anything specific that you would like us to check out. I’ll see you soon with another post.

Welcome to 2018

Hello!
I’m finally getting back to writing a real post on here. As I sit at my desk contemplating all the things that have happened this year, I know that I’m ready to enter 2018! Things in the last few weeks have been crazy, but with the promise of new beginnings and more things to come. I thought that I would share some of my goals and hopes for the year.

  1. I want to finish 52 books in 2018. I set my reading goal on GoodReads at 25, but I’m hoping to read more. I plan to participate in at least 2 readathons and hopefully that will encourage me to read more, even if I don’t make this goal it will still be good to try and achieve it.
  2. I want to travel at least 3 times this year. Matt and I have 3 potential trips planned and hopefully we’ll be able to do all of them.
  3. I want to finish 10 eyeshadows in 2018. A few of these shadows will be included in my Pan that Palette challenge which I hope to announce more in a video soon. I have failed the challenge the past couple of years, but I have hope that I will do well this year.
  4. I want to have more adventures and do more, so I can share my experiences with you. Even though in 2017 I had plenty of adventures I feel that I didn’t share them enough with my friends and online community.

In many ways 2017 was a year of growth and change. There were many stressful and unnerving moments, but more blissful moments and moments that I am proud to say that I traversed through. I spent a chunk of 2016 and 2017 in self doubt and worried that this is all my life is. Now that I traveled through that period and am back with a vengeance on creativity and bringing you things that I hope that you will enjoy. I hope that you will continue to follow me in 2018.

How was your year? What are some goals that you want to accomplish this year?
