Summertime, Oh Summertime!

First of, Happy Presidents Day!  I would like to thank our founding fathers and everyone that has followed them for this joyous day off (although for me it really isn't a day off).  In the midst of doing proofs and returning emails to clients, I am starting to browse the internet for our clothing for our trip to the Dominican Republic this May.  For those of you that don't know, my best friend is getting married there and I have the honor of being her maid of honor.

Here are the top 3 items from today that I have added to my "wish list" for the trip:

Young Fabulous & Broke - Sydney Tie Dye Dress $160.00

Sanuk Yoga Mat Sandals $30 (These are seriously the most comfortable sandals I have ever worn!)

Ruffle Swimsuit Cover Up $24.99

What do you think?  Do you have any recommendations for this trip of mine?

Home away from home....

Hubby and I returned from oah last Sunday after a glorious warm week there.  He does a lot of work on the island with the military so I always go and lay in the sun while he does his meetings.  It has also become our home away from home, we were last there in October.  So, i thought I would share what "our home" there is.

We always stay at the Outrigger Reef on the Beach, it is a great hotel that has three restaurants, a Starbucks and a myriad of shops.  It is also right on the beach and in the heart of Waikiki.

Their pool is great!  It is a salt water pool so you don't have to worry about the nasty chlorine effect, and the happy hour at the pool is from 3 to 5 :)

What our room usually looks like.  It is so nice to sit on the balcony and watch the ocean and listen to the waves.

The also always have this amazing cucumber, mint infused water at check-in and at the pool.  It is so good and so refreshing.  

I would check them out next time you are planning a vacation to Oahu.  Their hospitality is great as well!
