COME SAY HI! This Saturday, May 8th for the Mother’s Day @alohahomemarket, I will be at @analuciag.art’s booth with our collaboration of Honu and Resin #Impawstos! I’ll also be there in the morning with a kama’aina special. . . Ana Lucia has been my studio assistant and I cannot be more grateful. Her compassion and dedication to quality shines through everything she touches. Her creations are accurately reflective of her own personality; bright, beautiful, and joyous! I’m honored to have her in my life and I cannot wait to celebrate her business launch :) Starting off with this photoshoot by @snapwhatyoulove. Thanks for capturing our friendship and lugging all our precious cargo just so I could have photographs at one of my favorite spots on the island 🤣 . . Love the girl power magic we had during this shoot, and the Mama Mango Lizzo dance party too. 😜 EXTRA thanks to @heartyhaku for ALWAYS making the best haku leis! 
May the 4th be with you! . . I’ll have star wars on while I work today 😜 
Oh Pugh, it’s Monday! I’m already having #dirtychaisketchtime withdrawals but I am glad to be taking a break too because my stress level is so high with planning this move!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I’ll be less active as I get through all my commissions. BIG MAPAWLO for your support through all these changes. My life just changes at every gust of wind 🤣 I know it’s hard to keep up, I also have a hard time keeping up.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Fears:⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ -I’m going to come back finally settled and nopawdy will be here LOL⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ -I’m not capable of keeping up with everything⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ -I will forget a dog through all the shuffle⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ -daycare will not be available for months and I won’t be able to do half the things I have planned⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ -I’ll fail.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #blessthisstress these are good fears to have.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Counters:⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ -I’ve built this business from nothing in four years, I can do it again. Smarter, faster, better if necessary.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ -I’m not doing this alone, I have a calendar and check list, I slowed down and set boundaries to protect my health and time⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ -My partner will be traveling with me. We will leave with two adults, one kid, and two dogs. We will arrive with two adults, one kid, and two dogs.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ - I survived deployment and kept working. I can survive a second shorter version again.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ -I fail all the time. :) and I wouldn’t be where I am without the failures I’ve endured. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Deep breath. One day at a time. And it’s just Monday. 
Happy Lei Day! May we count our blessings, give more than we receive, and leave where we stand cleaner and brighter than when we arrived.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The abundance of this island has taught me to appreciate the smaller things. The bike rides to the mango trees, the singing of magpies, the ocean breeze... it’s definitely been paradise! Flip side, taking too many mangos can, in fact, develop a severe reaction as an adult 😫. Magpies will be agro. Ocean salt will rust everything faster 😂 So be mindful. Take cautiously but give freely. Give with no expectations :)⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ And, my goodness, stay away from the centipedes 😰.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Have a wonderful Aloha filled weekend!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Artwork is from one of my first digital releases! You can vote for #tbt designs in my stories 5/10. 👀 
Throw back Thursday designs are being voted for in my stories!! Most voted will be brought back from the vault :) . . I’ve been listening to your feedback and I’ve been hearing that you would like less options and more in stock!!! This is so that you have a better chance of getting the artwork before they sell out. . . So, only one will be brought back from the vault at a time. My email pack will get first dibs in the morning and if there are any available after they get their paws on them, the rest will be available for public sales that afternoon. . . Comment below if there’s a design you want to see again next week ♥️ Say goodbye to fomo and take it out on your wallet 😉😉😉
