[DESIGN] FREE MODERN 2018 CALENDAR WALL ART PRINT

2017 has been one heck of a year. From coming back from a trip to PI in the beginning of the year, to moving twice over the summer and trying to settle in to our new home in sunny Orange County, to wondering what my purpose in life is, to getting sick over this passed Christmas, things have been a a little crazy. 

[LIFE] 2018, I'M READY FOR YA!

This year hasn’t been the best for me. Sorry for my lack of posting, my family and I moved about four times within the last three years and we've been busy trying to settle in. We now reside in downtown Anaheim, near the Packing District, The Promenade, and the happiest place on earth, Disneyland.

[ART/EVENT] PUMA KIDS LAB EVENT IN LOS ANGELES RECAP

Big Bad Wolf Kids, a street-inspired clothing for unordinary kids ages 2-10. Big Bad Wolf Kids is the only children clothing company who brings together renowned artists and brands from all over the world. Because of my love for art and collaborations and created in Hawaii, Big Bad Wolf Kids is pretty much the only gear my boys sport and I'm not worried when my boys get older because the unique brand branched out into adult sizes!
 

[ART] POW! WOW! LONG BEACH 2017 RECAP

123 Klan Slick | #powwowlongbeach

Robert and I always had the love for art.  Growing up in the 80s, living in an era when music, dance, and art united into a unique 'culture' that had a major impact in our lives.  When we found out about POW! WOW! Hawaii a few years back, we were super stoked and followed this 'one-of-a-kind' festival since.

[MUSIC] CHESTER BENNINGTON, A LEGEND

When my husband and I first started dating in 2001, before I could legally drink...we both were a big fan of Linkin Park.  We followed LP everywhere we could, even had a major car accident on our way to one of their concerts.  

[CURRENT OBSESSION+DESIGN] LEAVES AND THINGS

Who would really think I'd be into plants? I can't take care of plants, they will just die on me eventually no matter what I do. So I've been into air plants, no soil needed and no mess!

[FASHION, DESIGN] GIRLBOSSES HELPING GIRLBOSSES

I'm now a big fan of the fastest growing company, Lularoe.  Lularoe is known for their soft buttery leggings with different kinds of unique designs. Don't get me wrong, I'm still your plane jane type of gal that likes wearing all black or nude everyday but when it comes to a design I adore, I pretty much have to grab it because Lularoe only makes a certain amount per pattern across the nation...so it's pretty rare and makes shopping addicting.

[FITNESS] ROXY #RUNSUPYOGA RECAP

Ever since the last Nike Women's Half Marathon in San Francisco held on October 2015, I've been in a verge looking for another women's marathon and thanks to my FB sponser feed...I came across Roxy's #runsupyoga events.

[FASHION, DESIGN] Collaboration with Aloha For Jesus

Where have I been?  I have no idea but the last time I posted was back in January. Sorry for the lack of post.  I think being on the go, working at a full-time gig, designing and spending time with my boys with 4 hours of sleep, I'm often wondering...where is God directing me through all this whirlwind?  I can only thank the man above for giving me the strength to do it all.  Being constantly busy is never ending but when having an opportunity to collaborate on an upcoming Christian clothing brand made in Hawaii, Aloha for Jesus, I couldn't resist to help out designing for them.

[FASHION] INTRODUCING - YOUNG WORLD - KIDS STREET WEAR

I'm excited to announce the launch of my kids clothing line. I guess that's why I've been on a DL, been busy creating, painting, hand-lettering, crafting, designing, etc.

[TRAVEL] PHILIPPINES 2016-2017 RECAP

The last time I visited my motherland was back in 2008 and my husband, Robert's last time was when he was a freshman in high school. The trip was way overdue for a visit and we were blessed to be able to visit again for my brother's beautiful "fairytale" themed wedding.

[DESIGN] HAND LETTERED SCRIPT FOR THE LITTLE ONE

I can't remember when I loved hand lettering and scripting, maybe when I first discovered it back in elementary. I do remember always getting the penmanship award. I wanted to make my penmanship useful so I decided to create simple hand lettering first names.

[DESIGN] MODERN KIDS COLLECTION PRINTABLES

Hey guys and gals, I'm so happy to announce that I've updated my Etsy shop with a new "Modern Kids Collection". I wanted to match the collection with my "Modern Wedding Collection".

[DESIGN] FREE MODERN 2017 CALENDAR WALL ART PRINT

I'm kind of all tired of the store bought calendars that aren't really pretty. I wanted to design a calendar that's simple and straight forward. Here's a free modern 2017 calendar for you folks that want to dress up your 'naked' walls.

[DESIGN] THE MODERN WEDDING COLLECTION

The Wedding Collection by THE PINEAPPLEIST

The new year is just right around the corner so I decided to spend my time creating new items for my Etsy shop. I've designed and created the "Modern Wedding Collection" printables for the modern, simple bride and wedding planners that are on the go and have little time to prepare their upcoming special day.

[FASHION] CURRENT MOOD: NETFLIX + CHILL

Reminiscing about how I partied like crazy back in the good ol' days. Boy, I had so much energy back then. Now, all I want to do is just drink coffee, create, watch my boys and my puppy get all crazy, and chill. I'm just living the life right now, no make-up, hair all messed up, unemployed, making ends meet by internet stuff just so I can afford coffee. Obviously my current mood is Netflix + Chill.

[FASHION] TOP 5 WINTER ESSENTIALS

Okay, so I miss Hawaii weather. But since I'm now back living in Los Angeles, I must get used to the 2-3 month cold weather again. Here are my top favorite pins with essentials to cop these must haves right now...

[FAMILY] WHAT TO DO WITH YOUR KID'S RANDOM IPHONE PHOTOS?

Photo by Irene Herbst

My youngest son, Isiah, just loves to explore on my iPhone and takes random shots of just about anything. I'm sure your kids love to explore just like Isiah. But what to do with all these random, unwanted or wanted photos on your iPhone? I certainly don't really like the thought of throwing or deleting anything my children makes. So what to do with all these photos?

[CURRENT OBSESSION] LIVING ROOM

I've been dying to redo both our living room and family room but things definitely take time when you're waiting for everything to go on sale.
