Vacations are the absolute best. I spent this past week in Kauai with my mom and sister and came back feeling so refreshed and grateful for the opportunity to make such fun memories (sunburns and all). I love them.
In 2007 I was blessed to live in beautiful Maui. The experience changed my life. The Hawaiian Islands always remind me how easy it is to live simply and be happy. Give me a tasty mango and a warm, ocean sunset and I’m good. People always say vacation mode is not real life, but I courageously disagree. Whatever you get from your vacation (or staycation) this year, whether its perspective, motivation, confidence or just time to think about what really makes you happy, hold onto that feeling and bring it back with you. Let it make you a better person.
I’ll save you the sappy journal entry on my deep love for Maui, but I will say this:
Wherever your happy place is, visit it often. Even in your mind it can have a powerful influence on your mood, on the way you see yourself, on where you see your life going.
Here’s to a great Monday!
Lovely!! BTW, today I am wearing the chevron rings from Mindy Mae's Market that I won on your blog, and I love them 🙂 Have a lovely day!
Love your blog!

My husband is in Maui right now. I was supposed to go with him but he's only there for a day! Crazy. I told him to take lots of pics though. It is really gorgeous and unlike anything I've ever seen before. We went for our honeymoon and I'm wanting to go back soon.

I love this post. You are so right! I went to Oahu for my honeymoon, and I felt so at peace. It's such a simple and beautiful life. I try to remember that even now that I'm back home.
