Sometimes I feel like this ;)
Mmmm chocolate is an indulgence. It causes a happy chemical reaction in my brain and I smile and thank heaven that it exists! Life wouldn't be as fun if I didn't have it every once in a while.

Sleepy giggles ;)
My son had to draw blood on Thursday for a bunch of tests his doctor wanted. He was so freaked out.
"Will it hurt? How much blood are they going to take? Is it going to take a long time? I don't think I can go to school." He bombarded me with continuous questions and anxious statements.
All I could do was calmly reassure him it would be ok, he would survive this ;) lol
The look on his face was much like in this funny photo.
In the end, it was fine. He lived! Whew! He said it wasn't that bad but complained that his arm hurt too much from the teeny tiny needle poke and said he couldn't go to school.
He did get to stay home, as he had a doctor's note, but I did have to roll my eyes a few times...I couldn't help it, it was kind of funny. I can't wait til he's older and I can tease him about it later...oh remember when they drew blood that one time??? Ha ha ha.
My boys, I love them, they make my life fun.
Living the dream life ;)

Love your hair!
I am tough on my hair... between workouts, hula, and over-drying it with my flat iron or hair dryer, my hair has taken a lot of abuse.
A three day weekend afforded me some quality time to take care of my tresses and they are looking fabulous again.
Easy hair mask ingredients are hiding in your pantry. Easily mix up a simple concoction of proteins. Our hair loves proteins just like our muscles. It makes your hair shiny and bouncy again.
Eggs are perfect! If I cook up an egg white omelette, I usually will cook up the yolks for my dog-it makes her coat shiny :) Today, I saved them for an overdue hair treatment.
Three yolks and about 1/4 cup olive oil blended with 3 tablespoons of Hawaiian salt. I like the salt for the exfoliating scrub on my scalp, but it also makes your hair soft, just like swimming in the ocean all day. (Amounts are not exact, just mix up what you need, I have very long hair and needed at least a cup of hair mask to coat every strand.)
Leave on your hair for thirty minutes and then rinse. Wash your hair again with your favorite shampoo and conditioner (you don't want your hair smelling like eggs and oil) and towel dry. While its still damp, I add a little of my favorite tri-protein conditioner and leave it in.
Brush and style your gorgeous locks and repeat at least once a month for awesome hair days ;)
Blessings for an amazing weekend!

Happy Valentine's Day and Night ;)
It's been a beautiful Valentine's Day with my boys. Relaxing and celebrating this day to recognize love.
I'm so proud of them and they make my life so happy! I cherish every moment I get to have these lazy hang out days.
It's been a busy week and today was about being with them. As it is Valentine's Day...I didn't go crazy with lots of treats, but I did buy them Ice cream. We all had a proper portion serving 1/2 cup which was a 150 calories for mint chocolate chip ice cream (our family favorite).
I would be thrilled if I am able to instill these lessons of good eating habits to last their lifetime. They can still have yummy treats but it just has to be an appropriate portion.
Hope you have a tasty Valentine's Day treat ;) wishing you lots of yummy bites.

Healthy After School Treats! Yum!
It's been a long grueling day at school...or so I've been told, and my boys always walk in the door almost starving, so they whine. Healthy snacks is sometimes a challenge as they are both very picky!
They both like vanilla yogurt. Today I just happened to pick up bananas and fresh strawberries on my home. They won't necessarily make anything for themselves, they usually want it done for them, so I was sneaky.
I got out a beautiful bowl, scooped in 1/2 cup vanilla yogurt and beautifully sliced 3 fresh strawberries on top. They watched, almost drooling, and decided that didn't look as healthy as I had made it sound. A minute later they got out bowls and duplicated my efforts.
The watch and learn method of teaching those healthy eating habits. It's hard to tell them what to do at their age, now I'm more of a supervisor/manager in their lives. As long as I do my best to lead by example they do follow, and I'm so proud of them!
Many blessings always,
Maile

New Year! New Energy! New You!
What the mind conceives, the body can achieve with commitment and dedication!
I absolutely believe this. It's my mantra and my constant preaching to my family that you will become what you say and think!
Nothing is impossible, but it can be challenging. Focus your energy and thoughts in the positive outcome of your dreams and wishes and you will achieve them.
Ideas will come to you, help and resources will come to you. Just allow yourself to be successful and it will happen. Truly your only obstacle is you.
Make a commitment to yourself that you will take care of the beautiful body you have. This is my personal commitment to myself. Please feel free to add to it or change it as it will fit your own goals and dreams.
I, ___________________ promise to:
Feed my body right and give it lots of exercise to be healthy and strong.
Commit myself to eating healthy foods that will fuel my body and achieve my optimal health.
I will keep myself accountable of what I am eating, by journaling and writing down what I feed my body.
I promise that I will rid my mind of negative thinking, and doubts. I will reprogram my thoughts to positive and affirmative thoughts of success in all areas of my life.
I forgive myself for the past and look forward to this new opportunity of a fresh start and a great new healthy life.
I deserve to be the best ME I can be!
I always think of others, and care for them, and I will ensure that I can be there when I am my healthiest.
I promise to love my body and my life.
-The next step after you make this commitment to yourself, is to clean out all the naughty junk food in your house. You can give it away or plan a party to share it. Take as much time as you need to clear away things that won't help you achieve success.
When you go shopping next, fill your pantry with healthy whole foods, organic vegetables, and fruits, lean proteins. You are worthy of good quality food and nutrients. Buy the best that you can afford. You are investing in yourself. You are so loved, and your life is worth so much. Cherish your health and make it a priority for all those that you love.
This is a great new year! I feel successful already. Mahalo for all your support and love, I am a stronger and better person because of all the amazing friends I have.
And although I don't see any of you often enough, I know you will always be a part of my life and I wish you all so much success and love in your own lives.
Me ke aloha pumehana,
Maile
