I’m having the best time ever catching up with my friends Julia and Amber while they are visiting Kauai this week.

We’ve been eating a lot of fish, relaxing and talking about our favorite new beauty products. (Well, mostly it’s Amber and Julia telling me about their favorite new beauty products as I’ve been living on a secluded island for the past several months!)

I’ll submit a more detailed update soon. In the meantime, check out this adorable Hawaiian Monk Seal (an endangered species) that we saw on the beach this week:

Hope you are having a great week!

I can’t even tell you how excited I am for tomorrow to come!

For the next week, I will be visiting with two of my most favorite beauty bloggers (and FRIENDS!), Julia (pictured third from left) and Amber (pictured far right) here on beautiful Kauai.

If that’s not enough excitement for you, to punctuate the trip we will be graced with the presence of a third favorite beauty blogger (and friend!): Kristen!

I’m sure I’ll have tons of updates and photos as these beauty girls storm Hawaii’s Garden Island so stay tuned!

Few things illuminate a sun-kissed complexion better than candlelight inspired shades. I’m loving this sweet little set at the moment! It includes: a Hungry Heart Blush Duo, a mini Orgasm Multiple and a mini Adelita Nail Polish.

NARS Midsummer Dream Kit is available from Sephora for $47.

Nude pumps have been all the rage for a few seasons now, and I’ve been on the lookout for the perfect pair for just as long.

After trying on every option under the sun, I found this fab pair of sandalwood pumps that blends beautifully with my skin tone. Plus, they boast Nike Air technology and a killer heel – win-win!

Cole Haan Mariela OT Sling are available from Cole Haan for $328.
