Hey fraaaaans. 

I have been challenged by Jane.com and Cents of Style to participate in their #BeTheGood campaign! And as Barney Stinson would confidently say, challenge accepted! What sweet opportunity to do something, big or small, for another person. Through this challenge I chose to pick up someone's dinner tab anonymously.

The other night Connor and I went out to eat dinner at one of our favorite restaurants. Towards the end of our meal, we saw an old, scruffy-looking man enter the restaurant and sit down at a table. I don't know if he was homeless or not, but I could definitely tell he didn't have the most ideal lifestyle. Right as we were about to pay our bill, I had this feeling that we should pay for his tab as well. Connor agreed that we should (another reason I love the man so dearly) so we asked our waiter to add the old man's dinner tab to our check, paid, and left the restaurant. I'll never know how the old man reacted to hearing that his dinner was paid for, but I'll always remember that feeling Connor and I left with. The feeling that we did something good. Sure, Connor and I have our own financial struggles and stresses, but we have to remember that there is always someone out there that has it worse than us.

 I challenge all of you to take a part in this movement and spread goodness throughout! I also personally challenge Jessica, Lauren, Rachel, Gentri, & Bri! Good luck my friends--you have 24 hrs to complete a service or act of kindness (kind of like the Ice Bucket Challenge, minus the ice water). See below for details: 

1. Choose a good deed. Could be as simple as paying for the coffee or meal after yours.

2. Share your goods. Pick your favorite social channel (Facebook, Instagram, Vine, Twitter, etc.), but first, make sure to take a selfie (or something appropriate to your story), and share your story, big or small. Be sure to use these hashtags to help this campaign spread: #BeTheGood #JaneCares and #CentsofStyle. You’ll see your story featured on Jane.com!

3. Tag 1-5 of your friends to do the same within a 24 hr period.

4. Look stylish while doing it! Jane.com and Cents of Style are selling some super cute #BeTheGood t-shirts on Jane.com. All profits made will be donated to Girls Inc. an organization that inspires girls to be strong, smart and bold.

"Be the change that you wish to see in the world."

-Mahatma Gandhi

Even an awkward hug counts.

 Good Luck!

Cheers.

Samson doesn't like it when I blog.

The mornings are pretty routine for Samson and I.

We wake up, cuddle in bed for a little bit, then relocate to the living room.

I try to get my blogging out of the way in the morning so I have the rest of the day to run errands/clean the house/watch my TV shows and the nights to hang out with Connor. However, I've noticed that whenever I pull out my laptop and start blogging away, Samson creeps over to me and sprawls out on my lap.

and it's only when I'm blogging.

I could be on Facebook or online shopping and he'll be off chewing his toys or something.

But the moment I open up my blog, it's like his blogger senses start tingling.

He'll come over, plop himself down on my lap so I have to awkwardly use the keyboard around him, or just straight up lie down on my keyboard and stare at me.

So sorry guys, my blog is not Samson approved.

Darn.

"No more blogging, mom. I won't allow it."
As you can tell by what's on my computer screen, this literally happened right as I was putting together this post.

Have a Happy Saturday!

pps. If you have any good vibes to spare, please send them to my home state of Hawaii! Although Iselle didn't hurt them as bad as it was supposed to, a lot of properties and homes were still damaged.

Cheers.

#cheeeezy :)

Today Connor and I (and Samson) are wearing some sweet new shades from Ltd. Optics! I've featured Ltd. Optics on my blog before (view those posts HERE and HERE) so I was stoked when I found out that they were coming out with some new lines! I'm wearing The Boardwalk in black and I love how it fits my face--it has a bit of a feminine shape to it and is meant for people with smaller faces. What's cool about these sunglasses is that they are made of 7-layer skateboard wood with internal spring hinges and they are finished by hand so every pair has it's own unique touch to it! Connor is wearing The Chameleon in Red and if I do say so myself, he's looking pretty handsome in them :). I love how they combined the look of rubber with wood to create something totally stylish and cool! The frames were a little too big for my face, but it looks great on men! Even Samson is looking pretty smooth in them as you can see in the picture above.

We weren't originally going to have Samson in these pictures but Connor isn't a big fan of posing for photos (this is only the second His and Hers post we've ever done, haha) so I figure if he had someone to pose with, he'd be happier :D I'm obsessed with the little guy so any excuse to have him on my blog I'll take!

Be sure to check out Ltd. Optic's new sunglasses lines!
They're perfect for looking stylish on all the summer adventures that await you!

This past Saturday I finally got to meet and hang out with Marsa from The DayLee Journal! She's one of the first bloggers I started following when I entered the blogosphere over a year ago and we bonded over how we were both asians from Hawaii who were born in Japan! It was a bummer though because she moved to Seattle just as we became good friends so we never got to meet IRL. She finally came back to Utah to visit family so we made sure to sneak in a GNO with Rachel and Lo! You know those people who you instantly click with as soon as you hang out? That's Marsa! :) Miss you already!

I also rode a rocking horse made for big kids this weekend.
Yep.

Here's to another week!

Cheers.

. . . JEANS!

Connor is my actual forever boyfriend, sillies.

Anyway, believe it or not, these are my first pair of boyfriend jeans I have ever owned! For some reason I just thought boyfriend jeans didn't look very flattering on me so I stayed away all these years. When I saw these pair on Abaday, I decided to get over my insecurities and go for it. Good thing I did because I ended up loving them! I love how comfortable they are and even though they have that "baggy" look, they still look chic. They also go perfectly with this adorable elephant top I also got from Abaday. I've been drawn to tribal print lately so that's why I was drawn to this top, as well as this clutch from Red Buffalo Trading!

Can I just share how PSYCHED I am that PRETTY LITTLE LIARS returns tonight???

I've been counting down the days till the summer premiere the moment last season ended and I'm so stoked that it's finally back! Does anyone know if season 5 is their final season, because I really wouldn't mind if this series finally ENDED. I have such a love-hate relationship with PLL because I'm obsessed with watching the show, yet I hate the fact that they never give you just answers--they always leave you with more questions. For once I'd like to watch an episode (aka the series finale) with ONLY ANSWERS. I just need to know who killed who, who is still alive, who is dead, and who the freak is in Ali's grave (or tomb or whatever it is now) since we all know that *spoiler alert* Ali is officially alive. Don't get me wrong, I loooove PLL, I just am frustrated with it at the same time.

Hope you guys will be tuning in tonight as well!
I'll be celebrating the premiere with my girls by making sushi and getting henna tattoos, woohoo!

Cheers.
