Being in quarantine brought out a bit of my creative side. It also increased my love for plants. So put those two things together…I decided I wanted to try to build a raised garden bed (and try and grow things that I can eat)! So far, only two of the twenty or so vegetables/fruits have died…BUT! I can assure you, the garden bed itself looks awesome! I’ll just share the materials I purchased and steps I went through to build this raised garden bed because there were definitely some lessons learned. I bought all of the materials from Lowes because it’s the only home improvement store in my...…Being in quarantine brought out a bit of my creative side. It also increased my love for plants.

Back in January 2019, I invited myself on a trip with my friend Chandler to visit his cousin and her boyfriend who were living in Hilo for a few months. The only other islands I’d been to at this point were Oahu and Molokai, so I was very excited to check out another island! This blog post is pretty long (sorry!), but we fit SO many (16ish) activities into only 3.5 days! TIP: You will definitely need a Jeep or a vehicle with 4WD that can handle off-roading, especially to get to the Green Sand Beach, Waipio Valley, and Makalawena Beach. Southern Most Point of the USA (Do the Jump!) – 4WD...…Back in January 2019, I invited myself on a trip with my friend Chandler to visit his cousin and her boyfriend who were living in Hilo for a few months.

Note: Park on Kaukama Road. Be sure not to leave any valuables in the car or in plain sight! Bring plenty of water and sunscreen! Such a simple fact. How incredible is it that you could enjoy both in one day (if you are adventurous enough – and have enough gas in your car)? It’s funny though because I honestly kept getting the Lanikai Pillbox Hike confused with this one. I’d say I want to go to Lanikai for sunset and be laughed at by all my friends. Now that I’ve been to both, I surely won’t mistake them anymore. Abby, Emily and I were enjoying ourselves on the South-West side checking out...…Note: Park on Kaukama Road.
