Hawaiian Organic Spa Experience

I am really enjoying where I work. In the 6 years Ive been an Esthetician I have learned so much from every place Ive worked. Its been fun to take a little bit with me as Ive grown and become more experienced. I have loved every bit of everything my career consists of... Assisting Dr.'s in EVERYTHING from surgery to injections, doing eyelash extensions, make-up, pedis, manis, all waxing, body treatments, facials, media-spa treatments, peels, and lasers just to name a few. But, working for a resort keeps me on my toes! Everything is Quick quick quick, because we are BOoKeD! I have been fine tuning body treatments and wraps. Body treatments have usually been my last choice of treatment to perform. At Khakara I love them! I love the set up we have, the plethora of products, the dif protocols, and they are fun treatments to have to love since I do AlOt of them! One in particular, Im all over! Its called Hawaiian Organic Spa Experience. It is a Jet Lagged treatment using obviously all organic product, made here in Kona Hawaii. It starts with a cleanse with a passion fruit cleanser that smells DIVINE. Then a 20 min upper body and into the scalp massage done with straight coconut oil. Saturating the hair... and I could go on and on about what the treatment consist of but I won't make you drool anymore then you already are ;)

I bought all the products so that I can do it at home and to do the treatment on mom and sisters when I go home (possibly teach my moms students).

Organic foot scrub, Body moisturizer cream, Honey facial masque, cleanser, and then Moroccan Oil, and my coconut oil not pictured.

So of course I had to give Chandler the treatment at home. Put on a lil Pandora Spa sounds and tried to make it as spa like as possible;)
My ghetto huge esthetic table/futon/couch! lol! Okay now Im official embarrassed Im posting this.

And Chandler might kill me.. but he fell asleep after I massage one of his arms. You bet I kept waking him up so he could enjoy it and actually feel what I was doing for TWO hours!

Ha! Normally you don't wrap mens heads with a head wrap unless they have long hair but in this treatment the oils have to penetrate so you do. He looks silly with it. Shhh he has no idea I took these pictures!

We had such a wonderful pampering night! This type of pampering stuff is a regular thing in our home! Geeze he sure is spoiled!

BUT HE DESERVES EVERY BIT OF IT and more!

P.S. Check out my moms newly revised website! It looks great!

Pre-Thanksgiving Din Din

Some of Chandler's team members that he works with got together for Thanksgiving dinner last night. Allison who we just love had everyone over to her house in Waimanalo. She has six b.e.a.u.t.i.f.u.l. kids that are so sweet. We just love being with them. Here is Allison's yard set up with tables and volleyball net. Her yard is awesome!

here's a panoramic view of her huge yard and it still doesn't show the back half where they have 40 chickens running lose.

This is Alanah (Allison's)- all day she would say "Chan hold me, Chan through me up" She is 6- so funny!


Alanah again- ooh I just love her!

And again wanted to be thrown up in the air ...higher
She wanted to take our picture...
And this is Aaliyah she is 10 (Allisons) and baby Shaleigh (another friend of theirs baby)
Karen, Cassie, Allison, me, and Nicole. All these girl Chandler works with except Cassie (Chan's boss' wife) And my nasty rag-a-muffin hair from playing outside ;)
Keola and Allison (Noah), Chan and I, Clint and Cassie, Patrick and his wife. Chan works with a group of great people! We are so fortunate to have them while we live here. They truly are like family to us!
We had a wonderful Thanksgiving! Allison is an amazing cook. Food and company was wonderful!

I hope everyone continues to enjoy their week just as Chandler and I are!

I just can't get enuff of you!

I love you so much baby! I am so unbelievably happy. Words cannot express my love for you! Thank you for being there for me. Thank you for being such a strong courageous individual! Thank you for being my best friend!

D.O.T.S.

It was a beautiful drive past China man's hat!

Depend on the Spirit was the theme I came up with for girls camp, with the help of my sister in Utah! I did not take many pictures but this weekend was my wards Girls Camp! It was hectic, crazy, insane, interesting, Fun, funny, and spiritual all in one! I had a great time but sure glad its over! Next yrs camp is in like 7 months for me.. Hence, we went in the winter this yr! Love that we can do that in Hawaii! In most wards you would typically have maybe 9 girls possible up to 15 attend camp. TRY TAKING 30 people! Eeek! But It was a good time. With the help of a few leaders and my husband we pulled it off!

Sitting around under our huge canopy for dinnerChandler was our amazing WOK cook! The girls were all over their good food and cook!
At night of course, so you cant see much but we had an awesome little set up with a huge tent that blocked the wind and rain-we were ON the beach.

Here is one group doing their skit. It was "Mormons Next Top Model"! So much fun! The girls were creative!





Most of the girls sitting watching skits!


We had 9+ tents!

On their free-time they got to swim in the ocean! Wow! So not like Utah but hey Ill take beach on free-time at girls camp any day!

Chandler ans Sonny finding golf balls in the ocean!

Sonny was so excited that she found 15+ golf balls in the water! She is such a cutie!

Such a beautiful place. We camped up near the temple..North shore side of the island. We got poured on but then it was sunny! I'm glad we had okay weather it was supposed to be rainy all weekend, but it was fine! It was still 75 degrees all weekend but I wore a sweater majority of the time.

Misty- we had some major winds at times as well but our tent blocked it all for us which made it nice to meet, eat, and do all other activities!
One of the last things we did was play Hunter Hunted. Its a game where everyone gets in a huge circle and you have two people blind folded inside the circle. Then you have a paper bat that is placed somewhere in the circle. The two blind folded individuals get on their hands and knees and find the bat. Whoever finds the bat first then can stand up and has to find the other person and hit them 10 times. Everyone is yelling to try to help them find the bat then the other player. It was hilarious to see these girls walking all over the place.

Here Chandler and I are being spun. I listened to the girls screaming at me the best I can and I went straight to the bat! Then I found Chan right away!


Fun group of crazy girls! Muah!
I have a few videos I am trying to upload...
I'm so happy for the opportunity I have to serve with the Young Women. They have taught me so much thus far! They are amazing girls. Such a great group of outstanding individuals who surprise me everyday! I love my calling.

The ride home was stunning!
