If you are reading this...thanks for stopping by my blog =)
For those of you that have been following me you know that I just got back from Hawaii for my Godsons first birthday. Sadly I was only there for 6 days, and although I didn't get to see ALL of my family while I was in town, the party was a success =) I was up almost every night super late trying to help with party favors etc...  and hang out with my cousins and my new friends.
I finally went paddle boarding for the first time, thanks to my cousin. I got to spend a *little* time in the ocean, not nearly as much as I wanted to, however I'll take what I can get.

I took video and photos of my trip and will be making a video and posting it on my youtube channel as soon as I am done with editing.

All in all it was a great trip, I feel so honored that I got to help celebrate my godsons first birthday, especially because I was unable to be there for his birth and his baptism. Im sad that the trip was so short, but soooo thankful for the amazing family and friends that God has blessed me with.

Music of the Moment:

One of my FAVORITE things about being back home in Hawaii, is being able to turn on the radio and listen to the music that I actually want to hear and not have to shuffle through my iPhone! I came across some new songs and some that I have heard before my trip...but right now I am loving "Rooted" by Kimie  and Irie Love. No matter where I am or what I'm doing I'll never forget where I come from.

[[thanks for stopping by my blog make sure to leave questions//comments//subscribe to this blog & follow me on my other networks]]------>>>>

This past Saturday (Jan 14th) was super awesome... I got to see my best friend Mrs. Chelsea Smith (@Mayochelsea). We went up to the "hills" a.k.a. Colfax where she is from to surprise her mom and celebrate her birthday. We hung out with the fam, rode the quad around the "mountains", watched the niner game, and watched Adele's Live in concert DVD....WOW. 

Which brings me to....

Music of the Moment:

I have always been an Adele fan, but after seeing (part of) that DVD. I love her even more. Her talent is so raw and pure, she has SO much soul and the lyrics to her music are so deep. If you don't have it already, you should definitely  buy her album, it is well worth the money. Hopefully I will be doing open mics and recording covers of her songs and other artists soon. When I do, you can find those on my YouTube channel (tasha0227). Those of you that are friends on my fb may have already seen this video, but if you haven't check out this piece created by Keoni Madrid & Mariel Martin its CRAZYYY amazing...

Fitness Update:

I have been TRYING...I repeat...TRYING to get on a consistent schedule where I can workout at the same time everyday in the early morning, with enough time to get ready afterwards and continue on with the rest of my day, before work and soon school. I admit that I skipped a couple of days, simply because P90X workouts are usually at LEAST an hour long. Because I haven't been working out as much as I'd want to, I am really trying to eat as healthy as I can. I find that it is really difficult to try and eat healthy in a house where that's not really a priority. Below are some personal favorites of mine =)

(Top right) Plutos salad. (Bottom right) From my restaurant-green salad with grilled chicken/avocado & side of fresh salmon sashimi. (Top left) Chocolate protein shake. (Middle left) Chipotle Chicken Burrito Bowl {myFav!} (Bottom left) another favorite...Honey flavored Greek Yogurt with granola and a little honey mixed in. 

Pinterest Favorites:

Quick update:
I FINALLY bought my ticket to CHICAGO! I am soooo excited I get to see my good friend Jvani! I can't wait to see the city and all of the things it has to offer. After 5 years of wanting to visit her I am finally going mid-February.

Pinterest finally invited me--follow me to see my pins&boards:  tasha0227

if you don't know what it is...its basically a virtual pinboard where you can post and find inspirational photos/videos that you and other people have put up. You can follow people, share your posts, repin etc...[below] is one of my favorite photos from Pinterest. It's a photo of the beach with the bible verse Jeremiah 29:11, which has had a HUGE impact on my life. It's my go-to motivational verse for 2012 =)

"For I know the plans that I have for you." Declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."

Music of the Moment:
Shoutout to Carlo Nuevo [aka M.Born]. Have fun in the Philippines. Can't wait to see photos and updates from your trip. If you don't know Carlo, check out his music http://mborn.bandcamp.com/ .
