Shall I spill it all?? It’s been a while since I’ve blogged, but since it’s one of my resolutions for the new year, I might as well…what’s been going on in my life lately…not much, just completely full days!! Waking up to my smiling 3 (almost 4) year old son either jumping on the bed to wake me or saying, “Mommy, I made us some cereal. With cranberry juice because we are out of milk.” So cute!! I feel like I must be raising a good man if he’s already making me breakfast in bed on a random Tuesday! Maybe he’s learning it from my sweet boyfriend, Dusty! After breakfast, we ride bikes to his preschool with a quick goodbye hug and kiss, then I’m off to the jewelry studio for a few hours. The waves have been fun, so after school, we head to the beach for some hours in the sun! The days have been beautiful and everyone’s in good spirits with the fresh energy of the newly arrived year of 2012.
Speaking of new energy, I just received my February issue of Oprah magazine in the mail yesterday, and I’ve already read it from cover to cover! I love O Magazine! 
The magazine always features new material that keeps you reading…talk about empowering women to be their best and experience life to the fullest. I am always inspired by the stories of successful women in the magazine, following their dreams despite doubts or fears that may come up on their journey.
One of my girlfriends, Daize Shayne, was recently interviewed by Oprah Magazine, talking about her adventures of traveling the world with her family. You can see her family’s story here: thegoodwinproject.com
This amazing family is traveling all over the world with their 2 young children to simply explore life in different cultures to create a documentary film at the end of it all! 
Daize stopped by the studio a couple months ago on their visit to Oahu for the Triple Crown of Surfing event, and I was able to interview her. Here’s a few photos from the interview of us here at the North Shore Wellness Retreat.

More on our interview later. Daize is such a beautiful spirit, with a heart of gold. She gave birth to her 2 children at home, all natural too! Talk about a strong woman!! Here’s a photo of Daize on her adventure in Barranca, Peru, with her family.

Daize specifically asked for some jewelry for me so that she could feel beautiful on her travels, as the family will travel together to 18 countries in just one year. I am so honored to be able to help her on her journey. Enjoy reading about this amazing family on their site: http://thegoodwinproject.com and look for their upcoming film (with Daize sporting Noelani Designs Jewelry!)
