HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY! 💐 . Wishing all the mothers a relaxing Sunday and hope you feel extra loved and appreciated today because we all know you deserve it everyday! We started celebrating early by going to @foodlandhi yesterday, getting fresh flowers (they have a lot of beautiful flowers and plants!), and, of course my favorite - food shopping! All I wanted was a charcuterie spread (or more appropriately called: adult lunchables 😅). Enjoyed every bite of it - and the strawberries from @kulacountryfarms were so sweet and delicious! Today, we woke up early and headed to Waikiki beach. We heard that the water was crystal clear so had to see it for ourselves and it sure was! We haven’t seen clear waters like this in Waikiki in our entire lives! No sunscreen merking up the ocean! It was amazing being able to experience the clarity. Get out there enjoy the beach today moms - you owe it to yourself! #ad #hdoaeatlocal #eatlocaltoday . . . . .
