Kauai | The House

March 26, 2014 by Hillary 15 Comments

This house.

Our jaws dropped to the floor when we opened the dark wood double doors – decorated with a lion head brass door knocker – to the inside of this island abode.

Was this really all ours for the next week!?

The huge lenai, the perfectly cut green lawn, the swaying palms, the hammock of your dreams, and the priceless view — Hawaii living at its finest.

While we did explore Kauai throughout the week, some days it was hard to leave the back “porch.” Baby Beach was 100 feet away; the guys could happily snorkel (and spear fish) within view of the curious adults keeping an eye out from the lenai; frisbies and footballs had all the freedom to fly.

Super Oats and Starbucks iced coffee become a ritual breakfast every morning, enjoyed outside — with bare feet and banana boxers.

The picturesque sunsets were not to be missed every evening over the crashing waves, nor were the daily rainbows.

    Gorgeous! I think a house is the way to go when on vacation. That or condos with kitchens work best for us!

    What a gorgeous view. Isn’t it more affordable to rent a house than stay at a big hotel? Just wondering for next time I visit.

      I suppose it depends what sort of house you rent, but my guess would be that it would be more affordable.

#happynewyear
❷⓿❷⓿ - moved clear across the country to ❷⓿❷⓿

- moved clear across the country to a new state for the second time
- hopped from one AirBNB to the next for 6 weeks while looking for a house to call home
- made new friends, virtually & IRL
- binge watched more TV shows than I can recall
- leveled up as an entrepreneur: hitting milestones with my virtual assistant and @beautycounter businesses
- voted for a new president 
- ascended new trails and explored alpine lakes of the Pacific Northwest 
- adapted: to Zoom holidays, takeout, and masked faces becoming the (temporary) norm

This challenging year was all about appreciating the little things while living through some really BIG things. 2020 had more than a few lessons to teach us all. Through a pandemic, pivotal change in presidency, and loud cry for human rights, I see very clearly how privileged I am. It was the year to let go of plans and lean in to a new perspective. 

After all, hindsight is ②⓪②⓪.

Best thing about 2020... for me, it’s been relationships - virtual and IRL.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
One of the goals that I set for 2020 was to make one new local friend in Seattle (seriously something I wrote down as I began the new year moving across the country). While I’m happy to say that I did so (during a pandemic), I feel fortunate for the virtual friendships that developed, too.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
I’ve gotta take a second to give a shoutout to my newest soul sista @weeksofwonder. You helped me get after it during my second year of entrepreneurship with a hefty dose of #2020 mayhem. 🙏🏼⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Wendy and I met here on IG, and what started as a business relationship and accountability partner has turned into a special bond that transcends any walkie-talkie or social media app. This creative spirit has not only inspired me to get after it and dream bigger as an entrepreneur, but in the same way has encouraged me to honor rest and play: whether it’s giving each other kudos on Strava for tackling a run, building badass business plans and packages, or simply holding space to share the wins and the many woes, personally and professionally, of a memorable year. Having Wendy in my corner has led to some serious momentum and a sense of consistent community.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
2020 has been a shit show, but it delivered GRL PWR 👊🏻⁣⁣

We want to hear from YOU: Who has been your supportive soul sister through the ups and downs of 2020? ⁣⁣
