anna miller's




This is the 2nd time I've been here and I like the atmosphere. We didn't have to wait long at all to get seats. This place is 24hrs so I think it's pretty popular. So above are some shots of what we ate [the pie and salad aren't mine.] I had the saimin and it was quite filling. Idk maybe I wasn't that hungry but I liked that it came with quite a lot of shrimp. The salad is actually called the "chef's salad" so that might have to do with why it's so big. I can't really recall but I think the pie is strawberry haupia. Anywho always a fun time whenever we go to restaurants =)

ardell lashes




This is the 1st time I'm trying ardell lashes and I like um! These are the 107 ones and I love the length and the look of these. [Oh and BTW no I'm not naked in the pics, just wearing a tube top guys.] Anyways the glue I used was the Ardell lash adhesive in clear. I'm not sure why but regardless of the type of lashes or glue that I use, my falsies always "lift up" near the inner corners of my eyes throughout the night. Oh well maybe I'm just not putting enough glue or doing it wrong. But figured I post some photos of what the lashes look like on. =)

gyu kaku



A while back we went to try this japanese bbq style type of restaurant. Cooking our own food was quite fun! I had fun and it was interesting. The only complaint was that I felt a little squashed in our booth. It was just me and my other friend but the table and sitting area did feel a bit crowded. I didn't have much leg room due to the grill which is in the center of the table/post. But the grill has to go somewhere so guess u can't really complain bout that. We ordered a bunch of stuff: chicken steak, shrimp, kalbi etc. It was yummy! I had this coupon that was a buy one get one so that's what we used when we purchased out steaks. And for the rest of our food we just ordered off the happy hour menu. Out total came out to $35 more or less which is a little more expensive than out usual budget. However the experience and and food made it worth it. We went before 5 o clock so it wasn't crowded at all!

sparkly red nails





So a while ago I painted my nails this very red, very sparkly color. I know according to the pics they don't look all that red, but trust me they're red! haha. I just combined this red nail polish and applied a top coat of red sparkles on it. Then after that coat, I just applied a clear top coat. I love this style especially for the holidays! I'm super early I know but I just couldn't help myself. This combo is just so cutee!

cheesecake factory

Went a while ago and this is what I got! We decided to get take out so we didn't have to wait in line to be seated..we just wanted cheesecake lol. I got the Hershey's pie one, which I have had before. It's soo delicious and chocolately! Since the slices are nicely sized, I ate a part of it at home then saved the rest for later. I feel like I have to eat it little by little cause that's a whole lot of chocolate haha. It was around $8 or so.

blue water shrimp market

Here's a pic of what i got when we went to the international marketplace. Apparently blue water shrimp market has multiple locations but we wanted to stay close by so we went to this one. Isn't the presentation nice?? It's garlic shrimp, 2 scoops rice [one scoop has furikake on it] corn, pineapple slice, and a side salad. Got it with the entertainment book coupon so it wasn't expensive at all. 

cuties!!

This pic is pretty old but it's just so cute! This is a pic of one of my dog's puppies when they were young. Sooo cuteee right???? How adorable is it sleeping?!? lol I love animals =)

north shore grindz



Like last month or so we went to the north shore to go get some shrimp! We decided to go to mackys because we had a coupon from the entertainment book. It was $2 off a plate so instead of paying $12 we only had to pay $10 each. I must say this shrimp was DELICIOUS!! We both got the garlic shrimp which is apparently the most popular-and with reason! I'm not exaggerating how yummy it was! The plate was well proportioned: it had about 7 or so pieces of shrimp, rice, salad, and a slice of pineapple. The shrimp was made so well! The pineapple was also yummy-not sour at all! We went later in the afternoon so it wasn't crowded. Our plates we're surprisingly made so quickly! I love this place because the food was ono, the staff were nice, and the wait wasn't long at all =)

ihop

Went to ihop like last month and ordered my usual..a short stack =) the waitress was soo nice! On our receipt there was this code thing that offered free short stacks!! I'm not sure how long ihop is doing this but you just have to call the number on your receipt, take the automated survey and write down the code on your receipt. Simple right? (If you don't know what a short stack is, it's 3 pancakes). Anyways, according to the receipt, you have 30 days from when you came to ihop to redeem the offer. Also, it's one free short stack per check. The waitress who served us gave my friend and I extra receipts so that we can get even more short stacks =) However, I've never actually redeemed my receipt yet =p My friend did though and she said it worked! But ya if ihop is no longer doing this, I suggest keeping a look out for their other deals cause honestly this place is a bit pricey, but I feel like they do have nice deals every now and then.

pagoda buffet


Tried out the brunch buffet with the fam bam and it was yummy! I really enjoyed the food and the ambiance. I like that they had different choices at their buffet-ranging from seafood, to breakfast, to starches. They also had a little section for dessert, but the little cake pieces go fast! They also had an ice cream machine. My favorite part of the restaurant is that it's surrounded by water with koi fish, and other fishes in it! They also have a nice waterfall and there also were some ducks that stopped by for a swim lol. I would come here again and maybe eat outside this time. The only thing with that is you would have to walk a little farther to-and-from the buffet area. But overall I really enjoyed myself!

like like drive inn


Went to Like like drive inn for the first time ever! I tried their saimin and it kept me ohh so warm =) The waitress was so nice too! Depending on what meal you order, it'll come with dinner rolls (our saimin originally doesn't but our waitress gave us some anyway). We also tried their ice cream which was a nice touch to a yummy meal =) This place has been around for forevers so I felt happy that I finally got to go =)

curry house


Went to curry house in the ala moana mall a while back and got my usual! (I've honestly never tried to order someting else before lol). Think it's called a spicy seafood curry or something like that. It was delicious as always!! I love it when food is delicious, filling, and very inexpensive =)

storage for your accessories!


So here's a clear hanging organizer i got from ross. I love this thing! I've wanted one of these things but wasn't really sure if they sold them around. So when i saw this i got so excited =) Right now I only have some accessories but since this thing has so many pockets [front and back] i'm sure it can fit soo many different things. I got it for $12.99. This is great, especially if you want to conserve space, since you can just hang it in your closet!!

Target haul



So I never really purchase anything from target only cause I'm kind of a wal mart gurl haha. But anyways I got this cutteee bag and a couple of compact mirrors for a great price! Can you guess how much the bag was? hmm?? haha well it was in the clearance section and I got it for $20.98, while the original price was $41.99! scoree!! So glad I saw this purse cause my usual bag was kinda falling apart on the handles. I got the mirrors for 2 for $5. Really happy I snagged these mirrors cause I've been on the search for some compact mirrors! haha. Also, while we were at target some guy came up to me and gave me a $10 bill!! crazy right?? idk why he did it but he just handed it to me and said "just a little blessing for you" or something around those lines. I was kinda confused as to why he gave me the money but I'm grateful! Soo nice right?

hayashis sushi


I haven't had sushi in soooo long! I ordered the salmon roll which is like one of the cheapest things on the menu and sooo delicious! The fam bam also ordered the spicy ahi roll, california roll, and the ninja star roll. Idk why but this is my go-to place when it comes to sushi. I've tried other sushi spots here and there but I always come back to this place. The wait can be long sometimes so feel free to call ahead. yayy sushi!!

Thai food


So I only have 1 pic but oh well haha. We went to this local thai food place that has such delicious food!! We got the chicken wings, red and green curry, pad thai, and sticky rice =) I'm not really used to sticky rice but it was still pretty filling. The chicken in the pic above originally came with like 8 wings or something, I just took the pic in the middle of eating cause I was soo hungry heheh.

new nails-sparkly blue!!



So to get this look I used a really cute deep blue polish from wet n wild. Then I used a sparkly overcoat from the california brand. I absolutely loved the way my nails turned out! I really liked the sparkle nail polish because you can put it over any nail polish really, to get a cute sparkling effect =)

ono cheesesteak


Tried a cheesesteak for the first time =] and they are delicious!! wasn't sure if i would like it but i really did. I've heard of ono cheesesteak before but have never tried it out till recently. we went to the waikiki location. it's a small little place but i'm glad we went I got a small cheesesteak with mushrooms and we used my coupon from the entertainment book so was cheap! came out to around 7 bucks or something for 2 small cheesesteaks =] I really like everything about food. The bread was tasy..the steak was nice..the mushrooms were delicious..the cheese and I think they had some sort of sauce in it too- were all delicious!

p.f. changs


Went to p.f. changs with my sister and used a coupon! noo it wasn't a coupon from the entertainment book ahha. it was a coupon from the aloha run. It was buy1 get1 entree. sweet deal right!! we went to the one in the royal hawaiian center in waikiki. in the picture the top is the spicy chicken i think and the bottom is the kung pao shrimp. it was ono =] I really like the sauce it came with on the side too, really enhanced the meal. Our total came to around $20 not including tip. I called ahead and made a reservation so we got a nice table out on their lanai..I enjoyed their food but they are a bit pricey, but then again it is a legit restaurant so yaaa

mahaloha burger


So I've never heard of this place before so i'm not sure if it's new or not. anyways mahaloha is located in the royal hawaiian shopping center food court. Their burgers are a little pricy but I think that since that food court is generally expensive then what can u expect. I had a coupon tho from the entertainment book so wasn't too expensive after that. The picture is of their original mahaloha burger..they have other stuff too like salmon burger etc. Don't really remember but think a burger is around $7 and for few bucks more u can get a combo. I thought it was cute how they have this vibrating thingy like outback steakhouse to let u know when ur order is ready =] I like this place but honestly was like a regular burger to me..it was pretty huge tho so u get ur moneys worth!
