Hey all you party people! Time for some fun with WIAW: Maui edition. I’ve been soaking up the sun all day in Hawaii! The weather here is amazing and the water is the perfect temperature!
My day started off on a super sweaty note. My younger cousin, Olivia, and I headed down to the gym at 6 a.m to get in a workout! I didn’t do anything fancy, just 20 minutes on the elliptical and my Flaming Calves workout, but I felt like a coffee machine with the drip drip dripping that was happening on my face. Seriously, guys, someone implanted a million baby waterfalls in my pores. (Haha, gross).
After we came back up to the hotel room (which is gorgeous and has the most amazing views!) I showered and then proceeded to eat some breakfast and then went directly back to bed for a morning nap. Hey, that’s what vacation is for, right?
Breakfast was a simple yogurt bowl with grapes and some frosted mini wheats (un-pictured). Satisfying and cool!
After lounging around after our naps, my sister, cousin, and I headed over to the beach for some swimming and cliff jumping! I swear it seems 5452424 times higher up once you get up there! Holy mother of flying turtles, did I scream when I jumped! We swam and enjoyed the sunshine and surf, then grabbed some Starbucks for lunch. I love the refreshers that they have! SO good! Since it was so hot, the only thing I felt like was a big ol’ salad.
Then it was back up to the room for another shower (I can’t stand the feeling of sand or chlorine on me for too long) and some serious snackage. I feasted on coconut M&Ms, more frosted mini wheats, potato chips, and fresh mangoes. Mhmm.
The rest of the day was spent reading and relaxing. Dinner was at a Thai restaurant and was a bunch of dishes shared potluck style, so I didn’t get a very concrete picture. Just believe me, it was delicious!
Tomorrow’s plans include another great workout, the pool/beach, shopping, and some lava flows (yum!)
Hope everyone else is having a fabulous week!
xoxo Christine

Impressive you were able to get up @ 6am while on vacation to fit in a workout! Maui looks absolutely beautiful- next time I’m in the States its definitely on my ‘to go’ list. When my mate got back from a recent trip there, he brought back stacks of those coconut m and ms and i think maybe some special hershey kisses which they only sell there? Anyway that was literally half his suitcase then the week after, our supermarkets started stocking those m and ms. fail.

Aw it sounds like you are having an absolutely amazing time in Hawaii!! So glad! And that’s the best thing about vacations, you get to have your own schedule and do whatever you want, even if it is a nap in the morning! Hope you have a wonderful time while you’re there!!!
Jessie says
Aren’t those m&ms awesome? You have to find some of the local coconut granola. It’s heaven!!
Fran@BCDC says
Oh, Christine…I didn’t really need to know that there were coconut M & M’s!!! Yum. Love the photo of you in the sunset! Enjoy your visit!
Shashi @ http://runninsrilankan.com says
Yes – I know that feeling of a “million baby waterfalls in my pores” – great analogy
I learned something new today by stumbling on your blog – and that is the existence of coconut m&m’s!
Lovely pics!
Nicole @ FruitnFitness says
It sounds like you are having an awesome vacation. Those coconut m&m’s look good, I will have to try some soon! Cliff diving, now that just sounds scary!
Liz @ The Girl on Fire Now says
Coconut M&M’s sound amazing! Yum!
I would love to go cliff diving, although I’d probably do a cannon ball 😉
Lauren says
OMG! I love your bikini!!!! Where did you get it?! And it only seems right to eat coconut M&Ms in Hawaii! So fitting! 😀
Becky @ Olives n Wine says
Okay two things. First of all, THOSE VIEWS!!! I’m dying a little bit inside being in Minnesota right now… And second of all, coconut M&M’s??! Where have these been all my life? Need.

First off: that red shirt/dress in the last picture looks amazing! And the view from your hotel room? Stunning.
Maui must be a great place to be right now and I’m happy to hear you’re making the most of your vacation. Kudos to you for daring the cliff jumping? I don’t think I’d have been able to do that.
Enjoy the rest of your stay!

You are so pretty and eat so well. I currently am dealing with chronic fatigue (no exercise) and ..shamefully…binging very late at night every night….so ashamed. I’m in my 30’s and my digestion is so …ruined. I just don’t know how to break this neverending cycle….like I don’t want to..
Natalie @ Lift,Sleep, Eat says
