WIAW: Maui Edition!

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!

Beach Girls MauiMy 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).

Flaming Calves Incline Workout 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? 

IMG_1127Breakfast 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.

IMG_1125The 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!)

    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!!!

    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!

    OMG! I love your bikini!!!! Where did you get it?! And it only seems right to eat coconut M&Ms in Hawaii! So fitting! 😀

    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!

    Cliff jumping! That sounds like so much fun. That is one thing I would love to do. Lava Flows are definitely my favorite drink when I go on vacay.

    That really does sound like the perfect vacation! I can never believe how hot it gets in the morning. Super sweaty workouts feel rewarding though :) Have a blast! Alooooha!

    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..

    I always feel so much better on vacation if I get in a little workout! And I absolutely LOVE lava flows. Virgin, of course!

    Hawaiian mangoes are the best!! Oh and those coconut m&ms are amazing aren’t they? I bet they taste 10x better when eaten in Hawaii though! 😛
    Enjoy the rest of your trip!!
