Bringing our Tiki to Kauai! @bully_and_gecko_bartender is having a birthday tomorrow, so I packed a 4-day trip to Kauai to do some celebratin’. Staying at the oh so quaint Kauai Palms Hotel and after two flights! We made it! Wrapped my new @ronmomster purse in a beach towel in my carry on and away we go… #tikilife #tikistyle #islandliving #happybirthday #islandhopping #tiki #matchymatchy #livingthelife #thiswasourplan #kimostwopointoh #thegeckosgrotto #tikibar #allaboutthetiki #tradervics

Arugula and Watermelon Salad with Chocolate and Lilikoi Basalmic, Asparagus and Portobello Mushrooms with Cream cheese, @traderjoes Green Goddess Seasoning and vegan cheese! Of course, tasty cocktails to wash it all down #almostplantbased #yummmmm #goodeats #luckywelivehawaii #islandstyle #islandlife #watermelon #arugula #basalmicvinegar #asparagus #portobello #summermeals

Made a @jello dessert for @bully_and_gecko_bartender for Father’s Day. Used some boxes in the pantry, but had to make the sweetened condensed milk and somehow ended up with more blue & red chunks so I made a second one. Used all my @tupperwareusca pieces so it was a fun dessert! #jello #brokenglassdessert #stainedglassdessert #yummmmm #celebrate #jayeeeleloh

How did I miss this?! Saw this on sale at Longs last week and had to get! One end is the Mickey stamp and the other eyeliner! Genius and so fun to show Disney Spirit! #mickeymouse #mickeymouseeyeliner #creme #disneycreme #disneymakeup #itallstartedwithamouse

So I made a couple of purses! I purchased the handles (I painted them black, the bamboo were big damnaged so I treated and figured making them match the bag was the best way to get true use out of them) from our local fabric store back in 2019, and decided to make some bags to match my new color scheme. Still learning my new @babylocksewing machine but loved the inner fabrics I picked and the fun buttons I found. I found the grey flowers at a kiosk in the mall and added the giant pearls from other florals I had in my hair fastener supplies. They are mounted to a weaved hand fan I also painted black and white. #seizethegray #PlatinumHair #SilverSiren #AgelessBeauty #GrayGrace #SeniorStyle #ElegantGray #MatureMane #ChicSilver #SophisticatedStyle #TimelessTresses #AgingGracefully #SilverFox #GlamorousGray #PlatinumBeauty #SassySilver #RadiantGray #MatureGlamour #SleekSilver #seizethegrey #vintagestyle #tikistyle ##luckywelivehawaii #alohawear #imadethis #purse #handbag #sewing #tikilife

Looked at one of these almost exactly a year ago while on O’ahu. The cashier was too busy being distracted with her phone to help me so I let it go. Two months later, back on BI, I see one in a shop, better shape and better price. Guess it was meant to be. #menehune #unitedairlines #jimbeam #1975hawaiianopen #goodfind #islandlife #islandstyle

@bully_and_gecko_bartender has been making sour dough bread again and Saturday Night’s plant-based burger and cheese were amazing tucked between those buns! #goodeats #plantbased #sourdough #homemade #yummmmm

So Iki the International Tiki Cat is in an identity crisis. After a scuffle last week, his ear was pretty wrecked (the dark one had a puncture hole and the white one was tore up). Despite my best efforts to clean it 2-3 times a day, he developed an abscess. One emergency vet visit later and he got half his head and neck shaved, abscess drained & cleaned and 5 stitches removing some dead ear tissue (I thought I was cleaning a big scab)! I think he’s kinda punk rock now: getting in fights, head shaving and stitches! He’s recuperating fine, doesn’t want to be confined to the house or, gasp, have to use the litter box so he was liberated to in/out privileges yesterday afternoon and is in higher spirits. #ikicat #dontcallmeferal #ikitheinternationaltikicat #punk #stitches #kittywithamohawk

Plant based Italian ‘sausage’ with onion, peppers and a few tablespoons of spoons of my homemade pasta sauce. #trynewthings #plantbased #mangia #goodeats #yummmmm #homecooking #eat
