MER DAY

(Photos by: Virgi P.)

My friends and I went on a little boat riding adventure in the pacific ocean today and it was amazing!! There are exciting things happening on that boat and I cannot wait to share it with you!

In the meantime, I have a recent obsession with my new Mer Bag. I had the pleasure of going to the Mer Bags studio while I was in New York and cannot get over how amazing these bags are! I’ve already taken many trips on my bike and the beach with it. And now I can say it handled on a boat with me!

The whole concept of this particular bag is to be able to put all of your wet bikini’s, suits, towels etc. without it soaking through your bag! More so, they are made for the urban [active] junkie. If you’re a surfer, biker, skater, sailor, or walker Texas ranger you need this bag. These things are heavy duty, made with industrial materials, and made to last. And the entire company is based in Brooklyn, New York. I mean the entire thing. Everything is designed, produced, manufactured, packaged, and shipped out of their rad studio. It’s a beautiful rarity.

Since I got my bag it is the first one I grab when I’m heading out the door or going to the beach. I especially love the colors. It looks a little like a firefighting outfit doesn’t it?? I decided its perfect for biking safely on the road. No one wants to hit a big yellow dot on wheels, right?! I will be getting good use outta this bad boy bag for sure!

Mer Bags, Mer Days.

INTO THE PACIFIC BLUE

I found that the best times to get into the ocean are early in the morning. Tourists sleep in, residents have to work, lazy people don’t get up before 10am.. But more importantly, the water is most clear and the winds are usually very light. It’s a dream.

This was the best part about staying on Hapuna beach. We had the whole beach to ourselves in the morning. It felt like we had the whole pacific ocean to ourselves too. No one in sight. The beach and ocean looked untouched. The sand still had neatly layered ripples.. undisturbed by human feet. It was the most beautiful thing to see. All I wanted to do was lay at the surface and let the oceans tide ripple passed me. All day.

I want get lost in the pacific blue.

INTO THE DEEP BLUE


(Photos by: TR)

It’s official: Summer is here. The last of the waves have come and gone and now we have to look to town for waves! But in the meantime: we’ll be dipping into the ocean without boards and snorkel in hand.

We took a couple snaps with our trusty GoPro, dodged a couple eager tourists, and made our way out into the deep blue ocean. I’m really look forward to long sunny days, cloudless skies and more time getting to know the sea. I’ve decided for as much time I spend in the water I know so little about my salty friend. I kind of want to dedicate this summer to understanding and getting to know the ocean on a deeper level. That sounds really hippie, doesn’t it? Well, true it is. The tides, the creatures, the activity, the works. A self taught marine biologist if you will. Hahhh. We’ll see. It’ll be an ongoing challenge to myself.

In the meantime: I’ll be diving deep into the blue they call sea.

OREGON COAST | MINI SLIDING


(Photos by: SUM NUT)

My big sis just sent me the most amazing photos of a little trip they took to the Oregon coast. My favorite little people got groovy on some logs, did some fully-clothed swimming, and roosted a few. My mini (well.. I’d like to think she is my mini. I want to be as cool as her some day) got a sweet little log ride similar to mine on a recent Beach Comb. I can’t get over it! So rad! I would almost consider these photos in the fashion category.. how rad is the little mans outfit?? That Norsk sweater!! He’s looking extra fab in his red and yellow combo. And my mini’s fur jacket, stripe leggings, and layering.. I should be taking fashion queues from them!!

I’m so stoked on these photos. I definitely need to plan a trip back to Oregon real soon to visit kindred and embark on some cold water adventures.

Missing and loving these little mini sliding kiddos!!
