Crave Phoenix

I just picked up a copy of Crave Phoenix. What is that??

It's a handbook for local businesses owned by women. Not really something that you sit down and read from cover to cover but it's a great source for local business and inspiration. And guess what...my super talented friend is featured on page 48: Rachel from Bunky Boutique!

The book offers a quick snip-it about the company and a short interview from the women who own them. 

You'll find everything from Toffee shops to Life Coaches. My favorite part: reading how other women find inspiration, put it all on the line, and followed their dreams.

Sorry for the wait

Sorry to leave you all for so long I've been in a bit of a funk. It may have something to do with getting back in the swing of things after our family vacation. No real excuse. Rather than ramble I thought I would share some photos from our trip to Maui over the fourth of July holiday. 

 

For a little over a week, this was our view from our cabanas every morning. Just past the bushes is the beach where I battled my husband in some serious games of paddle ball. He was typically the winner but I won't ever admit that to him. It was here that I finally had the chance to read Bossy Pants ...I highly recommend it. 

 

This was the view from our hotel room. Hawaiian sunsets are some of the very best I've ever seen... but nothing compares to an Arizona sunset.

Here we are in Lahaina. 

We also went to Paia, a little hippy town, where I stumbled upon a great little shop called Mahina. I bought 4 new dresses and some fun jewelry for under $100. If you love crepes, Cafe Des Amis is a must. Breakfast, lunch and, of course, desert crepes. Paia was the perfect way to end the vacation. 

I took a lot more photos with my film camera but haven't had a chance to get the film developed yet... maybe more to come...

Have a fantastic day!
