CREATE: DIY Natural Organic Deodorant
My mom always told me, simplicity is beauty. And after all these years, I’m applying that nugget of wisdom to my armpits… you heard right! Did I ever tell you that I went a whole month *without* deodorant? Yeah, probably not what my mom meant.
Dive Log: Birthday Out West at Nua-Seetaga Bay
For my birthday this year, all I wanted to do was go scuba diving at a new dive site. My darling Ian got a small group of friends together and we headed west to Nua-Se’etaga Bay for a dive, and to hang out for a lovely arvo.

Always love a little girl time <3

INTERNET IS UP – I’m Back! (Post Cyclone Gita Updates)
Hello again 21st century world! The Internet is back up and I’m so thankful to have all my basic necessities again. Here are some updates on my situation post-Cyclone Gita…
Why I started Moments
To bring back the good old Tumblr vibes. To record the little snippets of life. To keep me writing candidly (without feeling the need to edit myself so much). To keep my blog more active. To share my favorite little memories. To get photos off my camera roll. To express myself. To revisit later on. To remember.

My Cyclone Evac Kit List
Before Cyclone Gita hit American Samoa, I made a list of what I packed in my Deuter bag to prepare for the worst. It’s my evacuation kit of essentials.
Cyclone Gita Aftermath
Cyclone Gita impacted our shores early Friday morning on February 9th. A cyclone watch was issued just the day before, then a warning later in the night – and then it hit us. So I think it’s safe to say that we weren’t all that ready for Gita’s wrath.
