🌴 Must-Have Sandals for Your Beach Trip!
|
Aloha Reader! If you’re heading to Hawaii or another sunny, sand-filled destination, let’s talk about one thing that can make or break your trip: your sandals. You want something cute enough for a dinner by the ocean, comfy enough for walking along beach paths or exploring farmers markets, and easy to slip on and off at the beach or pool. After way too many “why did I pack these?!” sandal fails, I finally found some favorites that actually do it all — comfy, stylish, and perfect for beach vacations. Bonus: they’re all on Amazon, so you don’t have to make a special shopping trip! Here are my top picks: 👣 Söfft Women's Mirabelle Platform Sandal 👣 Vionic Women's Copal Kirra Strappy Sandals 👣 REEF Vista Hi Buckle Platform Sandals 👣 Teva Women’s Midform Universal Sandal 👣 Blowfish Women’s Granola Sandal If Hawaii (or any beachy place!) is on your travel list this summer, these sandals will keep your feet happy while you soak up the sun and explore with your family. Because let’s be honest — when your feet feel good, everyone has a better time. 😉 Warm wishes & sandy toes, P.S. I’ve worn these on beaches, at luaus, and even through airports — and they’ve never let me down. |

Aloha Reader, This is the question I get more than almost any other. Maui or Oahu? Which one should we do? And the answer I always give is: it depends on your family. Not in a wishy-washy way. In a very specific way. Because these two islands are genuinely different trips, and the right one for you has everything to do with what you're actually looking for. So let me walk you through how I think about it. You should probably do Oahu if: It's your first time in Hawaii. Oahu is the easiest...
Aloha Reader, I got an email a couple weeks ago from a mom who'd been planning her July Maui trip for months. Flights booked. Hotel sorted. She just hadn't gotten around to the luau yet. She wanted to know which one I'd recommend. I pulled up availability. Sold out. All of them. For her entire week. That's not unusual for summer Hawaii anymore. The window between "I should book that" and "it's gone" has gotten a lot shorter. If you have a trip on the calendar between June and August, some...
Aloha Reader, Someone emailed me last month asking if she should just skip Hawaii this summer and take the kids to Disney instead. I told her absolutely not. But I also told her the truth. Summer Hawaii is a different animal. And if you go in without knowing what you're walking into, it can feel overwhelming fast. Here's what I mean. Hotels that cost $300 a night in May are $450 in July. Sometimes more. Popular beaches are packed by 9am. Hanauma Bay sells out days in advance and you have to...
