Hanauma Bay Nature Preserve
We’ve talked about the beaches… let’s not forget what’s under the water! One of my favorite creatures is the sea turtle, and if you’re hoping to see one in it’s natural habitat (along with tons of colorful tropical fish!) then you can’t miss Hanauma Bay Nature Preserve. This underwater preserve is one of the most popular snorkeling and diving spots in Hawaii. The clear waters and abundance of sea life make it a perfect place to experience the ocean. Sea turtles are often seen swimming in the bay, and the reefs are teeming with colorful fish.

Kualoa Beach Park
A great place to go paddle boarding! The park is located on the island of Oahu in Hawaii. The best time to go paddle boarding is in the morning when the water is calm. Before you go out, you should check the weather conditions and make sure there are no strong winds or waves. You should also wear a life jacket and sunscreen. When you get to the beach, you can rent a paddle board from one of the many rental companies. Once you're out on the water, you can paddle to Mokoliʻi island, also known as Chinaman's Hat. The island is a beautiful place to explore and it's a great place to go for a swim.

I absolutely love them. I wear them with a lavender colored blouse. I'll have to check to see if you have them in other colors.
By the way, the photo in my string bracelet, which was of a flower, fell out. Is it a press fit, or should I glue it back in?
This necklace is even more beautiful in person. I love it. The packaging was very nice as well. Will definitely buy again from foterra and this artist!
