Update 9/14 I am running a little bit behind in rating my partners and I feel so guilty about it! My life has been very busy and stressful recently, and I apologize for my lateness. I hope to catch up on ratings in the next few days. Thank you for your understanding.

I am a 25 year old college student from the island of Maui, Hawaii, where I was born and raised.

I love kawaii stuff and enjoy sending and receiving mail!

My very favorite thing to do is go to the beach. I love to snorkel and find empty shells. I collect them and use some in jewelry I make. Being near the ocean has always brought me peace.

I have two adorable Havanese dogs. Sadly, Auli`i crossed over "Rainbow Bridge" on May 25, 2013. She will always be my angel puppy.

I am a graphic designer and webmaster. I love art and I also work in ceramics, jewelry making, decoupage, painting, drawing, origami, and sewing.

I have an open mind and I'm a bit of a dreamer. I was born a Pisces and it's very fitting of me.

Honesty is important to me. I always send my swaps and rate. Please, if for some reason you have not received your swap or rating, just let me know!

Please note: I only mark my items "sent" after I've physically dropped them off at the post office. Sometimes I mail things on a Saturday or Sunday and they don't get postmarked until Monday. Mail from Hawaii, especially the outer islands (it must travel to our main island, Oahu, first) may take longer to arrive, since we are located 2,500 miles away from the mainland. :)
