South Indian Temple in Nadi, Fiji. It's apparently the largest one in the Southern Hemisphere.

Hemp Bracelet Attempt 1

After coming back from Fiji, I've wanted to recreate the "stacked bracelet" look. Now because my wrists are tiny, traditional bracelets tend to fall off, so I decided to make some hemp bracelets instead. There was also someone on base who had the stacked hemp bracelet look, and she looked gorgeous, so why not copy a pretty thing?

Attempt 1:

A simple braided bracelet with 3 beads strung in.

I will never get tired of it. Ever.

Back from Fiji!

And let me tell you, I miss it like none other.

Silana Village, you were too kind to me. Even with the roosters crowing at 3:40 in the morning, and the dogs barking whenever they pleased, and the frogs pooping in the middle of the room, I wish I was back on base. Being with 30 other people, all who come from different places, have experienced different things, and have different plans for the future was amazing. There's so much to learn from everyone (and lemme tell you, I learned some key German phrases) that I wish I was back. And my class at Navunisea District School was the best. Super sassy and sweet, and eager to learn.

See you when I see you, Fiji.
